Abstract
The disclosure relates to a digital position transmitter for control of an actuating element having a positioner in a process installation, with the position transmitter having a regulator with a dead band in order to suppress disturbance signals. It is proposed that the dead band in each case lags the set-value change asymmetrically with respect to the set value.
Claims7
A digital position transmitter for control of an actuating element having a positioner, with the position transmitter having a regulator with a dead band in order to suppress disturbance signals, wherein
- the dead band in each case lags the set-value change asymmetrically with respect to the set value.
An arrangement for control of an actuating element having a positioner in a process installation, comprising:
- a digital position transmitter;
- a position sensor to signal the travel of a valve rod to the position transmitter;
- control electronics to compare a detected travel with a set value;
- an I/P converter of the position transmitter operated by the control electronics for conversion of an electrical control area to an adequate control pressure;
- and
- an actuating drive connected to the I/P converter via a pressure medium supply, whereby a regulator results with a dead band to suppress disturbance signals.
