Operation AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2

6. Operation

Different operation modes (states) are available.The current operation mode is indicated in the first line of the display:

Figure 34: Example: Operation mode Off

This chapter describes the characteristics of the different operation modes; the respective functions are described in separate chapters.

6.1. Operation mode Off

The selector switch is in position 0 (OFF).

●

Characteristics

The indication in the top row of the display shows:Off

●

Electric operation is not possible (not even EMERGENCY operation).

●

The controls remain fully operative as far as signalling is concerned (controls’ power supply is maintained).

●

Push buttons C can be used for menu navigation via the display.

6.2. Operation mode Local

Selector switch is in position Local control (LOCAL).

●

Characteristics

The indication in the top row of the display shows:Local

●

In motor operation, the actuator can be controlled locally via the push buttons

(OPEN), STOP, (CLOSE).

●

Faults and warnings without automatic reset can be confirmed with the push button RESET.

6.2.1. Push-to-run operation or self-retaining Local

Parameter Self-retaining Local M0076 determines the actuator operation behaviour to operation commands via push buttons on local controls.

Customer settings M0041

Local controls M0075

Self-retaining Local M0076

Default value: OPEN and CLOSE Setting values:

Off (push-to-run op.)

OPEN

Push-to-run operation activated, self-retaining off: Actuator only runs in direction OPEN or CLOSE while an operation command is

being received.The actuator stops if the operation command is cancelled. In direction OPEN = self-retaining (in direction CLOSE push-to-run operation): After an operation command in direction OPEN, the actuator continues to run, even

if the operation command is cancelled (self-retaining).The actuator is either stopped by the STOP command or if end position OPEN or an intermediate position OPEN has been reached.

In direction CLOSE = self-retaining (in direction OPEN push-to-run operation):

Page 33

Actuator controls AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Operation

After an operation command in direction CLOSE, the actuator continues to run, even if the operation command is cancelled (self-retaining).The actuator is either stopped by the STOP command or if end position CLOSED or an intermediate position CLOSE has been reached.

OPEN and CLOSE

In directions OPEN and CLOSE = self-retaining: After an operation command, the actuator continues to run in directions OPEN or

CLOSE, even if the operation command is cancelled (self-retaining).The actuator is either stopped by the STOP command or if an end position or intermediate position has been reached.

Direct reversal of operation is not possib le. Operation commands in directions OPEN or CLOSE must be stopped first by STOP command. Only then is an operation command into the opposite direction allowed.

OPEN & CL w/o STOP

In directions OPEN and CLOSE = self-retaining without stop: Direct reversal of operation is also possible without the STOP command. However,

operation can be stopped at any time by the STOP command.

Information

Hold down push buttons (OPEN) or (CLOSE) for more than 2 seconds to activate self-retaining, press STOP to reset the operation mode to push-to-run operation.

6.3. Operation mode Remote

Selector switch is in position Remote control (REMOTE).

Characteristics

The indication in the top row of the display shows the set source of the operation commands:

●

Remote (parallel interface)

●

Remote II (parallel interface, push button station)

Depending on the control, a distinction is made between:

●

OPEN - CLOSE control (operation mode Remote OPEN - CLOSE): Control is made via binary operation commands OPEN, STOP, CLOSE. (or for activated Multiport Valve function via operation commands CW, CCW)

●

Setpoint control (operation mode Remote SETPOINT): Control via analogue operation commands, e.g. 4 – 20 mA.

●

Information

Binary signals (e. g. +24 V DC) via digital inputs are only recognised as valid operation commands if the signal is present for at least 10 ms.

●

If a positioner or process controller is available, change-over between OPEN CLOSE control (operation mode Remote OPEN - CLOSE) and setpoint control (operation mode Remote SETPOINT) is possible. Refer to chapter <Changeover between OPEN - CLOSE control and setpoint control>.

