## Automatic Process Control Operation ## Automatic Process Control Operation
Automatic process control provides various modes to autonomously control your reactor(s). On top of the utility that provides, safety checks are performed both on a facility level and on a unit level to address higher priority alarms and negative facility conditions (high induction matrix charge, for example).
The first part of this is determining the capabilities of all reactors. By default, all the reactors have a limit of their max burn rate. This can be lowered on a per-reactor basis to a limit of the operator's choosing. These settings (and the other control settings) are saved with the SAVE button or by starting auto control mode.
The control mode, limits, and assignment states of reactor units cannot be changed while automatic control mode is active.

When using monitored max burn and combined max burn, burn rate setpoints are ramped on reactors with non-zero allocations. Ramping brings the reactor up to the commanded burn rate by increasing the commanded rate by 5.0 mB/s. This same ramping is used at the start of generation rate control mode in order to bring the system up to the estimated target based on calculations using the number of turbine blades (this becomes the [feed-forward of that control loop](https://github.com/MikaylaFischler/cc-mek-scada/wiki/Process-Control-Closed-Loop-Controller#generation-rate-pid-w-feed-forward-controller)).

### Monitored Max Burn ### Monitored Max Burn
Monitored max burn is the simplest of the four modes. This mainly provides the benefit of applying all the automatic SCRAM safety checks while running the reactors as simple as possible. Ramping is performed to bring the reactors up to their configured limit, then they are left running full at that limit. If a reactor is lost (SCRAMs, disconnects, etc) then is RESET (after reconnecting if applicable), it will perform ramping again to bring it up to its limit.

### Charge Level ### Charge Level
Charge level mode attempts to maintain a level of charge in the induction matrix by varying the combined burn rate of assigned reactors. This utilizes a PD controller, covered in more detail by the page on the [closed loop controllers](https://github.com/MikaylaFischler/cc-mek-scada/wiki/Process-Control-Closed-Loop-Controller#charge-level-pd-controller). No explicit ramping is performed in this mode; the slow rate change is instead handled by the gains of the control loop.
