WARNING
The instrument must only be installed and commissioned by qualified
personnel.
The instrument is designed for connection to functional and safety
extra low voltage.
The instrument is designed for connection to operate voltage or safety
extra--low voltage.
Electrical safety depends only on the power supply equipment.
Pneumatic actuators exert considerable positioning forces. The safety
precautions of the actuator used must therefore be scrupulously
observed during installation and commissioning in order to prevent
injuries.
We explicitly draw your attention to the necessity of observing safety
regulations regarding operation in zones subject to explosion hazard, if
applicable.
The specifications of the examination certificate valid in your country
must be observed. Laws and regulations valid in your country must be
observed for the electrical installation in explosions hazardous areas.
In Germany these are for example:
-Working reliability regulations,
-Regulations for installing electrical equipment in hazardous areas,
DIN EN 60079--14 (in the past VDE 0165, T1).
It should be checked whether the available power supply, insofar as
this is required, is compliant with the power supply specified on the
type plate and specified in the examination certificate valid in your
country.
Take care to avoid electrostatic discharges within the hazardous area,
such as can arise if a dry cloth is used to clean the positioner in the
plastic housing.
Devices with the protection type flameproof enclosure may only be
opened when the power is off.
WARNING
Devices with the protection type intrinsically safe lose their certification as soon as they are operated with circuits that do not conform to
the specifications laid down in the EC type examination certificate valid
in your country.
The successful and safe operation of this equipment is dependent
upon its proper handling, installation, operation and maintenance.

Introduction
Introduction
1.1
General information about the positioner

The positioner is used to adjust and control pneumatic actuators. The
controller operates electropneumatically with compressed air as an
energy supply.
The positioner together with the FOUNDATION Fieldbus communications
interface are components in a digital process automation system. The
field bus is used not only for communication but also to supply the positioner with electrical power.
Purpose
For example, the positioner can be used to control valves as follows:
S with linear actuator (figure 1-1, page 15) or

S with rotary actuator VDI/VDE 3845 (figure 1-2, page 15)
Different mounting types are available for linear actuators:
S NAMUR or IEC534
S integrated mounting to ARCA
S integrated mounting to SAMSON (non-explosion-proof version)
This means the positioner can be installed and operated on all common
actuator systems.
Versions
The positioner is available for the following actuators:
S double-acting and
S single-acting
For following applications:
S potentially explosive or
S not potentially explosive applications.
Housing

A5E00214569-03
The electronics with display, position feedback and valve block are integrated in the housing.

Design and Functional Principle
Design and Method of Operation
The following chapter describes the mechanical and electrical design,

the instrument components and method of operation of the positioner.
2.1
Overview
Introduction
The electropneumatic positioner forms a control system in connection

with an actuator. The current position of the positioner is detected by a
servo potentiometer and fed back as actual value x. In addition a
separate sensor can be fitted to the positioner for purposes of position
detection. The setpoint and actual value are output simultaneously on
the display.
The setpoint is set by the control system and passed to the positioner
by the FOUNDATION Fieldbus digitally.
The FOUNDATION Fieldbus variant of the positioner differs from previous
versions in the bus interface. The basic functions of the positioner including operation and display are virtually unchanged.
The positioner operates as a predictive five-point switch by the output
variable y of which the integrated actuating valves are controlled with
pulse length modulation.
These actuating signals cause fluctuations in pressure in the actuator
chamber(s) and thus adjustment of the actuator until the control error is
zero.
Operation (manual) and configuration (structuring, initialization and
parameterization) is effected by three keys and a display with the housing cover removed.
A further input (Shut down) has the function of moving the actuator to a
pre-set safety position (end stop).
With the Iy-option module, the current actuator position can be output
as a two wire signal Iy = 4 to 20 mA.
In addition the actuator can be monitored for two programmable limit
values which respond on exceeding or dropping below the stroke or
angle of rotation.

A5E00214569-03
17

The limit value alarms are output by the alarm option module which can
monitor and report the function of the positioner and the actuator additionally through a fault message output. The value of the control difference dependent on the travel time is monitored in automatic mode. The
fault signal is always set when the control error cannot be leveled after
a certain time because for example the valve is blocked or the mains
pressure is insufficient. The three digital outputs are implemented as
semiconductor outputs and are error self-reporting, i.e. the outputs respond even when the power supply fails or the electronics are defective.
The actuator can also be blocked or driven to its final positions depending on the configuration for example by an external event via a digital
input (DI2) on the alarm module.
If you require electrically independent limit value messages from the
standard controller, you will have to use the SIA module with the slot
initiators instead of the alarm module.
The friction clutch (9, Figure 2-2, page 19) allows you to set the working range, particularly for linear actuators, after installation. You thus do
not have to ensure symmetrical mounting during the installation.
As it is not allowed to open the housing of an explosion proof version in
a potentially explosive atmosphere, the shaft has an externally fitted,
additional friction clutch (8, Figure 2-3, page 20).
NOTICE
for the explosion proof version:
Only adjust the outer friction clutch (8, Figure 2-3, page 20). The internal friction clutch (9, Figure 2-2, page 19) is fixed and, for the explosion proof version, must not be adjusted.

2.3.4 Mounting Kit

The positioner can be mounted on almost all actuators with the appropriate mounting kit.
2.3.5 Purge air switching (not in the explosion-proof version)

The purge air switch is accessible above the pneumatic terminal strip
with the housing open (figure 2-7). In the IN position the inside of the
housing is purged with very small amounts of clean, dry instrument air.
In the OUT position the purge air is fed directly to the outside air (for
more information: see Chapter 3.3, page 39).

2.3.6 Restrictors
In order to achieve travel times of > 1.5 s in small actuators, the air rate
can be reduced with the restrictors Y1 and Y2 (figure 2-8, in
explosion-proof version, see figure 2-5, page 21). By turning clockwise
the air rate is reduced up to shutting off. To set the restrictors it is
advisable to close them and then open them slowly (see initialization
RUN3).

2.4
Method of Operation
The electropneumatic positioner forms a control circuit with the
pneumatic actuator in which the actual value x is the position of the
actuator bar in linear actuators or the position of the actuator shaft in
rotary actuators and the command variable w is supplied digitally via
the FOUNDATION Fieldbus.
The stroke or rotary movement of the actuator is transferred by the
appropriate mounting accessories, the feedback shaft and a play-free
switchable gearwheel to a high quality conductive plastic potentiometer
and to the analog input of the microcontroller. The current position can
also be measured using an external sensor. For this the stroke and the
angle of rotation are sensed by a Non-Contacting Position Sensor
directly on the actuator.
The positioner may correct the angle error of the stroke tap, compares
the actual value x with the setpoint w and calculates the manipulated
variable increments y. Depending on the size and direction of the
control error (x-w) the piezo-controlled supply air or exhaust air valve is
opened. The volume of the actuator integrates the positioning
increments to actuating pressure y open which moves the actuator bar
or actuator shaft approximately proportionally. These positioning
increments change the actuating pressure until the control error
becomes zero.
The pneumatic actuators are available in single and double-acting
versions. Only one pressure chamber is aerated or deaerated in the
single-acting version. The resulting pressure operates against a spring.
In the double-acting version, two pressure chambers are counteractive.
In this case the one volume is deaerated when the other volume is
aerated.
The control algorithm is an adaptive predictive five-point switch (see
figure 2-9, page 25). The valves are controlled with continuous contact
at large control errors (fast step zone). At medium control errors the
valve is controlled by pulse length modulated pulses (short step zone).
No actuating pulses are output in the small control error zone (adaptive
dead zone). The dead zone adaptation and the continuous adaptation
of the minimum pulse lengths in automatic operation cause the best
possible control accuracy to be achieved at the lowest switching frequency. The start parameters are determined during the initialization
phase and stored in a non-volatile memory. These are basically the real
actuating path with the mechanical limit stops, the travel times, the size
of the dead zone etc.
In addition the number of fault messages, changes in direction and the
number of strokes are determined and stored every 15 minutes during
operation. These parameters can be read out and documented by the
communication programs such as AMS. Conclusions as to the wear on
the fitting can be drawn (diagnostic function) especially by comparing
the old value with the currently determined values.

2.6.3 Iy module
Function
With the Iy-option module, the current actuator position can be output
as a two wire signal Iy = 4 to 20 mA potentially isolated from the
standard controller. The dynamic control of the Iy module makes it also
error self--reporting.
Installation
The Iy module (3) is pushed in to the bottom compartment of the module rack up to the stop and connected by the enclosed 6-wire ribbon
cable (6) to the motherboard (see figure 2-10, page 27).
2.6.4 Alarm module

The alarm module contains
S 3 digital outputs and

S 1 digital input
Function
The digital outputs serve to output fault messages and alarms. The
configuration is described in chapter 4.4, page 88, with the parameters
44 to 54.
By an external signal applied at digital input (DI2) the actuator can be
blocked or driven to its limit positions for example depending on the
configuration. The configuration is described in chapter 4.4, page 88,
with the parameters 43.
The alarm module is available in two versions:
S explosion protected for connecting to switching amplifier

EN 60947--5--6
S non--explosion protected for connection to voltage sources with a

maximum 35 V
The semiconductor outputs of the alarm module report an alarm (signal

state Low) by switching off with high resistance. They are conductive in
the High state (without alarm). The dynamic control makes them error
self--reporting.
The outputs are potentially isolated from the basic circuit and each
other.
The digital input is double.
S one potential isolated for voltage level

S one not potential isolated for floating contacts
These two inputs are designed as logic OR links.
Installation
30
Push the alarm module (4) underneath the motherboard into the module rack up to the stop and connect by the enclosed 8-wire ribbon cable (5) to the motherboard (see figure 2-10, page 27).

