System Description
Type 024.16.720
6.5. Type 024.16.720 Positioner with position controller
The position measuring system records the current position (POS) of the pneumatic actuator. The position con-
trollercomparesthisactualpositionvaluewiththeset-pointvalue(CMD)whichisdenableasstandardsignal.In
case of a control deviation (Xd1), a pulse-width modulated voltage signal is sent to the control system as a manip-
ulated variable. If there is a positive control difference in single-acting actuators, the air inlet valve is controlled via
output B1. If the control difference is negative, the bleed valve is controlled via output E1. In this way the
position of the actuator is changed until control difference is 0. Z1 represents a disturbance variable.
