8 Description Series 824 17 / 46 09.2018 / 1.0 8 Description 8.1 Function and structure ▪The positioner operates in accordance with the force comparison principle and controls the position of actuators proportionally. The signal air pressure at the input is converted into force by a diaphragm in the diaphragm chamber (9) and compared with the return force of the spring (6). At force equilibrium the positioner is in the steady state. If the input pressure increases, the piston lever (8) is deflected upwards so that the piston (7) is also raised. Supply air now flows via the output into the pneumatic actuator, as a result of which it is moved (downwards in the case shown). The pretension of the return spring (6) is thereby increased via the lifting or rotary lever, the cam plate (24) and the return lever (204). This takes place until the spring force and the diaphragm are in equilibrium (steady state). Actuator stroke and input signal pressure are thus correlated in accordance with the cam plate contour. If the input signal falls, this has the re- verse effect on the valve stroke. The piston moves downwards, shuts off the supply air and vents the pneumatic actuator via the vent hole in the piston bushing of the positioner. As a result of this the actuator changes its position towards the original position. ▪The functional sequence is the same with the double-action position- ers, however the piston now controls two outputs. If the piston is de- flected upwards it vents the output y2, while supply air flows in through the output y1. The relationships at the outputs y1 and y2 are the opposite when the piston lever moves downwards. ▪The actuation speed of the cylinder can be regulated in both direc- tions by additionally adjustable throttle check valves in the actuation signal lines Y1 and Y2 to be provided by the customer. As a result of this a more or less strong fixation of the cylinder actuator is also achieved asymmetrically. ▪In the case of the I/P module the impressed DC current I flows through a fixed coil (44.1) as the input signal. This magnetises a magnetically soft yoke (44.2). The field lines of this system exposed at an air gap (44.3) exert a force proportional to the input current on a small magnet (44.4) that is made of a highly coercive alloy. To- gether with a baffle plate (44.5) the small magnet forms the rotary system of the device. The impact plate covers a nozzle (44.6) to a greater or lesser extent, the air from the nozzle exerting a resetting force that is in equilibrium with the force at the magnet. The nozzle is provided via a throttle (44.7) with air from the output of the control part (44.8), which is influenced by the change in pressure in front of the nozzle. Thus a linear correlation between the electrical input sig- nal and the pneumatic output signal exists. ▪Split ranges are used if, for example, two actuators with positioners in different control ranges are to be controlled by one controller. One valve would operate with the input signal range 0.2 – 0.6 bar and the other with the split range 0.6 – 1.0 bar. The split ranges differ by dif- ferent springs, which are marked in colour.

18 / 46 Series 824 09.2018 / 1.0 Illustration 3: Functional description 8.1.1 Cam plate The cam plate (24) of the positioner has three characteristics, which are designed for a 60° angle of rotation equivalent to a 100% stroke or a 90° angle of rotation for a 90° opening angle with rotary valves. For the basic version, the linear curve (no. 1 in fig. 1) is provided normally. The on/off curve (no. 2) and the equal percentage curve (no. 3) are also shown in this diagram. Figs. 1 and 2 show how these curves affect the flow rate of valves with different opening characteristics. The linear curve (no. 1) linearly assigns the valve stroke to the input signal, i.e. the input signal is mapped dir- ectly to the valve stroke so that the effect of the valve's own opening characteristic is retained. The use of the curves (nos. 2 & 3) offers the possibility to change the effect of valve characteristics.

