The input signal range can be adapted, e.g. to achieve a plant operation characteristic by connecting two or more actuators in parallel (split-range operation). Example: Two valves regulate the process medium in one common pipeline to achieve a large rangeability. One valve opens with a 0 to 5 V input signal, while the second valve also opens when the input signal increases further (5 to 10 V) and the first valve remains open. The two valves close in the reverse order. EB 5857 EN 16-1...
If the Input signal failure function is active, the reaction of the actuator upon failure of the in- put signal is determined by the Positioning value upon input signal failure parameter. − 'Positioning value upon input signal failure' = Internal The actuator stem moves to the position specified in the Internal positioning value param- eter upon failure of the input signal. 16-2 EB 5857 EN...
