Summary

Proportional and Proportional-Integral Pneumatic Controllers Series 600 Installation and Maintenance Instructions

Important Safety Information

Access

Ensure safe access and working platform before working on the product.

Lighting

Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required.

Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline

Consider potential hazards from pipeline contents like flammable materials or health risks.

Hazardous environment around the product

Consider explosion risk areas, lack of oxygen, dangerous gases, temperature extremes.

The system

Consider effects of work on the entire system and other workers.

Pressure systems

Ensure pressure isolation and safety venting to atmospheric pressure.

Temperature

Allow time for temperature to normalize to avoid burns.

Tools and consumables

Use suitable tools and genuine Spirax Sarco replacement parts.

Protective clothing

Consider protective clothing for hazards like chemicals, temperature, noise, falling objects.

Permits to work

Ensure work is supervised by competent person; comply with permit systems.

Electrical work

Study wiring diagrams and instructions before starting electrical work.

Commissioning

Ensure system is fully functioning after installation or maintenance.

Disposal

Dispose of unwanted equipment in a safe manner.

Returning products

Provide hazard information for returned products due to contamination or damage.

Controller Mounting

Panel mounting

Mount instrument into a panel cut-out and secure with fixing plates.

Wall or pipe stand mounting

Use a steel section fixed on wall or a pipe stand for mounting.

Controller Connections

Pneumatic connections

Connections for air supply, outlet, integral action, and transmitters.

Process connection

1/4" NPT female for pressure; refer to bulletin for temperature sensing.

Piping to Air Supply Main Line

Compressed air supply requirements

Air must be pure and dry. Supply at 20 psi (1.4 bar) constant pressure.

Pneumatic piping materials

Use non-ferrous materials like nylon or copper to prevent rust.

Air supply line slope

Line should slope down to prevent condensate draining into the instrument.

Filter regulator operation

Air pressure must be at least 2.8-3 bar for filter-regulator to operate correctly.

Pneumatic Piping to Control Valve

Control signal transmission

Signal is 3-15 psi. Line must be airtight to ensure correct control action.

Process pipe cleaning

Clean process pipework before installing valve to prevent dirt entry.

Isolation valves and by-pass

Use isolating valves and a by-pass valve for maintenance.

Auto-manual station connection

Connect auto-manual station to integral action port, plug if not used.

Preliminary Check

Perform a preliminary check after transport to ensure calibration.

Direction of Control Action

Changing control action

Action (direct/reverse) can be changed by positioning the proportional band adjusting device.

Initial Commissioning of Proportional Controller

Auto-manual station setting

Switch auto-manual station to automatic operation.

Air supply and draining

Supply instrument with 20 psi air and drain filter regulator.

Checking for air leakages

Ensure no air leakages in the pneumatic piping to control valve.

Setting set point

Use knob (F) to position red pointer (G) on the desired set point.

Adjusting proportional band

Set proportional band to 20% and verify control action is correct.

By-pass valve operation

Ensure by-pass valve is closed if fitted, and isolating valve is open.

Adjusting proportional band for stability

Gradually increase proportional band to prevent oscillations, then fine-tune for stability.

Simulating artificial disturbance

Simulate disturbance to test proportional band stability.

Manual reset adjustment

Adjust manual reset screw (H) to correct pointer offset.

Starting Controller with Auto-Manual Station

Manual operation setup

Switch auto-manual station to manual control.

Closing control valve

Close pneumatic control valve by turning the pressure regulator knob.

Isolating valves check

Ensure isolating valves are open and by-pass valve is closed.

Gradually opening pneumatic valve

Gradually open valve until black pointer matches red set point pointer.

Automatic operation setup

Switch auto-manual station to automatic control.

Initial Commissioning of Proportional-Integral Controllers

Integral action reset adjustment

Adjust integral action screw (I) to set automatic reset index.

By-pass valve and isolating valve check

Ensure by-pass is shut, isolating valves open.

Proportional band adjustment for stability

Increase proportional band to prevent cycling, adjust integral action if needed.

Integral action speed adjustment

Increase integral action speed to a maximum acceptable level without cycling.

Proportional band and integral action optimization

Simulate disturbance to optimize band and integral action for stability.

Controller Operation and Alignment Check

Air supply and zero point setting

Supply 20 psi air, set red pointer to match black pointer.

Proportional band theoretical infinity line

Set proportional band index on the line separating direct/reverse action.

Outlet control signal check (9 psi)

Check outlet signal is 9 psi; adjust plaque if necessary.

Proportional band adjustment for 10% action

Adjust proportional band to 10% direct/reverse action and check signal remains at 9 psi.

Signal deviation adjustment (H screw)

Adjust signal deviation from 9 psi using screw (H) if necessary.

Proportional band 10% direct action check

Set band to 10% direct action, verify signal is 9 psi.

Flapper nut adjustment for error correction

Adjust flapper nut (N.12) to eliminate algebraic sum of errors.

Flapper nut effect on signal

Tightening flapper nut decreases control signal.

Checking after flapper operation

Re-check items 3, 4, 5, 6 after flapper adjustment.

PI controller reset screw protection

Remove threaded plug from PI controller reset screw (H) before setting.

PI controller initial setup

Set proportional band for 9 psi output, then set integral action screw to 0 rep./min.

Routine Maintenance of P and PI Controllers

Daily filter draining

Daily drain filter to remove water, oil, and impurities.

Cleaning amplifying relay

Clean amplifying relay, paying attention to capillary orifice.

Pneumatic valve maintenance

Keep pneumatic control valve in good working condition to avoid friction.

Pneumatic nozzle cleaning

Clean pneumatic nozzle by blowing clean air and keeping flapper plate away.

Diaphragm and relay cleaning

Clean diaphragm and inner parts of pneumatic relay due to oil/condensate.

Relay disassembly and reassembly

Instructions for disassembling and reassembling the pneumatic relay.

Troubleshooting

Poor control action / Low output signal

Check air supply, action direction, orifice, valve diaphragm, and piping.

High output signal

Check nozzle, orifice gasket for dirt or leaks.

Control point drifting

Adjust proportional band, integral action speed, or clean capillary orifice.

Residual offset

Adjust manual reset or clean integral action valve.

Control oscillation

Adjust band/integral action, check valve friction or oversizing.

Measuring System Replacement and Calibration

Replacement of measuring element

Steps to replace the measuring element, followed by control and calibration.

Zero setting

Verify instrument indicated value matches real value at a single point.

Measuring range calibration

Verify correspondence of indicated value to real value at two points (zero and 100%).
