During Operation or when Power is applied to the Valve, Never remove the Drive Gear Cover on the top of the Actuator Assembly! WARNING – DO NOT REMOVE COVER DURING OPERATION OF VALVE, OR WHEN POWER IS APPLIED TO VALVE Under the cover, there are drive pulleys, and a pulley that can rotate when electrical power is applied to the system or when the potential spring energy is released. Since the actuator assembly is also under pressure from the springs that are internal to the actuator mechanism, there is pressure on the system that can release when power is removed from the system. Never attempt to clear a jammed or inoperative actuator by rotating the sprockets. This could lead to damage to the actuator, valve, motor and could cause bodily harm. Installation and Operation Manual 16 Revision E ...

Warning! ‐ Never remove cover when power to the system is on! Synergy Series Valve setup and operation with your current Control System Connecting to Durbin Synergy Series Motors: Durbin Industrial Valve offers the Synergy Series in an analog or digital configuration. If the valve is using digital/Ethernet communications, it is possible to connect to any and all of these motors using the local Ethernet connection at the panel. Alternatively, the user may connect to an individual valve by using the Micro USB port on the front of the motor. Installation and Operation Manual 17 Revision E ...
MICRO USB PORT The following screen shots will guide you through connecting to the Valve motor in either scenario. 1) Launch the SMI software from the User specific location (Startup menu, desktop, quick launch tray, etc.) 2) In the upper left corner of the application screen, you will see a tab labeled “Find Motors” Installation and Operation Manual 18 Revision E ...
Page 19
Your detected configurations may be different than shown here, depending on all devices and ports connected to the PLC or PC being used. Right click on either “Ethernet” or “USB” depending on which communication method you are currently using. For this example, I am using USB. ‐ You will see two options. ‐Select “Detect Motors on USB” by Left clicking. * (Note: Syntax will read “Detect Motors on Ethernet” if Ethernet communication was used instead of USB) Installation and Operation Manual 19 Revision E ...
Page 20
3) After SMI searches for your motors and finds one, you will see the motor listed under the corresponding connection type. Installation and Operation Manual 20 Revision E ...
Page 21
Note: Using USB type, you will only be able to communicate to one valve at a time, unless multiple USB connections are made. 4) If using Ethernet communication, SMI will find all valves on the local network. In order for this to work correctly, You must configure your IP address of your laptop to match that of the local network of the press. Below is a brief explanation of how to configure your computer’s IP address. If you need further help, please contact your local IT department. a. Search for “Network and Sharing Center” on your PC Installation and Operation Manual 21 Revision E ...

