Proportional Integral Derivative Instruction 9-17
Setpoint Minimum Scaled (SMIN)
If the SPV is read in engineering units, then the SMIN (Setpoint Minimum)
parameter corresponds to the value of the setpoint in engineering units when
the control input is at its minimum value.

TIP
SMIN - SMAX scaling allows you to work in engineering
units. The deadband, error, and SPV are also displayed in
engineering units. The process variable, PV, must be within
the range of 0 to 16383. Use of SMIN - SMAX does not
minimize PID PV resolution.
