The Rxy parameters are OM objects that contain 3 floating point values. Rxy[0] - High scale - HSCxy Rxy[1] - Low scale - LSCxy Rxy[2] - Change Delta - DELTxy The DM/FV is smart enough to set the big (double arrow) and small = (single arrow) ramp buttons to a percentage of the span IF the Rxy parameter is specified on the tag name, e.g.,=20 C:B.SPT|RI1 Might be used for a PIDA block setpoint ramp. If the Rxy parameter is not specified, 0-100 is assumed and the RAMP = buttons will use a percentage of that span. Does this help?

In version 6.1 = or later, what happen if I configure the ramp action like? =20 BOILER:PRESSURE.SPT , with out |RI1 =20 In my case, the control range parameter is 5.0 and when I pick the = ramp, the variable moves 0,5 from the last value. Does anybody know why? =20 Thanks in advance, =20 =20 HH#: HH276 =20 IA INFO: jhp080 File: DISPLAY CFG Release: ALL Date: May 14, 1991 =20 Subject: Configure Ramp Key to a Value Source: TAC =20 =20 =20 If a ramp action is configured directly to a value rather than PICK1, a range must be specified or the ramping results will be unpredictable. For example, if the ramp is connected to a setpoint, BOILER:PRESSURE.SPT, with a range of 0 to 3600 psi, configure the ramp action (in the Display Configurator) to: =20 BOILER:PRESSURE.SPT|RI1 =20 or =20 BOILER:PRESSURE.SPT|R=3D0,3600 =20 =20 If a ramp button were to be connected to an output, such as PROCESS:FLOW.OUT, with a range of 0 to 100 percent, configure the ramp button (in the Display Configurator) to: =20 PROCESS:FLOW.OUT|RO1 =20 or =20 PROCESS:FLOW.OUT|R=3D0,100 =20 =20 If the range is not specified, then the ramp has no way to calculate the increments, and continuous ramping can occur. =20 =20 =20 =20 Ignacio Queirolo Olivera Control Avanzado Complejo Industrial Ensenada Repsol YPF - Qu=EDmica Tel.: 54 221 429-8400 ext. 26481 Fax: 54 221 429-8400 ext. 26209 iqueiroloo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:iqueiroloo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>=20 =20 AVISO LEGAL: Esta informaci=F3n es privada y confidencial y est=E1 dirigida = =FAnicamente a su destinatario.