A5E00214569-03
2.6.5 SIA module

The SIA module contains three digital outputs.
Function
A collected fault message (see alarme module) is output via a digitaloutput. The floating digital output is implemented as a self error reporting semiconductor output.
The other two digital outputs are used for reporting two mechanically
adjustable limit values (L1, L2) by slot initiators. The two binary outputs
are electrically independent of the rest of the electronics.
Installation
(Slot Initiator Alarm module) Proceed as follows for installation:

1.
Remove all the electrical connections from the motherboard (2).
2.
Loosen the two fixing screws (2.1) of the motherboard.
3.
Snap out the motherboard by carefully bending the four holders.
4.
Insert the SIA-module (7) from above up to the top pcb rail of the
rack.
5.
Push the SIA module in the pcb rail of the rack about 3 mm to the
right.
6.
Screw the special screw (7.1) through the SIA module into the axle
of the positioner (Torque: 2 Nm):
CAUTION
The pin pressed into the actuating disc bearing (12) must be adjusted
to just before touching with the special screw. The actuating disc bearing and the special screw must then be turned simultaneously so that
the pins slot into the special screw.
7.
Place the insulating cover (10) over the SIA module underneath
the surface of the motherboard at the container wall on one side.
The recesses in the insulating cover must slot into the corresponding lugs on the container wall. Place the insulating cover on the
SIA module by carefully bending the container walls.
8.
Snap the motherboard into the four holders and screw it tight again
with the two fixing screws (2.1).
9.
Make all the electrical connections between the motherboard and

the options with the ribbon cables provided and between the motherboard and potentiometers with the potentiometer cable.
10. Fix the enclosed module cover instead of the standard version with
the two screws (1.1).

A5E00214569-03

11. Select the plates which already exist on the standard version of the
module cover from the set of plates enclosed. Stick the selected
plates according to the standard version to the mounted module
cover. In the case of the version which doesnt feature explosion
protection, stick the warning sign (figure 2) onto the side of the
ground plate opposite the typeplate.
12. Make the electrical connections.
Setting the two limit values:
NOTE
Connect a suitable display instrument such as the Initiator--Tester type
2/Ex made by Peperl+Fuchs to the terminals 41 and 42 or terminals 51
and 52 of the SIA module to be able to see the switching state of the
slot initiators.
1.
Drive the actuator to the first desired mechanical position.
2.
Adjust the top actuating disc (7.2) by hand until the output signal
on terminals 41 and 42 changes.
3.
Drive the actuator to the second desired mechanical position.
4.
Adjust the bottom actuating disc (7.3) by hand until the output signal on terminals 51 and 52 changes.
NOTE
If you turn the actuating disc beyond the switching point up to the next
switching point, you can set a high-low or a low-high change.
To avoid the actuating discs being accidentally adjusted during operating, they are relatively sluggish. The following remedy might be of help
if you are having trouble with the adjustment: open and close the actuator several times while holding the actuating discs. This temporarily
reduces the friction. This allows an easier and finer adjustment.
2.6.6 Mechanical limit switch module

The mechanical limit switch module contains the following:
S A binary output for the output of a group error message)

S Two switches for signaling two limit values that can be set mechanically. These two switches are electrically independent from the rest
of the electronic system

When you supply one circuit breaker with extra--low voltage (AC
< 16 V or DC < 35 V) and the other with low voltage, you ensure that
the cable insulation is doubled.
When operating the switch with low voltage, you must position the low
voltage circuits so that they are separated from the extra--low voltage
circuits.
Follow the instructions below for installation:
1.
Remove all electrical connections on the motherboard (2).
2.
Loosen carefully both fixing screws (2.1) for the motherboard.
3.
Insert the limit switch module (7) from above until it reaches the
upper printed circuit board rail of the rack.
4.
Snap put the motherboard (2) by carefully bending the four holders.
5.
Push the mechanical limit switch module (7) in the printed circuit
board rail of the rack ca. 3 mm towards the right
6.
Screw the special screw (7.1) through the mechanical limit switch
module into the axle of the positioner (torque: 2 Nm).
CAUTION
The pin pressed into the actuating disc bearing (12) must be adjusted just before it touches the special screw (7.1) In order that the
pin slot into the special screw, you must then turn the actuating
disc bearing and the special screw simultaneously

7.
Place the insulating cover (10) over the mechanical limit switch
module underneath the surface of the motherboard onto the container on the wall. The recesses in the insulating cover must slot
into the corresponding lugs on the container wall. Place the insulating cover on the mechanical limit switch module by carefully bending the container walls.
8.
Snap the motherboard board into the four holders and screw it tight
again with the two fixing screws (2.1).
9.
Make sure all electrical connections between the motherboard and

the options using the ribbon cables provided and between the motherboard and potentiometer using the potentiometer cable.
10. Fix the enclosed module cover (1) instead of the standard version
using the two screws (1.1).
NOTE
To prevent premature wearing of the fixture by the self--tapping screws
(1.1), the following method of mounting the module cover (1) has proven effective:
S Turn the screws counterclockwise until you feel them snap into the
thread.
S Tighten both screws carefully in a clockwise direction
NOTE
Before connecting up the limit contact module, ensure that:
S only qualified personnel connect and set the limit contact module.

Figure 2-12
Installation of the options modules in the explosion-proof version
Setting the two limit values:
1.
Drive the actuator to the first desired mechanical position.
2.
Adjust the top actuating disc (7.2) by hand until the output signal
on terminals 41 and 42 changes.
3.
Drive the actuator to the second desired mechanical position.
4.
Adjust the bottom actuating disc (7.3) by hand until the output signal on terminals 51 and 52 changes.
NOTE
To avoid the actuating discs (7.2/7.3) being accidentally adjusted during operation, they are relatively sluggish. The following remedy might
be of help if you are having trouble with the adjustment: open and
close the actuator several times while holding the actuating discs. This
temporarily reduces the friction. This allows an easier and finer adjustment.
2.6.7 EMC filter module
The positioner can also be driven by an external position sensor (potentiometer or NCS) (see page 42 3.3.2 Instructions for using positioners which are exposed to strong accelerations or vibrations). An EMC
filter module, order number C73451--A430--D23, is required for this.

Assembly
General
WARNING
To avoid injury or mechanical damage to the positioner/mounting kit,
the following order must be observed for assembly:
1. Mechanical fitting of positioner
this chapter
2. Connection of electric power supply
see chapter 3.4, p. 54
3. Connection of pneumatic power supply
4. Put into operation
Please also observe the warning on page 10 and 54!

A5E00214569-03
39
NOTE
The positioner will be equipped at the factory and delivered complete
with the necessary options at the customers request. Options modules
may only be retrofitted by our service technicians.
The positioner must be assembled especially in a moist environment
in such a way as to rule out freezing of the positioner axle at low
ambient temperature.
The operating keys must be covered to prevent liquid getting in.
WARNING
In the combination of components it must be ensured that only
positioners and options modules are combined which are approved for
the respective area of application. This applies especially for safe
operation of the positioner in areas in which the atmosphere is
potentially explosive (zone 1 and 2). The instrument categories (2 and
3) of the instrument itself and those of its options must be observed.
In addition, you must always make sure that no water gets into an open
housing or screw-type gland. This may be the case for example when
the positioner cannot be finally assembled and connected immediately.
It generally applies that the positioner may only be operated with dry
compressed air. Therefore use the normal water traps. An additional
drying unit may even be necessary in extreme cases. This is
particularly important when operating the positioner at low ambient
temperatures. Please set the purge air switch (on the valve block
above the pneumatic terminals) additionally to the OUT position.
Use a sufficiently rugged console (e.g. plate thickness > 4 mm with
reinforcements) for rotary actuators and the mounting kit linear
actuator or integrated connection for linear actuators.
3.3.1 Instructions for using positioners in a wet environment

This information gives you important instructions for the assembly and
operation of the positioner in a wet environment (frequent, heavy rain
and/or prolonged tropical condensation) in which the IP66 degree of
protection is no longer sufficient and especially when there is a danger
that water may freeze.
To prevent water getting into the instrument in normal operation (e.g.
through the exhaust air openings) or the display being poorly legible,
please avoid the unfavorable installation positions illustrated in
figure 3-5.
40

A5E00214569-03
Figure 3-5 Favorable and unfavorable installation positions
If conditions oblige you to operate the positioner in a unfavorable

installation position, you can take additional precautionary measures to
prevent penetration by water.
NOTE
Never clean the positioner with a high pressure water jet because the
IP66 degree of protection is inadequate protection for this.
The necessary additional measures to prevent penetration by water depend on the installation position chosen and you may additionally require:
S screw-type gland with sealing ring (e.g. FESTO: CK 1 / 4PK6)

S plastic hose approx. 20 to 30 cm (e.g. FESTO PUN-- 8X1,25 SW)
S cable straps (number and length depends on local conditions)
Procedure
S Connect the pipes in such a way that rain water which runs along the
pipes can drip off before it reaches the terminal strip of the positioner.
S Check the electrical connections for perfect firm contact.

