Automax Logix Series 1000 Digital Positioner
GENERAL INFORMATION
The following instructions are designed to assist in
unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as
required on Logix™ Series 1000 Digital Positioners.
Series 1000 is the term used for all the positioners
contained herein; however, specific numbers indicate
features specific to a model (i.e., Logix 1200 indicates
that the positioner uses HART
and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review
this bulletin prior to installing, operating, or performing
any maintenance on the positioner. For quick calibration
instructions, see page 11.
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to
valve parts, users must strictly adhere to WARNING
and CAUTION notes. Modifying this product,
substituting non-factory or inferior parts, or using
maintenance procedures other than outlined could
drastically affect performance and be hazardous to
personnel and equipment, and may void existing
warranties.
WARNING: Standard industry safety practices must be

Logix 1200 Positioner Overview
The Logix 1200 positioner is a two-wire, 4-20 mA input,
digital valve positioner which utilizes the HART protocol
to allow two-way remote communications with the
positioner. The positioner can control both double and
single-acting actuators and operates with a signal as
low as 3.2 mA. Below 3.2 mA, the operation and
communication are suspended (3.2 mA is required
to restart the positioner).
Since the positioner is insensitive to supply pressure
changes and can handle supply pressures from 35 to
150 psig, a supply regulator is usually not required;
however, an air filter is required due to the close
clearances in the spool assembly.
NOTE: The air supply should conform to ISA Standard S7.3
(a dew point at least 18 degrees Fahrenheit (7° C) below
ambient temperature, particle size below five microns, and
oil content not to exceed one part per million).
Positioner Operation
The Logix 1000 positioner is an electric feedback
instrument. Positioning is based on a balance of two
signals: one proportional to the command input signal
and the other proportional to the valve stem position.
The supply pressure for the positioner pressure
modulator is tapped off the main supply and is filtered
as it passes through a field-replaceable, coalescing filter
element in the module. Next it passes through an internal
pressure regulator that regulates it to approximately
22 psig. The air then passes through an orifice that
restricts the flow and air consumption.
The pressure modulator further controls the air to
6-12 psig, using a spring-diaphragm flapper that is
attracted by an electromagnet to a nozzle. A temperature
compensated hall effect sensor mounted on a circuit
board senses the spool valve position. The hall effect
sensor and circuitry create an inner feedback loop,
which determines how much current to send to the
electromagnet for a desired spool valve position. The
electromagnet in the feedback loop varies the nozzleflapper spacing, which regulates the output pressure to
6-12 psig, proportional to the digital position algorithm.
When the command and stem position signals are equal,
the system will be in equilibrium and the valve stem will
be in the position called for by the command signal.
If these opposing signals are not equal, the spool valve
will move up (or down) and, by means of the pressure
modulator, change the output pressures and flow rate.
This causes the actuator pistons to move until the signal
of the position sensor equalizes with the command signal.

Detailed Sequence of Positioner Operations
An increase in the command signal causes the modulator
pressure to increase, pushing the spool assembly upward
from its equilibrium position. This opens the spool valve
ports, supplying air to Output 1 and exhausting air from
Output 2 (Figure 1). This causes the actuator shaft to rotate.
The shaft rotation is transmitted back to the positioner
through the stem position feedback linkage, changing
proportionally to the valve stem position. The actuator
shaft continues to rotate until the stem position signal
of the sensor increases sufficiently to counter the signal
being sent to the control algorithm. At this point, the
spool is at its equilibrium position as the pressures in
the cylinder stabilize and the air flow to the actuator
decreases. The computer will then make small null
adjustments to fine-tune the desired position and
compensate for changes in dynamic loading. A decrease
in the command signal reverses the described actions.
Mounting the Positioner
CAUTION: Positioner shaft is spring-loaded and features
mechanical stops at each end of stroke. Failure to
follow these procedures carefully may result in severe
damage to positioner. Read through entire procedure
before starting.
3. Stroke the actuator to determine direction of rotation
as shown in Figure 3. Pay specific attention to the slot
that will engage positioner shaft.
4. Carefully grasp positioner shaft with pliers as shown in
Figure 4. Turn shaft to determine direction of rotation.
Figure 3: Actuator Shaft
1. Attach positioner mounting bracket to actuator using
fasteners supplied with bracket (Figure 2). Tighten
bolts finger-tight only at this time.
2. Install coupler (if required – coupler is not required
for NAMUR mounting) on actuator shaft, making sure
it is centered.
Figure 4: Turn Positioner Shaft
5. Making sure positioner shaft rotation matches actuator
shaft rotation, place positioner on mounting bracket
(Figure 5). Make sure shafts engage. Do not insert
fasteners into positioner at this time.
6. Double-check actuator and positioner rotation. Hold
positioner against bracket with fingertips as shown in
Figure 6.

