Valve position x histogram

Valve position x histogram

The valve position histogram is a statistical 
analysis of the plotted valve positions. The 
histogram provides information about where 
the valve mainly spends the majority of its 
time during its service life and whether it 
shows a recent trend concerning changes in 
its operating range.
Data are recorded automatically 15 minutes 
after initialization (regardless of the operat-
ing mode selected). Data logging does not 
need to be activated.
The positioner records the valve position ev-
ery second and assigns the data into pre-

defined valve position classes. The distribu

-

tion showing how often the sound level oc-
curred within a valve position class is shown 
in a bar graph.

 

'Mean value': Average class assignment 
of valve positions throughout 'Monitoring 
duration'.

 

'Number of measurement points': Total 

number of values recorded during the 

'Monitoring duration'.

 

'Monitoring duration'

The measured data are saved every 24 
hours in the positioner.

Short-term monitoring

In order to be able to recognize any short-
term changes in valve position, the position-
er records the valve positions according to 

the adjusted 'Sampling time' and analyses 

the last 100 measured values.

 

'Mean time': Contains the average class 

assignment of valve positions for the last 
100 measured values.

 

'Adjusted monitoring duration': 100 x 
'Sampling time'

The positioner saves the valve positions in a 
circular buffer, which holds 100 measured 
values at one time.