S Check the seal in the housing cover for damage and contamination.
Clean and replace if necessary.
S Mount the positioner if possible so that the sinter bronze silencer faces
downwards on the underside of the housing (vertical installation position). If this is not possible, the silencer should be replaced by a suitable
screw-type gland with a plastic hose.

A5E00214569-03
41

Assembly of the screw-type gland with plastic hose
S Unscrew the sinter bronze silencer from the exhaust air opening on
the underside of the housing.
S Screw the screw-type gland mentioned above into the exhaust air
opening.
S Mount the above mentioned plastic hose on the screw-type gland

and check the good fit.
S Fix the plastic hose with a cable strap to the fitting so that the
opening faces downwards.
S Make sure that the hose has no kinks and the exhaust air can flow
out unhindered.
3.3.2
Instructions for using positioners which are exposed to great

accelerations or vibrations
NOTICE
for explosion proof versions:
Only adjust the outer friction clutch (8, Fig.2-11, page 29). The internal
friction clutch (8, Fig.2-10 page 27 ) is fixed and, for the explosion
proof version, must not be adjusted.
The electro--pneumatic positioner features a friction clutch and a switchable drive and is, therefore, universally applicable for part--turn and
linear actuators. Thats why it is not necessary to take a zero--point into
consideration when implementing part--turn actuators. Similarly, there is
no need to ensure that the extension is symmetrically attached when
implementing linear actuators. In both cases, the work space can be
adjusted afterwards via the friction clutch.
The switchable drive can be used to adjust the positioner for short or
long strokes.
Large accelerating forces can occur on fittings subject to heavy mechanical wear and tear, such as openings which could break off, valves
subject to heavy vibrations as well as beating blast pipes. In some cases, these forces can far exceed the specifications. In extreme cases,
these forces could even cause the friction clutch to shift.
For these cases, the positioner is equipped with a position--securing
device for holding the friction clutch in place. Furthermore, it is also
possible to lock the transmission ratio selector into position, thus preventing it from shifting due to the influences stated above.
Both setting options are designated accordingly by icons on additional
signs (see Fig. 3-6 page 43).
42

A5E00214569-03

After you have mounted the positioner and commissioned it completely,
you can set the friction clutch torque as follows:
Procedure
S Plug a conventional 4 mm wide screwdriver into a slot in the yellow

wheel.
S Then turn the yellow wheel to the left with the screwdriver until it
snaps in audibly. This increases the torque of the friction clutch.
S A fixed friction clutch is recognizable from an approx. 1 mm wide

gap between the yellow and black wheel.
S If you have to make a zero point setting, e.g. after changing the
drive, please reduce the torque first by turning the yellow wheel to
the right stop. After the zero point setting, you can fix the friction
clutch as described above.
To lock the transmission ratio selector, takt the unit as factory set and
do as follows:
S Using a conventional flat headed screwdriver (approx. 4 mm wide)
turn the yellow wheel underneath the clamps to the left or right
according to your chosen setting (either 33_ or 90_) until it snaps in
audibly.
S In order to set the transmission ratio selector any locks in place
must first be released. Hence the yellow wheel must first be put into
the original factory set position in order to reset the transmission
ratio selector if necessary, e.g. after replacing the actuator.

External position
detection
Applications in which the measures described above are inadequate

are also conceivable. This applies for instance with continuous and
heavy vibration, increased or too low ambient temperatures and in the
case of nuclear radiation.
The separate attachment of position displacement sensor and
controller unit can help here. A universal component is available which
is suitable both for linear and part--turn actuators.
You require the following:
S The position detection system (order no. C73451--A430--D78). This

consists of a SIPART PS2 housing with integrated friction clutch,
built--in potentiometer and various dummy plugs and seals.
S or a Non--Contacting Position Sensor (e.g. 6DR4004--6N)

S The controller unit, any positioner version.
S The EMC filter module, this is a set together with cable clips and
M--20 screw--type cable gland and has the order number

C73451--A430--D23. The EMC filter module must be installed in the
positioner. The installation instructions enclosed with the EMC filter
module explain how to assemble the components.
S A 3--wire cable for connecting the components.

This EMC filter module always has to be used for the controller unit
whenever the external position detection unit C73451-A430-D78 is to
be replaced by a random drive--mounted potentiometer (resistance value 10 kOhm) or if a NCS sensor is to be installed.
44
WARNING
The explosion proof version may not be run together with the external
position detection system.

Electrical Connection
NOTE
Any necessary options modules must be installed before electrical
connection (see chapter 2.6, page 25).
N.B.: The transmission ratio selector can only be set when the
positioner is open. Therefore check this setting before closing the
positioner.
WARNING
The specifications of the examination certificate valid in your country
must be observed. Laws and regulations valid in your country must be
observed for the electrical installation in explosions hazardous areas.
In Germany these are for example:
-Working reliability regulations,
-Regulations for installing electrical equipment in hazardous areas,
DIN EN 60079--14 (in the past VDE 0165, T1).
It should be checked whether the available power supply, insofar as
this is required, is compliant with the power supply specified on the
rating plate and specified in the examination certificate valid in your
country.
If the intrinsically safe version is operated with a higher operating voltage by mistake, the positioner must no longer be used for intrinsically
safe application.
The explosion-proof positioner may only be supplied with electrical
power in areas in which the atmosphere may be potentially explosive
when the housing is closed.
The feed-though openings in the explosion-proof version for the
electronic connections must be sealed with EEX-d certified cable
glands or EEx-d certified plugs or an ignition lock must be mounted at
a maximum distance of 46 cm (18 inches) when using the
conduit-system.
The plastic housing is metal lined to increase the electromagnetic

compatibility (EMC) against high frequency radiation. This screen is
connected electrically to the threaded bushes shown in figure 3-12,
page 55.
The specified noise immunity and noise emission are only ensured if
the bus shield is fully effective.
54

A5E00214569-03
CAUTION
To discharge impulses under fault conditions, the positioner must be
connected via a low resistance to an equipotential bonding (ground
potential). For this the positioner in plastic housing is provided with an
additional cable. Connect this cable using the cable clip to the fieldbus
cable shield and to the equipotential bonding.
Devices in metal housings have a corresponding terminal on the outside of the housing, which also must be connected to equipotential
bonding.
Provide for suitable potential equibonding between the hazardous and
non-hazardous areas for applications in areas where there is a risk of
explosions.

Preparation of bus cable
For error-free communication the bus must be terminated at both ends

with a bus terminator. At the end nearest the control system, this is already assured by the terminator contained within the coupling or link.
At the far end of the bus this must be achieved by fitting an additional
terminator.
So as to avoid potential differences between individual equipment parts
and thus the risk of functional impairment, a suitable potential bonding
is to be provided. Information regarding dimensions and types can be
found in DIN VDE 0100 parts 410 and 540.
NOTE
Use standard M20 x 1.5 cable gland nuts to ensure leakage (IP-protection of the housing) and for the necessary tensile strength use
only cables with a cable diameter 8 mm, or for smaller diameters
use a suitable sealing insert.
NOTE for use in zone 2:
Non-sparking equipment for zone 2 may not be connected or disconnected under power in normal operation.
However, during installation or repair work the positioner may be connected or disconnected even under power (see also certificate for zone
2).

Safety position
The positioner is equipped with an additional input (terminal 81 [+] and

terminal 82 [--]) for driving to the safety position. After activating this
function this input must be supplied with uninterrupt +24 V, to allow normal positioning operation.
If this power supply is switched off or drops out, the air exhaust valve is
automatically opened and the drive will move to the pre-arranged safety
position, so that the drive cannot be activated using the keys on the
control unit or by means of the master switch. Communication is still
possible.
This function is activated by the coding bridge on the motherboard.
This is accessible after removing the module cover and must be moved
from the right position (as delivered) to the left position.

Pneumatic Connection
WARNING
For reasons of safety, the pneumatic power may only be supplied after
assembly when the positioner is switched to operating mode P manual
operation with electrical signal applied (as-delivered state, see figure
4-4, page 84).
NOTE
Note the air quality! Oil-free industrial air, solid content < 30 m, pressure

NOTE
In order for spring-loaded pneumatic actuators to be able to reliably
exploit the maximum possible stroke, the supply pressure must be
sufficiently greater than the maximum required final pressure of the
actuator.
After installing the device, check the pneumatic connections of the entire
assembly for leakage. Any leakage would cause not only continuous
consumption of compressed air but also would cause the positioner to
continually endeavor to compensate for the variance in position, leading
in time to premature wear of the whole control mechanism.

