PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
1.9 Basic Operation
The Logix 500+ digital positioner is a two-wire 4-20 mA input digital
valve positioner which uses the HART protocol to allow two-way remote
communications. The positioner is completely powered by the 4-20 mA
input signal. Start-up current must be at least 3.8 mA. The positioner
is configurable through the local user interface, hand-held or DTM.
The Logix 500+ positioner can control both double- and single-acting
pneumatic actuators with linear or rotary mountings.
The Logix 500+ digital positioner is an electronic and pneumatic closedloop feedback instrument. Figure 1 shows a schematic of a Logix 500+
positioner installed on a single-acting linear actuator for air-to-open
action. Figure 2 shows the double acting option.
1.10 HART
The Logix 500+ receives power from the two-wire, 4-20 mA input
signal. However, since this positioner utilizes HART communications,
two sources can be used for the command signal: Analog and Digital.
In Analog source, the 4-20 mA signal is used for the command source.
In Digital source, the level of the input 4-20 mA signal is ignored (used
only for power) and a digital signal, sent via the HART communication
protocol, is used as the command source. The command source can
be accessed with ValveSight software, the HART 375 communicator, or
other host software. See section 11 HART COMMUNICATION for more
information.
1.11 Position Definition
Whether in Analog or Digital Source, The position at 0% is always
defined as the valve in a closed position and 100% is always defined as
the valve in an open position. In Analog Source, the 4-20 mA signal is
converted to a position (in percent). During loop calibration, the signals
corresponding to 0% and 100% are defined.

Figure 1: Principles of Operation of Logix 500+
1.12 Command Input and Final Command
The Command Input signal (in percent) passes through a characterization/limits modifier block. This function is done in software, which
allows for in-the-field customer adjustment. The characterization
block can apply no adjustment (Linear), one of several pre-defined
characterization curve adjustments (including several Equal Percent),
or a 21-point Custom Characterization curve adjustment. In Linear
mode, the input signal is passed straight through to the control algorithm in a 1:1 transfer. In Equal Percent (=%) mode, the input signal
is mapped to a standard rangeability equal percent curve. If Custom
Characterization is enabled, the input signal is mapped to a custom,
user-defined 21-point output curve. The custom user-defined 21-point
output curve is defined using a handheld or ValveSight software. In
addition, two user-defined features, Soft Limits and Tight Shutoff may
affect the position. The actual command being used to position the
stem after the evaluation of characterization curves and user limits, is
called the Final Command.
1.13 Outer Loop
The inner-loop then quickly adjusts the spool position. The actuator
pressures change and the stem begins to move. The stem movement
reduces the deviation between Final Command and Stem Position.
This process continues until the deviation goes to zero.
1.14 Inner Loop
The inner-loop controls the position of the relay valve by means of a
driver module. The driver module consists of a temperature-compensated hall-effect sensor and a Piezo valve pressure modulator. The
Piezo valve pressure modulator controls the air pressure under a diaphragm by means of a Piezo beam bender. The Piezo beam deflects in
response to an applied voltage from the inner-loop electronics. As the
voltage to the Piezo valve increases, the Piezo beam bends, closing
off against a nozzle causing the pressure under the diaphragm to
increase. As the pressure under the diaphragm increases or decreases, the spool or poppet valve moves up or down respectively. The Hall
Effect sensor transmits the position of the spool or poppet back to the
inner-loop electronics for control purposes.
The Logix 500+ uses a two-stage, stem-positioning algorithm. The
two stages consist of an inner-loop (pilot relay control) and an
outer-loop (stem position control). Referring again to Figure 1, a stem
position sensor provides a measurement of the stem movement.
The Final Command is compared against the Stem Position. If any
deviation exists, the control algorithm sends a signal to the inner-loop
control to move the relay in a direction, depending upon the deviation.

