EL Electropneumatic positionerThe EL electropneumatic positioner combines the precision and adaptability of a
digital electronic control circuit with the smoothness and efficiency of Kinetrol’s
proven proportional servo valve, to give the best available 4-20mA positioning
performance from rotary pneumatic actuators. This unbeatable performance is
combined with the easiest available setup procedure, easiest access to all
functions and options, easy connectibility, and a truly compact all-metal
enclosure, plus unique easy-set isolated angle retransmit and limit switch options
inside the same enclosure.
OPTIONAL LIMIT SWITCHES - V3 mechanical type or inductive proximity sensors,
activated by easy-set cams. Wired via full size robust connector blocks.
FEEDBACK POT DRIVE -
zero backlash, proven trouble-free for life.
FEEDBACK SHAFT - quick-fit interface for connection
to actuators - range of options for direct mounting on
Kinetrol vane-type actuators, Namur industry standard
interface (shown here) for use with any brand of
actuator via standard mount kits or male square for
other rotary / linear applications.
OPTIONAL ANGLE RETRANSMIT CIRCUIT -loop powered linear 4-20 mA, 14-30 V DC supply range,
rangeable down to 30 degrees for full 4-20mA span. Easilyretrofittable, electrically isolated from positioner signal loop.
ENCLOSURE - robust die-cast metal, with tough corrosion-resistant epoxy coating,and O-ring sealing to IP65 / NEMA 4 standard. Layout gives access to all
adjustments immediately on removal of lid.
AIRFLOW CHANGEOVER BLOCK - allows selection of direction in which positioner
moves on loss of signal.
FEEDBACK POT - high quality conductive plastic servo-type with ball bearings.
The EL positioner is designed to drive arotary or linear actuator to a position set bythe 4-20 mA input signal, and then hold itthere until the signal changes.
The microprocessor in the loop powered4-20 mA positioner circuit reads the signal viaone channel of a 12-bit A-D convertor, readsthe position voltage from the feedback pot viathe second channel of the A-D convertor, andcompares the two. If it detects a positiondifferent from that required by the signal, itchanges its output to the servo valve in orderto drive the actuator in the direction requiredto reach the correct position. As the actuatormoves, the feedback pot voltage changes,and the microprocessor continually calculates
how to adjust the servo valve in order toguide the actuator accurately into position.Because the servo valve is a fully proportionaldevice, it can be adjusted precisely andsmoothly to slow the actuator to a stopexactly where it should be. Themicroprocessor is programmed with asophisticated but compact algorithm whichallows this critical dynamic valve adjustmentto be made correctly to give optimal resultswith any actuator/load combination - slow orfast, low friction or high friction, low inertia orhigh inertia, all can be optimised by tuning thePGAIN and DAMP parameters via thepositioner circuit pushbuttons. The 12-bit A-Dconversion gives resolution of about 1/40degree.
The relationship between the input signal anddesired position (the “characteristic”) is storedin the microprocessor’s memory. It can be setto follow any one of eleven pre-programmedcurves between its two endpoints. Theendpoints (each a combination of a signalvalue and a position) are set by the user viathe pushbuttons. One of the eleven curves isa linearly proportional characteristic - thischaracteristic only can be selected to givemovement of the actuator for signalsextrapolated below the low endpoint andabove the high endpoint, or to stop dead onsignals below the low and above the highendpoint. The “stop dead” behaviour is theonly option for the other ten non-linear
curves.
The settings entered by the user are stored innon - volatile memory, and are retained evenif power (i.e. signal) is lost.