A5E00214569-03
63
3.6
Commissioning
Once the positioner has been fitted to a pneumatic actuator, it must be
provided with electrical and pneumatic auxiliary power.
The electrical auxiliary power can be provided via a bus interface or
separate power source with 15 to 30 V DC. Then you can adapt the
positioner to the respective actuator by parameterizing and initializing it.
Communication with a master is not necessary for this.
If the positioner has not been initialized it will be in the P Manual
Mode operating mode (which can also if necessary be attained by
PRST) -- NOINI will flash.
This initialization can be effected in three different ways:
S Automatic initialization
Initialization takes place automatically. Hereby the positioner determines the direction of action, the stem path and the angle of rotation, the adjusting times of the actuator one after the other and
adapts the control parameters to the dynamic behavior of the actuator.
S Manual initialization
The stem travel or angle of rotation of the actuator can be set manually, the other parameters are determined as in automatic initialization. This function is useful in actuators with soft limit stops.
S Copying initialization data (positioner exchange)
The initialization data of a positioner can be read out and copied to

another positioner. This enables a defective device to be changed
without having to interrupt an ongoing process by initialization.
Only a few parameters need to be set in the positioner prior to initialization. The others are defaulted so that they do not normally need to be
adjusted. You will have no problems with commissioning if you observe
the following points.
The possible operating modes and parameters, together with the adjustment capabilities and their effects are described in chapter 4 page
81 Local Operation.
NOTE
N.B.: The operating pressure should be at least one bar greater than is
necessary for closing/opening the valve during initialization. However,
the operating pressure may not be higher than the maximum
permissible operating pressure of the actuator.
N.B.: The transmission ratio selector can only be set when the
positioner is open. Therefore check this setting before closing the
housing.

7.

A5E00214569-03
Now move the actuator to the horizontal position of the lever. A

value between P48.0 and P52.0 should be visible in the display. If
this is not the case, adjust the slip clutch (8, figure 2-10, page 27)
until P50.0 is displayed with a horizontal lever. The more
accurately you hit this value, the more exactly the positioner can
determine the total stroke.

Copying initialization data (positioner exchange)

With this function you have the possibility of starting up a positioner
without running the initialization routine. This allows for example a positioner to be changed on a running system in which automatic or manual
initialization cannot be performed without disturbing the process.
NOTICE
Initialization (automatic or manual) should be performed as soon as
possible afterwards because only then can the positioner be optimally
adapted to the mechanical and dynamic properties of the actuator.
The following procedure describes how to replace a positioner when

using the National Configurator. If you use a different tool step 5 may
vary slightly.
80
1.
Prerequisite is that the positioner to be replaced and all ist

parameters is in the project database. The replacement instrument
should be online on the bus.
2.
Fix the actuator in its momentary position (by mechanical or

pneumatic means).
3.
Read and note the current position value of the positioner to be

replaced. If the electronics are defective, determine the current
position by measuring on the actuator or valve.
4.
Disassemble the positioner. Mount the lever arm of the positioner

on the replacement instrument. Mount the replacement instrument
on the valve. Move the gear switch to the same position as the
defective instrument.
5.
Now transfer all parameters from the projected positioner to the

new positioner. With the NI Configurator this can be done by right
clicking the appropriate blocks in the function block application
window, chosing Replace With ... and selecting the new blocks.
Do this also with the Transducer Block. In order to transfer the
parameter INIT_VALUES (Initialisation parameters), you have to
set SERVICE_UPDATE (Save/Reset) to 9 (Enable Write
INIT--Values), then click Write changes and set
SERVICE_UPDATE to 3 (Set device to state INIT). Now the
positioner is initilized with the same parameters as the old one.
6.
If the current position value on the display does not match the
noted value of the defective positioner, set the correct value with
the slip clutch.
7.
The positioner is now ready to operate. The accuracy and dynamic

behavior may be restricted in relation to correct initialization. The
position of the hard stops and the related maintenance data may
show deviations in particular. Therefore initialization must be
performed at the earliest opportunity.

A5E00214569-03
Local Operation
Local Operation
The following chapter describes the local operation of the positioner.

The local operation allows the configuration of many parameters, the
initialization of the positioner, and the manual control of the actuator
and the display of many diagnostic values.
All these actions can also be performed via bus communication. But
with the local operation feature you can carry out some fundamental
tasks without the need of a bus interface or a configuration tool.
4.1
Display
The LC display has two lines whereby the lines have different
segmentation. The elements of the top line consist of 7, those of the
bottom line of 14 segments. The contents of the display depend on the
selected operating mode (see chapter 4.3, page 84)
NOTE
If the positioner is operated in ranges with temperatures below --10 C
the liquid crystal display becomes sluggish and the display refresh rate
is reduced considerably.
Figure 4-1 shows you the various display options.

The meaning of further display capabilities is detailed in chapter 4.6
page 127.
4.2
Input keys
The positioner is operated by three keys (figure 4-2, page 83) the
function of which depends on the selected operating mode. In the
explosion-proof version of the positioner the input keys are underneath
a key cover which can be lifted up after loosening the cover screw.
NOTE
The input keys of the explosion-proof version must be covered to
prevent liquid getting in. The IP66/NEMA4x degree of protection is not
guaranteed when the housing is open or the key cover is open.
The housing cover must be removed to operate the keys in the normal
and intrinsically safe versions of the positioners.

(ex-factory state)
The display of the positioner shows you the current potentiometer

setting in the top line and NOINI flashes in the second line. You can
move the actuator with the decrement and increment key . In order
to adapt the positioner to your actuator, you have to change to the
Configuration menu. See also chapter 3.6, page 64 Commissioning.
Manual and automatic mode or output of alarms and position feedback
are possible after successful initialization.
Configuration and
initialization
for
To go to the Configuration menu, press the operation mode key
at least 5 seconds. In the Configuration menu you can adapt the
positioner individually to your actuator and start initialization. Only a few
parameters need to be set in the positioner prior to initialization. The
others are defaulted so that they do not normally need to be adjusted.
Which parameters you need to set and all other parameters are
explained in chapter 4.4, page 87 Parameters.
The configuration mode can be reported by outputting a
parameterizable fault message, a position feedback or output of limit
values A1 and A2 is not possible in configuration mode.

NOTE
The manual mode can be reported by outputting a parameterizable
fault message, a position feedback or output of limit values A1 and A2
is only possible in automatic mode.
NOTE
The positioner switches over to automatic mode automatically after an
electrical power failure.
Automatic mode
In automatic mode the positioner behaves according to the actual

modes of the transducer block and the analog output function block as
described in chapter 5.

Diagnostic display
In this operating mode you can have the current operating data (such
as number of strokes, number of changes in direction, number of faults
messages, etc.) displayed (see table 4-1).
From the automatic or manual mode you go to the diagnostic display
by simultaneously pressing all three keys for at least two seconds.
See chapter 4.5, page 111 for further information.
NOTE
The respective operating mode (manual or automatic) of the positioner
is retained when you switch to the diagnostic display, i.e. in automatic
operation the specified setpoint is still used for controlling and in manual operation the position last reached is retained.

Local Operation
NOTE
In particular if the positioner has previously been operated using a
different actuator, it must always be reinitialized in order to restore the
factory settings. The parameter 43.PRST is provided for this
purpose.
1.YFCT
[VALVE_TYPE]
Type of actuator
This is to match the positioner with the respective actuator and where
necessary to the position sensor being used. The following adjustment
capabilities are provided:
S YFCT = turn
This adjustment is necessary for the rotary actuator.
If turn is selected, the following parameter 2. YAGL is automatically set to 90_ and cannot be changed.
S YFCT = WAY (Factory setting)

This is necessary for a linear actuator. This allows the positioner to
compensate for the non-linearity that arises due to the conversion of
the linear movement of the linear actuator into the rotary movement
of the feedback shaft. For this the positioner is factory set so that it
shows between P 49.0 and P 51.0 when the arm on the feedback
shaft is vertical to the linear actuator spindle.
S YFCT = LWAY
This must be adjusted, if an external linear potentiometer is to be
connected to a linear actuator.
TIP: use this adjustment also for rotary actuators with reverse direction of control action.
S YFCT = ncSt
Use this when an NCS is fitted to a rotary actuator.
S YFCT = --ncSt
This must be set when an NCS is used with a rotary actuator with
reverse direction of control action.
S YFCT = ncSL
This must be adjusted if an NCS is to be connected to a linear actuator with the position measured directly (linear) from the NCS.
S YFCT = ncSLL
This must be adjusted if an NCS is to be connected to a linear actuator with the position converted by an arm into a rotary movement.