Figure 2: Principles of Operation of Logix 500+
Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
Assume the input signal changes from 12 mA to 16 mA. The positioner sees this as a command source of 75 percent. With Linear characterization, the Final Command becomes 75 percent. Deviation is the
difference between Final Command and Stem Position: Deviation =
75% - 50% = +25%, where 50 percent is the present stem position.
With this positive deviation, the control algorithm sends a signal to
move the spool up from its present position. As the spool moves, the
supply air is applied to the bottom of the actuator and air is exhausted
from the top of the actuator. This new pressure differential causes
the stem to start moving towards the desired position of 75 percent.
As the stem moves, the Deviation begins to decrease. The control
algorithm begins to reduce the spool opening. This process continues
until the Deviation goes to zero. At this point, the spool will be back
in its null or balanced position. Stem movement will stop and the
desired stem position is now achieved.
1.15 Detailed Sequence of Positioner Operations
A more detailed example explains the control function. See Figure 3.
Assume the unit is configured as follows:
• Unit is in Analog command source.
• Custom characterization is disabled (therefore characterization is
Linear).
• No soft limits enabled. No MPC set.
• Valve has zero deviation with a present input signal of 12 mA.
• Loop calibration: 4 mA = 0% command, 20 mA = 100% command.
• Actuator is tubed and positioner is configured air-to-open.
Given these conditions, 12 mA represents a Command source of 50
percent. Custom characterization is disabled so the command source
is passed 1:1 to the Final Command. Since zero deviation exists,
the stem position is also at 50 percent. With the stem at the desired
position, the spool valve will be at a middle position that balances
the pressures above and below the piston in the actuator. This is
commonly called the null or balanced spool position.
1.16 Inner Loop Offset
The position of the spool (or poppet) at which the pressures are balanced, holding the valve position in a steady state, is called the Inner
Loop Offset. The controlling algorithm uses this value as a reference
in determining the Piezo voltage. This parameter is important for
proper control and is optimized and set automatically during stroke
calibration.

4 STORAGE AND UNPACKING
4.1 Storage
Flowserve Control valve packages (a control valve and its instrumentation) are typically well protected from corrosion. Nevertheless Flowserve products must be stored in a clean, dry environment such as
an enclosed building that affords environmental protection. Heating is
not required. Control valve packages must be stored on suitable skids,
not directly on the floor. The storage location must also be free from
flooding, dust, dirt, etc. Plastic caps are fitted to protect the flange
faces and positioner ports to prevent the ingress of foreign materials.
These caps should not be removed until the valve or positioner is
actually mounted into the system.
If Flowserve products (especially sealing materials) have been in
storage for longer periods check these for corrosion or deterioration
before using these products. Fire protection for Flowserve products
must be provided by the end user.
4.2 Unpacking
While unpacking the valve and/or Logix 500MD+ positioner, check the
packing list against the materials received. Lists describing the system
and accessories are included in each shipping container.
4.4 Labels
Verify that the labels match the intended application.
NOTE: Mark checkbox next to hazardous area information for
protection method Logix 500MD+ is installed to.
Figure 4: Certification Label
In the event of shipping damage, contact the shipper immediately.
Should any problems arise, contact a Flowserve Flow Control Division
representative.
4.3 Pre-installation Inspection
When installing a positioner, verify the shaft has not been damaged
and that the plugs and cover are in place. The plugs keep debris and
moisture from damaging the internal components of the positioner. If
the positioner has been contaminated, clean the positioner components gently with a soft damp cloth. Some components may be removed for better access. See section 18 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.
When cleaning a Double Acting Relay (Spool and Block) take care not
to bend or force the spool. A Single Acting Relay may be removed, but
do not disassembled the relay. Check connectors to ensure that no
debris is present. Port screens can be removed with a flat screwdriver
for access to internal passages.

