2. PID: Object Properties

Open an Object Properties dialog box for an object with an PID class ID.

The tabs in the Object dialog box are:

  • PID General.
  • PID HMI Properties.

PID General

The Object dialog box General tab provides data that precisely identifies the PID object.

Note: The Description field is the only Read/Write field on the General tab.

PID HMI Properties

Each PPS function block has HMI properties.

When an Object dialog box is opened for a selected object, the values for these properties:

  • Can be defined in the Object dialog box.
  • Will display on the faceplate when it is first opened and as long as they are not changed.
  • (Some properties) May ??be changed by faceplate users who have a role with the required level.

The HMI properties required for the PID block are as follows.

HMI Properties Description Data Type Restrictions
Label Object description. String
OP Precision Number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point. Integer 7 Digits
PV and SP Precision Number of digits displayed to the right of the decimal point. Integer 7 Digits
Resource CIMPLICITY resource. String 16 Characters or less
OP Engineering Units Output Variable Engineering units. String ??8 Characters or less
PV Engineering Units Process Variable Engineering units. String 8 Characters or less
Faceplate OP PB Rate The rate at which the output increments/decrements in Manual Mode when a mouse clicks on the Adjust OP buttons. REAL Greater than or equal to 0.0
Faceplate SP PB Rate The rate at which the setpoint increments/decrements in Local Mode when a mouse clicks on the Adjust SP buttons. REAL Greater than or equal to 0.0
Animation Criterion The percentage of the full range of OP that must be exceeded by OP to Indicate that the Valve/Damper is open. Real Greater than or equal to 0.0