A5E00214569-03
89
Local Operation
NOTE
After LWAY, ncSt, --ncSt or ncSL have been adjusted, the parameter
3. YWAY will not be displayed.
2.YAGL
[TRANSM_ANGLE]
Rated angle of rotation of the feedback shaft

In rotary actuators, an angle of 90 is preset automatically by 1. YFCT
= turn (see above). In linear actuators (1. YFCT = WAY) a value of 33
or 90 can be selected depending on the stroke range:
S 33 for strokes 20 mm
S 90 for strokes > 20 mm
When using the lever up to 35 mm, both angles of rotation (33 and
90) are possible.
The long lever (> 35 mm stroke) is only designed for an angle of
rotation setting of 90. It is not part of the mounting kit set 6DR4004-8V
but must be ordered separately under order number 6DR4004-8L.
NOTE
The setting of the transmission ratio selector on the positioner (see
figure 2-2, page 19 and figure 2-3, page 20) must correspond to the
angle value selected under 2. YAGL.
3.YWAY
[TRANSM_
LENGTH]
Lever arm transmission
NOTE
The use of this parameter is optional. You only need to set this
parameter if you want to have the way in mm displayed at the end of
the initialization.
Selection of the lever arm range: serves to display the real stroke after
initialization.
This parameter is only relevant for linear actuator. If the parameter
value oFF is selected here, the real stroke is not displayed after
initialization.
NOTE
The specification YWAY must match the mechanical lever arm transmission. The carrier must be set to the value of the actuator stroke, if
this is not scaled to the next highest scaled value.

Local Operation
4.INITA
[SELF_CALIB_
COMMAND]
5.INITM
[no correspondence]
Automatic initialization (see chapter 3.6, page 64)

By selecting Strt and pressing the increment key
for at least 5
seconds, automatic initialization is started. The initialization process is
displayed by RUN 1 to RUN 5 (see figure 3-27, page 76 to figure
3-30, page 79).
Manual initialization
By selecting Strt and pressing the increment key
for at least 5
seconds, manual initialization is started. The manual initialization
process is described in chapter 3.6.3, page 68 and chapter 3.6.6, page
74.
NOTE
If the positioner has already been initialized, for INITA and INITM it is
possible to transfer it to its non-initialized state without changing the
remaining parameters by pressing the decrement key
for five
seconds.
6.TSUP
[TRAVEL_
RATE_UP]
Setpoint ramp UP
7.TSDO
[TRAVEL_
RATE_DOWN]
Setpoint ramp DOWN
and
The setpoint ramp is effective in automatic operation and limits the

speed of alteration of the active setpoint. When switching over from
manual operation to automatic the active setpoint is adjusted to the setpoint on the positioner with the setpoint ramp.
This bumpless manual/automatic switchover avoids excessive pressure
increases on long pipelines.
In the position TSUP = Auto the slower of the two travel times determined during initialization is used for the setpoint ramp. TSDO is then
ineffective.

With the parameters YA and YE the mechanical actuating distance

(from stop to stop) is limited to the set values. In this way the mechanical setting range of the actuator can be limited to the active flow and
the integral saturation of the commanding controller avoided.
NOTE
YE must always be set to greater than YA.
33.YNRM
[Y_NORM]
Manipulated variable feedback standardization (see figure 4-7, pg. 92

and 4-8, pg. 94)
With limiting of the manipulated variable (by 31.YA and 32.YE) two
different scalings are produced for the display and the position feedback via the current output (MPOS or FLOW).
The MPOS scaling shows the mechanical position (0 to 100%) between the hard stops of the initialization. This is not affected by the parameters 31.YA and 32.YE. The parameters 31.YA and 32.YE
are displayed in the MPOS-scale.
The FLOW-scale is the standardization (0 to 100%) to the range between 31.YA and 32.YE. The setpoint w (0 to 100%) is always referred to this range. This gives (also by using valve characteristics) a
quasi-flow-proportional display and position feedback Iy.
The setpoint is also shown in the appropriate scale on the display.

36.BIN
[BIN_IN_FUNCT]
Function of the binary input (on optional alarm module)

This parameter can be set individually depending on the purpose. The
direction of action can be adapted to an NCC or an NOC.
S BIN = on or --on
Digital messages of the periphery (e.g. pressure or temperature
switches) can be read out via the communication interface or lead to
responding of the fault message output by OR linking with other
messages.
S BIN = bLoc1
The Configuration operating mode is locked to prevent it being adjusted (e.g. by a wire jumper between terminals 21 and 22).
S BIN = bLoc2
If the binary input has been activated, manual operation is also lokked in addition to the Configuration operating mode.
S BIN = uP or doWn (contact closes) or --uP or --doWn (contact

opens).
When the binary input is activated, the actuator drive controls the
actuator in automatic mode through the values held in YA and YE.
S BIN (contact closes) = StoP or --StoP (contact opens).

With activated binary input the piezo-valves are blocked in automatic mode and the actuator remains in the last position. Leakage
messages can then be executed without initialization function.

40. FCT
[FAULT_FUNCT]
Function of the fault message output

If fault messages are used as a monitor for control non-conformities
over a period of time, they will be triggered in addition by the following
events also:
S Power failure
S Processor fault
S Actuator fault
S Valve fault
S Compressed air failure
S Threshold 3 error message of extended diagnostics, see also description to parameter 44.XDIAG.
Note that the fault message cannot be switched off, however it can be
suppressed (factory setting), if the actuator is set to non--automatic
mode. If it is wished to generate fault messages here also, the parameter FCT must be set to nA.
In addition there is also the facility to alternate the fault message using the status of the binary inputs. For this, set the parameter FCT to
nAb.
Select the setting -- if the fault message is to be sent inverted on the
alarm module or SIA module.
41. TIM
[DELAY_TIME]
Monitoring time for setting the fault messages

The set value(s) serves as a specification for the time within which the
positioner must have reached the controlled state. The corresponding
response threshold is specified with 42. LIM.
The fault message output is set on exceeding the set time.
NOTE
If the control function to close tightly is activated, for parameter
42. LIM the monitoring of the control deviation in each overrun direction (YCDO: < 0 %, YCUP: > 100 %) is disabled. This function is particularly useful for valves with a soft seating. For long term monitoring
of the end--stop positions, we recommend activating the parameters
G. ZERO and F. OPEN.
For more information on fault messages, see chapter 4.5.3 Online-Diagnostics, page 119.
42. LIM
[TOLERANCE_
BAND]
Response threshold of the fault message

Here a value (%) can be set for the permissible variable of control error
for releasing the fault message.
If the parameters 41. TIM and 42. LIM are both set to Auto (factory
setting), the fault message is set if the slow step zone is not reached
within a certain time. This time is 2 times the initialization travel time
within 5 to 95% of the actuating path and 10 times this time outside 10
to 90% of the actuating path.

previously has been operated at a different actuator.
NOTE
This function is not identical with the fieldbus parameter RESTART
with defaults. The latter clears all parameters of all blocks, PRST only
the locally visible transducer block parameters.
44.XDIAG
[EXT_DIAG]
Activation of the extended diagnostics

The extended diagnostics is deactivated at the factory, parameter 51 is
therefore at OFF. There are three operating modes for activating the
extended diagnostics:
S On1: The extended diagnostics is activated and the threshold 3

error messages are also output via the fault message output.
S On2: The extended diagnostics is activated, the threshold 2 error
messages are output via alarm output 2 and the threshold 3 error
messages are also output via fault message output.
S On3: The extended diagnostics is activated, the threshold 1 error
messages are output via alarm output 1, the threshold 2 error

messages are output via alarm output 2 and the threshold 3 error
messages are also output via the fault message output.
NOTE
Please note that the menu items of the extended diagnostics from
A. PST to P. PAVG are only displayed in the display after selecting
one of the three On operating modes.
With the factory setting, the parameters of menu items A to P are

and a start tolerance of 2%, a partial stroke test can only be triggered
during operation if the current position is between 48 and 52%.
Input of the step height of the partial stroke test within the range of
0.1 to 100.0%. The factory setting is 10.0%.
Input of the step direction of the partial stroke test. The following
options are available:
up, do (down), up do (up and down). If up is selected, the
actuator is moved in a controlled manner from its start position to the
target position (start position + step height) and then back to the
original position in a controlled way once the target position has been
reached. The procedure for the do option is the same but in the
opposite direction. With up do, the actuator first travels in a controlled
manner from its start position to the upper target position (start position
+ step height), then controlled from the upper to the lower target
position (start position -- step height). After reaching the lower target
position, it returns to its original position in a controlled manner.
Input of the interval for the cyclic partial stroke test within the range of
one day to 365 days.

A6.PSTIN
[PST.PST_REF_
TIME]
Partial stroke test reference step time

(PSTIN = Partial Stroke Test Initialization)
Measurement of the reference step time for the partial stroke test. After
the initialization of the device, the calculated (C = calculated) average
actuating time of the control valve is displayed in seconds in the form:
C ###.#. This time can be used as reference step time, however it is
only a rough guide value.
That is why it is recommended to measure the reference step time here
after the specification of the partial stroke test (parameters A1 to A5)
by pressing the Greater Than button for five seconds. In doing so,
rEAL is shown in the display. The device then automatically moves to
the set start position, performs the desired step and saves the time
required to do this. The time that is measured is the controlled
movement from start position to target position. After the succesful
measurement, this reference step time is shown in the display in the
form: ###.# seconds.
If a reference step is attempted without previous initialization of the
device, noini appears in the display. If the start position cannot be
approached or if the jump destination cannot be reached, Fdini
(Failed PST Initialization) is displayed.

