BIFFI F01-2000 ELECTRIC ACTUATOR
INSTRUCTION AND OPERATING MANUAL
6�2 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The F01-2000 actuator can be totally configured
from the local interface by means of a series
of menus that can be selected from the
alphanumeric display. The operator is guided
through the different displays by answering
YES or NO to the appropriate prompt (change?
OK?, view?, next?, etc.) in the right corner of the
lower row of the alphanumeric display.
To access the menus: set the local selector in
OFF and then simultaneously press OPEN/YES
and STOP. The alphanumeric display will now
show the present language. Press YES if the
language is correct, press NO to scroll the list
of available languages and then YES to select.
After choosing the language, the next step
is the selection among view and set-up
mode. Use “View” mode to see the actuator
configuration, and use “Set-up” mode to
change the present configuration. Unauthorized
access to the set-up mode is prevented by
a 4-character alphanumeric password. The
actuator is supplied by Biffi with the default
password “0 0 0 0”.
Once the correct password has been entered,
the actuator parameters can be configured.
The present password can also be modified by
the “set password” routine in the Maintenance
menu. After entering the new password, the
old one ceases to be valid, so it is important to
record the password in a secure location for
future retrieval.
The configuration functions (view and set-up
mode) are grouped in 4 main menus:
Actuator set-up, Nameplate, Valve data,
Maintenance.
Nameplate
This menu includes a series of data identifying
the actuator characteristics, service, and
utilisation mode. The data are entered by the
manufacturer and can only be viewed (i.e., this
menu is only available in View mode).
List of routines:
- serial number
- actuator type
- torque/thrust
- actuator speed
- power supply
- motor data
- test date
- wiring diagram
- enclosure
- certificate
- lubricant
- revision
- torque sensor
Valve data
This menu includes a series of data relevant to
the valve. The valve manufacturer and end user
should enter the data.
List of routines:
- tag name (max 28 characters)
- manufacturer (max 28 characters)
- break OP torque (max 28 characters)
- serial number (max 28 characters)
- break CL torque (max 28 characters)
- max stem thrust (max 28 characters)
- flange type (max 28 characters)
Maintenance
This menu includes all diagnostic and historic
data which can help the operator in case of
failure or during maintenance operations.
The Maintenance menu also includes the
“Set password” routine.
List of routines:
• Set-up mode
- set new password
- clear alarm log
- set torque profile reference
- set torque curve reference
- clear recent data log
- set maintenance date
- set data logger
• View mode
- alarm log
- torque profile
- torque curve
- operation log
- maintenance date
- data logger
Actuator set-up
This menu includes the routines that allow
the actuator to be configured according to the
requested control mode and to the valve it is
mounted on.
- stroke limits
- torque set-up
- ESD set-up
- remote controls
- local controls
- output relays
- positioner *
- fail safe *
- out 4-20 mA *
- interlock
- 2-speed timer
- Bus *
- miscellaneous
The routines with * are only available if the
relevant modules are present. If bus interface
is LonWorks, the “BUS” routine changes to
“FDI control”.
The parameters appear on the alphanumeric
display in the same order both in view and
set-up mode. At the end of each routine the
program will automatically return to the
beginning of the routine, and the operator can
choose to either re-enter (by pressing YES) or
to move on to a next routine (by pressing NO).
