APM.CTRL_TIME - APMonitor Option

Global Options | Local Options
 Type: Floating Point, Input or Output (with CSV read)
 Default Value: 60
 Description: Time for each step in the control horizon

CTRL_TIME is the cycle time of the controller for real-time applications. The clock time trigger for initiating successive controller solutions should be synchronized with CTRL_TIME to avoid dynamic mismatch between the internal simulation time and the process measurements. When CSV_READ is on and the horizon time points are specified from the data file, the CTRL_TIME and PRED_TIME are set equal to the time increment of the first time step.