6.3.1. Push-to-run operation or self-retaining Remote

7. Basic settings for commissioning

Definition

Basic settings such as type of seating, torque and limit switching are required for safe commissioning of the AUMATIC together with the actuator. Basic settings for display, such as date and time or display formats, can be changed, if required.

7.1. Type of seating for end positions

●

Function

Selection of the type of seating (according to valve manuf acturer's specifications)

- Limit seating in end position

- Torque seating in end position

●

For end positions OPEN and CLOSE, the following can be set individually:

Limit seating

The controls switch off the actuator in the end positions (OPEN/CLOSED) set via limit switching.

For end position seating via limit switching, you have to account for the overrun of the actuator. Overrun [1] is the tra v el from s witching off until complete standstill.The overrun depends on the inertia of both the actuator and the valve and the delay time of the controls.

Figure 35: Limit seating

P Tripping position [1] Overrun

The controls switch off the actuator in the end positions via torque switching. For this the torque switching has to be set to the tripping torque specified by the

valve manuf acturer .When reaching the end position, the torque increases within the valve seat. As soon as the set tripping torque is reached, the controls automatically switch off the actuator.

In this context, the limit seating is used to signal that the limit switching will trip shortly

before reaching the end position.

Definition

Application functions are functions used to adapt the AC to special applications.This includes device functions, communication functions and device information.

If they are enabled, these functions can be programmed by the user for his/her specific task using parameters.

8.1. Intermediate positions (pivot points) — Option —

Conditions

Characteristics

The actuator is equipped with a position transmitter.

●

With the AC, up to 8 intermediate positions (pivot points) can be set to any value between 0 % and 100 % of the travel.

●

Each intermediate position can be activated or deactivated individually.

●

When reaching an intermediate position, a signal can be generated.

●

A hysteresis can be defined for each pivot point.

Default values: 0.0 % for all 8 intermediate positions Setting range: 0.0 % (CLOSED) to 100.0 % (OPEN) of the travel

Information The pivot points also apply to the <Operation profile> function.

8.1.2. Signal behaviour of intermediate positions: set

Reaching a pivot point (intermediate position) can be signalled:

●

via indication lights (LEDs) of the local controls or

●

via output contacts

Each pivot point (intermediate position) can be assigned a specific signal behaviour .

pivot point (P). Behaviour D: When passing the pivot point (P), a pulse signal is issued.

Page 47

Actuator controls AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Application functions

Figure 36: Signal behaviour (A to D) of the intermediate positions

Special characteristics of B, C and D

Behaviour of B and C:The signal is directly activated when reaching the set pivot point (P).

Behaviour D: The signal is activated shortly before reaching the set pivot point (P). The switch-on point is determined by pulse duration (+/– range around the pivot point). Pulse dur ation depends on parameter Outer dead band M0148 and amounts to 1.0 % of the travel for default setting.

Information For behaviours B and C, the signal might be omitted if, e.g when using a positioner,

pivot point (P) is not fully reached due to the dead band. In this case, behaviour D can be selected as the dead band is considered.

8.1.3. Hysteresis for intermediate positions: set

The hysteresis determines the tripping point of the signal.

Example

Parameter Pivot point 6 M0253 is set to 50.0 % of the travel. Parameter Hysteresis 6 M0282 is set to 1.0 %. Figure 37: Signal behaviour B, C, D for hysteresis = 1 %

Operation mode Remote (Selector switch = position Remote control). With the function <Two-wire control>, the actuator can be operated to end position

OPEN or CLOSED via a digital input. In this function, the actuator only reacts to commands via the input OPEN / CLOSE.

Other inputs to which the operation commands OPEN, STOP, CLOSE were assigned, do not have any function.

Execute operation commands via digital input:

Designation of digital input OPEN / CLOSE (wiring diagram designation: OPEN/CLOSE

●

Input OPEN / CLOSE = low level (0 V DC or input open): Actuator runs in direction CLOSE.

