Single Loop with Feedforward (Templates 9 and 10)
These templates provide three-term PID control with feedforward. The disturbance variable is
weighted by the feedforward gain (FFGn) and the feedforward bias (FFbS) values and added to the
controller output value.

With the Ramping Set Point function enabled (see Section 3.3, Set Points/ Ramp Rate), the
bargraph shows the actual (ramping) set point value and the digital display shows the target set point
value.
