7.5 Intermediate positions with multiport valve function (option)
The multiport valve function allows the selection of the eight intermediate
positions either directly from LOCAL (via push buttons) or from REMOTE
(via special fieldbus commands). Hereby the selected intermediate posi
-
tion is approached directly, without stopping in another intermediate
position.
In this case, the actuator continues running until the selected intermediate
position has been reached. Example: Operation from position 5 to 7 without
stopping at position 6. This function is available with operation commands
from LOCAL via the push buttons or from REMOTE via a fieldbus interface.
Limitation When equipped with a parallel interface (page 83), the direct selection func-
tion is only available in local operation, since the number of control cables is
not sufficient to select a specific intermediate position.
