Valve / Actuator Mounting

If ordered as a part of a control valve assembly, the
factory will mount the wireless position monitor on
the actuator and calibrate the instrument. If you
purchased the wireless position monitor
separately,you will need a mounting kit to mount the
wireless position monitor on the actuator. The
following procedures are general guidelines you
should consider when mounting the wireless position
monitor. See the instructions that come with the
mounting kit for detailed information on mounting the
wireless position monitor to a specific actuator
model.

The feedback system for the 4310 wireless position
monitor utilizes a magnetic field for true
linkage−less, non−contacting position measurement.
In order to prevent inadvertent stem movement while
the instrument is in operation, magnetic tools (such
as a magnetic−tipped screwdriver) should not be
used.

CAUTION

The magnet material has been
specifically chosen to provide a
long−term stable magnetic field.
However, as with any magnet, care
must be taken when handling the
magnet assembly. Another high
powered magnet placed in close
proximity (less than 25 mm) can cause

permanent damage. Potential sources
of damaging equipment include, but
are not limited to: transformers, DC
motors, stacking magnet arrays, and
magnetic tipped screwdrivers.

As a general rule, do not use less than
50% of the magnet array for full travel
measurement. Performance will
decrease gradually as the array is
increasingly subranged.

The linear magnet arrays have a valid
travel range indicated by arrows
molded into the piece. This means that
the hall sensor (on the back of the
4310 housing) has to remain within
this range throughout the entire valve
travel. See figure 3.

The linear magnet arrays are
symmetrical. Either end may be up.

There are a variety of mounting brackets and kits
that are used to mount the 4310 to different
actuators. However, despite subtle differences in
fasteners, brackets, and connecting linkages, the
procedures for mounting can be categorized as
follows:

D Linear or sliding−stem actuators with up to

4 inch travel

D Rotary actuators with travel up to 90 degrees.

See figure 4 for the different travel feedback magnet
assemblies.

from the magnet array moving outside
the range of the index mark in the
feedback slot of the 4310 housing.

3. Center the feedback array inside the retaining
slot 5.7 mm (0.22 inch) away from the bottom base
of the housing as measured from the center of the
feedback array bolt holes to the base of the housing
(see figure 5).

4. Align the magnet array as shown in figure 5.

5. Tighten the fasteners.

6. Mount the wireless positioner monitor to the
mounting bracket, using the mounting bolts. Any of
the mounting holes may be used for linear actuators.
See figure 6.

Guidelines for Mounting on
Quarter−Turn (Rotary) Actuators

The 4310 wireless position monitor can be mounted
to any quarter−turn (rotary) actuator, as well as
those that comply with the NAMUR guidelines. A
mounting bracket and associated hardware are
required. Refer to figure 7.

Before mounting, verify the rotary motion is 45 to 90
degrees of rotation.

1. Attach the magnet assembly to the actuator shaft,
as shown in figure 8. Position the magnet assembly

19.5 mm (0.77 inch) away from the bottom base of
the housing as measured from the base of the
feedback array to the base of the housing.

Wireless Communications

Devices in a WirelessHART network are time
synchronized and send their data to the gateway at
selectable update rates. The update rates of the
device have an effect on the number that the
gateway can service. For example, if each device
sent an update once per minute the gateway could
support 100 devices. Figure 10 shows the
correlation between the number of devices that can
be supported versus update rates.

Battery powered devices conserve energy by only
sensing and transmitting data at the selectable
update rate. The faster the update rate the the lower
the life span of a power module. Figures 11, 12, and
13 show the correlation between power module life
and update rate, the number of children, and
temperature.

D Burst Mode
Burst Mode—Enabling burst mode provides

continuous communication from the wireless position
monitor. Burst mode applies only to the transmission
of burst mode data and does not affect the way other
data is accessed.

Access to information in the instrument is normally
obtained through a wireless network or a 375 Field
Communicator. The Field Communicator or the
network may request any of the information that is
normally available, even while the instrument is in
burst mode. Between each burst mode transmission
sent by the instrument, a short pause allows the
Field Communicator or control system to initiate a
request. The instrument receives the request,
processes the response message, and then
continues “bursting” the burst mode data.

Principle of Operation

The basic concept of the electronic positioner can be
understood by visualizing a magnet mounted to a
piece of equipment that either has a rotating motion
or sliding linear movement. The device has the
ability to detect position of the magnet and transmit
wirelessly the relative position. The 4310 is similar to
a limit switch on a valve but without wires.

The 4310 is a communicating micro−processor
based instrument that includes the use of a hall
sensor to detect the relative position (on, off, or
partially open) of a magnet that is attached to
equipment (e.g. process control valve, either
automated or manual). The 4310 position monitor is
a battery powered device with the power modules
located on the inside of the device. The primary
means of communication is wireless, conforming to
the WirelessHART communication standard. The
device also supports the use of wired
communication using the HART protocol to connect
to a handheld device such as the 375 Field
Communicator. The handheld connection is used for
initial device configuration (i.e. network set−up). The
device includes a local user interface (LCD display
and two pushbuttons) primarily used to calibrate or
define the span of position being measured.
