As shown in figure 8-1, the increased output A
pressure causes the actuator stem to move upward.
Stem position is sensed through the feedback linkage
by the travel sensor which is electrically connected to
the printed wiring board assembly submodule. The
stem continues to move downward until the correct
stem position is attained. At this point the printed
wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive signal.
This prevents any further increase in the pneumatic
signal from the I/P converter.
As the digital setpoint decreases, the drive signal to
the I/P converter submodule decreases, decreasing
the I/P output pressure. The pneumatic relay
decreases the output A pressure and increases the
output B pressure. The stem moves downward until
the correct position is attained. At this point the printed
wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive signal.
This prevents any decrease in the pneumatic signal
from the I/P converter.