●

Input OPEN / CLOSE = high level (standard: +24 V DC): Actuator runs in direction OPEN.

Configuration of digital input

For the two-wire control, a digital input for the OPEN / CLOSE signal has to be configured.

Information The logic for the digital inputs may be in verted. Depending on the parameter setting

(e.g.Coding DIN 6 M0128), the input is either High active or Low active. Default setting is High active.

8.4. Positioner (operation mode Remote SETPOINT) — Option —

Conditions

This function requires one of the following equipments within the actuator:

●

Electronic control unit with MWG (Non-Intrusive version)

●

Potentiometer

●

Electronic position transmitter EWG/RWG

Further conditions for the positioner operation mode:

●

Positioner enabled and activated.

●

Operation mode Remote (selector switch = position Remote control).

Characteristics

The positioner records setpoint position E1 and actual position value E2 for comparison. Depending on the detected deviation, the actuator motor then runs in direction OPEN or CLOSE.

●

Information

If the actuator is controlled via a setpoint (e.g. 0 – 20 mA), the status indication S0003 on the display shows both the setpoint position E1 and the actual position value E2.

●

If the status indication S0003 only shows the actual position value E2, OPEN

- CLOSE control is active: there is no setpoint control via the positioner. In this case, you have to change-over to setpoint control first, refer to <Change-over between OPEN - CLOSE control and setpoint control> chapter.

On the basis of the determined inner dead bands Xi and the set hysteresis (parameters Positioner hyst. OPEN M0598 or Positioner hyst. CLOSE M0599), the outer dead bands XT are automatically determined.

This reduces the error caused by the overrun after only a f e w oper ations and a high positioning accuracy is achieved.

If the end positions cannot be reached due to inaccurate analogue setpoint signals (0/4 mA or 20 mA), a tolerance for the setpoint within the end position range can be set. If the toler ance is exceeded or not reached, the actuator continues the oper ation until the full end position has been reached.This ensures that the actuator opens and closes fully.

●

Requirements

Function

<Positioner> function must be enabled and activated:

In Split Range operation, a setpoint position E1 can be shared by up to three positioners. A typical application example is a pipeline with a bypass.The actuator mounted on the bypass reacts in the lower limit (e.g. 0 – 10 mA), the actuator on the main valve in the upper limit (e.g. 10 – 20 mA). If the setpoint position is within the setpoint range defined for the individual actuator, the actuator behaviour will be identical to standard positioner operation. If the setpoint position is higher or lower than the upper or the lower limit of the setpoint range of the respective actuator, the actuator will run to positions OPEN or CLOSED.

The upper and lower limit of the respective actuator is defined via the analogue input. (<Input range of setpoint position>)

In addition, the upper and lower limit of the total target value (valid for all actuators grouped in a split range operation).

value E4 (e.g. from a sensor). On the basis of both values, the process controller calculates the position setpoint E1 for positioner [3]. In turn, the positioner [3] compares this target setpoint with the actual position value E2 of the valv e and issues the operation commands (OPEN - CLOSE) for the actuator.

For uncritical closed-loop applications allowing to accept continuous error variab les in the event of failures, e.g. pressure, flow, filling level and temperature control.

PI controllers consist of a P fraction immediately reacting to a control deviation and an I fraction for chronological integration of the input signal (error variable). Due to the additional time constant of the I fraction, the output value takes more time to reach the target status (i.e. inertia of control loop response) whereas positioning accuracy increases at the same time (lower control deviation).

8.5.7. Setting procedure

The setting of the process controller largely depends on the area of controller application. A PI controller suffices for most applications.

Procedure

1. Operate the controller as PT controller, i.e. set the parameters as follows:

- Proportional gain Kp = 1

- Reset time Ti = 1,000 s

- Rate time Td = 0

2. Double proportional gain Kp until the control loop starts to oscillate.

3. Reduce proportional gain Kp to 60 % of the set value.

4. Decrease reset time Ti until the error variable equals zero.

8.5.8. Proportional amplification Kp: set

In the event of an error variable, the P portion immediately (i.e. actively) changes the position value proportionally to the error variable.

