Loop Open Error
Open Loop Detect is active
and the process value did
not deviate by a user-select-
ed value in a user specified
period with PID power at
100%.

Loop Reversed Error
Open Loop Detect is active
and the process value is
headed in the wrong direc-
tion when the output is
activated based on devia-
tion value and user-selected
value.
