Analog Dynamo
Combination Bar Graph
Control Loop (PID) Analog Input (AI)
The combination bar graph presents PID and AI information graphically,

relative to the defined high and low scale defined in the dynamo.
The combination bar graph indicates the relative values of PV, SP, SP_WRK,
and alarm limits (when the corresponding alarm is enabled), based on the
scaled range.
12 Telephone: (201) 267-8670
Analog Dynamo – Bar Graph
Comparison of PV and SP - Shape recognition is used to aid detection. When PV is equal to SP, the PV bar touches the
perpendicular SP bar, forming a 'T'. If the PV is above SP, a 't' is shown. Knowing these shapes allows the operator scan a display
and quickly know how PV and SP compare.
Comparison of PV and SP to SP_WRK - When SP_WRK is different from SP, it is shown on the bar graph. This allows operators to
recognize the situation where PV is not equal to SP because SP_WRK is active and the currently displayed SP value is not being
used by the module.
PV and SP relative range - Operators are shown PV and SP are at the appropriate place in range. By default, the full 0 - 100%
PV_Scale (OUT_SCALE for AI) range is shown in the graph. For process values such as temperature or pH where operation is
required within a small percentage of the overall range, the bar graph can be defined with a partial range.
PV and SP value relative to alarm limits - HI,

HIHI, LO and LOLO Alarm limits are shown
on the bar graph. If the PV or SP is near an
alarm limit, the operator can determine this
from the combination bar graph. The
indication of these alarm locations is shown
subtly (such as in grays), providing alarm
limit information without being distracting
or creating excessive visual clutter.

Control Loop Operation - Cascade
CAS link line turns solid

when loop is in CAS mode.
Master or Primary
Slave or Secondary
A cascade control scheme involves two control loops

that use two measurement signals to control one
primary variable. The output of the primary (master)
controller determines the setpoint for the secondary
(slave) controller. The output of the secondary
controller is used to adjust the control variable.
Generally, the secondary controller changes quickly
while the primary controller changes slowly.

Alarm Banner
Alarms are shown in the alarm banner in priority order, with the most recent, highest priority alarm on
the left. The Alarm Banner is reserved for the highest priority alarms. The importance of an alarm is
determined by the following criteria:
• Unacknowledged alarms are more important than acknowledged alarms.

• For alarms with equal acknowledgement status, the priority (CRITICAL, WARNING, and ADVISORY)
determines the importance. CRITICAL is the most important and ADVISORY is the least important.
• For alarms with equal acknowledgement status and equal status, the controller uses the timestamp
to determine the importance. The most recent alarms are the most important.