If a small error variable already requires a major valve position adjustment, the proportional gain Kp must be increased.

Information If the reaction is too extreme (ov ershoot), the value must be reduced. If the reaction

is too weak, the value must be increased.

8.7. By-pass function — Option —

Application

Function

The by-pass function is used, e.g. for district heating pipelines. Under high pipeline pressure, the gate valve of the main valve cannot be used, pressure compensation via by-pass valve is therefore required.

Two MOVs – one main valve and a by-pass valve – are linked via enable signals Bypass Sync In and By-pass Sync Out. Operation commands can only be e xecuted if one of the two actuators sends the enable signal to the other. Release depends on the end position.This ensures that only the following operation commands may be executed:

●

The main valve can only be operated in directions OPEN or CLOSE if the bypass valve is in end position OPEN.

●

The by-pass valve can only be operated in direction CLOSE if the main valve is in end position CLOSED. However, it can always be operated in direction OPEN.

EMERGENCY behaviour

Example

The emergency behaviour of the by-pass function has the same characteristics as the <EMERGENCY behaviour> function with the following differences:

In an EMERGENCY situation, both controls receive the EMERGENCY signal at the same time.This signal starts the EMERGENCY operation specially defined for the by-pass function. (Parameter EMCY operation M0204 is therefore not available in the <EMERGENCY behaviour> function).

EMERGENCY operation procedure

1. By-pass valve is opened first.

2. Once the by-pass valve is fully opened, the main valve is closed.

3. Once the main valve is fully closed, the by-pass valve is fully opened.

8.8. Lift Plug Valve (LPV) — Option —

Application

A "Lift Plug Valve" is a special valve whose closing element must first be lifted out of its seat or locking position before being rotated for opening or closing the valve. Locking of the valve and/or pressure relief prior to rotation of the closing element can thus be implemented. Once the end position has been reached, the closing element has to be lowered again. Such valves are in particular used for significant pressure differences (pressure relief) and safety-related systems (locking).

Requirements

Function

●

Due to the special design of the LPV valves, they can only be operated in OPEN-CLOSE duty (no modulating duty). For this type of duty, two actuators are required which are operated as a master-slave-system with master actuator (rotary movement) and slave actuator (stroke movement). However, only one actuator or actuator controls is "visible" at the DCS, i.e. the sla ve actuator is completely controlled and monitored by the master actuator. Communication between master and slave actuator is performed via the additional <Parallel interface> I/O Interface 2.

Two actuator controls and actuators are required, one of them is considered as master actuator (MA), the other one as slave actuator (SA).

The actuator controls of the master actuator require an additional <Parallel interface > I/O Interface 2.

Page 65

Actuator controls AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Application functions

Figure 46: Schematic representation of the function of a Lift Plug Valve

The master actuator may generally only be operated in direction OPEN or CLOSE if the slave actuator is fully opened.This is ensured by a signal of the slave actuator to the digital LPV Sync In input of the master actuator as soon as the slave actuator has reached end position OPEN.The slave actuator may generally only be operated in direction CLOSE if the master actuator is in end position OPEN or CLOSED .This is ensured by a corresponding signal of the master actuator to the digital LPV Sync In input of the slave actuator . However, it can alw a ys be operated in direction OPEN.

If the master actuator receives an operation command for direction OPEN or CLOSE, it will first send a command to the slave actuator for operation in direction OPEN. Once the slave actuator has reached end position OPEN and sends the feedback signal, the master actuator executes the requested operation command itself. After reaching the desired end position, it will request the slave actuator to run to end position CLOSED.

