Ramp function block parameters

The following table lists the system parameters for the Ramp function block:

Table: Ramp function block system parameters
Parameter	Units	Description
COMPLETE	None	Indicates that ramp calculation is complete.
ENABLE	None	The discrete input value and status that activates ramp calculation. The discrete input value and status that enables/ disables the ramp state machine and may activate ramping or alarm calculations.
END_VALUE	EU of IN	The ramp endpoint input value and status.
IN	Determined by source	The analog input value and status that can be used as the ramp starting point.
OUT	EU of IN	The analog output value and status.
PAUSE	None	The discrete input value and status that stops ramp calculation. OUT and TIME_REMAIN are held at their last values.
RAMP_RATE	EU of IN per second	The increase or decrease rate of ramp calculation.
RAMP_TIME	Seconds	The time period for the output to ramp from IN to END_VALUE.
RAMP_TYPE	None	The variable used for ramp calculation (False [0] = RAMP_TIME, True [1] = RAMP_RATE).
TIME_REMAIN	Seconds	The time left until COMPLETE transitions to TRUE.
TRK_IN_D	None	Initiates the output tracking function (True [1] = active, False [0] = inactive).
