1 Introduction
This section is based upon:
4
Fieldbus FOUNDATION™ Specification “Function Block Application Process Part 1 – 3“
Revision 1.7 (FF-890 to FF-892)
4
Fieldbus FOUNDATION™ Specification “Positioner Transducer Block“ Revision 3.0
(FF-906)
Type 3730-5 Positioner
The microprocessor-controlled positioner compares the reference variable cyclically transmitted
over the F
OUNDATION™ fieldbus network to the travel or opening angle of the control valve
and issues a corresponding output signal pressure.
Special features:
4
Link Master Capability
4
Easy attachment to common linear actuators over SAMSON direct attachment interface,
over NAMUR rib or to control valves with rod-type yokes acc. to IEC 60534-6 or to ro-
tary actuators according to VDI/VDE 3845
4
Any desired mounting position of the positioner
4
Simple one-knob, menu-driven operation
4
Automatic start-up
4
LCD easy to read in any mounting position due to selectable reading direction
4
Integrated EXPERTplus diagnostics suitable for throttling and on/off valves and with addi-
tional partial stroke test for valves in safety-instrumented systems
4
Classified status alarms acc. to NAMUR Recommendation NE 107
4
Control parameters can be changed online
4
Automatic monitoring of zero point
4
Calibrated travel sensor without gears susceptible to wear
