9.4 Description of parameters 
  SIPART PS2 with and without HART 
172  Operating Instructions, 10/2013, A5E00074631-11 
 
Description of parameters 48 
48. TIM - Monitoring time for setting of fault messages 
This parameter is used to set the time in seconds within which the positioner must have 
reached the regulated condition. The corresponding response threshold is specified in the 
"49.
LIM" parameter. 
When the configured time is exceeded, the fault message output is set. 
 
Note 
Activated tight closing function 
If the tight closing function is activated, then for parameter "49.
 LIM" the monitoring of 
regulation deviation is t
urned off in the appropriate overflow direction. Here, "YCDO: < 0 %" 
 > 100 
%" apply. This functionality is especially advantageous for valves with soft 
seats. For a long
-term monitoring of the end stop positions, we recommend activating the 
meters "F.  ZERO" and G.  OPEN". 
 
 
Description of parameters 49 
49. LIM - Response threshold of fault message 
This parameter is used to set a value for the permissible size of the regulation deviation to 
trigger a fault message. The value is given in percent. 
If the parameters "48.
TIM" and "49. LIM" are set to "Auto", then the fault message is set if 
the slow motion zone is not reached within a certain period of time. The setting "Auto" is the 
factory setting. Within 5 to 95% of the actuator travel, this time is twice the initialization set 
time, and ten times the initialization set time outside of 10 to 90%. 
 
Note 
Activated tight closing function 
If the tight clo
sing function is activated, then for parameter "49. LIM" the monitoring of 
regulation deviation is turned off in the appropriate overflow direction. Here, "YCDO:
 < 0 %" 
 > 100 
%" apply. This functionality is especially advantageous for valves with soft 
seats. For a long
-term monitoring of the end stop positions, we recommend activating the 
ZERO" and G. OPEN".
