3.3.3.1.2 Set Point Limiting
The set point limiting function is used to restrict the upper and lower
limits of a DCP's set point, and prevent that set point from moving
outside of the range established by a configured high and low set point
limit. If a new set point is entered for the DCP, and that value exceeds
the set point high limit, then the set point is set to that limit, and the SP
High (SPHI) alarm bit is set to a value of 1. If the new set point is less
than the set point low limit, then the set point is set equal to that limit,
and the SP Low (SPLO) alarm bit is set to 1. The SPHI and SPLO alarm
bits allow for operator indication at the console that either high or low set
point limiting has occurred. Set point limiting is available on all PCAs
except the high/low signal selector.
3.3.3.1.3 Set Point Velocity Limiting
All Primary Control Algorithms except Manual Loader, Signal Selector,
and Bias and Gain support a feature called SP Velocity Limiting". This
configuration choice enables a tuning parameter which is then used to
limit the maximum rate of change of the SP value used by the PCA,
internally. Effectively, this limits the allowable change that the operator
can make to the operating point of the process when in the Automatic
control mode.
Note that the SP Velocity Limiting will limit the internal SP value, which is
not displayed to the operator. The user simply selects the desired SP,
and the PCA then limits the results of the operator change accordingly.
Since the SP Velocity Limiting only limits the internal SP value used by
the PCA, the FST function SPLD (Set Point Load) will load the SP value
selected by the operator, and the SVA output of the SPLD FST function
will not reflect the velocity limited SP used by the PCA.
3.3.3.1.4 Transfer Bias Ramping
Bumpless transfers from the manual mode to the automatic mode on
bias & gain and P/PD PCAs are achieved by either an internal transfer
bias or a backward calculated DCP bias. Transfer bias ramping allows
the normal DCP bias value to be maintained during a mode transfer. If it
is not enabled, the normal DCP bias value is changed during the mode
transfer and must be reset after the transfer has been completed.
When transfer bias ramping is enabled, the internal transfer bias value is
back calculated to achieve a bumpless mode transfer. For example, if
the IVP was 60% while the DCP was in manual mode, and the IVP should
be 50% after the switch to automatic mode, the transfer bias value will be
set to 10%.
