CEMP-E
TI 810-11
30 November 1998
Standard features will allow the replacement of any controller by a spare not necessarily of the same
manufacturer.
(3) The single-loop digital controller will have the following inputs and outputs:
(a) A process variable analog input (PV).
(b) A remote setpoint analog input for control point adjustment (CPA).
(c) An analog output (OUT).
(d) A process variable actuated contact closure output (PV contact).
(e) A contact output that responds to the difference between PV and CPA analog inputs (DEV
contact).
(f) An analog output which is identical to the process variable input (PV Retransmission).
(4) Some controller features are configurable by manual input, and others are selectable by
setting switches or jumper wires. The configuration methods vary with the specific manufacturer and
model. The controller will have the selection of features for its inputs and outputs as shown in table 2-1.