5 MOUNTING AND INSTALLING
5.1 Mounting to Mark One Linear Valves
To mount a Logix 500+ positioner to a Valtek linear Mark One valve,
refer to Figure 6: Mounting to Mark I Linear Valves and proceed as
outlined below.
1. Remove washer and nut from follower pin assembly. Insert pin
into the appropriate hole in follower arm, based on stroke length.
The stroke lengths are stamped next to their corresponding
holes in the follower arms. Make sure the unthreaded end of the
pin is on the stamped side of the arm. Reinstall lock washer and
tighten nut to complete follower arm assembly.
2. Slide the slot in the follower arm assembly over the flats on the
position feedback shaft in the back of the positioner. Make sure
the arm is pointing toward the side of the positioner with ports
A, B, and Supply. Slide the lock washer over the threads on the
shaft and tighten down the nut.
3. Align the bracket with the three outer mounting holes on the
positioner. Fasten with 1/4" bolts.
4. Screw one mounting bolt into the hole on the yoke mounting pad
nearest the cylinder. Stop when the bolt is approximately 3⁄16"
from being flush with mounting pad.
5. Slip the large end of the teardrop shaped mounting hole in the
back of the positioner/bracket assembly over the mounting bolt.
Slide the small end of the teardrop under the mounting bolt and
align the lower mounting hole.
6. Insert the lower mounting bolt and tighten the bolting.
7. Position the take-off arm mounting slot against the stem clamp
mounting pad. Apply Loctite 222 to the take-off arm bolting and
insert through washers into stem clamp. Leave bolts loose.
8. Slide the appropriate pin slot of the take-off arm, based on stroke
length, over the follower arm pin. The appropriate stroke lengths
are stamped by each pin slot.
NOTE: The feedback shaft has a clutch mechanism that allows
for over-rotation of the shaft for easy adjustments.
9. Center the take-off arm on the rolling sleeve of the follower pin.
10. Align the take-off arm with the top plane of the stem clamp and
tighten bolting. Torque to 120 in-lb.
NOTE: If mounted properly, the follower arm should be horizontal when the valve is at 50% stroke and should move approximately ±30° from horizontal over the full stroke of the valve. If
mounted incorrectly, a stroke calibration error will occur and the
indicator lights will blink a RGGY code indicating the position
sensor has gone out of range on one end of travel or the travel is
too small. Reposition the feedback linkage or rotate the position
sensor to correct the error.
NOTE: To virtually eliminate non-linearity, use the Linearization
feature in the Custom Characterization page of the DTM.

5.2 Mounting to FlowTop Linear Valves
To mount a Logix 500+ positioner to a FlowTop linear actuator and
valve (with direct mounting / integrated tubing), refer to Figure 7 and
proceed as outlined below.
NOTE: Because the integral mounting uses the alternate
pneumatic port, the positioner must have a poppet style, single
acting relay. This is indicated in the model code with a “1” in the
highlighted location:
521MD+14-W1ED1F0-GM2-1103
1. Remove the FlowTop port plug screw. Plug port B.
2. Ensure positioner O-ring surface is clean. Then install the O-ring,
and FlowTop mounting block using the positioner screws.
3. Attach the follower arm to the feedback shaft using the follower
arm nut.
Refer to Figure 8: FlowTop Mounting.
4. Assemble the take-off pin to the take-off plate and mount the
take-off plate to the valve stem using the two screws. Adjust the
follower pin to match the correct location as indicated on the
follower arm’s embossed scale.
5. Place the actuator O-ring.
6. Place the positioner on the actuator, ensuring the take-off pin is
inside the follower arm slot. Adjust the follower arm as needed.
NOTE: The feedback shaft has a clutch mechanism that allows
for over-rotation of the shaft for easy adjustments.
7. Use the actuator screws to secure the positioner in place.
8. Connect regulated air supply to appropriate port in manifold. See
section 6 TUBING.
9. Connect the power to the 4-20 mA terminals. See section 7
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
10. Remove main cover and locate DIP switches and QUICK-CAL/
ACCEPT button.

accordingly. See section 8 STARTUP.
12. Press the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT button for three to four seconds
or until the positioner begins to move. The positioner will now
perform a stroke calibration.
13. If the calibration was successful the green LED will blink GGGG
or GGGY and the valve will be in control mode.
14. If calibration fails, as indicated by a RGGY blink code, retry the
calibration. If it still fails, the feedback values were exceeded and
the arm must be adjusted away from the positioner’s limits. Rotate the feedback shaft so that the full free travel of the feedback
shaft is in the range of the actuator movement. Optionally, continue to attempt the calibration. Each calibration attempt adjusts
the acceptable limits and it should pass eventually.
CAUTION: Remember to remove the air supply before re-adjusting
a
take-off arm.
NOTE: If mounted properly, the follower arm should be horizontal when the valve is at 50% stroke and should move approximately ±30° from horizontal over the full stroke of the valve.

