Diagnosis / error messages
This chapter only covers hardware-related errors. For additional troubleshooting information, refer to the online help for the operator
interface.
Error
Possible cause
Troubleshooting the Instrument
Valve cannot be moved by actuator.
Failure either on the actuator or the final control
element (e.g. packed gland too tight).
Disconnect actuator from valve.
If the actuator moves, the valve is the possible cause.
If the actuator does not move, the actuator is the
possible cause.
The actuator does not respond.
Incorrect electronic unit or incorrect data set.
Compare information on name plates for actuator
and electronic unit.
Incorrectly configured electronic unit.
Check / change.
Change the settings via the parameterization
software.
No communication with the control system.
Check wiring.
Incorrect wiring between actuator and electronic unit. Check wiring.
Motor / brake defective.
Check the winding resistance of the motor and brake.
Check the brake lock.
Binary inputs on the electronic unit are not wired.
Make connection.
Brake does not release (no mechanical ‘click’)
Check the brake air gap (approx. 0.25 mm (0.010 in))
and electrical connection to the brake.
Check winding resistance of the brake coil.
Actuator does not run in automatic mode, although
automatic mode is selected in the user interface.
Digital input 1 (BE 1) not wired.
Make connection.
Check the software settings for the digital inputs.
Actuator does not respond to control (LED 5 flashing
at 1 Hz) (software version 2.00 and higher).
Actuator in manual mode (MAN) through
commissioning and service field.
Switch actuator to automatic mode (AUT).
LEDs in the commissioning and service panel (ISF) are
flashing synchronously.
Actuator is not adjusted properly.
Adjust actuator.
LEDs flash alternately.
Electronic unit / drive malfunction.
Drive the actuator beyond the adjusted end position,
either manually or using the buttons on the
commissioning and service field; (if necessary
disconnect from final control element first).
Drive the actuator back into the operating range and
connect it to the valve.
Readjust the actuator for the operating range.
Malfunction when approaching the end position.
Actuator in limit range of positioning sensor.
Electrical test values
The specified resistance values for the motor refer to measurements between the external conductors.
