Control Variable Percent (CVP)

Output Parameter Address Data Range Type User Program


Descriptions Format Access
CVP - Control Variable Percent PD10:0.CVP word (INT) 0…100 control status read

CVP (Control Variable Percent) displays the control variable as a percentage. The
range is 0…100%.

If the PD10:0/AM bit is off (automatic mode), CVP tracks the control variable
(CV) output being calculated by the PID equation.

If the PD10:0/AM bit is on (manual mode), CVP tracks the value that can be
manipulated in the Control Variable (CV) data word.

The only way for a programmer to have control of the PID CV is to place the PID
instruction in manual mode and write to the CV word via the control program or
programming software. If no change is made to CV while in manual mode, the
CVP will display the last value calculated by the PID equation.
