Restart After a Download
After a download, when restart from last value is specified, the following
restart parameters are set to their failsafe values; set point = 0%,
bias = 0%, and ratio = 1. When a specific restart value is defined for
these parameters, that value is used. Mode always restarts at manual
after a download regardless of the defined restart value. The restart of
the IVP is described below.
The restart value of the IVP depends on whether the corresponding point
was previously configured. If the point was not previously configured
and restart from last value is specified, the IVP is set to 0%, and if a
predefined restart IVP value is specified, that value is used.
If the point was previously configured, then the point holds the last value
prior to download even if a predefined restart value is specified. When
the increase open/close setting of the point is changed, the
communicated IVP value is inverted (refer to the following example).
Example - The point was originally increase open, IVP was 75% and the
current output was 16 mA. The point was changed to increase close.
The new IVP value is 25% and the current output remains at 16 mA.
3.3.3.4.2 Set Point Tracking
Set point tracking is an optional way for a PCA to obtain its set point. The
set point can be configured to track the process variable when the point
is in DDC or manual mode. If set point tracking in DDC mode is enabled
and the point is in DDC mode, then the set point is set equal to the
process variable value. If set point tracking in manual mode is enabled
and the point is in manual mode, then the set point is once again set
equal to the process variable value.
Set point tracking in manual mode is available for all PCAs except the
bias and gain and the high/low signal selector, which effectively performs
set point tracking all of the time. Likewise, set point tracking in DDC
mode is available only if DDC is a valid mode for the point's configured
station type.

The diagrams on the following pages illustrate the processing of the
various combinations of PCAs and station types.
