6. MODULATING DUTY CENTRONIK OPERATION.
The selector being in LOCAL mode, the Modulating CENTRONIK will operate as a ON/OFF duty CENTRONIK.
To operate the actuator, use the front panel buttons OPEN, CLOSE, STOP an DES.
The selector being in REMOTE position, the CENTRONIK will operate on MODULATING duty.
The CENTRONIK can also be operated by a serial line. These are the communication´s characteristics:
Transmission speed: 9600 BPS
Character format: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, parity even and 1 stop bit.
For more information about the characteristic of the protocol used, such as message format and message
sequence, refer to "Centronik operation. Serial line" brochure.
The CENTRONIK software has a "movement detection" funtion. If during the next 6 seconds after the last order
noshaftmovementisdetectedtheunitwillstoptheoperation.Aftercorrectingtheproblem,theSTOPpushbutton
be pressed to reset the unit.
The CENTRONIK also incorporates a phase missing and an inverse phase connection detection system. Both
ofthem are indicated inthe front panel LEDs,and it automatically adaptsits operation to theorder of the phases
in such a way that the turning sense is correct.
Every CENTRONIK is provided with two main fuses. If needed, they should be changed as follows:
1- Unscrew the electrical connection cover.
2- Unscrew the correspondant fuseholder and change the fuse. Standard 20 x 5 mm 500 mA normal blow
fuses are used.
3- Screw both fuseholder and electrical connection back. Check the proper connection, the state of the
oring seal and the proper instalation of the latter, greasing it slightly. Fasten the 4 screws crosswise.
4- Tighten cable glands to ensure enclosure IP67 (IP68 on request).
CAUTION Make sure a proper ground (GND) connection og the unit is done.

1. ELECTRIC ACTUATORS MODULATING DUTY
Modulation in electric actuators consists in positioning the actuated element according to a control input signal.
This input signal can be a current signal (0/4-20 mA) or a voltage signal (0-10V.). The received input signal is
comparedwiththesignalreceivedfromtheelectronicpostiontransmitter,TPS. Once both signals are compared,
it is determined whether is higher, equal or lower than the other, and according to this the motor is operated in
the sense needed to reduce this difference.
2. CENTRONIK ELECTRIC ACTUATORS MODULATING DUTY DESCRIPTION.
The Centronik modulating duty is an electronic unit able to control any Centork electric actuator´s operation in
modulating duty.
The unit consists of several PCBs containing a microprocessor, so the unit should be handled very carefully.
The Centronik modulating duty has three main operating modes selectable by the front panel selector: LOCAL,
REMOTE and OFF.
In the OFF position, the actuator remains connected but does not work.
In the LOCAL mode, the Centronik modulating duty only follows the front panel pushbuttons operation, the
same as in the Centronik On/Off Duty. In the REMOTE mode, the operation is made via the remote inputs
received through the users connector, or via RS-485 serial line.
The CENTRONIK unit is part of a complete CENTORK ELECTRIC ACTUATOR. All the points stated in the
“Electric actuators installation and maintenance manual” should be followed.
Both “CENTRONIK users manual” and “Electric actuators installation and maintenance manual” are supplied
together.
Fig. 1
In the front panel (fig. 1), the user will find the following described items:
Open pushbutton
This is the pushbutton used to make the actuator run in the Open direction in LOCAL
mode.
Stop pushbutton
This is the button used to stop any Open/Close operation in LOCAL mode.
It will be also used to reset the unit after any failure.
5.16. Change of password.
Each time we go through this section, the CENTRONIK switches on L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 in red colour.
will be displayed, press
choose between and . In order to confirm has to be pressed twice. If after the first time
or is pressed, the new password can be chosen again.
CAUTION Password changing, is a delicate operation. Write it down.
5.15. Data Logging.
In this submenu it is possible to know the progression of a set of operational data referring to the actuator along
its operating life.
is displayed and after pressing the values of the stored data are displayed.
In order to display the different data, place on the option to be read and after pressing the Centronik will
startto display the value(as an example, ifthe number of closingshave been 1.357, thecontrol will display “13”,
“57”, “ “, “13”, “57”, “ “, “13”, “57”, “ “,) until is pressed again; then the Centronik will display the next data to
be read. There will always be a blank space to mark the beggining of a new data.
Data available:
Nr. of openings by limit switching.
Nr. of openings by torque switching.
Nr. of closings by limit switching.
Nr. of closing by torque switching.
Total running hours.
Nr. of trippings of the motor thermoswitches.
Nr. of starts
All these data can be obtained through the serial line. For more information refer to "Centronik operation. Serial
line" brochure.
5.14. Control input signal and valve position setting.
Inorder to achieve a high overall accuracy, the maximum control inputignal and thevalve open position have to
be set together. Very important: the electronic position transmitter TPS should have been already adjusted
correctly according to the “ Electric Actuators Instalation and Maintenance Manual” in order to make a correct
control input signal setting.
Before making the calibration, the valve should be brought to the maximum opening position, therefore
the TPS should be supplying the maximum current.

