5 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

5.1 Intended application area

The feedback head Type 8685 and the control head Type 8686
are designed to be mounted on pneumatic actuators of valves Type
2036 for the control of media.

5.2 General description

The feedback head Type 8685 and the control head Type 8686 are
designed exclusively for integrated mounting on an actuator of the
diaphragm valve Type 2036 in sizes RV50, RV70, RV110.

The actuator size is adjusted with DIP switches.
The valve position is recorded by a permanent magnet on the

spindle extension. When a stroke movement occurs, the spindle
extension is guided along a reed sensor (lower/upper end position).

In addition to the electrical position feedback, the device status on
the feedback head and control head are represented visually by
colored LEDs. The status of the integrated pilot valve is also indi­cated by LEDs for the control head.

In the variant with AS-Interface communication, bus status LEDs are
also active.

7.2 Assembly of Type 8685 and Type
8686 on the actuator Type 2036

An adapter set is required for assembly on the actuator Type 2036.
The adapter set (see “Fig. 3”, page 10) includes an adaptation body,

a form seal, three O-rings, four cylinder screws and three switch spindle
pairs. There are different adapter sets for feedback head and control
head. Because of the different working height for actuator sizes RV50,
RV70 and RV110, an adapter set contains different spindle lengths.

NOTE!

Using a switch spindle that does not fit will result in irrepa­rable destruction of the feedback head and/or control head
and the actuator.

▶ Use only switch spindles that match the actuator size. The cor-

responding actuator size identification (RV50, RV70, RV110)
for switch spindles are embossed on the front of the PVC cap
(see “Fig. 5”).

→ Select the switch spindle that matches the actuator size (see

“Fig. 5: Switch spindle identification”).

→ Wet the thread of two switch spindles that match the actuator

size with Loctite screw locking M290.

NOTE!

Using the wrong spindle lead-through will result in
malfunction.

▶ Use only the spindle lead-through that matches the actuator

size (see “Fig. 7”).

NOTE!

No detection or faulty detection of end positions.

▶ Do not change the position of the cap on the switch spindle.
▶ Use the hole ∅ 2.3 for fastening the switch spindle.

→ Push the switch spindles through the matching spindle lead-

throughs. The outside lead-throughs are designed for actuator
size RV70/110, while the inside lead-throughs for actuator size
RV50 (see “Fig. 7”).

Fig. 8: Assembly of switch spindles and form seal

→ Using a suitable tool, screw the two switch spindles onto the

actuator spindles. There is a hole ∅ 2.3 on the spindle side for
this purpose (torque 1.0 Nm ± 0.1 Nm).

→ Place the form seal on the adaptation body (smaller diameter

points upwards).

Step 2: Assembly of the feedback head / control head on the

adaptation body

If the electrical connection is made with a cable gland, we
recommend connecting the wires at this point, since otherwise
the feedback head / control head will have to be removed again
for the electrical connection.

For electrical installation see: “9.2 Device version 24 V DC”
“Device connection for cable gland Type 8685”
“Device connection for cable gland Type 8686”

NOTE!

Faulty detection of end positions.

▶ For actuators with control function B (CFB, NO), the lower end

position must be approached before the feedback head / control
head is placed on the adaptation body. To do this, pressurize the
appropriate pilot air port of the actuator (“Fig. 9”).

▶ Make certain the feedback head / control head is correctly posi-

tioned relative to the actuator: The dummy plug or pressure-relief
valve must be located on the side of the pneumatic connections
of the actuator (see “Fig. 9”).

→ Place the feedback head / control head on the actuator. As you

do, note:

- The dummy plug or pressure-relief valve must be located on the
side of the pneumatic connections of the actuator.

- The switch spindles must lodge inside the recesses on the bottom
of the feedback head / control head. Do not move the caps onto
the switch spindles.

Electrical installation

NOTE!

Faulty detection of end positions.

▶ For actuators with control function B (CFB, NO), the lower end

position must be approached before the feedback head is placed
on the adaptation body. To do this, pressurize the appropriate pilot
air port of the actuator (“Fig. 9”).

▶ Make certain the feedback head is correctly positioned relative

to the actuator: The dummy plug or pressure-relief valve must be
located on the side of the pneumatic connections of the actuator
(see “Fig. 9”).

→ Place the feedback head on the actuator. As you do, note:

- The dummy plug or pressure-relief valve must be located on the
side of the pneumatic connections of the actuator.

- The switch spindles must lodge inside the recesses on the
bottom of the feedback head. Do not move the caps onto the
switch spindles.

→ Push the feedback head onto the adaptation body until no gap is

visible on the form seal. Now align the mounting hole of the feedback
head on each side with the square nut of the adaptation body.

NOTE!

If the torque is too high when screwing in the fastening screw
or if the O-ring is missing, degree of protection IP65 / IP67 is
not ensured.

▶ The fastening screw may only be tightened to a maximum torque

of 0.5 Nm ± 0.1 Nm.

▶ Check the position of the O-ring.

→ Use the two fastening screws M4 and matching O-rings to

fasten the feedback head onto the adaptation body (torque: 0.5
Nm ± 0.1 Nm).

When the supply voltage is applied, the feedback head is operating.

→ Before the device can be used, the basic settings (see section

“10.3.1 Basic settings”) must still be made on the feedback
head.

Electrical installation

Handling the ribbon cable terminal

The multi-pole cable features a ribbon cable terminal - with M12 plug-in
connector branch circuit - for AS-Interface cable harness. The ribbon
cable terminal contacts the AS-Interface cable harness by means of
penetration technology which allows installation by “clipping in” the AS­Interface cable harness without cutting and without removing insulation.

Procedure:

→ Open the ribbon cable terminal

(loosen screws and remove cover).

→ Insert cable harness to fit closely.
→ Close ribbon cable terminal again.
→ Tighten the screws

Loosen the thread-forming screws slightly (approx. 3/4 turn to the
left) and position them on the existing threaded hole and screw in.

9.3.2 AS-Interface connection

AS-Interface (Actuator Sensor Interface) is a field bus system
which is used primarily for networking binary sensors and actuators
(slaves) with a higher-level control (master).

Bus line

Unshielded two-wire line (AS-Interface line as AS-Interface cable
harness) along which both information (data) and energy (power
supply voltage for the actuators and sensors) are transmitted.

Network topology

Freely selectable within wide limits, i.e. star, tree and line networks
are possible. Further details are described in the AS-Interface Spec­ification (A/B slave model conforms to the version 3.0 specification
