11.2.4.28 Diagnostic value '33.T1' ... '41.T9' - Number of operating hours in the temperature
range 1 to 9
Display range: 0 ... 4.29E9
Purpose: Statistics about the duration of operation in dierent temperature
ranges is maintained in the device. An average of the measured
temperature is taken every hour and the counter assigned to the
corresponding temperature range is incremented. This helps in
drawing conclusions about the past operating conditions of the de‐
vice and the entire control valve.
The temperature ranges are classied as follows:
T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T7 T8 T9
Temperature range [°C] - ≥ -30 ≥ -15 ≥ 0 ≥ 15 ≥ 30 ≥ 45 ≥ 60 ≥ 75
≤ -30 < -15 < 0 < 15 < 30 < 45 < 60 < 75 -
Operating hours in temperature ranges T1 to T2
11.2.4.29 Diagnostic value '42.VENT1' / '43.VENT2'
'42.VENT1' number of switching cycles pneumatic block, valve 1
'43.VENT2' number of switching cycles pneumatic block, valve 2
Display range: 0 ... 4.29E9
Purpose: Control procedures of the pneumatic block are summarized and dis‐
played in this parameter.
Description:
The pneumatic block of the positioner pressurizes and depressurizes the
actuator. The characteristic service life of the pneumatic block depends
on the load. The average service life is approx. 200 million switching
cycles. The number of control procedures for the switching cycles serves
to assess the switching frequency of the pneumatic block.
Counting procedure for single-acting actuators:
• Pressurize => 42.VENT1
• Depressurize => 43.VENT2
Counting procedure for double-acting actuators:
• Pressurize (Y2) / Depressurize (Y1) => 42.VENT1
• Depressurize (Y1) / Pressurize (Y2) => 43.VENT2
The value is written hourly into a nonvolatile memory.
11.2.4.30 Diagnostic value '44.VEN1R' / '45.VEN2R'
'44.VEN1R' number of switching cycles pneumatic block, valve 1, resettable
'45.VEN2R' number of switching cycles pneumatic block, valve 2, resettable
Display range: 0 ... 4.29E9
