  • Page 17: Function Of The Position Control

    Type 8791 Function Function of the position control The position sensor records the current position (POS) of the pneumatic actuator. The positioner compares this actual position value with the set-point value (CMD) which is a standard signal. If there is a control difference (Xd1), the actuator is aerated and deaerated via the control system. In this way the position of the actuator is changed until control difference is 0. Z1 represents a disturbance variable.

  • Page 35: Charact

    Type 8791 Functions 10.1.3 CHARACT - Transfer characteristic between input signal (position set-point value) and stroke Characteristic (customer-specific characteristic) This function can be used to activate a transfer characteristic with respect to set-point value (set-point position) and valve stroke for correction of the flow or operating characteristic. The transfer characteristic can be changed via the communications software only. Factory settings: DIP switch 3 set to OFF (linear)
  • Page 36 Type 8791 Functions The flow characteristic k = f(s) indicates the flow-rate of a valve, expressed by the value k as a function of the stroke s of the actuator spindle. It is determined by the design of the valve seat and the seat seal. In general two types of flow characteristics are implemented, the linear and the equal percentage. In the case of linear characteristics, equal k value changes dk are assigned to equal stroke changes ds.
  • Page 37: Input

    Type 8791 Functions Entering the freely programmable characteristic The characteristic is defined by 21 nodes distributed uniformly over the position set-point values ranging from 0 – 100%. They are spaced at intervals of 5%. A freely selectable stroke (adjustment range 0 – 100%) is assigned to each node. The difference between the stroke values of two adjacent nodes must not be greater than 20%. Example of a programmed characteristic Valve stroke [&] Unit signal [%] 90 100 4 – 20 mA 0 – 20 mA Figure 15: Example of a programmed characteristic 10.1.4 INPUT - Enter the input signal Under this menu option, enter the unit signal used for the set-point value.

    Type 8791 Functions 10.1.5 RESET - Reset to factory settings This function can be used to reset the positioner to the factory settings. 10.1.6 X.TUNE - Automatic adjustment of the positioner to the relevant operating conditions The X.TUNE function must be run for a function check of the positioner to adjust to specific local features. WARNING! While the X.TUNE function is running, the valve automatically moves from its current position.

    Type 8791 Functions 10.2 Additional functions The following additional functions can be configured and parameterized via the communications software: Function Description DIR.ACTUATOR Assignment of the aeration state of the actuator chamber to the actual position. SPLITRANGE Signal split range; input signal as % for which the valve runs through the entire stroke range. X.LIMIT Limit of the mechanical stroke range. X.TIME Limiting the control speed. X.CONTROL Parameterization of the positioner.
  • Page 40: Splitrange - Signal Split Range

    Type 8791 Functions 10.2.2 SPLITRANGE - Signal split range Minimum and maximum values of the input signal as a % for which the valve runs through the entire stroke range. Factory setting: Lower signal range split = 0 %; Upper signal range split = 100 % Lower value split range: I nput the minimum value of the input signal as a % Adjustment range: 0 – 75 % Upper value split range: I nput the maximum value of the input signal as a % Adjustment range: 25 – 100 % Use this function to limit the position set-point value range of the positioner by specifying a minimum and a maximum value. This makes it possible to divide a unit signal range that is used (4 – 20 mA, 0 – 20 mA) into...
  • Page 41: X.limit

    Type 8791 Functions 10.2.3 X.LIMIT - Limiting the mechanical stroke range This function limits the (physical) stroke to specified % values (lower and upper). 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 actual positions or actual positions greater than 100 % are shown. Factory setting: Lower position limit = 0 %, upper position limit = 100 % Adjustment ranges: Lower position limit: 0 – 50 % of the entire stroke Upper position limit: 50 – 100 % of the entire stroke The minimum distance between the upper and lower stroke limit is 50 %. Therefore if one value is entered with a minimum distance of < 50 % the other value is adjusted automatically. Limited Physical stroke (%) stroke (%) Unlimited stroke Limited stroke Set-point value [mA] (INPUT) Figure 18: X.LIMIT graph english...
  • Page 42: X.time

    Type 8791 Functions 10.2.4 X.TIME - Limiting the control speed Use this function to specify the opening and closing times for the entire stroke and thereby limit control speeds. When the X.TUNE function is running, the minimum opening and closing time for the entire stroke is automatically entered for Open and Close. Therefore, movement can be at maximum speed. Factory setting: values determined at the factory by the X.TUNE function If the control speed will be limited, values can be input for Open and Close which are between the minimum values determined by the X.TUNE and 60 seconds.
  • Page 43: X.control

    Type 8791 Functions 10.2.5 X.CONTROL - Parameterization of the positioner Use this function to set the parameters for the positioner (dead band and amplification factors (kp)). Deadband: Insensitivity range of the positioner Entry for the deadband as a % in reference to the scaled stroke range; i.e. X.LIMIT upper stroke limit - X.LIMIT lower stroke (see auxiliary function X.LIMIT). This function causes the controller to respond only beginning at a specific control difference. This function saves wear on the solenoid valves in the positioner and the pneumatic actuator.
  • Page 44: Signal Error

    Type 8791 Functions 10.2.7 SIGNAL ERROR - Configuration of signal level fault detection The SIGNAL ERROR function is used to detect a fault on the input signal. Fault detection Fault detection can be selected for a 4 – 20 mA signal only: Fault if input signal ≤ 3.5 mA (± 0.5 % of final value, hysteresis 0.5 % of final value) If 0 – 20 mA is selected, sensor break detection cannot be selected. A signal error is indicated on the device by the red LED for “setpoint error detection” ON.
