EXPERTplus is a diagnostic firmware inte
-
grated into the positioner which allows the
predictive, status-oriented maintenance of
valves with pneumatic actuators.
EXPERTplus records the valve condition while
the process is running (in automatic mode)
and generates messages on the required
maintenance work. In addition, numerous
tests can be performed in manual mode to
pinpoint emerging faults.
The diagnostic functions of EXPERTplus are
completely integrated into the positioner. Di-
agnostic data are compiled, saved and ana-
lyzed in the positioner itself. Classified status
messages on the state of the valve are gener-
ated from the analysis.
Operation using TROVIS-VIEW 4/DD/DTM/
eDD
EXPERTplus allows the parameters to be
viewed or changed using the TROVIS-
VIEW 4 software or DD/DTM/eDD.
