Description of parameter L 
L. STRK - monitoring the path integral 
Use this parameter to monitor the entire path covered by the final controlling element 
continuously. 
Configure the following settings to activate the test: 
1.  Set the "L.
STRK" parameter to "On". Sub-parameters to set the test parameters are 
displayed. The test is activated. 
2.  Set the suitable parameter values in sub-parameters. The setting options available in 
sub-parameters are described below. 
The following is applicable for the version with PROFIBUS communication: This test 
determines the actuator movements in 100% strokes. In this case, a 100% stroke is equal to 
twice the complete path, e.g. from ON→OFF and OFF→ON. 
The following is applicable for the standard version and the version with 
FOUNDATION fieldbus communication: This test determines the actuator movements in 
100% strokes. In this case, a 100% stroke is equal to the complete path, e.g. from ON→OFF 
or OFF→ON. 
The current value is displayed in the "1 STRKS" diagnostics parameter. The positioner 
triggers a fault message if the current value exceeds a limit threshold. 
The factory setting is "OFF". 
L1.LIMIT - limit for the number of strokes 
Use this sub-parameter to set the base limit for the number of strokes. Set the base limit in a 
range from "1" to "1.00E8". 
The factory setting is "1.00E6". 
Use this sub-parameter to set the factor for the formation of limit threshold 1. Set the factor in 
a range from "0.1" to "40.0". The limit threshold is the product of "L1.LIMIT" and "L2.FACT1". 
The threshold 1 fault message is displayed when the limit threshold 1 exceeds. The process 
to activate and display this fault message is described in the "XDIAG" parameter. 
The factory setting is "1.0". 
Use this sub-parameter to set the factor for the formation of limit threshold 2. Set the factor in 
a range from "0.1" to "40.0". The limit threshold is the product of "L1.LIMIT" and "L3.FACT2". 
The threshold 2 fault message is displayed when the limit threshold 2 exceeds. The process 
to activate and display this fault message is described in the "XDIAG" parameter. 
The factory setting is "2.0".
