Calibration Failure Alarm - Tout Alert
3 - Failure in the learning cycles of the open and closed points:
Imagine the condition where Tout is set to 10 seconds and that the set (positioner/
actuator) was able to perform the 1st cycle of learning the open and closed points,
but when starting the second or third cycle, a failure of lack of compressed air occurs.
In this case, the Tout Alert will only be generated at the end of the self-calibration
process of the Open and Close positions.
A - Display showing 0% - At this point the positioner will send a command for the
actuator to go to the rest position and wait 10 seconds (Tout set), action successfully
performed within the 10-second interval.
B - Now the display changes to 5% - and the positioner will send a new command for
the actuator to go to position A (example: Open), action successfully accomplished
within the 10-second interval.
C - Then the display changes to 10% - and the positioner sends a new command for
the actuator to go to position B (example: Open), action successfully accomplished
within 10 seconds.
D - The display changes to 15% - and the positioner sends a new command for the
actuator to go to position A (example: Open), and after the 10 seconds elapsed,
internal fault 1 occurs - because there was no movement.
E - Then the display changes to 20% - and the positioner sends a new command for
the actuator to go to position A (example: Open), and after the 10 seconds elapsed
internal fault 2 occurs - because there was no movement.
F - The display now shows 25% - and the positioner sends a new command for the
actuator to go to position A (example: Open), and after the 10 seconds elapsed
internal fault 3 occurs - because there was no movement.
G - The display now shows 30% - and the positioner sends a new command for the
actuator to go to position A (example: Open), and after the 10 seconds internal fault 4
occurs - because there was no movement.
H - Tout Alert is activated, but note that it now took 70 seconds for the alert to be
generated, i.e. 7 times the Tout set in the menu, because the first 3 steps of the 1st
learning cycle were successful and the positioner only registered the problem in the
2nd cycle and confirmed the lack of movement in the 3rd cycle.
