James, We are using Supervisory Modes for DMC controllers, with DMC Bridge, = which I recommend you to use. All you have to do is set the SUPOPT to Y = in order to enable the functionality in the blocks. Then, with the = button "SSC E/D" of the detail display (or to a link to the SE) you = enable it. Pay attention to the SUPGRP: you have to put the same group = for all the blocks in the same DMC controller in order to enable/disable = them together. Also pay attention to the FLBOPT: you specify with this = the "fallback mode" (ie, local, remote, manual, auto) of the PIDA when = the DMC turns off. Finally, you only need the SUPOPT on the manipulated = variables. Hope this helps.

We are thinking about enabling this option for ASPEN Tech to write =3D Setpoints but don't understand some of the documentation. Should I be able to just set the SUP_OPT=3D3D1 and Toggle the .SE parameter, thus enabling ASPEN to write into SUP_IN. = =3D ???? Any knowledge in the area would be greatly appreciated.
