  • Page 112: Adjusting Inductive Limit Switch

    Operating the positioner 7.8 Adjusting inductive limit switch The positioner version with an inductive limit switch has an adjustable tag (1) mounted on the axis of rotation, which operates the proximity switch (3). For operation of the inductive limit switch, the corresponding switching amplifier (see sec- tion 5.16.2) must be connected to the output circuit. When the tag (1) is located in the inductive field of the switch, the switch assumes a high re- sistance. When it moves outside the field, the switch assumes a low resistance. Normally, the limit switch is adjusted in such a way that it will provide a signal in both end positions of the valve.
