The auto/manual bit can be set or cleared by instructions in your ladder
program. When off (0), it specifies automatic operation. When on (1), it
specifies manual operation. In automatic operation, the instruction
controls the control variable (CV). In manual operation, the user/control
program controls the CV. During tuning, set this bit to manual.
TIP
Output limiting is also applied when in manual.

Forward acting (E=PV-SP) causes the control variable to increase when
the process variable is greater than the setpoint.
Reverse acting (E=SP-PV) causes the control variable to decrease when
the process variable is greater than the setpoint.