5.3 Mounting to Standard Valtek Rotary Valves
The standard rotary mounting applies to Valtek valve/actuator assemblies that do not have mounted volume tanks or hand-wheels. The
standard mounting uses a linkage directly coupled to the valve shaft.
This linkage has been designed to allow for minimal misalignment
between the positioner and the actuator. Refer to Figure 10 through
Figure 12.
1. Fasten the spline lever adapter to the splined lever using two 6 x
1/2" self-tapping screws.
2. Slide the take-off arm onto the spline lever adapter shaft, orienting the arm to the current valve position. Insert the screw with
star washer through the take-off arm and add the second star
washer and nut and tighten.

6 TUBING
After mounting has been completed, tube the positioner to the actuator using the appropriate compression fitting connectors. For best
performance, use 10 mm (3/8 inch) tubing for 645 square cm (100
square inch) actuators or larger. See Figure 24 below.
6.1 Determine Air Action
The port labeled “Y1” delivers air when an air supply is present and
the relay is energized. (For positioners with double acting relays,
this is port A. For positioners with single acting relays, this is port
B.) Typically, the port labeled “Y1” should be tubed to the pneumatic
side of the actuator (the side that would result in the air compressing
the actuator spring). When tubed this way, the spring is designed to
return the valve to the fail safe state should supply air or power to the
unit fail.
Figure 20: Linear, Double Acting, Air to Open
Tube the port labeled “Y1” to the side of the actuator that must receive
air to begin moving away from the fail safe state.
If air from “Y1” should open the valve, set the Air Action configuration
switch on the positioner to Air-to-Open, otherwise set it to Air-toClose.
The Air-to-Open and Air-to-Close selection is determined by the actuator tubing, not the software. When air action selection is made during
configuration, the selection tells the control which way the actuator
has been tubed.
If the valve is double acting, port the valve labeled “Y2” to the other
side of the actuator.
DANGER: Proper tubing orientation is critical for the positioner to
c
function correctly and have the proper failure mode.
Example: Tubing Linear Double-Acting Actuators
For a linear air-to-open actuator, the “Y1” port of the positioner is
tubed to the bottom side of the actuator (closest to the valve). The
“Y2” port of the positioner is tubed to the top side of the actuator. See
Figure 20. For a linear air-to-close actuator the tubing configuration is
reversed.
Example: Rotary Double-Acting Actuators
For a rotary actuator, the “Y1” port of the positioner manifold is tubed
to the far side of the actuator. The “Y2” port of the positioner manifold
is tubed to the side of the actuator closer to the transfer case. This
tubing convention is followed regardless of air action. On rotary
actuators, the transfer case orientation determines the air action. See
Figure 21..
Figure 21: Rotary, Double Acting, Air to Open
Example: Tubing Single-acting Actuators
For single-acting actuators, the “Y1” port is always tubed to the pneumatic side of the actuator regardless of air action. If a double acting
(spool style) relay is installed in the positioner, plug port B (Y2). If a
single acting - poppet style relay is installed, plug port A (Y2) as in
Figure 22. Or, port A may be used for purging. See Purging Single
Acting Actuators below.

