the IVP, they do provide the ability to establish a reference point for the
process (set point) and the ability to determine how the process variable
compares to that reference point for alarming purposes.
The modes of operation which are valid for the manual loader PCA,
manual (MAN) and Direct Digital Control (DDC), determine who is
allowed to change the IVP value. While in manual mode, the point
provides an operator with control of the IVP value. A host computer is
allowed to change the IVP value when the point is in DDC mode. The
operator is allowed to change the set point in either mode unless the set
point has been configured to track the process variable while in DDC
mode.
3.3.1.2 Bias & Gain
The Bias and Gain algorithm performs a linear transformation on the
process variable of the DCP to convert it to IVP. The algorithm adds the
bias value of the DCP to the process variable, and then multiplies the
result by the configured gain value. Both the bias value and the gain
value are tunable. Even though it has no effect on the IVP of the point, an
adjustable set point value is available as a reference value to be used for
alarms.
The two types of control action that are available for the Bias & Gain PCA
are Direct and Reverse. Direct action causes the IVP of the point to
increase if the PV increases. Reverse action causes the IVP to decrease
if the PV increases. The effects of bias and gain on the PV are shown in
Figure NO TAG for both direct and reverse control action.
It should be noted that the bias value and gain value are tuned
independently of the valve action. For example, two parallel valves in a
split range operation could both be direct acting even though one valve
might be a fail open" type and the other one a fail closed" type.
The following equations describe the Bias and Gain algorithm:
Direct Action:
Reverse Action:
IVPĂ +Ă GAINĂ @Ă(PV ) LOOP BIAS) ) TBIAS
IVPĂ +Ă 100 * GAINĂ @Ă(PV ) LOOP BIAS) ) TBIAS
Note that TBIAS is zero if transfer bias ramping is not enabled. Refer to
section NO TAG on page NO TAG.
