3 Design and principle ofoperation

The electropneumatic positioner is attachedto pneumatic control valves. It is used to as-sign the valve stem position (controlled vari-able x) to the control signal (reference vari-able w). The input signal received from acontrol system is compared to the travel orrotational angle of the control valve, and apneumatic signal pressure (output variabley) is produced.

The positioner consists of a travel sensor sys-tem proportional to resistance, an analogi/p converter with a downstream boosterand the electronics unit with microcontroller.

When a deviation occurs, the actuator ispressurized or vented. If required, thechanges in the signal pressure can beslowed down by a connectable Q restriction.The signal pressure supplied to the actuatorcan be limited by software or on site to 1.4,2.4 or 3.7 bar.

A constant air stream to the atmosphere iscreated by the flow regulator (9) with afixed set point. The air stream is used topurge the inside of the case as well as to op-timize the air capacity booster. The i/pmodule (6) is supplied with a constant up-stream pressure by the pressure regulator(8) to make it independent of the supply airpressure.

The positioner communicates and is pow-ered using IEC 61158-2 transmission tech-nology conforming to the PROFIBUS-PAspecification.

As a standard feature, the positioner comeswith a binary input for DC voltage signals tosignalize process information over thePROFIBUS-PA.

The extended EXPERTplus diagnostics are in-tegrated into the positioner. They provide in-formation on the positioner and generatesdiagnostic and status messages, which allowfaults to be pinpointed quickly.

3.1 Additional equipment

Solenoid valve

If the operating voltage for the solenoidvalve (12) fails, the supply pressure for thei/p module is vented to the atmosphere. Thepositioner can no longer operate and thecontrol valve moves to the fail-safe positiondetermined by the actuator, independent ofthe reference variable.

NOTICEIn manual mode (MAN), the manual setpoint is also reset to 0 %. A different manualset point must be entered again (Code 1).

Inductive limit switch

The rotary shaft of the positioner carries anadjustable tag which actuates the installedproximity switch.

External position sensor

In this version, only the sensor is mounted tothe control valve. The positioner is locatedseparately from the valve.The connection of x and y signals to thevalve is established by cable and piping forair (only without inductive limit switch).

Binary contact

All positioners are fitted with a binary inputfor DC voltage signals over which processinformation can be issued over thePROFIBUS-PA network.Another optional binary input is an activeinput powered by the positioner to connect afloating contact. Its switching condition can

also be issued over the PROFIBUS-PA net-work.

3.2 Communication

The positioner is completely controlled overthe digital signal transmission implementedcomplying with PROFIBUS-PA Profile B asper DIN EN 50170 and DIN 19245 Part 4.

Data are transmitted as bit-synchronous cur-rent modulation at a rate of 31.25 kbit/sover twisted-pair cables conforming toIEC 61158-2.

Usually, the positioner settings are made ona computer which is connected to one ormore positioners linked over a segment cou-pler to the PROFIBUS segment of the com-puter..

The Configuration Manual KH 8384-4 ENcontains a description on how to configureand operate the positioner overPROFIBUS-PA.

3.2.1 Configuration usingTROVIS-VIEW software

The positioner can be configured usingTROVIS-VIEW Configuration and OperatorInterface software.The positioner is equipped with an addi-tional digital SERIAL INTERFACE to connectthe RS-232 or USB port of the computer tothe positioner over an adapter cable.The TROVIS-VIEW software enables the userto easily set parameters in the positionerand view process parameters online.

Note: The TROVIS-VIEW software is a com-mon operator interface for various smartSAMSON devices. The software togetherwith a device-specific module allow the con-figuration and parameterization of the de-vice.The device-specific module for Type 3730-4can be downloaded free of charge from theSAMSON website (Services > Software >TROVIS-VIEW).Additional information on TROVIS-VIEW(e.g. system requirements) can found on theSAMSON website and in the Data SheetT 6661 EN.

WARNING!Mount the positioner, keeping the followingsequence:1. Remove protective film from pneumatic

connections.2. Mount the positioner on the control valve3. Connect the supply air4. Connect the electrical power5. Perform the start-up settings

The connection of the electrical auxiliarypower may cause the actuator stem to move,depending on the operating mode.Do not touch the actuator stem or obstruct itto avoid risk of injury to hands or fingers.

5.1 Pneumatic connections

NOTICEFollow the instructions below to avoid dam-aging the positioner.– The threaded connections in the

positioner housing are not designed di-rect air connection!

