16.5 Initializing the positioner and performing an operational test
Initializing the positioner and performing an operational test are only possible in
TROVIS-VIEW when the positioner has been attached properly to the control valve and has
been connected (see sections 4 and 5). The positioner must be connected to the computer
over the serial interface adapter.
The positioner does not need to be connected to a F
OUNDATION fieldbus segment. It just
needs to be supplied over the bus terminals with an electrical power supply (9 to 32 V DC).
Initialization
NOTICE
During the initialization, the control valve moves through its entire travel/angle of rotation
range. Therefore, do not start initialization while a process is running, but only during
start-up, when all shut-off valves are closed.
1. Change parameter settings in
Start-up
folder in Positioner (AO, TRD).
2. Select the initialization type under
Initialization
(maximum range, nominal range, man
-
ual adjustment, substitute) in the
Positioner (AO, TRD)
folder in the
Start-up
subfolder.
