    Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software 15.2 Installing TROVIS-VIEW software 1. Run setup.exe to install the program. Installing the program from the downloaded ZIP file: Download and unzip the ZIP file on your system before starting the installation. Installing the program from a CD-ROM: Once inserted, the CD-ROM starts the installation program automatically, depending on the configuration of the operating system.

    Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software 15.3 Starting TROVIS-VIEW and performing basic settings You can perform the settings in TROVIS-VIEW either when the positioner is connected (on- line) to the computer or not connected (offline). Note: When the positioner is not connected, the default settings appear on the operator in- terface or, alternatively, a stored TROVIS-VIEW file (*.tro) can be loaded and overwritten by selecting Open in the File menu.
  • Page 103 5. Set the communications port for data communication. Proceed as follows: Connect the port (RS-232 or USB) of the computer using the corresponding adapter to the SAMSON SSP interface of the positioner. Select Communications in Options menu to open the server settings window. Click Server settings button.

  • Page 104: Data Transmission

    Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software Converting the software version The TROVIS-VIEW software version must match the firmware of the positioner. On exchanging data between the positioner and TROVIS-VIEW, the software automatically checks whether the versions are compatible and, if necessary, converts the data. If you want to adapt the firmware version without exchanging any data, proceed as follows: 1.

    Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software Operational data graphs (Trend Viewer) In online mode, process data (positioning value TRD, actual valve position and set point deviation [e]) are plotted in a graph over time. Select Trend Viewer in the View menu. You can modify the graphs, for example, by adding data points that should be recorded, or even remove data points.

  • Page 108: Initializing The Positioner

    Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software 15.5 Initializing the positioner Initializing the positioner is only possible in TROVIS-VIEW when the positioner has been at- tached properly to the control valve and has been connected (see sections 4 and 5). The positioner must be connected to the computer over the serial interface adapter. NOTICE During the initialization, the control valve moves through its entire travel/angle of rotation range.

  • Page 110: Status Classification

    Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software 15.6 Status classification Messages are classified in the positioner with a status when an error occurs. States include “Maintenance alarm“, “Maintenance required“, “Maintenance demanded “, “Out of specifi- cation“ and “No message“. Maintenance alarm The positioner cannot perform its control task due to a functional fault in the device or in one of its peripherals or an initialization has not yet been successfully completed.
  • Page 111 Settings in TROVIS-VIEW software To provide a better overview, the classified messages are summarized in a condensed state which is made up from a summary of all classified positioner messages.
