ation
Î
The electropneumatic positioner is mounted
on pneumatic control valves and used to
assign the valve position (controlled variable
x) to the control signal (set point w). The
positioner compares the electric control
signal of a control system to the travel or
opening angle of the control valve and issues
a signal pressure (output variable y) for the
pneumatic actuator.
The positioner consists of a travel sensor
system (2) proportional to resistance, an
analog i/p converter (6) with a downstream
air booster (7) and the electronics with
microcontroller (5).