WARNING: Keep away from positioner sides, as
positioner will suddenly rotate on bracket if not
properly aligned and cause injury.
Slowly rotate the actuator. If the positioner shaft is
properly aligned, the shaft will rotate freely. If not, the
mechanical stops will grab, causing the positioner body
to rotate on bracket.
Figure 5: Positioner on Mounting Bracket
7. If the shaft is not properly aligned, repeat steps 3-6.
Otherwise, attach positioner to bracket with fasteners
included with bracket. Tighten bolts finger-tight only at
this time.
8. Stroke actuator/positioner several times to align shafts.
Tighten all fasteners.
Grounding Screw
The green grounding screw that is located inside the
termination cap should be used to provide the unit with an
adequate and reliable earth ground reference. This ground
should be tied to the same ground as the electrical
conduit. Additionally, the electrical conduit should be
earth grounded at both ends of its run.
NOTE: The green grounding screw must not be used to
terminate signal shield wires.
Compliance Voltage (Figure 7)
Output compliance voltage refers to the voltage limit that
can be provided by the current source. A current loop
system consists of the current source, wiring resistance,
barrier resistance (if present), and the Logix Series 1200
impedance. The Logix 1200 positioner requires that the
current loop system allow for a 12 VDC drop across the
positioner at maximum loop current. The 12 VDC drop
across the Logix 1200 positioner terminals is generated
by the positioner from the 4-20 mA loop current input.
CAUTION: Never connect a voltage source directly
across the positioner terminals. This could cause
permanent circuit board damage.
Tubing Positioner to Actuator
Proper tubing orientation is critical for the positioner to
function correctly and have the proper failure mode. Referring
to Figure 1, note that for air-to-open valves, the Output 1 port
of the positioner manifold, is tubed to the ‘open’ side of the
actuator. The Output 2 port of the positioner manifold is tubed
to the ‘closed’ side of the actuator. For air-to-close valves the
above configuration is reversed.
Wiring and Grounding Guidelines
Input Cable Shielding (Figure 8)
The input loop current signal to the Logix 1200 positioner
should be in shielded cable. The shields must be tied to a
ground at only one end of the cable to provide a place for
environmental electrical noise to be removed from the cable.
In general, shield wire should be connected at the source.

Figure 7: Compliance Voltage
Cable Requirements
The Logix 1200 positioner utilizes the HART Communication
protocol. This communication signal is superimposed on the
DC 4-20 mA current signal. The two frequencies used by the
HART protocol are 1200 Hz and 2200 Hz. In order to prevent
distortion of the HART communication, cable capacitance
and cable length restrictions must be calculated. The cable
length must be limited if the capacitance is too high.
Selecting a cable with lower capacitance/foot rating will allow
longer cable runs. In addition to the cable capacitance, the
network resistance also affects the allowable cable length.
In order to determine if the loop will support the Logix 1200
positioner, perform the following calculation.

Voltage = 19 VDC - 0.020 A*(300 Ω + 25 Ω)

The voltage 12.5 VDC is greater than the required
12 VDC; therefore, this system will support the Logix
1200 positioner. The Logix 1200 positioner has an input
resistance equivalent to 600 Ω at a 20 mA input current.
In order to calculate the maximum network capacitance,
use the formula shown in the next column. (NOTE: To
control cable resistance, No. 24 AWG cable should be used
for runs less than 5000 feet. For cable runs longer than
5000 feet, No. 20 AWG cable should be used.)

