AUMA AC 01.2 User Manual

8.5. Process controller
Requirements
This function requires one of the following equipments within the actuator:
●
Electronic control unit with MWG (non-intrusive version)
●
Potentiometer
●
Electronic position transmitter EWG/RWG
Further conditions for the process controller operation mode:
●
Process controller enabled and activated.
●
Operation mode Remote (Selector switch = position Remote control).
Characteristics
The following figure illustrates the function of the process controller:
The process controller [2] receives the process setpoint E7 and the actual process
value E4 (e.g. from a sensor). On the basis of both values, the process controller
calculates the position setpoint E1 for positioner [3]. In turn, the positioner [3]
compares this target setpoint with the actual position value E2 of the valve and issues
the operation commands (OPEN - CLOSE) for the actuator.
