Question Why does my Setpoint Value change in my PID loop when I go from Manual to Auto from the PID view or ladder?
Answer You are probably in Bumpless Transfer Mode 1. In this mode, the Setpoint Value is forced to the Process Value on a manual to auto transition. You should be using Bumpless Transfer Mode 2 if you do not want this to occur. This is covered in the Bumpless Transfer section of the PID chapter in your User Manual.