8.9. Multiport valve function (operation to position) — Option —

Application

Characteristics

Information

For valv es not equipped with end stops (multi-turn) and with up to 12 ports (multiport valves)

The multiport valve function allows to directly access a valv e port (position) of a valve equipped with up to 12 ports without stopping at any other port (position). Example: Operation from position 2 to 4 without stopping at position 3.

In the operation mode Local, the set position are approached as directly as possible, i.e. the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) depends on the current position of the valve.

In operation mode Remote, up to 10 positions can either be approached with a defined direction of rotation (counterclockwise or clockwise) or as directly as possible . The actuator then operates the valve with the defined direction of rotation or as directly as possible to the defined valve attachment, irrespective of the actuator position.

●

The multiport valve function is only permissible in combination with an AUMA actuator and an AUMA gearbox.

●

The output speed at the output drive (of the gearbox) or the valve should not exceed approx. 0.3 rpm; otherwise positioning accuracy will decrease.

Procedure for commissioning a multiport valve

1. Set/check multiport valve parameters:

(generally, they are set in the factory prior to delivery)

- Actuator type

- Gear reduction ratio

- Number of ports (positions)

- Configuration of digital inputs

2. Define/check positions (of valve ports).

3. Set/check signal behaviour of positions.

4. Set home port (zero position).

5. Approach positions.

6. If required, perform/correct multiport valve parameter settings like inertia, dead

band, backlash compensation and hysteresis.

Unexpected starting of actuator!

When using automatic deblocking with le vel-controlled operation command ev aluation, unexpected starting of actuator into the wrong direction might occur when trying to eliminate a double-sided torque fault (torque faults in directions OPEN and CLOSE are present at the same time).

→

Use automatic deblocking only in combination with edge controlled operation command evaluation (parameter Com. eval. REMOTE M1709).

Characteristics

In case of torque switch tripping in intermediate position (i.e. prior to reaching the end position), the actuator automatically attempts to reach the end position by operation into the opposite direction and executing the actual operation command once again.

Page 75

8.11.1. Heater system within the actuator controls

The heater system is generally used for low temperature (in lo w temperature version up to –60 °C). For an installed heater system, the other heaters (control unit, motor heater) will also be connected to the heater system.

Wiring diagram designation: R5 H Marking of variants within the wiring diagram code (position 11)

●

B = 115 V AC or 230 V AC externally supplied

●

C, E, H = internally supplied via actuator controls

The heater system is temperature-controlled.The heater system will automatically be activated for a temperature range between –5 °C and –10 °C and ensures that the temperature within the controls housing does not fall below –20 °C.

8.11.2. Heater on control unit (actuator) Characteristics

For AUMA actuators with AC actuator controls, a resistance type heater is installed on the control unit (within actuator switch compartment).

The heater minimises condensation within the actuator switch compartment. Wiring diagram designation: R1 H Marking within the wiring diagram code: position 11 = A – H

Information The proper function of the heater can be monitored. For further information, refer to

<Heater system/heater monitoring>.

Activate/deactivate heater on control unit

The heater on the control unit of the actuator can be activated/deactivated. Activation/deactivation can either be permanent or automatically when exceeding/falling short of defined temperature values. An electronic control unit (MWG) is required for automatic setting.

9. Failure functions

Definition

9.1. Reversing prevention time Application

Characteristics

Failure functions are started by certain events and lead to a defined action of the controls or the actuator. A failure operation can be started by a manual action (e.g. pressing an EMERGENCY stop button). In general, a failure operation is automatically started by a fault signal from a monitoring function (e.g. loss of signal).

Prevention of impermissible operation states such as: Operation command in direction OPEN, actuator still runs in direction CLOSE due to the delay time.

The reversing pre vention time (off-time between tw o operation commands in opposite direction) prevents a restart for a defined interval once the motor has switched off.

I/O interface

The failure behaviour is initiated in case of loss of setpoints. The monitoring depends on the preset setpoint range, e.g.:

●

Setpoint = 4 – 20 mA, E1 lower than 3.7 mA = loss of signal

●

Setpoint = 10 – 20 mA, E1 lower than 9.7 mA = loss of signal

For a setpoint range of 0 – 20 mA , monitoring is not possible.

