End position trend
The end position trend is used to detect a
creeping zero point shift due to seat and
plug wear or dirt between the seat and
plug. A fluctuating zero point also causes an
alarm to be issued.
To accomplish this function, the valve posi-
tion x and the drive signal y are automati-
cally logged and time-stamped by the oper-
ating hours counter in automatic mode
when the valve moves to the lower end posi-
tion. The measured data are stored in an
FIFO memory that always stores 30 mea-
sured data points.
The measured data are first stored in a ring
buffer if the valve position x differs by
±0.25 % from the measured value previ-
ously recorded.
To allow the test to run automatically in the
background, activate the tight-closing func-
tion (over Code 14 or in the
Positioner
folder (>
Reference variable
>
Setpoint cut-
off decrease
) and make sure the positioner
is in AUTO operating mode.
When the valve moves to the zero point for
the first time in controlled operation, this
measured value serves as a reference. The
reference value is stored in a non-volatile
memory independent from the ring buffer.
