摘要:
A method is disclosed for detecting the drive type of an actuator, e.g., a pneumatic actuator, having a positioner for operating a final control element in a process engineering plant. The actuator is connected to the positioner by a mounting set, the positioner comprising an electronic control unit, which uses a microcontroller to receive one or more input signals, and to output actuating signals to control the flow of gas to or from the chambers of a single-acting or double-acting pneumatic drive. The position feedback sensors are equipped with a rotational measuring system. During commissioning of the actuator, the relationship between the drive volumes and the position signal is found and compared with transfer characteristics of known drive types. Where there is a match between the transfer characteristic defined by the value pairs of the given actuator and one of the transfer characteristics of the known drive types, the identified drive type is assigned to the given actuator.

The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for displaying changes in parameter values on a display surface. Two successive sampled values (P11, P12 and P21, P22) of, in each case, two parameter values (P1, P2) are represented as oppositely directed vectors with a common origin orthogonally with respect to a dividing line which divides the display surface and that area which is enclosed by the dividing line and the connecting lines between the respectively older sampled value (P11 and P21) of a parameter value (P1, P2) and the respectively more recent sampled value (P12 and P22) of the other parameter value (P2, P1) is highlighted.
摘要:
A sensor arrangement is provided for determining the current rotation angle position of a shaft with respect to a stationary reference point. In order to determine the rotation angle position without wear and tear and with little outlay on materials and little energy requirement during ongoing operation, the coil is arranged between the shaft and a stationary reference point in such a manner that at least one geometrical property of the coil can be changed over the range of rotation angle positions of the shaft. The changed geometrical property of the coil is used to determine the rotation angle position of the shaft.

摘要:
The disclosure relates to a method for identification of the drive type of an actuating drive, e.g., a pneumatic actuating drive, having a position regulator in order to control an actuating member in a process installation. The actuating drive is connected by means of an attachment to the position regulator, with the position regulator having control electronics which receive one or more input signals with the aid of a microcontroller and emit actuating signals in order to ventilate or vent the chambers of a single-acting or double-acting pneumatic drive. The position feedback sensor system is equipped with a rotational measurement system. The actuating range of the actuating drive is passed through completely while setting it up. The angle positions signaled back are recorded. The drive type is determined from the range between the limit angle positions at the actuating range limits of the actuating drive. The knowledge that the angle ranges covered by linear-movement drives and pivoting drives differ significantly can be made use of.