and covered with a protective cap. To control vented gas, remove the
caps and connect the necessary tubing/piping to these ports. See
Figure 23: Exhaust Vents.
This piping system may cause some positioner back pressure. Back
pressure in the housing chamber is from the modulator and regulator.
Back pressure in the exhaust port is from the actuator.
The maximum allowable back pressure from the housing chamber is
0.14 barg (2.0 PSIG). For flow rates, see section 2.3 Air Supply.
The maximum allowable back pressure from the exhaust port is 0.55
barg (8.0 PSIG) for double acting relays and is 0.14 barg (2.0 PSIG)
for single acting relays. Higher pressure may result in decreased performance. For output flow rates, see section 2.2 Pneumatic Output.
Figure 22: Linear, Single Acting, Air to Open
6.2 Connect Supply Port
The positioner ports are threaded with either G ¼ or ¼ NPTF as
indicated on the housing.
In order to maintain the recommended air quality, a coalescing filter
should always be installed in the supply gas line. An air filter is highly
recommended for all applications where dirty air is a possibility.
The positioner passage ways are equipped with small filters, which
remove medium and coarse size dirt from the pressurized air. If necessary, they are easily accessible for cleaning.
A supply regulator is recommended if the customer will be using the
diagnostic features of the Logix 500+ but is not required. In applications where the supply pressure is higher than the maximum actuator
pressure rating a supply regulator is required to lower the pressure to
the actuator’s maximum rating.
6.3 Purging Single Acting Actuators
Purging allows the non-pressurized side of a single acting actuator
to fill with exhaust gas instead of atmospheric air. This configuration
helps prevent corrosion of actuator components in harsh environments. When a single acting relay is used, a special procedure can be
performed to configure the positioner to purge properly using port
A. Contact your local Flowserve Representative for more information
regarding the purging option.
CAUTION: The back pressure in the main housing must never
a
rise above 0.14 barg (2.0 PSIG). This could cause the positioner
to become unresponsive under some circumstances

6.4 Vented Design
A standard Logix 500+ positioner is vented directly to the atmosphere.
When supply air is substituted with sweet natural gas, piping must be
used to route the exhausted natural gas to a safe environment.
The housing chamber exhaust port is located on the backside of the
positioner. The actuator exhaust port is located on the bottom of the
positioner. Both ports are tapped with either ¼ NPTF or G ¼ threads

7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
7.1 Electrical Terminals
7.2 Command Input (4-20 mA) Connection
The Logix 500+ is reverse polarity protected, however, verify polarity
when making field termination connection. Wire 4-20 mA current
source to the input terminal labeled “HART 4-20mA INPUT”. Tighten using 0.5 to 0.6 Nm torque. See Figure 25: Terminal Diagram.
Depending on the current source, a HART filter may be required. See
19.1 Troubleshooting Guide.
7.2.1 Compliance Voltage
Output compliance voltage refers to the voltage limit the current
source can provide. A current loop system consists of the current
source, wiring resistance, barrier resistance (if present), and the Logix
500+ impedance.
The Logix 500+ requires that the current loop system allow for a 10
VDC drop across the positioner at maximum loop current. The operating current range is from 3.8 to 24 mA.
In order to determine if the loop will support the Logix 500+, perform
the calculation in the following equation. The Available Voltage must
be greater than 10VDC in order to support the Logix 500+. Also, see
Table 1: Input Signal.

wire
Available Voltage = 19 V - 0.020 A × (300Ω + 25Ω)
Available Voltage = 12.5 V
The available voltage (12.5 V) is greater than the required voltage
(10.0 V) therefore; this system will support the Logix 500+. The Logix
500+ has an input resistance equivalent to 500 Ω at a 20 mA input
current.

7.2.2 Cable Requirements
The Logix 520MD+ digital positioner utilizes the HART Communication protocol. This communication signal is superimposed on
the 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 signal, 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.
See Figure 26.
In order to calculate the maximum network capacitance, use the
following formula:
Controller
Voltage
R
Figure 26: Compliance Voltage
R
Compliance
Voltage
Current
To control cable resistance, 24 AWG cable should be used for runs
less than 5000 feet. For cable runs longer than 5000 feet, 20 AWG
cable should be used.
The input loop current signal to the Logix 520MD+ digital positioner
should be in shielded cable. 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, not at the positioner.
7.2.3 Intrinsically Safe Barriers
When selecting an intrinsically safe barrier, make sure the barrier is
HART compatible. Although the barrier will pass the loop current and
allow normal positioner control, if not compatible, it may prevent
HART communication.

7.2.4 Grounding and Conduit
The grounding terminals, located by the electrical conduit ports
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 grounded screw must not be used to terminate signal
shield wires. Shield wires should be terminated only at the signal
source.
This product has electrical conduit connections in either thread sizes
1/2" NPTF or M20x1.5 which appear identical but are not interchangeable. The thread size is indicated on the side of the positioner near the
conduit connections. Conduit fittings must match equipment housing
threads before installation. If threads do not match, obtain suitable
adapters or contact a Flowserve representative. See Figure 27: Conduit and Grounding.

