CONTROL SETUP (conti nued)

LOOP VAR—Pressure controllers are

defaulted to pressure.
Pressure means that the controller is

“closing the loop” on the pressure. This

means that when you give the controller

a set-point, the controller compares

that set-point to the measured pressure

and adjusts the valve to try to make the

pressure and the set-point match. For the

pressure, the input signal (e.g. 0-5 Vdc)

corresponds to the full-scale pressure for

the device.