d. Left click the Properties box to bring up devices. You are going to change the Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) connection. Double click on this device. Installation and Operation Manual 23 Revision E ...
Page 24
e. Switch configuration from “Obtain an IP address automatically” to “Use the following IP address” Once this switch is made, you can set the PC’s IP address and Subnet mask to one that will work inside of the PLC’s local network. If you do not know this information, you must get it from the Electrical Engineers who know this information. Make sure that you set your last three digits high enough, as to not duplicate any of the valve’s IP addresses. Typically, this is set to 250. Installation and Operation Manual 24 Revision E ...
Page 25
With the PC now configured to talk to the PLC network, follow the instructions above in point 3 and 4 to connect to each valve on the local network. In this screen shot, only two valves were connected. Section 2: Polling the Motor Installation and Operation Manual 25 Revision E ...
Page 26
This section will discuss polling the motor to find out general information such as; Firmware revision, Motor Program, Error messages, current motion parameters, IP addresses, and motor status. The information found within these polling values can help the user trouble shoot any issues that may arise causing the valve to malfunction. For the following example, the motor will be connected to the PC via USB connection. However, the same steps and screens will be present if this were connected via Ethernet. 1) With the valve/motor connected to the SMI software (as described in section 1), double click the motor in which you want to poll. (By Double clicking, you launch the “Motor View” window) 2) As seen in the image above, once connected, the motor will not automatically poll. The user must click the “Poll” button in order for the software to begin communicating to the motor through polling. This command is located on the “Status” tab in the “Motor View” window. Installation and Operation Manual 26 Revision E ...
Page 27
3) Once the motor is polling, a lot of information can be seen in “real time” . The normal polling screen when all systems are working correctly should look like the above image. When motion is required, the user will see many of the values changing and some of the “red” dots enabled showing motion is in progress. This is normal. Error messages or fault codes such as “Motor is off”, “Over‐current”, “Excessive Postion error” or “Excessive temperature Fault” are a few. Using these values, it will make it possible to determine what issue ocurred to try to find the root cause of failure. If any error codes do surface, please contact Durbin Industrial Valve for help in determining root cause and corrective action needed. *(Note: The valves and motors have been tuned for the application. These error codes should not be a normal occurance. This screen and software is given to help detemine any unforseen issues that may arise over the course of time.) Installation and Operation Manual 27 Revision E ...
Page 28
4) Motor information: Durbin may request information about the motor during a techinal support call. From the “Motor View” window, click on the “Info” tab. Here you will find information about the valve/motor that may be requested. 5) Network information: From the “Motor View” window, you can also determine the IP address of the motor you are connected to. This is only important when you are dealing with multiple valves accoss the same network. Installation and Operation Manual 28 Revision E ...
6) Monitoring: Inside this “Motor View” window, the user has the ability to monitor many polling values real time, that are not captured in the status window. For the example below, Motor Position, Target Position, and motor internal temperature have been added. Although, this can be a useful tool, later in this document another method for monitoring will be discussed that is more visual and will graph the actual polled information. (Refer to section 4) 7) The other tabs inside of the “Motor View” window can be useful, but are typically used in a programmer’s mode and not for troubleshooting any issues. If there is a need to perform additional polling or testing. Please contact Durbin Industrial Valve for further assistance. Section 3: Terminal Window This section will discuss sending commands to the motor and retrieving information that is not available through the “Motor View” window. This section will also list many of the commands to be used during trouble shooting. 1) Terminal window: With motor connected as described in Section 1, the blue terminal window should be visible in the SMI software. Installation and Operation Manual 29 Revision E ...
Page 30
2) Be sure that the correct terminal tab is selected for the communication that you are using. (If you are using USB, then click USB tab, Ethernet uses Ethernet tab) Also, if you are connected to multiple motors, be sure you select the correct motor that you wish to communicate with. 3) List of Commands: a. Request Velocity Target (Motor Velocity) Syntax = RVT b. Request Acceleration Target (Motor Acceleration) Syntax = RAT c. Request Deceleration Target (Motor Deceleration) Syntax = RDT d. Request Actual Position (Motor’s actual position) Syntax = RPA e. Request Target Position (Last known target position) Syntax = RPT Request Actual Temperature (Internal modual temperature in Deg C) Syntax = RTEMP g. Run Preloaded program (Internal program for specific Durbin Valve) Syntax = RUN Installation and Operation Manual 30 Revision E ...
Page 31
h. End program (Stops running Durbin program) Syntax = END Shut off motor. (Dissables motor, but does not kill power) Syntax = OFF Put motor into “Position Mode” (This will allow the user to move the valve to known positions to determine if valve motion is being prevented by foreign objects in valve, or if the actuator has become damaged. Be careful to give position moves within the allowable travel distance as specified for the given valve. This information can be found on the valve tag and is identified as “Max Postion”. Syntax = MP k. Set target velocity (Maximum RPM, value should have a magnitude no larger than 218000. For given valves, the sign convention is negative. Input value should be between ‐168000 and ‐218000) Syntax = VT=‐218000 Set target acceleration (Maximum acceleration) This value should be no higher than 3000. For troubleshooting, it is recommended that a value of 2000 or less be used. Syntax = AT=2000 m. Set target deceleration (Maximum deceleration) This value should be no higher than 3000. For troubleshooting, it is recommended that a value of 2000 or less be used. Syntax = DT=2000 n. Send target position. (Make the valve move) As previously mentioned, make sure to use a value within the valve’s known travel distance. Internal valves range = 0‐41,000. ¾” DV 0‐65,000, 1‐1/2” DV 0‐100,000 Syntax = PT=30000 G i. For this command, the syntax includes a “G” or “Go” command. This is what initiates the actual motion. If this “G” is excluded, no motion will occur. ii. Please note that after the position target, there is a space before the “G” o. Find zero (Home the valve) This command will close the valve fully and reset the zero position. Please be aware that if foreign debris becomes lodged in the valve, and rehoming occurs, the motor may believe that the valve is closed. Therefore, the valve could be stuck open. Before commanding motor to rehome, make sure stem travel is unobstructed. Syntax = GOSUB(5) p. Set IP address: Syntax = IPCTL(0,”134.200.211.121”) i. After an IP address change, motor must undergo a hard reboot. Completely ...

r. Request current IP address value: Syntax = RETH(15) s. Request current Subnet Mask value: Syntax = RETH(16) Clear errors: Syntax = ZS 4) If other commands are needed, Please Contact Durbin Industrial Valve for further technical support. Section 4: Charting The SMI software is a very powerful tool which can monitor many motors at the same time to determine a wide variety of information that can enable the user to diagnose not only potential valve issues, but also can determine programming issues within the PLC ladder logic. For the example below, a single motor was charted, but multiple motors can be configured to be polled using the same chart simultaneously. 1. In the main toolbar in SMI, left click “Tools”, “Chartview” Installation and Operation Manual 32 Revision E ...

g. To begin charting, simply click the green arrow (Go button). i. The charted move above shows a commanded movement from zero position to 30,000 and back to zero. Make note how the lines were scaled so they did not line up on top of one another. 4. Changing charting frequency and duration: a. Anywhere in the grey area of the chart, right click and then click on “Chart Properties” b. Here you can label the chart and set limits to further scale the chart for your needs. c. More importantly, you can change the Buffer size (How many samples you want to record) and the sample rate. Simple math can determine what these numbers need to be depending on how long you want to record. Installation and Operation Manual 37 Revision E ...
Page 38
5. Monitor Multiple motors on the same chart. a. Typically, this would only be used with Ethernet, but if multiple USB connections were made, this can be done in USB mode as well. b. Follow the same steps as mentioned above, but each new chart item added will need to be mapped to the correct valve needing monitoring. On the “Add new Chart Item” window click the “search” button. c. Here you can see what motors are visible. Make certain that you searching in the correct port type. Installation and Operation Manual 38 Revision E ...
