ation
The positioner is mounted on pneumatic con-
trol valves and is used to assign the valve
position (
controlled variable x) to the control
signal (
set point w). The positioner compares
the control signal of a control system to the
travel or rotational angle of the control valve
and issues a signal pressure (output vari-
able y) for the pneumatic actuator.
The positioner mainly consists of an electric
travel sensor system, an analog i/p convert
-
er with a downstream air capacity booster
and the electronics with the microcontroller.
When a system deviation occurs, the actua
-
tor is either vented or filled with air. If neces
-
sary, the signal pressure change can be
slowed down by a volume restriction. The
signal pressure supplied to the actuator can
be limited by software or on site to 1.4, 2.4
or 3.7 bar.
The fixed flow regulator ensures a constant
air flow to the atmosphere, which is used to
flush the inside of the positioner housing and
to optimize the air capacity booster. The i/p
converter is supplied with a constant up-
stream pressure by the pressure regulator to
compensate for any fluctuations in the supply
pressure.