Input of the factor for the threshold 1 error message. The factor 1
refers to the reference step time. If a specified partial stroke test results
e.g. in a reference step time of 1.0 second and factor 1 is used in the
factory setting of 1.5, the threshold 1 error message of the partial
stroke test is performed for a measuring time of 1.5 seconds.
stroke test is performed for a measuring time of 3.0 seconds.
stroke test is performed for a measuring time of 5.0 seconds. At the
same time, if this time threshold is exceeded, the excitation signal of
the actuator is cancelled to prevent any sudden breaking free and
overshooting of a valve that might be jammed or rusted in place.
The partial stroke test is thus stopped immediately, a threshold 3 error
is reported and the actuator is moved back to its original position.

General control valve malfunction

This parameter activates the dynamic monitoring of the control valve
reaction. To do this, the actual position sequence is compared to the
guide value and the expected position sequence, which allows
conclusions with regard to the correct operational behavior of the
control valve.
When the parameter is activated, the submenu for the general control
valve malfunctions from b1 to b5 opens. The function can be
configured there.
b1.TIM
[DEVIATION_DIAG.
DEVIATION_TIME]
Time constant of the low-pass filter

The time constant of the low-pass filter is determined during the
automatic initialization of the device. In the factory setting, parameter
b1 therefore indicates Auto.
If the user is very familiar with the process sequence or desires a
certain filter time constant for application-specific reasons, parameter
b1 can be set from one second to 400 seconds manually. One second
causes no damping, 400 seconds result in a strong damping effect.

Pneumatic leakage
This parameter is used to activate the function for the detection of a
pneumatic leakage. To do so, the changes of position and the internally
used controller output are recorded and filtered, depending on the
direction. The filter result provides a coefficient that allows the detection
of any leakage.
Note that the detection of a leak can only provided clear results for
spring-loaded actuators.
C1.LIMIT

LEAKAGE_LIMIT]
Limit for the leakage indicator

Sets the limit for the leakage indicator The leakage indicator is scaled
within the range of 0.0 to 100.0. Factory setting for the limit is 30.0.
In other words, there is leakage below this limit. A leak can be
expected if this value is exceeded.
To be able to make full use of the sensitivity of the detection process,
it is recommended to perform a ramp test with a calibrator after the
automatic initialization of the device. The ramp should cover the
standard operating range of the valve and correspond in steepness to
the approximate dynamic requirements of the application. During the
ramp test, parameter 15.ONLK of the diagnosics menu provides
information on the values shown by the leakage indicator. This allows
the limit for the leakage coefficient to be defined above the maximum
ramp test value.

Slipstick effect
This parameter is used to activate the function for the detection of a
slipstick effect. The device tries to detect sudden changes of the valve
position that indicate excess slipstick. If the device detects a slipstick,
the filtered step is saved as slipstick value. When the valve moves
normally again (without detection of a slipstick), the slipstick value is
reduced slowly.
Note that to avoid misinterpretations, for actuators with actuating times
below 1 s, the positioner cannot distinguish reliably between a normal
movement and a sudden change.

Number of operating hours in actuating range WT00 to WT95

If the positioner is in automatic mode, statistical information is
generated as to how long a valve or a flap was operated in which
section of the actuating range. For this purpose, the entire actuating
range (0 to 100 %) is divided into 8 sections (actuating ranges). The
positioner registers the current position continuously and increments
the operating hours counter that is assigned to the relevant section
(actuating range) every hour. This allows conclusions to be made about
past operating conditions and is in particular for the assessment of the
control characteristics of the control loop or of the entire control valve.
The actuating range is divided as follows:

4.5.3 Online-Diagnostic
Some important variables and parameters are monitored continuously
during operation. In the Configuration operating mode you can configure this monitoring so that the fault message output is activated when a
certain event such as exceeding a limit value occurs.
The following table shows which events can activate the fault message
output, how the parameters must be set for this event to be monitored,
when the fault message disappears again and where the possible
causes of the fault lie.
In automatic and manual operation response of the fault message
output on the display shows which is the fault message trigger. The two
digits at the bottom left indicate the corresponding error code. If several
triggers occur at the same time, these are displayed cyclically. The
device status that also includes all fault messages, can be called using
command #48 via HART.
The parameters of the extended diagnostics allow error messages to
be displayed in one, two or three levels. In addition to the fault
message output, alarm outputs 1 and 2 are then used. For this
purpose, parameter 44.XDIAG needs to be set according to the
following table:

Events which can activate the fault message output
See also parameter FAULT_MESSAGE of the transducer block. There

each error is bit coded.
Explanations of column Error codes:
1 Monitoring of control error
In automatic mode the error between setpoint and actual value is monitored continuously. The fault message is activated with unchanged control error according to the setting of the parameters 41. TIM, monitoring time for setting the fault messages and 42. LIM, response threshold
of the fault message. As soon as the control error drops back below the
response threshold, the fault message is reset.
2 Monitoring automatic operation
A fault message is generated when the instrument is not in the automatic mode at the appropriate parameter setting 40. FCT. In this way
the control system can be warned for example when the instrument has
been switched to manual operation or Configuration on site.
3 Binary input active
A fault message is generated when the digital input is activated at the
the corresponding setting of the parameter 40. FCT, function of the
fault message output and the parameter 36.BIN, function digital input.
This may be a switch for stuffing box monitoring, a temperature switch
or a limit value switch for example.

A5E00214569-03
121
Local Operation
4 Monitoring of number of strokes
5 Monitoring of number of changes of direction
The two values, number of strokes and number of changes of direction,
are compared to the threshold values on a continuous basis. These
values result from the parameters L1.LIMIT to L4.FACT3 and
O1.LIMIT to O4.FACT3. If they are exceeded, depending on the
operating mode of the extended diagnostics, the fault message output
reacts, and possibly also the alarm outputs. The two functions can
be deactivated by the parameter setting OFF for L. STRK or
O. DCHG.
6 Monitoring of the bottom hard stop (valve seat)
7 Monitoring of the top hard stop
Monitoring of the bottom hard stop is activated when the parameter
F. ZERO has a valueOFF. Errors of the valve seat can be detected
with this function for example. Exceeding of the limit value may hint at
deposits or foreign bodies in the valve seat. Exceeding the limit value
may be caused by wear of the valve seat. Mechanical maladjustment of
the position feedback may also trigger this error message.
Monitoring takes place every time the valve is in tight closing bottom
position. The current position is compared with the one determined during initialization as a bottom end stop. Activation of the tight closing bottom function (parameter 34.YCDO) is therefore a prerequisite.
Example: 3% is set as a value. Normally the setting 0% is adopted
when closed. If a value >3% or <--3% is determined instead, a fault is
reported.
The fault message remains activated until either a subsequent
monitoring remains within the tolerance or a new initialization is
performed. The deactivation of the monitoring (F. ZERO=OFF) also
clears any existing fault message.
This monitoring function supplies no useful results when the stops have
not been determined automatically in initialization but the limits set
manually (manual initialization5.INITM).
An appropriate diagnostic is made for the top hard stop. The limit value
for this is set with the parameter G. OPEN. Activation of the tight closing top function (parameter 35.YCUP) is therefore a prerequisite.
8 Monitoring of the dead band adaptation
If, during the automatic adaptation of the dead zone (parameter
30.DEBA=Auto) the dead zone increases disproportionately during
operation, this is an indication of a fault in the system (e.g. significantly
increased stuffing box friction, play in the position displacement sensor,
leakage). Therefore a limit can be specified for this value (E1.LEVL3,
threshold for dead band monitoring) that activates the fault message
output if it is exceeded.

A5E00214569-03
Local Operation
9
Partial stroke test exceeds reference step time

This error message appears on the one hand if a manual or cyclic
partial stroke test is triggered and the test cannot be started because
the valve is not within the start tolerance range. The error message
also appears if one of the three thresholds of the partial stroke test that
are a result of the reference step time (A6.PSTIN) times factors
(A7.FACT1 to A9.FACT3) is violated. How serious the error message
is, can be seen at the bar graph on the right side of the display. At the
same time, the severity of the error message is output via the fault
message output or the alarm outputs, according to the operating mode
of the extended diagnostics.
10

The monitoring of the operational behavior triggers if the actual valve
position leaves a narrow corridor between guide value and expected
position sequence. In this case, the deviation between expected and
actual position sequence is filtered and output and compared to the set
thresholds that are the result of the limit (b2.LIMIT) times the factors
(b3.FACT1 to b5.FACT3).
11
Pneumatic leakage
This error message appears if the leakage indicator exceeds the set
thresholds. Note that the function can only take effect with its entire
sensitivity if a ramp test is performed to set the leakage indicator after
initialization (see Explanations on C1.LIMIT).
12
Slipstick effect too high

If the slipstick of the control valve is increased during operation of if an
increasing number of slip jumps are detected, the relevant limits can be
exceeded, resulting in an error message.
13
Temperature fallen short of

This error message appears if the lower temperature limit thresholds
are fallen short of.
14
Temperature exceeded
This error message appears if the upper temperature limit thresholds
are exceeded.
15
Monitoring of the position average

If a position average is calculated when a comparison interval passes
that deviates from the reference value by more than the set thresholds,
this error message triggers.