– The screw glands must be screwed intothe connecting plate, the pressure gaugemounting block or the connection blockfrom the accessories.The air connections are optionally de-signed as a bore with ¼ NPT or G ¼thread.The customary fittings for metal and cop-per pipes or plastic hoses can be used.

– The supply air must be dry and free fromoil and dust.The maintenance instructions for upstre-am pressure reducing stations must be

observed.Blow through all air pipes and hoses tho-roughly prior to connecting them.

If the positioner is attached directly to theType 3277 Actuator, the connection of thepositioner's output pressure to the actuator isfixed. For attachment according toIEC 60534-6 (NAMUR), the signal pressurecan be routed to either the top or bottom di-aphragm chamber of the actuator, depend-ing on the actuator's fail-safe action "Actua-tor stem extends" or "Actuator stem re-tracts".For rotary actuators, the manufacturer'sspecifications for connection apply.

5.1.1 Signal pressure gauges

To monitor the supply air (Supply) and sig-nal pressure (Output), we recommend thatpressure gauges be attached (see accesso-ries in Tables 1 to 5).

5.1.2 Supply pressure

The required supply air pressure depends onthe bench range and the actuator's operat-ing direction (fail-safe action).The bench range is registered on the name-plate either as spring range or signal pres-sure range depending on the actuator. Thedirection of action is marked FA or FE, or bya symbol.

Actuator stem extends FA (AIR TO OPEN)

Fail-safe position "Valve Closed"(for globe and angle valves):

Required supply pressure = Upper benchrange value + 0.2 bar, minimum 1.4 bar.

5.1.3 Signal pressure (output)

The signal pressure at the output (Out-put 38) of the positioner can be limited to1.4, 2.4 or 3.7 bar in Code 16.

The limitation is not activated [OFF] by de-fault.

5.2 Electrical connections

DANGER!Risk of electric shock and/orthe formation of an explosiveatmosphere!

– For electrical installation, observe the rel-evant electrotechnical regulations andthe accident prevention regulations thatapply in the country of use.

NOTICE– Adhere to the terminal assignment!– Switching the assignment of the electrical

terminals may cause the explosion pro-tection to become ineffective!

– Do not loosen enameled screws in or onthe housing.

– The maximum permissible values speci-fied in the national EC type examinationcertificates apply when interconnectingintrinsically safe electrical equipment (Uior Uo; Ii or Io; Pi or Po; Ci or Co, and Li orLo).

Selecting cables and wires:

To install and select cables and wires as wellas to run several intrinsically safe circuits inone multi-core cable, observe the installationregulations valid in the country of use. Thediameter of an individual wire in afine-stranded conductor must not be smallerthan 0.1 mm. Protect the conductor endsagainst splicing, e.g. by using wire-end fer-rules.

When two separate cables are used for con-nection, an additional cable gland can beinstalled.

Seal cable entries left unused with plugs.

Devices used at ambient temperatures be-low –20 °C must be fitted with metal cableglands.

Equipment for use in zone 2/zone 22

In equipment operated with type of protec-tion EEx nA II (non-sparking equipment)Ex nL (energy-limited equipment), circuitsmay be connected, interrupted or switchedwhile energized only during installation,maintenance or repair.

Equipment connected to energy-limited cir-cuits with type of protection Ex nL (en-ergy-limited equipment) may be switchedunder normal operating conditions.

The maximum permissible values specifiedin the national explosion protection certifi-cates also apply when interconnecting theequipment with energy-limited circuits intype of protection Ex nL IIC.

Limit switch

For operation of the limit switches, switchingamplifiers have to be connected in the out-put circuit. Their function is to control thelimit values of the control circuit according toEN 60947-5-6, thus ensuring operationalreliability of the positioner. If the positioneris installed in hazardous areas, the relevantregulations must be observed.

Binary input BE1

An active contact can be operated at binaryinput 1. The positioner can report the switch-ing state over the bus protocol.

Binary input BE2

A passive, floating contact can be operatedat binary input 2.The positioner can report the switching stateover the bus protocol.

Solenoid valve (forced venting function)

For positioners fitted with the optional sole-noid valve for the forced venting function, avoltage of 24 V DC must be connected tothe relevant terminals +81 and –82.

