    摘要: A method and a device test the operating safety of a process control device with a control element and an actuator to move the control element, as well as a position controller in a safety circuit. A control unit is connected with the position controller and is coupled to the actuator such that the actuator can be operated to move the control element from an initial condition to a final condition in the event of an incident with the aid of a controlling of the actuator by the control unit. A measurement device acquires measurement signals indicating movement of the control element from the initial condition. The position controller comprises a control signal generator to generate a control signal for partial movement of the control element in a test cycle for the process control device, and to transmit the control signal via a signal connection from the position controller to the control unit.

    摘要: In a method or system for function testing of a safety valve in engineering plant, it is tested whether the safety valve travels from a normal position to a predetermined final position in a certain operating situation of the plant. A bypass the valve bypasses the safety valve and assumes an idle position in a normal operation of the plant and a predetermined test position for function testing of the safety valve. The test position of the bypass valve is established such that a predetermined fluid flow through the bypass valve is permitted.

    摘要: In a pneumatic actuator for setting a control armature, a first working chamber and a second working chamber are pneumatically separated from each other by a moveable dividing wall to which the control armature is coupled in a force-transmitting manner. The dividing wall, in case of a pressure difference between the working chambers, is displaced in a first control direction. A positioner is adapted to output at least one pneumatic control signal to the first working chamber. The first and the second working chambers are pneumatically connected to each other via a pneumatic short-circuit duct with a balancing valve disposed in the short-circuit duct for at least one of closing or opening the short-circuit duct. The balancing valve is driveable by the positioner such that in case of a certain operating condition, the balancing valve pneumatically short-circuits the first and the second working chamber for achieving a pressure balance between the chambers.

    摘要: The invention pertains to a method for verifying the performance of a test of the functionality of an actuator (1) with a drive (2) and a valve (3a), where the valve (3a) can be moved by the drive (2), which uses a drive element (3) acting on the valve (3a); where the drive element (3) and thus the actuating element of the valve can be moved by means of a position controller (5) over a portion of the actuating distance to perform the partial-stroke freedom-of-movement test and thus to test the functionality of the actuator (1), and where the position controller (5) has a distance sensor (7)—the primary sensor—and a first evaluation unit (8) for evaluating and storing the signals of the distance sensor (7). According to the invention, a second evaluation unit (13a) is used, which detects the movement of the actuator (1) and simultaneously acquires and records a protocol of this movement, and in that a second sensor (11) connected to the second evaluation unit (13a) is used independently to detect the movement of the actuating element.

    摘要: The invention relates to a positioner (10) for an actuator (12) comprising a processing unit (22) and an output unit (20) which can be connected to an actuating drive (15) of an actuator (12), as well as a measurement unit (24). The invention is characterized in that said positioner (10) comprises a current source (26) which can be connected to a voltage source (30) of a control system (14) via a single two-wire current loop (28). The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating a positioner (10) including the transmission of measuring values recorded in the positioner (10) to a higher-level controller (14). The method is characterized in that the actuating signals are transmitted in a digital form whereas the measuring data is transmitted to a higher-level controller in an analog form, with both digital and analog signals being transmitted on the same two-wire line.
