If your Siemens Valve Positioner shows a value below the minimum angle span, it might be because the effective lever arm isn't adjusted to the actuator travel, or the mounting kit isn't correctly installed. Try positioning the carrier pin at a smaller stroke value and check the mounting kit.
What causes maximum angle span exceeded error in Siemens Valve Positioners?
If the maximum angle span is exceeded on your Siemens Valve Positioner, it could be because the effective lever arm isn't adjusted to the actuator travel or the mounting kit isn't correctly installed. Try positioning the carrier pin at a larger stroke value and check the mounting kit. Alternatively, consider using the Siemens SIPART PS2 electropneumatic positioner with a swivel area of 185° (special version).
How to switch Siemens SIPART PS100 Valve Positioners from manual to auto mode?
If your Siemens Valve Positioner is in manual mode, switch to "AUTO" mode.
Why is my Siemens Measuring Instruments showing a failure?
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments is showing a failure, it is because the output signal is invalid due to a fault in the field device or in the peripherals. Maintenance is required immediately.
How to fix Siemens SIPART PS100 Valve Positioners initialization errors?
Initialization errors in Siemens Valve Positioners can be caused by: * Insufficient compressed air supply * Incorrectly mounted mounting kit * Blocked valve To fix this, eliminate the cause and then start the initialization process.
How to handle a function test issue with Siemens Measuring Instruments?
If you are experiencing a function test issue with Siemens Measuring Instruments, the output signal may be temporarily invalid (e.g., frozen) because work is being performed on the device. You can manually control the device over HMI or disable the engineering system.
What does 'Maintain valve position activated through digital input' mean on Siemens SIPART PS100 Valve Positioners?
If the 'Maintain valve position' is activated through digital input (DI) on your Siemens Valve Positioner, this is a configured response. Change the parameters until the message no longer appears.
What to do if Siemens Measuring Instruments indicates 'Maintenance required'?
If your Siemens Measuring Instruments indicates that maintenance is required, it means the output signal is still valid, but the wear reserve is coming to an end, and/or functional restrictions will occur soon. It is recommended to perform maintenance as soon as possible.
What to do if measuring range of position detection exceeded in Siemens Valve Positioners?
If the measuring range of position detection is exceeded on your Siemens Valve Positioner, it could be due to the swivel area of the valve being larger than 110°, installing the positioner on a different actuator without re-initialization, or worn end positions of the valve. Check the mounting kit for proper installation and inspect for any wear. Then, start the initialization process.
What to do if there is a control deviation in Siemens SIPART PS100 Valve Positioners?
If your Siemens Valve Positioner shows a control deviation, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if there's sufficient compressed air supply. Also, ensure the mounting kit is correctly installed. Lastly, a blocked valve could also be the cause. Eliminate any of these potential causes to resolve the deviation.
