    摘要: A valve control system includes a rotatable valve operably coupled to a motor, a valve position indicator configured to rotate with the rotatable valve, at least two sensing devices configured to detect the valve position indicator, and a controller. The at least two sensing devices include a home position sensing device and an end-of-travel position sensing device. The controller includes valve state determination logic having circuitry configured to monitor a status of a home indicator and an end-of-travel indicator of the rotatable valve, determine a commanded direction of movement of the rotatable valve, monitor the status of the home indicator and the end-of-travel indicator before a valve rotation stop is commanded and after the valve rotation stop is commanded, and determine a current state of the rotatable valve based on the commanded direction of movement and at least one of the status of the home indicator and the end-of-travel indicator.

    摘要: A rotary valve comprises a stator member with a stator face, the stator member having at least two stator channels for conducting a fluid and opening into the stator face; a rotor member with a rotor face facing and in contact with the stator face, the rotor member having a rotor channel in the rotor face, wherein the rotor member is rotatable with respect to the stator member about a rotation axis, such that in a conducting position, the rotor channel interconnects the at least two stator channels to be in fluid communication; and a rotary encoder assembly adapted for determining a rotary position of the rotor member, the rotary encoder assembly comprising an encoder member and an encoder module, which is adapted to sense a rotary position of the encoder member. The encoder member is rigidly connected to the rotor member and surrounds the rotor member.

    摘要: Disclosed is an HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) system which comprises a fluid flow duct (1), a fluid flow valve (7) which is arranged therein and has a valve body (5) in the fluid flow duct (1) and a valve motor (15) which moves the valve body (5), a control circuit for activating the valve motor, a sensor (8) in the fluid flow duct (1) and an evaluation module for evaluating signals of the sensor. To produce an automated functional control, the following procedure is adopted: a first actuation signal is preset for the valve motor by the control circuit, and the actuation signal corresponds to a first setpoint position of the valve body (5), registration of a first signal of the sensor (8) by the evaluation module, and determination of a functional diagnosis of the fluid flow valve on the basis of the first signal of the sensor.
