By enabling set point tracking in a controller you make the set point of the controller track it's ( or it's downstream block's in cascade) Process value.

This is to enable a bumpless transfer when the controller is switched to Auto from Manual. Say, the controller is in manual mode and operator has entered X value to output and driven PV to Z. And Set point before switching to Manual mode was Y. Now when operator again puts the loop in auto, if the setpoint is Y , the loop will try to maintain that and there are chances that porcess may experience bump in doing that. So to avoid this the setpoint is made to follow PV (Z) so when the loop is again put to Auto SP=PV=Z. so no change in output. Bumpless transfer from MAN to AUTO.

This is achieved by connecting BCAL_OUT of the same block ( or it;s downstream block) to BCAK_IN to the same block ( or it's Upstream block).

What is the definition of closed loop control system?

A closed loop control system is a set of mechanical or electronic devices that automatically regulates a process variable to a desired state or set point without human interaction. Closed loop control systems contrast with open loop control systems, which require manual input.


Atc control by deh for turbine?

yes ,when my set point and turbine inlet pr. is match,then no need to varry the load as well as speed,so you can hold the load


What is a derivative control?

Derivative control applied in control engineering, usually for the operation of control valves and its importance came during valve tuning. Derivative control is popularly known as anticipatory control. ( controller starts its control action, by anticipating the trend of present value (PV) of parameter.) Derivative control anticipates parameter values and and it will take control action to control the parameter with in set point. Eg: In a water heating system, water temperature is controlled by controlling steam valve opening. Let set point for water is 80°C, and derivative control will check the status of water temperature and if it is slowly increasing range ( may be due to some load change), controller will starts to control temperature by slowly closing steam valve. ( and vice versa) Actually this type control action just observe at control parameter values and initiates control action.

How do you set the tracking device to the lowing point in club penguin?

First you have to talk to Rory at the mine and fix the drain pipe. Then you weld the mining cart back together. Finally, put the tracking device into the mine cart and push it into the mine shaft.


Process dynamics control?

the name itself suggest that dynamics means motion or flow the variables which are responsible for motion includes like temperature ,pressure ,viscosity ,flowrate etc., these variables are at any time with in our control that means to bring the system to stable positions can be achieved by monitoring the parameters which effects the system that in term causes the system to move away from the set point condition there plays a vital role of process dynamics control.