NOTICEIf there is no voltage connected for the sole-noid valve at terminals +81 and –82 orwhen the voltage signal is interrupted, thepositioner vents the actuator and does notrespond to the reference variable.Observe the switching thresholds specifiedin the technical data.

Reading when thepositioner has not yet beeninitialized

If Code 0 appears on the display when apositioner has been initialized. Thepositioner is in the last active operatingmode.

WARNING!The actuator stem moves while the start-upsettings are being performed.Do not touch the actuator stem or obstruct itto avoid risk of injury to hands or fingers.

NOTICEPerform the start-up settings in the same se-quence as listed (section 7.1 to section 7.6).

Note: The positioner performs a test in thestart-up phase while following its automa-tion task at the same time. During thestart-up phase, operation on site is unre-stricted, yet write access is limited.

7.1 Defining the valve closedposition

To adapt the positioner to the operating di-rection of the actuator, set slide switch to AIRTO OPEN or AIR TO CLOSE .

AIR TO OPEN = Signal pressure opensthe valve, for fail-safe position: actuatorstem extends/fail close

AIR TO CLOSE = Signal pressure closesthe valve, for fail-safe position: actuatorstem retracts/fail open.

NOTICEThe AIR TO OPEN (AtO) setting always ap-plies to double-acting actuators.

For checking purposes:After successfully completing initialization,the positioner display should read 0 % whenthe valve is closed and 100 % when thevalve is open. If this is not the case, changethe slide switch position and re-initialize thepositioner.

Note: The switch position is prompted priorto an initialization. After an initialization hasbeen completed, changing the switch posi-tion does not have any effect on the opera-tion of the positioner.The positioner only needs to be initializedagain after the fail-safe action of the actua-tor has been changed.

7.2 Setting the volume restrictionQ

The volume restriction Q is used to adapt theair delivery to the size of the actuator:

Actuators with a transit time < 1 s, e.g.linear actuators with an effective areasmaller than 240 cm², require a re-stricted air flow rate (MIN).

Actuators with a transit time 1 s do notrequire the air flow rate to be restricted(MAX).

The position of volume restriction Q also de-pends on how the signal pressure is routedat the actuator in SAMSON actuators:

The “SIDE“ position applies for actuatorswith a loading pressure connection at theside, e.g. Type 3271-5.

The “BACK“ position applies for actua-tors with a loading pressure connectionat the back, e.g. in Type 3277-5.

The “SIDE”restriction position always ap-plies for actuators from other manufac-turers.

Turn until the pressure in the positionerbuilds up, and the control valve moves to itsfinal positions so that the travel/angle of ro-tation can be checked.The angle of rotation on the back of thepositioner is indicated. A horizontal lever(mid position) is equal to 0°.

To ensure the positioner is working prop-erly, the outer bar elements may not blinkwhile the valve is moving through the oper-ating range.Exit Code 1 by pressing the rotarypushbutton ( ).

The permissible range has been exceededwhen the displayed angle is greater than30°, and the outer right or left bar elementblinks.The positioner changes to the fail-safe posi-tion (SAFE).After canceling the fail-safe position (SAFE)(see section 8.2.2) it is absolutely necessaryto check the lever and pin position as de-scribed in section 4.

WARNING!To avoid personal injury or property dam-age caused by the supply air or electricalauxiliary power, disconnect the supply airand electrical auxiliary power (bus line) be-fore exchanging the lever or changing thepin position.

7.6 Initialization

WARNING!During initialization, the control valve movesthrough its entire travel/angle of rotationrange. Therefore, do not start the initializa-tion procedure while a process is running,but only during start-up when all shut-offvalves are closed.

Before starting initialization, check the maxi-mum permissible signal pressure of the con-trol valve. During initialization, thepositioner issues an output signal pressureup to the maximum supply pressure sup-plied. If necessary, limit the signal pressureby connecting an upstream pressure reduc-ing valve.

NOTICEAfter the positioner has been mounted on toanother actuator or its mounting locationhas been changed and prior tore-initializing the positioner, the positionerneeds to be reset to its basic setting (defaultvalues). Refer to section 7.8.

During initialization the positioner adapts it-self optimally to the friction conditions andthe signal pressure demand of the controlvalve. The type and extent of self-adaptationdepends on the set initialization mode:

The time required for an initialization pro-cess depends on the transit time of the actu-ator and take several minutes. After a suc-cessful initialization, the positioner runs inclosed-loop operation indicated by .A malfunctioning leads to the process beingcanceled. The initialization error appears onthe display according to how it has beenclassified by the condensed state. See sec-tion 8.3.