7.2.5 Electromagnetic Compatibility
The Logix 500+ digital positioner has been designed to operate
correctly in electromagnetic (EM) fields found in typical industrial
environments. Care should be taken to prevent the positioner from
being used in environments with excessively high EM field strengths
(greater than 10 V/m). Portable EM devices such as hand-held twoway radios should not be used within 30 cm of the device.
Ensure proper wiring and shielding techniques of the control lines,
and route control lines away from electromagnetic sources that may
cause unwanted electrical noise. An electromagnetic line filter can be
used to further eliminate noise (Flowserve Part Number 10156843).
In the event of a severe electrostatic discharge near the positioner, the
device should be inspected to ensure correct operability. It may be
necessary to recalibrate the Logix 500+ positioner to restore operation.
7.3 Multi-Function Card (AO, DO, DI)
The Multi-Function Card can act as an Analog Output (AO), a Discrete
Output (DO), or a Discrete Input (DI). Connections to the Multi-Function Card are made directly to the card terminals. For detailed information about voltage and current limits, see Table 14: Auxiliary Card
Status below.
Figure 28: MFC Analog Output Circuit
See section 13 MULTI-FUNCTION CARD for more information.
7.3.1 Analog Output
For AO function wire the MFC in series with a 10 to 40 VDC power
supply, including a method to determine the current. When configured
as an AO, the current will follow the valve position. See Figure 28.

flowserve.com
Page 30
Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
7.3.2 Discrete Output
For DO function, wire the MFC in series with a 8 to 40 VDC power
supply, including a method to determine the current such as a resistor. Or use a NAMUR switch amplifier made for this purpose. In DO
configuration, the card is a NAMUR switch.
When configured as a DO, current will remain high until the user-defined condition (an alarm) is active, and then drop low when tripped.
See Figure 29.

7.4 V to I Card Connections
The V to I card is used if powering the positioner using a voltage
generator is desired. The card requires a voltage input and converts
the voltage to a current suitable for powering the positioner. The positioner can still communicate via a HART interface on the voltage lines.
NOTE: When using the V to I card, digital position control is
recommended. Controlling position by changing the voltage may
result in lack of position linearity and accuracy.
Wire the V to I card according to Figure 32: V to I Card Circuit. Connect the voltage input to the V to I card terminal. Connect the red wire
from the V to I card to the positive terminal on the main board 4-20
mA input connector. Connect the black wire from the V to I card to
the negative terminal on the main board 4-20 mA input connector.
Current to the positioner can be approximated by the formula in
Equation 4.

8 STARTUP
8.1 Quick Start Instructions
Once the positioner is installed, adjusting the DIP switch settings and
performing a Quick-Cal function will typically get the positioner working
properly. This simple procedure takes only seconds for most valves.
1. Using the Configuration Switches, select the desired configuration.
2. Hold the Quick-Cal button for 3 seconds. This will initiate a stroke
calibration.
After the stroke calibration is complete, the positioner is ready for
control.
CAUTION: During the QUICK-CAL operation the valve may stroke
a
unexpectedly. Notify proper personnel that the valve will stroke,
and make sure the valve is properly isolated.
8.2 Local User Interface Overview
The Logix 500+ local user interface allows the user to calibrate,
configure the basic operation, and tune the response of the positioner
without additional tools or configurators. See Figure 36.
• Configuration Switches (8) – Used to set basic configuration. See

