Design and principle of operation

3 Design and principle of oper-ation

The electropneumatic positioner is mounted on pneumatic control valves and is used to assign the valve position (controlled vari-able x)tothecontrolsignal(referencevari-able w).Thepositionercomparestheelectriccontrol signal of a control system to the travel or opening angle of the control valve and is-suesasignalpressure(outputvariable y)forthe pneumatic actuator.The positioner consists of a travel sensor sys-tem (2) proportional to resistance, an analog i/p converter (6) with a downstream air ca-pacitybooster(7)andtheelectronicswithmicrocontroller (5).Thepositionerisfittedwiththreebinarycon-tacts as standard: A fault alarm output indi-cates a fault to the control room and two configurablesoftwarelimitcontactsareusedto indicate the end positions of the valve.Thevalveposition(x)istransmittedasaei-theranangleofrotationortraveltothepick-up lever and to the travel sensor (2) and sup-plied to an analog PD controller. An A/D converter (4) transmits the position of the valve to the microcontroller (5). The PD con-troller (3) compares this actual position to the 4to20 mADCcontrolsignal(referencevariable) after it has been converted by the A/D converter (4). In case of a set point de-viation, the activation of the i/p converter (6) is changed so that the actuator of the control valve(1)ispressurizedorventedaccording-lyoverthedownstreambooster(7).This

causes the valve plug to move to the position determined by the reference variable (w).Thesupplyairissuppliedtothebooster(7)andthepressureregulator(8).Anintermedi-ateflowregulator(9)withfixedsettingsisused to purge the positioner and, at the sametime,guaranteestrouble-freeoperationof the booster. The output signal pressure supplied by the booster can be limited by software.Bothpressuresensors(23and24)monitors the supply pressure ps and the sig-nal pressure pout.ThevolumerestrictionQ(10)isusedtoopti-mizethepositioner.

The positioner is suitable for the following types of attachment using the corresponding accessories: − DirectattachmenttoSAMSONType 3277Actuator:section 4.1

− Attachment to actuators according to IEC 60534-6(NAMUR):section 4.2

− AttachmentaccordingtoVDI/VDE 3847:section 4.3

3.1 Safety function (SIL)The safety function is based on the shutdown of the i/p converter (6). This causes the pneumatic actuator to be vented and the valvetomovetoitsfail-safeposition.

Monitoring of the input signalThe i/p converter is switched off when the input signal of the positioner at terminals +11/–12fallsbelow3.8 mAor4.4 mAde-pending on the positioner version (a signal rangeof4to20 mAisrequired).SeeFig. 20onpage 51.

Monitoring the voltage supply(version with forced venting and solenoid valveThe i/p converter and the solenoid valve (when installed) are shut down whenever the voltageatterminals+81/–82fallsbelow12 V(aninputvoltageof24 VDCisre-quired).SeeFig. 20onpage 51.

Whenthei/pconverterisswitchedoffaspart of the monitoring of the input signal or thevoltagesupply,thefail-safepositionS is activated and is indicated on the positioner display.If required, the user can check the safety function using the software.Details on EXPERTplus Valve Diagnostics in the Operating Instructions u EB 8389-1 EN.

3.2 Valve diagnosticsThe EXPERTplus valve diagnostics are inte-grated into the positioner. They provide in-formation on the control valve and generate status messages, which allow faults to be pinpointedquickly.Details on EXPERTplus Valve Diagnostics in the Operating Instructions u EB 8389-1 EN.

3.3 CommunicationThe positioner is equipped with an interface for HART® protocol (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) for communication pur-poses. Data are transmitted in a superim-posedfrequency(FSK=FrequencyShiftKey-ing)ontheexistingsignalloopforthe4to20 mAreferencevariable.Either a HART® capable handheld communi-catororacomputerwithFSKmodemcanbeused to establish communication and oper-ate the positioner.

Solenoid valveIf the operating voltage for the solenoid valve(12)fallsbelow12 V,thesupplypres-sure for the booster is vented to the atmo-sphere. As a result, the actuator is vented andthecontrolvalvemovestothefail-safeposition. In manual mode, the manual set point is reset to 0 %. A different manual set point must entered again.

Analog position transmitterThepositiontransmitter(13)isatwo-wiretransmitter and issues the travel sensor signal asa4to20 mAsignalprocessedbythemi-crocontroller. Since this signal is issued inde-pendent of the positioner’s input signal, the momentary travel/angle of rotation is con-trolledinreal-time.Additionally,thepositiontransmitter allows positioner faults to be indi-

FE: The air purging function is automatically provided.

50 EB 8384-6 EN


Attachment according to IEC 60534-6 (NAMUR rib or attachment to rod-type yokes) and to rotary actuatorsThe positioner requires an additional port for theexhaustairthatcanbeconnectedoverpiping. An adapter available as an accesso-ry is used for this purpose:

Threaded bushing(M20 x 1.5)

G ¼¼ NPT

0310-26190310-2550

Note:The adapter uses one of the M20 x 1.5 connections in the hous-ing which means only one cable gland can be installed.

Should other valve accessories be used which vent the actuator (e.g. solenoid valve, volumebooster,quickexhaustvalve),thisex-haust air must also be included in the purg-ing function. The connection over the adapt-er at the positioner must be protected with a checkvalve(e.g.checkvalveG ¼,orderno.8502-0597)mountedinthepiping.Other-wise the pressure in the positioner housing would rise above the ambient pressure and damagethepositionerwhentheexhaustingcomponents respond suddenly.

Standard bus (multidrop):In the standard bus (multidrop) mode, the positioner follows the analog current signal (reference variable) in the same manner as forpoint-to-pointcommunication.Thisoper-atingmodeis,forexample,suitableforsplit-range operation of positioners (series con-nection).The bus address/polling address has to be within a range of 1 to 15.

Note:Communication errors may occur when the process controller/control station output is not HART-compati-ble. For adaptation, the Z box (order no. 1170-2374) can be installed be-tween output and communication in-terface. At the Z box a voltage of ap-prox. 330 mV is released (corre-sponds to 16.5 Ω at 20 mA).Alternatively, a 250 Ω resistor can be connected in series and a 22 μF capacitor can be connected in paral-lel to the analog output.The following must be observed: − The load for the controller output will increase as a result. − The insertion of a capacitor is not permissible for intrinsically safe cir-cuits (Ex ia), energy-limited circuits (Ex nL) and for the type of protec-tion Ex nA.

WARNING!Risk of injury due to the actuator stem extending or retracting!Before exchanging the lever or changing the pin position, disconnect the supply air and electrical auxiliary power.

7.6 Initialization

NOTICEThe process is disturbed by the move-ment of the actuator stem.Do not initialize the positioner while the process is running; only perform an initialization during start-up with the shut-off valves closed.A signal pressure above the maximum permissible limit will damage the valve.Check the maximum permissible sig-nal pressure of the control valve be-fore starting initialization. If neces-sary, limit the signal pressure by con-necting an upstream pressure reduc-ing valve.

Malfunction due to changed mount-ing or installation circumstances!Reset the positioner to its default set-tings and re-initialize it after the posi-tioner has been mounted on to anoth-er actuator or its mounting location has been changed.

Note:When the write protection is acti-vated, initialization cannot be started.

Code list

Note:The error codes listed in following appear in the display corresponding to their status classification set over the condensed state (Maintenance required/Maintenance de-manded: , Out of specification: blinking, Failure: ). If “No message” is as-signed to the error code as the status classification, the error is not included in the condensed state.A status classification is assigned to every error code in the default setting. The status classification of error codes can also be changed as required using an operator soft-ware (e.g. TROVIS-VIEW).
