Principle of operation
2 Principle of operation
The electronic limit switch is designed for attachment to pneumatic actuators. The current
valvepositionismeasuredwithoutcontactusingamagnet(onascrew)positionedcentrically
ontheactuatorshaft.Thescrewwithmagnetdoesnotneedtobeadjusted.TheAMR(aniso-
tropicmagnetoresistive)sensorlocatedinthedevicetogetherwiththemeasuringelectronics
(1)candetectthedirectionalchangeoftheappliedmagneticeldand,asaresult,sensethe
movement of the actuator.
Thepneumaticactuatorisoperatedbyasolenoidvalve(6,8)whichconvertsthesignalis-
sued by the control system into a binary pressure signal.
2.1 Versions
Versionwithintegratedsolenoidvalve(Type3738-50-xxx4x00x1x00x0)
The solenoid valve is integrated into the housing of the electronic limit switch. The electronic
limit switch and the solenoid valve are powered by the connected FOUNDATION™eldbus
two-wirecableaccordingtoIEC61158-2.
Versionforexternalsolenoidvalve(Type3738-50-xxx0x00x1x00x0)
The electronic limit switch and the external solenoid valve are powered by the connected
FOUNDATION™eldbustwo-wirecableaccordingtoIEC61158-2.
2.1.1 Forcedventing
Theelectroniclimitswitchcanoptionallybettedwithaforcedventing function. This func-
tionisactivatedwhenthesolenoidvalveisde-energizedafterthepowersupplyisinterrupt-
ed,causingtheactuatortomovethecontrolvalvetoitsfail-safeposition.
2.2 Operating/congurationmode
Theelectroniclimitswitchhastwomodes:theoperatingmode(RUN)andtheconguration
mode(SET).SwitchoverbetweenthetwomodesisperformedintheOperatingmodeparam-
eterupage 40.
−RUN:Operatingmode:congurationforstart-upandpartialstroketesting(PST)not pos-
sible

CongurationusingTROVIS-VIEWsoftware
3 CongurationusingTROVIS-VIEWsoftware
TheelectroniclimitswitchcanbeconguredusingtheTROVIS-VIEWCongurationandOp-
eratorInterfacesoftware.
The electronic limit switch is equipped with an additional digital serial interface to connect
theRS-232orUSBportofthecomputertotheelectroniclimitswitchoveranadaptercable.
TheTROVIS-VIEWsoftwareenablestheusertoeasilysetparametersintheelectroniclimit
switch and view process parameters online.
3.1 CongurationusingtheNI-BUS™Congurator
TheNI-FBUS™ConguratorfromNationalInstrumentscanalsobeusedtocongurethe
electronic limit switch. An FF interface card is required for connection to FOUNDATION™eld-
bus.
TheintegratedfunctionblockscanbelinkedusingtheNI-FBUS™Congurator.
3.2 Communication
The electronic limit switch is completely controlled over the digital signal transmission imple-
mented according to FOUNDATION™eldbusspecication.
Dataaretransmittedoverthebususingdigital,bit-synchronousManchestercodingata
baudrateof31.25kbit/sovertwisted-pairwiresaccordingtoIEC61158-2.
If complex functions are started in the electronic limit switch, which require a long calculation
time or lead to a large quantity of data being saved in the volatile memory of the electronic
limit switch, the alert ‘busy’ is issued over FOUNDATION™eldbus. This alert is not an error
message and can be simply conrmed.

FOUNDATION™eldbusblockmodel
4 FOUNDATION™ eldbusblockmodel
FOUNDATION™eldbus assigns all the functions and data of a device to different types of
blocks.Eachtypeofblockhasadifferentrangeoftaskstofulllintheblockmodel.Thefol-
lowingtypesofblocksareimplementedintheSAMSONType3738-50ElectronicLimit
Switch:
ResourceBlock(RES)
TheResourceBlockcontainsallthespeciccharacteristicsassociatedwithadeviceonthe
eldbus,forexample,devicename,manufacturernumberandserialnumber.Adevicecan
onlyhaveoneResourceBlock.
FunctionBlocks(FB)
FunctionblocksareresponsibleforthecontrolbehaviorofaFOUNDATION™eldbusdevice.
A FOUNDATION™eldbusapplicationcanbeconguredbyconnectingtheinputsandout-
putsoffunctionblocks.ThefollowingfunctionblocksareimplementedintheType3738-50:
5xDiscreteInputFunctionBlocks(DIFB);executiontime20ms
5xDiscreteOutputFunctionBlocks(DOFB);executiontime30ms
1xAnalogInputFunctionBlock(AIFB)
analogpositionfeedback;executiontime20ms
TransducerBlocks(TRD)
EachAIorAOFunctionBlockhasaTransducerBlockwhichcontainsalldataandde-
vice-specicparameterstolinkthedevicetotheprocessvalue(sensorornalcontrolele-
ment).
ThefollowingTransducerBlocks(correspondingtotheFunctionBlocks)areimplemented:
1x LimitSwitchTransducerBlock(LSTRD)

Writeprotection
5 Writeprotection
The Local operation parameter upage28allowsthelocaloperation(accessusing
TROVIS-VIEWandon-siteoperation)oftheelectroniclimitswitchtobelocked.Anactive
lockingisindicatedby on the display.
Operation over the FOUNDATION™ eldbus network can be locked by the local operation
(Code P18). When this locking function is active, device data can only be read over the
FOUNDATION™ eldbus network, but data in the device cannot be overwritten.
6 Endpositioncalibrationinthedevice
Whenthezeropointorendpositionsareincorrect,itmaybenecessarytorecalibratethem.
Alwaysperformanendpositioncalibrationforthefail-safepositionandfortheoperating
position. The end position calibration can be started by the START_ABORT_CMD parameter
oftheLSTranducerBlock.StatusinformationcanbereadintheStatusofendpositioncali-
bration parameter upage 38.
The end position calibration is automatically canceled if an error occurs. The error can be
read in the ACTUAL_DEVICE_ERROR(70)parameteroftheLSTranducerBlock.
7 Resettingthedevice
Resettingstart-updata
Resetthestart-updataintheP21parameter(localoperation).
Resettingidenticationdataandtheblockconguration
Resettheidenticationdatafortheelectroniclimitswitch,valveandactuatorbyselecting‘3’
in the RESET_CMD(63)parameteroftheLSTranducerBlock.Additionally,thesettingsofthe
functionblocksareresettotheirdefaultsettings.Thestart-updataandloggingsremain
saved.

8 Statusclassicationandcondensedstate
Allstatusmessagesareclassiedintheelectroniclimitswitchtoreportanerrorthathasoc-
curred.ThestatusclassicationcanbechangedovertheDDorintheTROVIS-VIEWsoft-
ware(seeFig.3).
Toprovideabetteroverview,theclassiedmessagesaresummarizedinacondensedstate
(upage49).Inadditiontotheparameter,thecondensedstatecanbeissuedtothedis-

9.1 ResourceBlock(RES)
TheResourceBlockcontainsallthedatathatidentifythedevice.Itissimilartoanelectronic

All time specications in the Resource Block are specied in the unit of 1/32 ms according to
the FOUNDATION™ eldbus Specication Version 1.7. In the Device Description Library sup-