8.3 Configuration Switch Settings
Before placing the unit in service, set the Configuration Switches to
the desired control options.
NOTE: The Configuration Switch settings are activated only by
performing a Stroke calibration (pressing the “QUICK-CAL” button for 3 seconds). However, the Configuration Switch settings
may be edited from the DTM or Handheld at any time.
8.3.1 Air Action Switch
This must be set to match the configuration of the valve/actuator
mechanical tubing connection since the tubing determines the air
action of the system.
If Single Acting (Poppet) Relay
ATO - Increasing pressure from Port B (labeled “Y1”) causes the valve
to open.
ATC - Increasing pressure from Port B (labeled “Y1”) causes the valve
to close.
If Double Acting (Spool) Relay
ATO - Increasing pressure from Port A (labeled “Y1”) causes the valve
to open.
ATC - Increasing pressure from Port A (labeled “Y1”) causes the valve
to close.
8.3.2 Actuator Switch
This must be set to match the configuration of the actuator and is used
in some diagnostics.
Double - Select Double when both sides of the actuator are pressurized.
8.3.4 Characterization Switch
The Characterization Switch allows a better match between the input
command and the actual fluid flow through the valve. This feature is
typically used with valves that have non-linear flow characteristics.
The positioner makes a correction by applying an adjustment to the
input command according to a characterization curve.
Linear - Select Linear if the actuator position should be directly
proportional to the command input signal. (For most rotary valves,
this setting gives an =% Cv characteristic due to their inherent =%
characteristics.)
Other - Select Other if one of the pre-set characterization curves or a
custom curve is desired. The default will be the Custom curve which
is populated with a standard 30:1 equal percent rangeability curve
which generally opens less than the input command. To select one of
the other curve options, use the LCD menu, a Handheld or the ValveSight DTM. To modify the Custom curve, use the DTM. See section
10.3.6 Configuration (Characterization) for more information.
8.3.5 Auto Tune Switch
This switch controls whether the positioner will automatically tune
itself during the stroke calibration (Quick-Cal), or use preset tuning
parameters.
On - Selecting On enables an auto tune feature that will automatically
determine the positioner gain settings. The automatic tuning will be
based on response parameters measured during the latest Quick-Cal.
The valve response is a combination of these response parameters
and the current position of the Selectable GAIN Switch.
Off - Selecting Off forces the positioner to use one of the factory
preset tuning sets determined by the Selectable GAIN Switch. Settings
“B” through “J” are progressively higher predefined tuning sets.
Single - Select Single when only one side of the actuator is pressurized.
8.3.3 Signal at Closed Switch
Normally this will be set to 4 mA for an Air-To-Open actuator configuration, and 20 mA for Air-To-Close.
4 mA - Selecting 4 mA will make the valve close when the signal is
low (4 mA) and open when the signal is high (20 mA).
20 mA - Selecting 20 mA will make the valve close when the signal is
high (20 mA) and open when the signal is low (4 mA).
NOTE: When using an Analog Output (AO) function of the
Multi-Function Card, the AO signal corresponds with the Signal
At Closed selection. If the valve closes with a 4 mA signal, the
AO will show a 4 mA signal at closed. If the valve closes with a
20 mA signal, the AO will show a 20 mA signal at closed.
Selecting “A” on the Selectable Gain Switch during a Quick-Cal allows
the user to use and preserve manually adjusted gains. See section
8.4 Stroke Calibration for more details.
NOTE: The gain switch is live meaning that regardless of the
Auto Tune selection, the gain settings can be adjusted at any
time during operation by changing the selectable GAIN switch
position. See Figure 37.

8.3.6 Quick Calibration Switch
This switch selects between Auto and Jog calibration modes.
Auto - Use the Auto setting if the fully opened position of the valve
has a mechanical stop. This is typical for most valves. In Auto mode
during a stroke calibration (Quick-Cal), the positioner will fully close
the valve and register the 0% position, then fully open the valve to
register the 100% position.
Jog - Use the Jog setting if the fully opened position of the valve has
no hard stop, but needs to be set manually. In Jog mode during a
stroke calibration (Quick-Cal), the positioner will fully close the valve
and register the 0% position, then wait for the user to move the valve
to the 100% open position using the
Press the .ACCEPT/QUICK-CAL button to accept the 100% location.

