System description
5.5. Type 8694 positioner (position controller)
The position measuring system records the current position (POS) of the pneumatic actuator. The position controller
compares this actual position value with the set-point value (CMD) which is definable as standard signal. In case
of a control deviation (Xd1), a pulse-width modulated voltage signal is sent to the control system as a manipu-
lated variable. If there is a positive control difference in single-acting actuators, the air inlet valve is controlled via
output B1. If the control difference is negative, the bleed valve is controlled via output E1. In this way the position
of the actuator is changed until control difference is 0. Z1 represents a disturbance variable.
