13.3.2 Settingthepositionerparameters
PosCtrl:
Provides parameters for the positioner.
Pos P:
Corresponds to the positioner’s KP amplication.
The optimum value is determined by the positioner during
initialisation.
Pos D:
Corresponds to the positioner’s D amplication.
Pos T:
Corresponds to the decay time for the positioner’s D
component.
MinPos:
Denes the lower position of the control range (serves as a
closing limit).
MaxPos:
Denes the upper position of the control range (serves as a
stroke limit).

OpenTight and CloseTight:
Determines the close tight function areas (complete
pressurization or ventilation of the actuator).
With this function the valve can be moved into the seat using
the maximum possible actuator force.The close tight function
can be activated for one end or both end positions.
Example:
If the setting CloseTight 0.5 % and OpenTight 99.5 % is made,
the valve closes or opens fully according to the following
diagram.
The hysteresis is 1 %.

If the control characteristic curve (W function chapter 13.4.2) is
changed to the values 1:25 or 1:50, the CloseTight value should
be set at >2.0 (if the characteristic curve is 1:50) or >4.0 (if the
characteristic curve is 1:25), in order to shut the valve fully.
13.3.3 Settingthedeadzone
DeadBand:
Denes the permissible deviation – dead zone between set
value and actual value.
Eects both the positioner and the process controller.
The height of the system deviation should always
correspond to the requirements of the valve and the
control circuit. It is recommended that you do not
set a value of < 1.0% since this could (especially
for actuators with discontinuous movement proles)
cause oscillating control characteristics. This could
put a great deal of stress on the internal pilot valves
and cause them to reach the end of their service
life more quickly.
Basically: the smaller the xed value, the higher the
wear and the shorter the service life. Therefore, the
value should be set only as accurate as needed.
13.3.4 Settingtheoptionaldigitalinputparameters
Digital Input:
Submenu for setting the digital inputs
In W:
Denes the functions of the High signal at digital input In
W (connection at set value input, only eective for manual
operation).
In X:
Denes the functions of the High signal at digital input In X
(connection at actual value input, only eective when operating
as a positioner)
In 1:
Denes the functions of the High signal at digital input 1
In 2:
Denes the functions of the High signal at digital input 2
