PROCESS CONTROLLER TYPE 8793
In the case of process controller Type 8793 the position control mentioned in chapter “7” becomes the sub-
ordinate auxiliary control circuit; this results in a cascade control. The process controller in the main control
circuit of Type 8793 has a PID function. The process set-point value (
SP
) is specified as set-point value and
compared with the actual value(
PV
) of the process variable to be controlled. The position sensor records the
current position (
POS
) of the pneumatic actuator. The positioner compares this position actual value with the
set-point value (
CMD
) which is specified by the process controller. If there is a control difference (Xd1), the
actuator is aerated and de-aerated via the actuating system. In this way the position of the actuator is changed
until control difference is 0. Z2 represents a disturbance variable.
