In addition to the mode option the SPLLAG effects the behaviour of the
control action on setpoint changes.
If SPLLAG is 1.0 then the P action will be 100% on error (so same action on
PV and SP). 
If SPLLAG is 0.0 then the P action will be only on PV changes so, no P
action on setpoint changes.
This allows for a tight tuning while preventing large MV moves in case of
operator setpoint changes.
Example for use: temperature controls on reactor which manipulate quench
flow; these need to respond fast on temperature fluctuations (and therefore
have a relative low P value (high gain) but should not overshoot when the
operator changes the setpoint.
A typical setting for SPLLAG would be 0.2 wich means that the P action on
setpoint changes is multiplied by 0.2 (so if PBAND would be 100 it would
result in a PBAND of 500 for setpoint changes but would remain 100 for PV
changes).

So; SPLLAG = 1.0 -> P on Error,
SPLLAG = 0.0 -> P on PV only.

PITAU works well on control loop with pure deadtime and can be benifitial if
you have problems with 'sticky' valves. (output increases, nothing happens
for a while until friction is overcome and of it goes; sort of deadtime)
This is a workaround though as PITAU will be slow on setpoint changes!

Hey List,

Noob here. What are the available PID equations on Foxboro? I've heard =
of P on Error and P on PV, does this refer to these equations? Why do we =
need each of these different equations and on what circumstances do we =
choose to use them?

Thank you and best regards. J
