3.2.1 Working of the positioner as position controller (Fig. 3.6)
The actual position (POS) is measured by the displacement measuring system. This position value is compared to the normalized
position setpoint signal (CMD). In cases of difference (Xd1), a voltage pulse-width modulation signal is sent as control signal.
With single-acting actuators, a positive error exists and pulses are sent from output B
error exists, and pulses are sent from output E
of the actuator and the setpoint is reduced 0. Z1 represents a disturbance variable.
