POSITIONER TYPE 8792
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 as a standard signal. 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. Z1 represents a disturbance variable.
