Low sensing
- Input current resolution is faulty.
- Check the input current system.
5
-Actuato
r’s sliding resistance is
large.
-Reduce the sliding resistance to as
little as possible.
-Operate only the actuator and check
the stick-slip movement. If this
movement cannot be recovered, it
’s
beyond
the
capacity
of
this
positioner.
-
-Dead band value is high.
-Change the dead band with the
parameter mode.
50
-Operation takes time due to the
actuator’s large capacity.
-Wait until the actuator fills with air.

-Others.
-Contact SMC representatives.

Hunting problem
-Actuator is uncalibrated.
-Calibrate the actuator with the
parameter mode.
23 to 25
-PID constant after calibration is
improper due to use of a special
valve.
-Change the PID constant with the
parameter mode.
56 to 58
-There is play in the mounting of
the feedback lever and actuator.
-Eliminate the play and properly
mount them.
10, 11
-The input current itself is unstable. -Check the input current system.
-Ground properly.

⑫
-Rotation resistance of the actuator
is significant due to ground and
piston packing.
-Reduce rotation resistance as much
as possible.
-
Large air consumption
-Air is leaking from the piping.
-Check the piping, and stop
the leakage.

⑧
-Air is leaking from the positioner.
(due to a seating failure of the pilot
valve. )
-Replace the pilot valve unit.

is unavailable
-The angle of the feedback lever is
in excess of
–30/+30 degrees on
both ends of the actuator.

angle to
–30/+30degrees or less.

- The angle of the feedback lever
is less than 10 degree or 30
degree or larger
-The standard positioner stroke is
from 10 to 30 degrees. Use it
within 10 to 30 degrees.
