Incremental actuator with feedback control diagnostics

A method for controlling operation of an actuator in a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a position sensor communicatively coupled to the actuator, a first voltage value, the first voltage value indicative of a first position of the actuator;
• providing a control signal to the actuator to move to a second position;
• in response to the actuator moving to the second position, determining that the actuator is located in a different position than the second position based on a second voltage value via the position sensor;
• and
• automatically performing a fault correction process to calculate an updated stroke range of the actuator.

A control system for controlling operation of an actuator in a heating, ventilation, or air conditioning (HVAC) system, the control system comprising:

• the actuator communicatively coupled to a position sensor;
• and
• a controller comprising a processing circuit configured to:
• receive, via the position sensor, a first voltage value, the first voltage value indicative of a first position of the actuator;
• provide a control signal to the actuator to move to a second position;
• in response to the actuator moving to the second position, determine that the actuator is located in a different position than the second position based on a second voltage value via the position sensor;
• and
• automatically perform a fault correction process to calculate an updated stroke range of the actuator.