Optimization of the control data

The data automatically determined during initialization for control quality are optimized for short duration commands with small overshoots. In
special cases (e.g. extremely small and specially quick actuators or
when operating with boosters) it can however occur that these data
need to be revised to achieve quick responses or heavy damping. The
following six parameters are available for this purpose:
This determines for any sense of actuation the smallest drive move13 Pulse length up
14 Pulse length down ment pulse length. The optimum value is dependent particularly on the
volume of the drive. Small values will lead to small actuation increments and frequent control drive activations. Note that if the value is
too small no movement will result. If drive volumes are large, then it is
better to use larger actuation increments. Note also that large actuation
increments will still lead to large movements for small drives.
17 Short step zone up

18 Short step zone down
The short step zone is the range in which the control deviation is between the fast step zone and the deadband. In this zone the drive is
activated in pulses.
If the value is small, even small changes of setpoint will evoke relatively
large positioning speeds and can thus lead to overshoots. If the value
is large, the overshoots will be reduced, particularly on large changes
of setpoint but will lead to slow positioning speeds, particularly as the
target setpoint is approached closely.
34 Prediction up
35 Prediction down
These parameters operate on the damping factor and have the effect of
adjusting the control dynamics.
If the value is small, responses will be quick but possibly with overshoots. If the value is large, response will be slow but without overshoots.
It is recommended that first an automatic initialization is performed and only thereafter that the
positioner parameters are matched to any special requirements.
TIP: So as to have a fixed reference value, it is advantageous for special control optimization
to set a fixed value for the dead band (parameter DEBA) instead of Auto.
The above parameters are usually selected from the diagnostics menu and activated for
general adjustment by pressing the increment or decrement key. Any adjustment to a
parameter will be immediately effective. This means the effect of the new values on the control
results can be immediately tested.
On leaving the diagnostic menu the activation of the parameter for adjustment will be deactivated again.

5.1.2 Addressing
Every fieldbus device must have a unique node address and physical
device tag for the fieldbus to operate properly. The node address must
be unique within the link (segment), the physical device tag must be
unique within the whole network.
When a SIPART PS2 FF leaves the factory, it has a unique physical
device tag, which is a concatenation of the string SIPART PS2 FF
and part of the serial number. The node address is set to the value 22.
When configuring the device, the node address must be set to a value
which is unique within the link. To avoid address conflicts, the SIPART
PS2 FF sets its address automatically to one of the temporary default
addresses of 248 to 251, if it detects another device with the same
node address.
5.1.3 Configuration
For the configuration of the SIPART PS2 FF you need
S the Device Description

S the capability file (for offline configuration)
S a configuration tool such as National Instruments NIFBUS--Configurator or the tool integrated in your control system
The Device Description (DD) describes in machine--readable format all

the information available at the fieldbus interface. It also contains information how to display information to the user and how to arrange the
parameters in hierarchical menus. Another element of the DD is a number of so--called methods, which carry out sequences of actions to
make some configuration steps easier. Extensive help texts are also
included in the DD to describe the meaning and handling of the various
parameters.
Hosts and configuration tools can use the information contained in the
DD to generate a user friendly configuration surface.
The DD consists of two files:
S 0201.ffo (DD binary)

S 0201.sym (Symbol information)
The capability file (020101.cff) contains all information necessary for
offline configuration.
Please refer to the manual of your configuration tool or control system
how to install the files.
NOTE
Many of the parameters can be set directly via the three keys and the
local display. This way you can perform certain tasks such as the
initialization without the need of a fieldbus interface and configuration
tool. You only need to supply the device with electrical and pneumatic
power. See also chapter 4, page 81 Local Operation.

Resource Block (RB2)
5.2.1 Overview
The Resource block contains data that is specific to the hardware that
is associated with the resource. This includes the device type and revision, manufacturer ID, serial number, and resource state. All data is
modeled as Contained, so there are no links to this block. The data is
not processed in the way that a function block processes data, so there
is no function schematic.
NOTE
The resource block must be in automatic mode for any function blocks
in the device to execute.
5.2.2 Parameter description

The Resource Block contains all standard parameters as specified in
[FF--891--1.5] and some manufacturer specific parameters. These include additional static information about the device and several counters for operating time. For detailed information see the following table.

Analog Output Function Block (AO)
5.3.1 Overview
The AO block processes the setpoint SP and sends it to the analog
output channel of the transducer block. The source of SP depends on
the actual block mode and can be the parameter SP itself (in mode
AUTO), the input CAS_IN (in mode CAS) or the value of RCAS_IN (in
mode RCAS). In mode MAN the output OUT can be set directly to the
desired value.
The actual position of the valve (parameter FINAL_POSITION_VALUE)
is received from the transducer block and scaled to get the actual process value PV. Either PV or SP can be used to feed the back calculation output BKCAL_OUT and RCAS_OUT.
The block supports cascade initialization to allow upstream control
blocks to switch bumplessly from manual to automatic mode.
The AO has a faultstate behavior to react if the communication with the
upstream block fails. See parameters FSTATE_TIME, FSTATE_VAL
and IO_OPTS.
Simulation is possible with the parameter SIMULATE. The simulation
enable jumper has to be set for this function. When simulation is active,
the transducer block is ignored and the READBACK value and status
are taken from SIMULATE_VALUE and SIMULATE_STATUS.
The execution time of the AO is 60 ms with a minimum period time of
60 ms.

Use Fault State value on restart
Use the value of FSTATE_VAL(_D) if the device is restarted, otherwise
use the non--volatile value. This does not act like Fault State, just uses
the value.
Target to Man if Fault State activated
Set the target mode to Man, thus losing the original target, if Fault
State is activated. This latches an output block into the manual mode.
Use PV for BKCAL_OUT
The BKCAL_OUT value is normally the working SP. This option
changes it to the PV.
STATUS_OPTS

Propagate Fault Backward
If the status from the actuator is Bad, Device failure or Fault State Active or Local Override is active, propagate this as Bad, Device Failure
or Good Cascade, Fault State Active or Local Override to BKCAL_OUT
respectively without generating an alarm. The use of these sub--status
in BKCAL_OUT is determined by this option. Through this option, the

Analog Output Transducer Block (AOTB)
5.4.1 Overview
The transducer block is the interface to the physical hardware. It decouples the AO function block from the hardware details of the positioner.
The FINAL_VALUE of the AOTB is feed by the output OUT of the AO
(note that AO parameter CHANNEL must be set to 1). The
FINAL_VALUE can be converted by standard or user defined
characteristics and can be rate limited. The result is used as setpoint to
the servo controller, which compares it with the actual position and
generates the appropriate control signals for the piezo valve unit. The
actual position value is derived from the signal of a position sensor,
processed by a scaling and correction block. The value is then
back--calculated by the inverted characteristic to serve as position
readback to the AO (FINAL_POSITION_VALUE).
Several parameters serve to configure the diagnosis and monitoring
features of the SIPART PS2 FF.
The transducer block supports modes Automatic and Out of Service. It
can only be switches to Automatic after the positioner has been initialized (see chapter 3.6, page 64 Comissioning).
In Automatic mode the setpoint FINAL_VALUE can be directly written
for test purpose, if the AO function block is set to Out of Service.
Local operation modes can have priority over the block actual mode,
see chapter 4.3, page 84 for details.

valve. There are many additional manufacturer specific parameters to
allow a perfect adaptation to all kind of actuators and valves and provide many useful information about the armature and the process.

Alarm function (AFCT)

Read & Write
Description/Format
The positioner can report the exceeding (Max.) or dropping below (Min) of a specified stroke or angle of rotation. The response of the alarms is related to the mechanical position (see
TRAVEL_LIMIT_DOWN, TRAVEL_LIMIT_UP and Y_NORM).
The alarms are reported by the alarm module (option) and by
BINARY_STATUS.
The direction of action of the alarm can be set to High active
(e.g. Alarm 1: Min, Alarm 2: Max) or Low active (e.g. Alarm 1:
/Min, Alarm 2: /Max).
0: Off, Without function.

Default value:
0 ( Off, Without function )
The response threshold (0 to 100%) for Alarm 1 is related to the

mechanical way (see TRAVEL_LIMIT_DOWN,
TRAVEL_LIMIT_UP and Y_NORM). Note, if the alarm is outsite
TRAVEL_LIMIT_DOWN / UP, the alarm can only occure, when
FINAL_VALUE_CUTTOFF_HI / LO is activated.
Depending on the parameterization of the alarm function
(ALARM_FUNC), the Alarm is activated on exceeding (Max) or
dropping below (Min) this response threshold.

