Regulators
6.1
Electronic stepping
Electronic stepping is used to operate a standard double acting or spring return actuator in a
stepping mode replicating the functionality of a stepping actuator.
•
Set the Regulator type to “Electronic stepping” through ValConnect
•
Perform an auto calibration
•
Set the extra “Off-times” to increase the duration of the stroke
o
Open off-time extra
o
Close off-time extra
•
Fail step: Set desired action in case of loss of control loop or position signal
•
Open end pulses: Number of pulses after the position has reached full open
•
Close end pulses: Number of pulses after the position has reached full close
6.2
Mechanical stepping
The configuration of a mechanical stepping is to be done through ValConnect. The recommended
settings when setting up a IHP24 with a stepping actuator is:
•
Regulator type:
Mechanical stepping
•
Dead band:
2 %
•
Open on-time:
5 sec
•
Close on-time:
5 sec
•
Open off-time:
5 sec
•
Close off-time:
5 sec
The following parameters can be used to tune the functionality of the regulator
•
Fail step: Set desired action in case of loss of control loop or position signal
•
Open end pulses: Number of pulses after the position has reached full open
•
Close end pulses: Number of pulses after the position has reached full close
6.3
Proportional
Configuration
In configuration the user can change the setup of the positioner.
•
Valve function: Configures how the valves operate during open, close and stay-put. The
proportional output can be configured in three ways.
o
AO1
: 4 mA is full close, 12mA is stay-put and 20mA is full open.
o
AO2
: 4 mA is full close, 12mA is stay-put and 20mA is full open.
o
AO1 and AO2
AO1= 20mA, AO2= 4mA is full close.
AO1= 4mA, AO2 = 20mA is full open.
AO1= 4mA, AO2= 4mA is stay-put.
