TheactuatorisconguredwiththeTROVIS-VIEWsoftware.Inthiscase,theserialinterface
on the actuator is used to connect the actuator to the computer.

9.1 Inputs and outputs
9.1.1 Input signal
The input signal determines the actuator stem position. A voltage or current signal can be
used as the input signal.
The default values for the lower range and upper range of the input signal are between 0
and10Vor0to20mA.Theinputsignalrangecanbeadaptedasrequired,e.g.toachieve
a plant operation characteristic by connecting two or more actuators in parallel (split-range
operation).
Example: Two valves regulate the process medium in one common pipeline to achieve a
largerangeability.Onevalveopenswitha0to5Vinputsignal,whilethesecondvalvealso
openswhentheinputsignalincreasesfurther(5to10V)andtherstvalveremainsopen.
The two valves close in the reverse order.
At least 2.5V or 5mA (depending on the input signal used) must separate the upper and
lower range values.