Collector Board
The collector board assembly provides a central routing
for all electronic connections in the positioner, linking the
pressure modulator coil, hall effect sensor and field inputs
to the main electronics. The collector board assembly also

Stem Position Sensor
The position feedback assembly transmits valve position
information to the processor. This is accomplished by
means of a rotary position sensor that connects to the
valve stem through a feedback linkage. To provide
accurate tracking of the pin in the slot, the follower arm
is biased against one side of the slot with a rotary spring.
This spring also automatically moves the position
feedback assembly to its limit in the unlikely event of
failure of any component in the linkage.

and remove the sensor from the housing.
5. Turn position sensor shaft until the dot on the slot is
oriented with the wires on the pot (Figure 15).
6. Insert the position sensor into the shaft with the wires
pointing toward the main PCB assembly. Turn the
position sensor clockwise until the bolting slots align
with the housing screw holes and the wires on the
sensor protrude over the main PCB assembly tray.
7. Carefully center position sensor on the shaft bore,
insert and tighten the screws. Do not over tighten.
8. Route wires along the position sensor and reconnect
to sensor board.
LED Indicators
The Logix 1200 positioner has three LED indicators that
are visible through a window in the main cover. Only one
LED will blink at any given time. Each LED has a different
color to convey basic information about the positioner
status. Green indicates that the positioner is operating
normally. Yellow indicates that a ‘customer defined limit’
or ‘alert’ has been reached. Red indicates that an error
condition exists. The HART hand-held communicator or
ValTalk PC software must be used to determine the
specific reason for a yellow or red LED status.
During stroke and actuator calibration, no LED will blink.
After calibration is complete, the green LED indicates that
the calibration was completed successfully. If the yellow
or red LED blinks after a calibration process, a warning or
error was detected and the HART hand-held or ValTalk
must be used to identify the specific calibration error.
NOTE: If the LED indicator changes from green to yellow
after a calibration process, the user may have set a
warning limit (position alert, cycle counter alert, etc.).
Use the HART hand-held communicator or ValTalk to
monitor status.
Quick-Cal Button
If the HART hand-held communicator or ValTalk PC
software is not available, the Logix 1200 positioner has a
Quick-Cal™ feature that performs a stroke calibration and
allows basic operation of the positioner.
NOTE: The Quick-Cal operation retains all previously
configured information. All settings remain unchanged
except stroke calibration parameters. If the device is
being installed for the first time, factory default
parameters are used.
The Quick-Cal button and DIP switch settings are located
on the collector board inside the main housing chamber
as shown in Figure 16.
Caution: Accessing this function requires removal of the
main cover. The user must take all precautions if this
operation is performed in explosion-proof areas or
serious injury can occur.
Make the appropriate configuration settings, using the DIP
switches on the collector board. ATO/ATC selects air-to-

