5.2 Control functions
■ SP ramp
The SP ramp function limits the amount of change of the SP to a set
rate. When this function is enabled and the amount of change exceeds
the set rate, a space that limits the SP is created as shown in the
diagram below
During SP ramp, control takes place not by changing the SP, but
rather by using a value that is limited by the set rate of change (this is
called the ramp SP).
On the E5AR/ER, an "SP ramp rise value" and an "SP ramp fall value"
can be set separately.
The rate of change during SP ramp is set in "SP ramp rise value", "SP
ramp fall value", and "SP ramp time unit".
The initial settings for "SP ramp rise value" and "SP ramp fall value"
are "0", which means that SP ramp is disabled.
"EU/sec", "EU/min" or "EU/hour" can be selected for "SP ramp time
unit". The initial setting is "EU/min".
The ramp SP can be viewed using "Set point during SP ramp".
● Operation at
startup (SP ramp)
When the power is turned on (including operation startup), the PV is
regarded as the pre-change SP.
SP ramp operation at startup depends on the relation between the PV
and SP as follows:
