General description
The positioner Type 8791 is a digital, electro-pneumatic position
controller for pneumatically actuated continuous valves. The device
incorporates the main function groups
- Position sensor
- Electro-pneumatic pilot valve system
- Microprocessor electronics
The position sensor measures the current positions of the con-
tinuous valve. The microprocessor electronics continuously
compare the current position (actual value) with a set-point
position value specified via the standard signal input and sup-
plies the result to the position controller. If there is a control
difference, the electro-pneumatic valve pilot system corrects the
actual position accordingly.
