…Appendix D PID control
…Control action
Dual-acting control
• Two control outputs (Base Output and Acid Output)
• P or P+I (Base Controller)
• Base Output increases as Process Value deviates below
Base Setpoint
• Base Output is zero if Process Value is greater than
Base Setpoint
• Base proportional band is positioned below Base setpoint
• P or P + I (Acid Controller)
• Acid Output increases as Process Value deviates above
Acid Setpoint
• Acid Output is zero if Process Value is less than Acid Setpoint
• Acid proportional band is positioned above Acid Setpoint

Manual Reset (proportional band offset)
A Manual Reset Reverse or Direct-acting
controllers when the integral term is disabled (i.e., Control Type
is configured for P, or P+D).
When the process variable is equal to the control setpoint, the
output value is equal to the Manual Reset
changes the position of the proportional band.
