Faults within the
actuator’s environment
3) No process sensor signal
available
Actuator drives into a
preset position
1) Signal is applied to the
binary fail-safe input
2) Supply voltage failure on
actuators with optional PSCP
1) Disconnect the signal
2) Check supply voltage
Set-value disconnected
or outside the
parameterized range
1) Set-value not connected
2) Wrong polarity of set-value
3) set-value signal outside
parameter range, please check
1) Apply set-value
2) Check the set-value polarity
3) Check the set-value range
Stored end position
could not be reached
Loose or dirty valve seat
Stored end position has
been passed over
Valve seat worn or defective
Actuator supply voltage
too low
1) Improper wiring of the
mains supply
2) Jitter in supply voltage
3) Too low supply voltage from
PSEP (with optional PSEP)
1) Check mains wiring
2) Check supply voltage -> see datasheet
3) Contact PS service team
Faults within the
actuator
Actuator has reached
lifetime limit
Wear and/ or running time
Faulty electronics or
invalid parameters
1) Supply voltage interrupted
during commissioning
2) Defective electronic
component
1) Reload parameters (-> see manual AMS-PSCS),
then repeat commissioning
2) Contact PS service team
Critical or maximum
temperature reached
1) Too high numbers of starts
2) Ambient temperature too
high
1) Check application and its adjustment
2) Check ambient temperature and try to reduce
it -> see relevant data sheet