Note: When Code 48 - h0 = YES, the diag-nostics automatically start to plot the refer-ence graphs (drive signal steady-state d1and hysteresis d2) after initialization hasbeen completed.tESt d1 or tESt d2 appear on the display inan alternating sequence.An error during the plotting of the referencegraphs is indicated on the display overCode 48 - h1 and Code 81.The positioner still works properly, eventhough the reference graph plotting has notbeen completed successfully.

7.6.4 SUb substitute calibration

A complete initialization procedure takesseveral minutes and requires the valve tomove through its entire travel range severaltimes. This initialization mode, however, isan emergency mode, in which the controlparameters are estimated and not deter-mined by an initialization procedure. As aresult, a high level of accuracy cannot beexpected. You should always select a differ-ent initialization mode if the plant allows it.

The SUb initialization mode is used to re-place a positioner while the process is run-ning. For this purpose, the control valve isusually fixed mechanically in a certain posi-tion, or pneumatically by means of a pres-sure signal which is routed to the actuatorexternally. The blocking position ensuresthat the plant continues to operate with thisvalve position.

By entering the blocking position (Code 35),closing direction (Code 34), pin position(Code 4), nominal range (Code 5) and di-rection of action (Code 7), the positionercan calculate the positioner configuration.

NOTICEPerform a reset before re-initializing thepositioner if the substitute positioner has al-ready been initialized. Refer to section 7.8.

Note: If no settings are entered within120 seconds, the enabled configurationfunction becomes invalid.

9 Adjusting the limit switch

The positioner version with an inductive limitswitch has one adjustable tag (1) mountedon the shaft which operates the proximityswitch (3).

For operation of the inductive limit switch,the corresponding switching amplifier (seesection 5.2.1) must be connected to the out-put.

If the tag (1) is inside the field of the switch,the switch assumes a high resistance. If thetag is outside of the field, the switch assumesa low resistance.

Normally, the limit switch is adjusted suchthat it will provide a signal in both end posi-tions of the valve. The switch, however, canalso be adjusted to indicate intermediatevalve positions.

The desired switching function, i.e. whetherthe output relay shall be picked up or re-leased when the tag has entered the field,has to be determined, if necessary, at theswitching amplifier.

Setting the switching point:

NOTICEDuring adjustment or testing, the switchingpoint must always be approached frommid-position (50 %).

To ensure safe switching under any ambientconditions, the switching point should be ad-justed to a value of approx. 5 % before themechanical stop (OPEN – CLOSED).

10 Maintenance

The positioner does not require any mainte-nance.

There are filters with a 100 m mesh size inthe pneumatic connections for supply andoutput which can be removed and cleaned,if required.

The maintenance instructions of any up-stream supply air pressure reducing stationsmust be observed.

11 Servicing explosion-protecteddevices

If a part of the device on which the explo-sion protection is based needs to be ser-viced, the device must not be put back intooperation until a qualified inspector has as-sessed it according to explosion protectionrequirements, has issued an inspection cer-tificate or given the device a mark of confor-mity.

Inspection by a qualified inspector is not re-quired if the manufacturer performs a rou-tine test on the device prior to putting it backinto operation. The passing of the routinetest must be documented by attaching amark of conformity to the device. Replaceexplosion-protected components only byoriginal, routine-tested components from themanufacturer.

Devices that have already been operatedoutside hazardous areas and are intendedfor future use inside hazardous areas mustcomply with the safety requirements placedon serviced devices. Before being used in-side hazardous areas, test the devices ac-cording to the specifications for servicingexplosion-protected devices.

Read section 13 for maintenance, calibra-tion and adjustment work inside and outsidehazardous areas.

12 Firmware update (serialinterface)

Firmware updates on positioners currently inoperation can be performed as follows:

When updates are performed by a serviceemployee appointed by SAMSON, the up-date is confirmed on the positioner by thetest mark assigned by SAMSON’s QualityAssurance.

In all other cases, only persons from theplant operator with written approval mayperform updates. This person must confirmthe update on the positioner.

Laptops and PCs connected to the powersupply must use an additional safety barrier.

This does not apply to laptops in battery op-eration. In this case, it is assumed that a bat-tery-powered laptop runs briefly for soft-ware programming or for testing purposes.
