Design and principle of operation
3.1 Additional equipment
Forced venting
Thei/pconverterisde-energizedwhenno
operating voltage is applied to the corre-
sponding terminals. The positioner can no
longer operate and the control valve moves
to the fail-safe position (SAFE) determined
by the actuator, regardless of the set point.
Binary contact
The positioner has three internal binary sig-
nals which can be analyzed over terminals
A/B/C.Twoofthesesignalsareintended
for the valve end positions and one signal
for a collective fault alarm. The assignment
ofthesesignalstotheA/B/Cterminalsis
determinedoverCode25.
Position transmitter
The position transmitter (13) is a two-wire
transmitter and issues the travel sensor signal
asa4to20mAsignalprocessedbythemi-
crocontroller. Since this signal is issued inde-
pendent of the positioner’s input signal (mini-
mumcurrent3.8mA),themomentarytrav-
el/angleofrotationiscontrolledinreal-time.
Additionally, the position transmitter allows
positioner faults to be indicated over a sig-
nalcurrentof2.4mAor21.6mA.
Binary input
Positionerscanbeoptionallyttedwithabi-
nary input. The following actions can be trig-
gered by changing the edge state:
−Transmit switching state [default]
The switching state of the binary input is
logged.
−Set on-site operation write protection
Whilethebinaryinputisactive,noset-
tings can be changed at the positioner.
EnablingcongurationoverCode3is
not active.
−Switch between AUTO/MAN
The positioner changes from the auto-
matic mode (AUTO) to the manual mode
(MAN) or vice versa. This function is not
performed if the positioner is in the fail-
safe position mode (SAFE).
−Various diagnostic functions uEB8389
(EXPERTplus valve diagnostics)
The optional binary input can only be con-
gured using the TROVIS-VIEW software
and using the DD parameters (uEB 8389
on EXPERTplus valve diagnostics). The de-
fault switching state is with an open switch.
Connection to terminals A-B:
binary input for DC voltage signals
Connection to terminals B-C:
contact input for an external contact
