Doing a Function Test 

1.  Plug the power cord into the power socket.

2.  Switch the electronics on.

3.  Switch the electronics to open-loop mode 

(

SERVO

 switch in the 

OFF

 position).

4.  Turn the 

DC OFFSET

 potentiometer.

5.  Make sure that the displayed output volta-

ge changes.

Connecting the Positioner to the Elec

-

tronics

Requirements

 

The electronics are switched off.

 

You have read and understood the user 

manual for the positioner.

Tools and Accessories

 

Positioner with compatible drive type

 

If necessary: Suitable adapter from PI

 

If necessary: Suitable extension cable from 

PI

Connecting the Positioner

1.  Plug the positioner‘s drive connector into 

the electronics.

2.  If necessary: Plug the positioner‘s sensor 

connector into the electronics.

3.  If possible: Secure the connectors against 

unintentional removal.

 

 

NOTICE

Uncontrolled oscillation can damage the 

positioner or your application.

 

X

If oscillation occurs, switch off the 

servo mode or stop the positioner 

immediately.

 

X

Check the servo control settings 

respectively the settings for the 

operating parameters (see the user 

manual).

Requirements

 

The electronics are switched off.

 

There is no control signal at the 

CONTROL 

INPUT 

sockets or it is set to 0 V.

 

The 

DC OFFSET

 potentiometers are set to 0.

Starting and Operating

Operating with Analog Control Signal

Amplifier (Open-Loop Operation)

1.  Switch the amplifier on. 

If there is a display, the default screen 

appears.

2.  Command the positioner to move: 

Apply a suitable input control signal to the 

CONTROL INPUT

 (refer to manual) or use 

the 

DC OFFSET

 potentiometer.

Controller (Closed-Loop Operation)

1.  Move the 

SERVO

 switch for each channel to 

the OFF position (open-loop operation).

2.  Switch the controller on. If there is a dis-

play, the default screen appears.

3.  Move the 

SERVO

 switch of all channels to 

the ON position (closed-loop operation).

4.  Command the positioners to move: 

Apply a suitable input control signal to the 

CONTROL INPUT

 socket (see manual) or use 

the 

DC OFFSET

 potentiometer.

5.  If the 

Overflow

 LED for the channel lights 

up, adjust the sensor‘s zero point with the 

ZERO

 potentiometer until the 

Overflow

 LED 

extinguishes. 

Adjusting the sensor‘s zero point is neces-

sary if it has shifted as a result of tempera-

ture changes or mechanical load and the 

positioner is prevented from covering its 

full travel range.

Operating with a PC

It is possible to control via a PC if the electro-

nics are equipped with a suitable interface such 

as TCP/IP, USB, RS-232 or IEEE-488.
