5-71
PV_SCALE Set the range and engineering units
to values that correspond to the op-
eration range. For the digital valve
controller, PV_SCALE [11] is
typically set between 0 and 100%.
BKCAL_OUT If you are using the CAS_IN [17]
connector wired from another block,
wire the BKCAL_OUT [25] attribute
to the other block’s BKCAL_IN [27]
attribute.
IO_OPTS Set the type of tracking and action
upon fault state.
SHED_OPT Set the action to be taken when the
set point or output are not updated
in a remote mode.
