Functional description
The ARI-STEVI-POS® electropneumatic positioner is attached to single-acting pneumatic control valves to convert an electrical 4 to 20 mA setpoint signal into a valve position. The actual position of the control valve is detected via a wear-free, contactless magnetic Hall sensor and compared with the setpoint.
The positioner uses a pneumatic module to regulate the pressure in the pneumatic actuator so
that the actual position lies within a defined deadband range around the setpoint.
The most important settings, such as inversion, deadband and tight-closing function, can be conveniently adjusted via handy switches.
The LCD display allows the user to monitor the status of the position controller.
When the hood is open, it is possible in manual operating mode to move the valve via the position controller using the pushbutton.
In addition to an automatically adjusting deadband, various fixed deadbands of 0.5 %, 1 % and 3 % can also be set..
With the tight-closing function, the pneumatic actuator is completely vented as soon as the setpoint falls below or exceeds the adjusted limits in order to build up the max. force for closing.
The function can be switched on or off as required for each direction via a switch.
