7.6.4 SUb – Substitute calibration
A complete initialization procedure takes several minutes and requires the valve to move
through its entire travel range several times. In the SUb initialization mode, the control pa-
rameters are estimated and not determined by an initialization procedure. As a result, a high
level of accuracy cannot be expected. A different initialization mode should be selected if the
plant allows it.
The substitute calibration is used to replace a positioner while the process is running. For this
purpose,thecontrolvalveisusuallyxedmechanicallyinacertainpositionorpneumatically
by means of a pressure signal which is routed to the actuator externally. The blocking posi-
tion ensures that the plant continues to operate with this valve position.