●

The function <Positioner> is activated.

●

Parameter Failure beh. source M0385 is set to I/O interface

The actuator executes the last operation command before it is stopped. If the last operation command was a setpoint definition via analogue input (AIN 1/AIN

2), the lower limit of the setpoint position is used (parameter Low limit AIN 1/Low limit AIN 2).The actuator is operated to the defined end position, usually end position CLOSED.

Behaviour depending on the selector switch position:

Once the failure operation is triggered, the defined position is approached. If the actuator is then moved to another position (e.g. by manual operation), it will try to perform the set failure operation while the selector switch is in position Remote

control (REMOTE).

Information To prevent a new approach to the failure position during manual operation, the se-

lector switch must be set to position Local control (LOCAL) or 0 (OFF) prior to operating the handwheel.

9.3. EMERGENCY behaviour Application

The EMERGENCY behaviour can be used to determine the actuator behaviour in an emergency.

●

Characteristics

The function <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated by the EMERGENCY signal.

●

The actuator performs a defined EMERGENCY operation. For example, the actuator moves to a predefined EMERGENCY position (i.e. end position OPEN or end position CLOSED).

●

As long as the EMERGENCY signal is present, the actuator does not respond to any other operation commands (EMERGENCY signal has top priority).

●

After initiating the EMERGENCY behaviour, binary operation commands (via digital inputs) may have to be sent again.

●

Analogue operation commands (e.g. 0/4 – 20 mA) are immediately executed again.

Condition

For the function <EMERGENCY behaviour>, a digital input for the signal EMERGENCY has to be available and configured.

Immediately active

The <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated as soon as the EMERGENCY signal changes from high to low. Example: In case of a binary EMERGENCY input from +24 V DC to 0 V.This prevents the <EMERGENCY behaviour> from being initiated immediately once the AC is switched on and no EMERGENCY signal is present.

The <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated by a low le vel at the EMERGENCY signal. For this setting, the EMERGENCY has to have a high level before switching on the AC; otherwise <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated immediately after switching on.

10. Monitoring functions

Definition

10.1. Torque monitoring

The monitoring functions signal a warning or a fault as soon as a certain value is outside the permissible range. Faults generally cause an actuator shutdown.

Torque monitoring has the following functions:

●

Valve overload protection against excessive torques (leads to switching off)

●

Torque warning before overload protection tripping (only in combination with electronic control unit in the actuator)

Overload protection

Once the overload protection trips (torque exceeds set tripping torque), the actuator is stopped.

The controls generate a fault indication if:

●

the excessive torque occurs between end positions

●

the excessive torque occurs in the end positions and limit seating is set.

The fault indication is shown in the display

●

Status indications: S0007 Fault or S0011 Failure

Details: Torque fault CLOSE or Torque fault OPEN

The fault has to be acknowledged before the operation can be resumed:

1. either by an operation command in the opposite direction.

For Torque fault CLOSE : Operation command in direction OPEN

For Torque fault OPEN : Operation command in direction CLOSE

Requirements

2. or, in case the torque applied is lower than the preset tripping torque after trip-

ping:

- via the RESET push button in selector switch position Local control (LOCAL).

Depending on the version, tripping torques for overload protection are either set via switches in the actuator or via software parameters in the controls . For the settings, refer to <Torque switching> chapter.

Torque warning

Actuator with electronic control unit (MWG). The torque warning can be used e.g. for self-monitoring or for anticipating

maintenance requirements.