1. ELECTRIC ACTUATORS MODULATING DUTY
Modulation in electric actuators consists in positioning the actuated element according to a control input signal.
This input signal can be a current signal (0/4-20 mA) or a voltage signal (0-10V.). The received input signal is
comparedwiththesignalreceivedfromtheelectronicpostiontransmitter,TPS. Once both signals are compared,
it is determined whether is higher, equal or lower than the other, and according to this the motor is operated in
the sense needed to reduce this difference.
2. CENTRONIK ELECTRIC ACTUATORS MODULATING DUTY DESCRIPTION.
The Centronik modulating duty is an electronic unit able to control any Centork electric actuator´s operation in
modulating duty.
The unit consists of several PCBs containing a microprocessor, so the unit should be handled very carefully.
The Centronik modulating duty has three main operating modes selectable by the front panel selector: LOCAL,
REMOTE and OFF.
In the OFF position, the actuator remains connected but does not work.
In the LOCAL mode, the Centronik modulating duty only follows the front panel pushbuttons operation, the
same as in the Centronik On/Off Duty. In the REMOTE mode, the operation is made via the remote inputs
received through the users connector, or via RS-485 serial line.
The CENTRONIK unit is part of a complete CENTORK ELECTRIC ACTUATOR. All the points stated in the
“Electric actuators installation and maintenance manual” should be followed.
Both “CENTRONIK users manual” and “Electric actuators installation and maintenance manual” are supplied
together.
Fig. 1
In the front panel (fig. 1), the user will find the following described items:
Open pushbutton
This is the pushbutton used to make the actuator run in the Open direction in LOCAL
mode.
Stop pushbutton
This is the button used to stop any Open/Close operation in LOCAL mode.
It will be also used to reset the unit after any failure.
5.16. Change of password.
Each time we go through this section, the CENTRONIK switches on L1, L2, L3, L4 and L5 in red colour.
will be displayed, press
choose between and . In order to confirm has to be pressed twice. If after the first time
or is pressed, the new password can be chosen again.
CAUTION Password changing, is a delicate operation. Write it down.
5.15. Data Logging.
In this submenu it is possible to know the progression of a set of operational data referring to the actuator along
its operating life.
is displayed and after pressing the values of the stored data are displayed.
In order to display the different data, place on the option to be read and after pressing the Centronik will
startto display the value(as an example, ifthe number of closingshave been 1.357, thecontrol will display “13”,
“57”, “ “, “13”, “57”, “ “, “13”, “57”, “ “,) until is pressed again; then the Centronik will display the next data to
be read. There will always be a blank space to mark the beggining of a new data.
Data available:
Nr. of openings by limit switching.
Nr. of openings by torque switching.
Nr. of closings by limit switching.
Nr. of closing by torque switching.
Total running hours.
Nr. of trippings of the motor thermoswitches.
Nr. of starts
All these data can be obtained through the serial line. For more information refer to "Centronik operation. Serial
line" brochure.
5.14. Control input signal and valve position setting.
Inorder to achieve a high overall accuracy, the maximum control inputignal and thevalve open position have to
be set together. Very important: the electronic position transmitter TPS should have been already adjusted
correctly according to the “ Electric Actuators Instalation and Maintenance Manual” in order to make a correct
control input signal setting.
Before making the calibration, the valve should be brought to the maximum opening position, therefore
the TPS should be supplying the maximum current.
will be displayed, press
on the display indicator a blinking value will appear, next press + simultaneously and the value will stop
blinking. Press to record the value into the memory and return to displaying .
Note: Non calibration of input signal, will cause malfunction of the actuator.

6. MODULATING DUTY CENTRONIK OPERATION.
The selector being in LOCAL mode, the Modulating CENTRONIK will operate as a ON/OFF duty CENTRONIK.
To operate the actuator, use the front panel buttons OPEN, CLOSE, STOP an DES.
The selector being in REMOTE position, the CENTRONIK will operate on MODULATING duty.
The CENTRONIK can also be operated by a serial line. These are the communication´s characteristics:
Transmission speed: 9600 BPS
Character format: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, parity even and 1 stop bit.
For more information about the characteristic of the protocol used, such as message format and message
sequence, refer to "Centronik operation. Serial line" brochure.
The CENTRONIK software has a "movement detection" funtion. If during the next 6 seconds after the last order
noshaftmovementisdetectedtheunitwillstoptheoperation.Aftercorrectingtheproblem,theSTOPpushbutton
be pressed to reset the unit.
The CENTRONIK also incorporates a phase missing and an inverse phase connection detection system. Both
ofthem are indicated inthe front panel LEDs,and it automatically adaptsits operation to theorder of the phases
in such a way that the turning sense is correct.
Every CENTRONIK is provided with two main fuses. If needed, they should be changed as follows:
1- Unscrew the electrical connection cover.
2- Unscrew the correspondant fuseholder and change the fuse. Standard 20 x 5 mm 500 mA normal blow
fuses are used.
3- Screw both fuseholder and electrical connection back. Check the proper connection, the state of the
oring seal and the proper instalation of the latter, greasing it slightly. Fasten the 4 screws crosswise.
4- Tighten cable glands to ensure enclosure IP67 (IP68 on request).
CAUTION Make sure a proper ground (GND) connection og the unit is done.