9 Installation Series 824 19 / 46 09.2018 / 1.0 9 Installation Check whether the desired principle of operation - "normal" or "inverted" - is set correctly. To do this, look at the rear side of the positioner and check the setting. If it should be necessary to change the setting, refer to the chapter [12.1] Normal / Inversion "Configuration". 9.1 Safety instructions for assembly CAUTION Improper installation Improper installation can result in damage to the device, its destruction or the impairment of its function. Ascertain that the device shows no visible signs of damage each time before installing it. Ascertain that the process connections are clean and that suitable seals and cable glands are used. Install the device using suitable tools. CAUTION Mechanical impact It is essential that the following sequence is observed during installation in order to avoid injury or mechanical damage to the positioner/mounting kit: ►Mechanically mount the positioner ►Connect the pneumatic auxiliary energy ►Connect the auxiliary electrical energy supply ►Carry out the commissioning procedure ATTENTION The device protection class becoming null and void Damage to the device due to open or improperly closed housing. The protection class specified on the nameplate is no longer guaranteed. CAUTION Humid environment/dry compressed air If the environment is humid, mount the positioner in such a way that there is no chance of the control axis freezing (getting stuck) at low am- bient temperatures. Make sure that water does not enter an open housing or threaded joint. If the positioner cannot be immediately and permanently mounted and connected on site, it is possible for water to enter. In general, only dry compressed air may be used to operate the posi- tioner. Also refer to the chapter [16.2] Data for the basic device. You should therefore make use of the usual water separators. In extreme cases it may be necessary to use an additional dryer. The use of dryers is particularly important if you operate the positioner at low ambient tem- peratures. When mounting on the valve block, set the purging air switch above the pneumatic connections to the "OUT" position.

Refer to the chapter [16] Technical Data for the individual electrical op- tions! ▪Undo the screws (52) and remove the cover (51). ▪Feed the cable through the cable gland. ▪Connect in accordance with the terminal diagram or the details inside the cover (51). – NOTICE! Make sure the polarity is correct. ▪Activate the strain relief by tightening the cable glands (47). ▪The max. permissible connection data for the individual electrical components are shown on the nameplate and must be observed! 11.1 I/P transducer Illustration 17: IP transducer 11.2 Limit value transmitter The limit value transmitter is equipped with two inductive proximity switches (slot-type proximity switches), which are actuated by the infin- itely adjustable vanes. The proximity switches can be supplied in three different basic versions. 11.2.1 Normal version (2-wire, N) The proximity switches according to EN 60947-5-6 (NAMUR) are 2-wire inductive sensors whose signals only need to be amplified by down- stream switching amplifiers (provided by the customer). Normally closed (N) types are generally used. Illustration 18: Limit value transmitter 2-wire N+SN 11.2.2 Safe design (2-wire, SN) These proximity switches correspond to the normal version, but with an additional function:

Normally closed (SN) types are generally used. Illustration 19: Limit value transmitter 2-wire N+SN 11.2.3 Direct switching version (3-wire, E2) These proximity switches already contain an output amplifier and have separate connections for the power supply and for the load. Plus-switch- ing (E2) normally-open types are generally used.

13 Commissioning Series 824 37 / 46 09.2018 / 1.0 13.2 Limit value transmitter The limit contacts are normally adjusted so that a signal is present in each of the end positions (open/closed). Both vanes can be infinitely ro- tated so that intermediate positions can also be signalled. To ensure reli- able switching, the switching point should be set approx. 2% before the mechanical stop (open/closed). We recommend the valve position "closed" for the limit value transmitter "A" and the valve position "open" for the limit value transmitter "B", whose setting is described below for a normally closed valve. ▪Loosen the screws (81). ▪Position the limit value transmitter (85) in the centre of the slots. ▪Tighten the screws (81). ▪Loosen the screw (82). ▪Coarse adjustment of the two vanes (86) with input signal at 0% and 100%. ▪Tighten the screws (82). ▪Apply a 2% input signal. ▪Loosen the screw (81) on the limit value transmitter "A". ▪Adjust vane "A" so that a signal is present at the limit value transmit- ter "A". ▪Tighten the screws (81). ▪Apply a 98% input signal. ▪Loosen the screw (81) on the limit value transmitter "B". ▪Adjust the vane so that a signal is present at the limit value transmit- ter "B". ▪Tighten the screws (81). 13.3 Position feedback 13.3.1 Feedback potentiometer The rotary movement of the positioner shaft is transmitted to the poten- tiometer (91) via a gear unit. The zero point and range setting must be done on the downstream devices (not included in the scope of delivery). 13.3.2 Position transducer The built-in position transducer (R/I) measures the change in resistance of the feedback potentiometer and converts the input signal into the out- put signal (0/4 - 20 mA). The zero point and range setting is done using the screws provided for this purpose on the position transducer (92).