Customer settings M0041

Torque switching M0013

Wrn torque CLOSE M0769 Wrn torque OPEN M0768

Default value: 80 % Setting range: 20 ... 100 % of the set nominal torque

When exceeding the set limit values, the actuator is not stopped, however, the controls generate a warning signal:

●

Status indications: S0005 Warnings or S0008 Out of specification

Details: Torque wrn CLOSE or Torque wrn OPEN

Torque by-pass

By means of the torque by-pass, the torque monitoring is deactivated for a defined (short) time. During this interval, the full actuator torque may be used, for example, to release the actuator from a jammed end position or any other jammed position.

Information If torque by-pass is activated, the interval should be longer than the set time period

for reversing prevention time to ensure torque by-pass will also be effective in the event of reversal of operation.

10.2. Motor protection monitoring (thermal monitoring)

In order to protect against overheating and impermissibly high temperatures at the actuator, PTC thermistors or thermoswitches are embedded in the motor winding. The thermoswitch is tripped as soon as the max. permissible winding temperature has been reached.

The actuator is switched off and the following signals are given:

●

LED 3 (motor protection trippped) on the local controls is illuminated.

●

Status indication: S0007 Fault or S0011 Failure

Details: Thermal fault The motor has to cool down before the operation can be resumed. Depending on the parameter setting (motor protection behaviour), the fault signal is

either automatically reset or the fault signal has to be acknowledged manually. Manual acknowledgement can be made:

●

in selector switch position Local control (LOCAL) via push button RESET.

●

in selector switch position Remote control (REMO TE) via a digital (I/O interface) with the RESET command if a digital input is configured for signal.

In addition, the AC cyclically (once per day) checks the motor protection monitoring for its proper function. If this check fails, the controls generate the fault indication:

10.3. Type of duty monitoring (motor starts and running time)

This function monitors the permissible type of duty (e.g. S2 - 15 min) of the actuator . For this, controls monitor possible excess of

●

permissible motor starts (cycles) per hour

●

permissible running time (on-time) per hour

If any of these values has been e xceeded, the actuator will howe v er not be stopped, but the following warning signals are issued.

●

Status indications: S0005 or S0008

Details: Wrn on time starts

●

Status indications: S0005 or S0008

Details: Wrn on time running

The warning signals will automatically be cleared if the permissible motor starts per second or the permissible running time per hour are no longer reached.

The operational info logger records the number of excesses (warnings) as well as the number of motor starts and motor running times.

Example:

Asset Management M1231

Operational info M0177

Operational info M0188

On time warning 1 M0325 contains total number of all on time warnings. On time warning 2 M0326 contains maximum duration of on time warning

Due to excess of defined starts/h or defined running time/h, the AC issues in total 4 on time warnings: two for 5 min, once for 10 min, once for 17 min. Afterwards the operating data counters contain the following values:

On time warning 1 M0325 = 37 min = total of all periods (5+5+10+17 min) On time warning 2 M0326 = 17 min = longest period

10.4. Operating time monitoring

This function allows the monitoring of the operating time of the actuator. If the actuator needs longer than the set time to move from end position OPEN to end position CLOSED, a warning is signalled (the actuator is not stopped):

●

Status indication S0005 Warnings

The warning indication is automatically cleared once a new operation command is executed.

When the actuator moves from an intermediate position to an end position, the set monitoring time for the whole stroke is assigned in relation to the remaining stroke/travel.

10.5. Reaction monitoring

The AUMATIC monitors whether the actuator moves after an operation command. If no reaction is recorded at the output drive of the actuator within a set time, either

a warning or a fault signal is generated depending on the setting:

●

Status indications: S0005 Warnings or S0008 Out of specification

Details: Wrnn no reaction

●

Status indications: S0007 Fault or S0011 Failure

Details: Fault no reaction

In the event of a fault signal, the fault has to be acknowledged to be able to resume the operation.The acknowledgement is made:

●

in selector switch position Local control (LOCAL) via push button RESET.

●

in selector switch position Remote control (REMO TE) via a digital (I/O interface) with the RESET command if a digital input is configured for signal.

In case of operation from an intermediate position, reaction monitoring will only be performed if the actuator is equipped with a position feedback.