open or air-to-close (this is determined by the mechanical
tubing of the actuator). The LIN_VALV/ROT_VALV button
allows the user to select linear or rotary feedback linkage.
The LIN/CUSTOM option allows selection of linear or custom
control characterization. If Custom is selected, the positioner
activates custom characterization. If the device is being
installed for the first time, the default custom
characterization is equal percent. However, if a custom curve
has been previously loaded, the previous curve will be used.
The DIP switch settings are only read after the Quick-Cal
button is pressed; otherwise, the settings do not have any
effect on positioner operation. The DIP switch settings will
override any previous configuration done using ValTalk or
the HART hand-held. Press the Quick-Cal button for five
seconds. If the button is released before five seconds have
elapsed, no action will be taken. After five seconds, the
positioner will begin a stroke calibration. Release the QuickCal button once calibration has started. The positioner will
automatically stroke the valve. No LED will blink during this
process. If the calibration was successful, upon completion
the green LED will blink and the valve will be in control
mode. If the yellow LED blinks immediately after a stroke
calibration, this usually indicates that the valve did not
stroke. Check the air supply and cable connections. If a
calibration error occurred, the red LED will blink. The cause
of a red LED is generally a stem position linkage/feedback
sensor alignment problem. For linear linkage, the active
electrical feedback angle is 65 degrees. For rotary linkage,
the active electrical feedback angle is 95 degrees. The red
LED indicates that the mechanical travel is not centered
within the electrical sensor travel. If a red LED is blinking
after a stroke calibration, loosen the feedback sensor
mounting screws as shown in Figure 15. Turn the stem
position sensor slowly while watching the LED indicators.
Try small movements, both clockwise and counterclockwise. If the yellow LED begins to blink, the feedback
sensor has been correctly moved into range. Tighten the
feedback sensor mounting screws and repeat the Quick-Cal
procedure. If the LED remains red even after moving the full
length of the sensor slot, verify the following items:
LIN_VALV/ROT_VALV DIP switch setting, stem clamp and
take-off arm height.
NOTE: If the stroke stops in the closed position, the error
occurred when the position sensor/linkage was at closed
position. If the stroke stops in the open position, the error
occurred when position sensor/linkage was at the open
position. No calibration parameters are saved if an error
occurs. If the power to the positioner is removed, the unit
will power-up with the previous configuration parameters.
A successful calibration will save parameters.
If the valve does not stroke after pressing the Quick-Cal
button, this may be an indication that the internal regulator
pressure and/or the driver module minimum pressure is low.
Refer to the following instructions to check and set the
internal regulator and minimum pressure settings.
Note that the tools and equipment used in the next two

Checking or Setting Internal Regulator
Pressure
1. Disconnect the air supply from the positioner.
2. Remove the main cover. The regulator pressure set
port is factory plugged with a No. 10-32 hex plug
(Figure 18). Replace hex plug with a No. 10-32 x .06
barb fitting.
3. Using a 0 to 30 pressure gauge attached to some
.06 flexible tubing, push the .06 tubing onto the barb
fitting shown in Figure 18.
4. Reconnect the air supply to the positioner and read the
internal regulator pressure on the 0 to 30 gauge (the
internal regulator should be set to 22.0 psi). Adjust the
regulator pressure by turning the set screw with a
small flat screwdriver.
5. Once the regulator pressure is set, remove the air
supply to the positioner, and replace the No. 10-32 x
.06 barb fitting with the No. 10-32 hex plug.
Checking or Setting the Driver Module
Minimum Pressure
Once the internal regulator pressure is set to 22.0 psi,
the driver module minimum pressure can be checked.
To do this, refer to Figure 17, and proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the valve is bypassed or in a safe condition.
2. Disconnect power from the positioner.
3. Remove the main cover and remove the .06 flexible
tubing from the orifice.
4. Obtain a No. 10-32 x swivel elbow (pneumadyne part
No. SFL-10 or equivalent).
5. Remove the No. 10-32 x .016 orifice (Figure 11) from
the driver module, and screw in the No. 10-32 x
swivel elbow.
6. Direct the swivel elbow so the minimum pressure test
port is accessible.
7. Screw a No. 10-32 x .06 barb fitting into the test port,
and screw the No. 10-32 x .016 orifice into the end of
the elbow as shown.
8. Connect the tubing from the internal regulator output
port to the orifice.
9. Using some .06 flexible tubing, connect a 0 to 30
gauge to the minimum pressure set port.
10.Once the gauge is connected, reapply the positioner
air supply. The minimum pressure should now be
registering on the gauge and must be 3.8 to 4.2 psi.
If the minimum pressure is not correct, take a
0.14 Allen wrench and turn the minimum pressure
set screw located at the bottom of the driver module
(Figure 19) until the pressure is in the range indicated.
Cycle the positioner air supply several times and
recheck the minimum pressure and re-adjust, if
necessary, to ensure that the pressure has settled
within the range specified.
11.When the pressure is set, remove the air supply.
12.Remove the No. 10-32 x .06 barb and orifice from the
swivel elbow and then remove the swivel elbow.
13.Replace the orifice as shown in Figure 11 and
reconnect the .06 tubing from the internal regulator
output port to the orifice. Reconnect the positioner air
supply and power. The positioner should now be ready
to calibrate.
This port is Internal Regulator Output. This
should be tubed to orifice on Driver Module.
