Type 8792, 8793 Auxiliary functions 26.2.1. C HARACT – Select the transfer characteristic between input signal (position set-point value) and stroke Characteristic (customer-specific characteristic) Use this auxiliary function to select a transfer characteristic with reference to set-point value (nominal position, CMD) and valve stroke (POS) for correction of the flow-rate or operating characteristic.
Page 103
For this reason it is occasionally necessary to correct the course of the operating characteristic in a suitable way. For this purpose the Type 8792/8793 features a transfer element which implements different characteristics. These are used to correct the operating characteristic.

Type.8793: The SPLTRNG auxiliary function can only be selected when operating as a positioner. P.CONTROL = not activated. Use this auxiliary function to limit the position set-point value range of the Type 8792/8793 by specifying a minimum and a maximum value.
Type 8792, 8793 Auxiliary functions 26.2.6. X .LIMIT – Limits the mechanical stroke range This auxiliary function limits the (physical) stroke to specified % values (minimum and maximum). In doing so, the stroke range of the limited stroke is set equal to 100 %. If the limited stroke range is left during operation, negative POS values or POS values greater than 100 % are indicated.
Type 8792, 8793 Auxiliary functions 26.2.7. X .TIME – Limiting the control speed Use this auxiliary function to specify the opening and closing times for the entire stroke and limit the control speeds. When the X.TUNE function is running, the minimum opening and closing time for the entire stroke is auto- matically entered for Open and Close.
(see Auxiliary function “26.2.6. X.LIMIT – Limits the mechanical stroke range” ). This function causes the controller to respond only from a specific control difference; as a result the solenoid valves in the Type 8792/8793 and the pneumatic actuator are protected. english...