The setpoint ramp is effective in automatic operation and limits

the speed of alteration of the active setpoint.
When switching over from automatic operation to manual operation , the time can be specified with TRAVEL_RATE_UP /
TRAVEL_RATE_DOWN in which the active setpoint is to be
adapted to the setpoint applied to the device in the upward /
downward movement.But movement cannot be faster than
shown in ACT_STROKE_TIME_UP /
ACT_STROKE_TIME_DOWN.
In the position TSUP = AUTO (value = --120) the slower of the
two travel times determined during initialization is used for the
setpoint ramp. The parameter TSDO is then ineffective.

PID Function Block (PID)
5.5.1 Overview
The PID function block implements a PID control algorithm. The source
of setpoint SP depends on the actual block mode and can be the parameter SP itself (in mode AUTO), the input CAS_IN (in mode CAS) or
the value of RCAS_IN (in mode RCAS). In mode MAN the output OUT
can be set directly to the desired value.
The Process Value to be controlled is connected to the IN input. This
value is passed through a filter whose time constant is PV_FTIME.
There is a switch for BYPASS, which is available to the operator if the
Bypass Enable control option is true. Bypass is used in secondary cascade controllers that have a bad PV. The Bypass Enable option is necessary because not all cascade control schemes will be stable if BYPASS is true. BYPASS can only be changed when the block mode is
Man or O/S. While it is set, the value of SP, in percent of range, is
passed directly to the target output, and the value of OUT is used for
BKCAL_OUT. When the mode is changed to Cas, the upstream block
is requested to initialize to the value of OUT. When a block is in Cas
mode, then on the transition out of bypass, the upstream block is requested to initialize to the PV value, regardless of the Use PV for
BKCAL_OUT option.
GAIN, RESET, and RATE are the tuning constants for the P, I, and D
terms, respectively. Gain is a dimensionless number. RESET and
RATE are time constants expressed in seconds. There are existing
controllers that are tuned by the inverse value of some or all of them,
such as proportional band and repeats per minute. The human interface to these parameters should be able to display the users preference.
If RESET is set to infinity, the integral part of the PID has no effect during normal operation. But it is still used interally to allow bumpless
switching from Manual to Automatic mode by adjusting the working
point accordingly. If RESET is set to 0s, the integral part is set to zero,
thus giving a fixed working point.
The derivative part defined by RATE is smoothend by a first order filter
to reduce the effect of process noise. The time constant of this filter is
0.2*RATE, if its not limited by the loop time.
The Direct Acting control option, if true, causes the output to increase
when the PV exceeds the SP. If false, the output will decrease when
the PV exceeds the SP. It will make the difference between positive
and negative feedback, so it must be set properly, and never changed
while in an automatic mode. The setting of the option must also be
used in calculating the limit state for BKCAL_OUT.
The output supports the feed forward algorithm. The FF_VAL input
brings in an external value which is proportional to some disturbance in
the control loop. The value is converted to percent of output span using
the values of parameter FF_SCALE. This value is multiplied by the
FF_GAIN and added to the target output of the PID algorithm. If the
status of FF_VAL is Bad, the last usable value will be used, because
this prevents bumping the output. When the status returns to good, the
block will adjust its integral term to maintain the previous output.
A5E00214569-03
203
The output supports the track algorithm.
There is an option to use either the SP value after limiting or the PV
value for the BKCAL_OUT value.

These are options the user may select to alter the calculation done in
the PID block.
Bypass Enable
This parameter, if true, allows BYPASS to be set. Some control algorithm applications cannot provide closed loop control if bypassed.

A5E00214569-03
SP--PV Track in Man
Permits the setpoint to track the process variable when the target mode
of the block is Man.
SP--PV Track in ROut
mode of the block is ROut.
SP--PV Track in LO or IMan
mode of the block is LO or IMan.
SP Track retained target
Permits the setpoint to track the RCas or Cas parameter based on the
retained target mode when the actual mode of the block is IMan, LO,
Man, or ROut. When SP--PV track options are enabled, then SP Track
retained target will have precedence in the selection of the value to
track when the actual mode is Man, IMan, Rout, and LO.
Direct Acting
Defines the relationship between a change in PV and corresponding
change in output. When Direct is selected, an increase in PV results in
an increase in the output.
Track Enable
This enables the external tracking function. If true, the value in
TRK_VAL will replace the value of OUT if TRK_IN_D becomes true and
the target mode is not Man.
Track in Manual
This enables TRK_VAL to replace the value of OUT when the target
mode is Man and TRK_IN_D is true. The actual mode will then be LO.
Use PV for BKCAL_OUT
The BKCAL_OUT and RCAS_OUT values are normally the working
SP. If this option is enabled, then the PV value will be used after the
cascade is closed.
Obey SP limits if Cas or RCas
Normally the setpoint will not be restricted to the setpoint limits except
when entered by a human interface device. However, if this option is
selected, the setpoint will be restricted to the setpoint absolute limits in
the Cas and RCas modes.
No OUT limits in Manual
Do not apply OUT_HI_LIM or OUT_LO_LIM when target and actual
modes are Man. Trust the operator to do the right thing.
STATUS_OPTS
Options which the user may select in the block processing of status.
IFS if BAD IN
Set Initiate Fault State status in the OUT parameter if the status of the
IN parameter is BAD.

A5E00214569-03
215
IFS if BAD CAS_IN
Set Initiate Fault State status in the OUT parameter if the status of the
CAS_IN parameter is BAD.
Use Uncertain as Good
If the status of the IN parameter is Uncertain, treat it as Good. Otherwise, treat it as BAD.
Target to Manual if BAD IN
Set the target mode to Man if the status of the IN parameter is BAD.
This latches a PID block into the Man state if the input ever goes bad.
Set the output status of an input or calculation block to uncertain if the
actual mode of the block is Man.Target to Next Permitted Mode if BAD
CAS_IN
Set the target mode to next permitted mode if the target mode is CAS
and the status of CAS_IN is BAD. This latches a control block into the
next permitted mode if the CAS_IN is being used in control and the status goes bad.
SHED_OPTS

0 = Undefined -- Invalid
1 = Normal shed, normal return -- Actual mode changes to the next
lowest priority non--remote mode permitted but returns to the
target remote mode when the remote computer completes the
initialization handshake.
2 = Normal shed, no return -- Target mode changes to the next lowest
priority non--remote mode permitted. The target remote mode is
lost, so there is no return to it.
3 = Shed to Auto, normal return
4 = Shed to Auto, no return -- Target mode changes to Auto on
detection of a shed condition.
5 = Shed to Manual, normal return
6 = Shed to Manual, no return -- Target mode changes to Man on
detection of a shed condition. When the target mode is set to
Manual, the Retained bits will be set to zero (0).
7 = Shed to Retained target, normal return
8 = Shed to Retained target, no return
(change target to retained target)

Technical Data
Service and Maintenance
The positioner is largely maintenance-free. The positioners are fitted

with filters in the pneumatic connections as protection against coarse
particles of dirt. This dirt will be deposited under pressure on to the filter
and the filters may clog and impair the function of the positioner. In this
case the filters can be cleaned as follows.
Positioner in metal housing and explosion-proof version
1. Switch off the pneumatic power supply and remove the pipes.
2. Remove the metal filters carefully from the holes and clean (e.g.
with compressed air).
3. Insert the filters.
4. Re-connect the pipes and supply pneumatic energy.
Positioner in plastic housing

Removal
1. Switch off the pneumatic power supply and remove the pipes.
2. Unscrew the cover
3. Remove the three screws from the pneumatic connector strip.
4. Remove the filters and O-rings behind the connector strip.
5. Clean the filters (e.g. with compressed air).
Installation
6. First insert the filters in the recesses in the plastic housing and then
place the O-rings on the filters.
7. Align the pneumatic connector strip on the two lugs and screw tight
with the three self-tapping screws.

A5E00214569-03

Technical Data
Important:
Make sure that the same thread is used. To do this turn the screws
counterclockwise until they snap into the thread audibly. Only then
should you tighten the screws.
8. Replace the cover and screw it tight.
9. Re-connect the pipes and supply pneumatic energy.
Repair/Upgrade
DANGER
Electrostatic charging must be prevented in hazardous areas. These
could be caused by example when cleaning the positioner in plastic
housing with a dry cloth.
Faulty equipment should be sent to the repair department with details

of the fault and its origin. When ordering replacement equipment,
please specify the serial number of the original equipment. You will find
the serial number on the type plate.
Address of the responsible repair location, your contact, lists of spare
parts etc. can all be found on the Internet, under:

Scope of delivery
Scope of Delivery/Spare parts/Accessories
The positioner and its options modules are delivered as separate units
and in different versions. positioners and options modules for operation
in hazardous areas and non-hazardous areas are available. These versions are identified respectively by a special rating plate.

A5E00214569-03
WARNING
In the combination of components it must be ensured that only positioners and options modules are combined which are approved for the
respective area of application. This applies especially for safe
operation of the positioner in areas in which the atmosphere is potentially explosive (zone 1 and 2). The instrument categories (2 and 3) of
the instrument itself and those of its options must be observed.
