On/off valve
5 On/off valve
The travel range of open/close (on/off) is
dened by the fail-safe position and the op-
erating point. As a result, the following pa-
rameters to determine the working range
and set point range are not analyzed and
cannot be changed.
− Lower travel/angle range value
− Upper travel/angle range value
− Lower travel/angle limit
− Upper limit for travel/angle
− Lower set point range value
− Upper set point range value
The discrete analysis of the reference vari-
able is performed in automatic mode.
If the set point ( ) is below 'Operating point
limit' when the automatic mode starts, the
valve (
) moves to the fail-safe position.
If
the set point increases and exceeds 'Operat-
ing point limit', the valve moves to the 'Op-
erating point'. The valve moves back to the
fail-safe position (0% in the example) if the
set point then falls below 'Fail-safe action
limit'.

Starting the partial stroke test (PST)
A partial stroke test is started when the set
point ( ) moves in the range between 25
and 50% of the travel range and remains
there for longer than six seconds. See
uSection 12.1.