.
Up and .Down buttons.
8.3.7 Valve Stability Switch
This switch adjusts the position control algorithm of the positioner for
use with low-friction control valves or high-friction automated valves.
Lo Friction - Placing the switch to Lo Friction optimizes the response
for low friction, high performance control valves. This setting provides for optimum response times when used with most low friction
control valves.
Hi Friction - Placing the switch to the right optimizes the response
for valves and actuators with high friction levels. This setting slightly
slows the response and will normally stop limit cycling that can occur
on high friction valves. See section 10.3.7 Configuration (Pressure
Control) for more details.
NOTE: This option is more effective on with Advanced or Pro
diagnostic levels.
8.3.8 Spare Switch
If special features have been purchased they may be controlled by this
switch. See associated documentation for more details.
termine the gains. The gains are then set automatically. After a stroke
calibration, the positioner is ready to control.
To perform a Quick-Cal, first ensure the Quick Calibration Switch
is set to Auto or Jog as appropriate. Press and hold the .ACCEPT/
QUICK-CAL button for approximately 3 seconds. This will initiate the
automatic stroke calibration. While the calibration is in progress, the
LED lights will flash status codes indicating the calibration progress.
See section 19.3 Status Code Descriptions for an explanation of the
status code sequences.
The initial calibration of extremely large or very small actuators may
require several calibration attempts. The positioner adapts to the
actuator performance and begins each calibration where the last
attempt ended. On an initial installation it is recommended that after
the first successful calibration that one more calibration be completed
for optimum performance.
8.4.1 Quick Calibration Switch – Jog
Set the Quick Calibration Switch to Jog if the valve/actuator assembly
has no internal mechanical stop at the fully open position. In this
case, follow these instructions:
1. Press and hold the .ACCEPT/QUICK-CAL button for approximately
3 seconds.
This will initiate the jog stroke calibration. The positioner will
then close the valve and set the zero position. The zero position
is automatically always set at the valve seat. At this point the
LED‘s will flash in a sequence of G-R-R-R (green-red-red-red)
which indicates that the user must use the jog keys to manually
position the valve to approximately 100%.
2. Use the up and down keys to position the valve at approximately
100% open.
3. Press the .ACCEPT/QUICK-CAL button to proceed.
No more user actions are required while the calibration process is
completed. When the lights return to a sequence that starts with a
green light the calibration is complete.
The jog calibration process will only allow the user to set the span.
If an elevated zero is needed a handheld or ValveSight DTM are
required.
8.4.2 Tuning Options
8.4 Stroke Calibration
36
The .ACCEPT/QUICK-CAL button is used to initiate an automatic
stroke calibration. The stroke calibration determines the closed (0%)
and open (100%) positions of the valve and gathers information about
the response of the valve (such as valve stroke time) in order to de-
Quick-Cal Custom Gains - This is typically the fastest way to achieve
ideal gains. Set the Auto Tune Configuration Switch to On and the
Selectable GAIN Switch to “E”. Then perform a Quick-Cal. During the
Quick-Cal, custom tuning parameters will be determined based on
measured response parameters. The gains can then be fine-tuned by
adjusting the Selectable GAIN Switch. Selecting “D” “C” or “B” will
Page 37
Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
progressively provide a more stable response. Selecting “F” through
“J” will progressively provide a more active response. In most cases
selecting “E” will give the best results. This is the default setting for all
actuator sizes. Raising or lowering the Selectable GAIN Switch setting
is a function of the positioner/valve response to the control signal,
and is not actuator size dependent.
Standard Preset Gains - If standard, preset gains are desired, set the
Auto Tune Configuration Switch to Off. After performing a Quick-Cal,
use the Selectable GAIN switch to the desired level (“B” – “J”). The
standard, preset gain settings are not affected by Quick-Cal.
It may be necessary to set the gain switch BEFORE the Quick Cal.
Very fast stroking valves may need to be at lower gains and very slow
stroking valves may need to be at higher gains.
Custom Manual Gains - To set gains manually, set the selectable
GAIN switch to “A”. Changing the switch from “B” to “A” will write
the standard “B” settings into the “A” parameters, allowing a starting
point for modification. Similarly, changing the switch from “J” to “A”
will write the standard “J” settings into the “A” parameters. Custom
tuning values can then be entered using the Display Menu, a Handheld
or ValveSight DTM. With the Selectable GAIN Switch set to “A”, the
tuning will not be modified during a Quick-Cal.
8.4.3 Aborting a Quick-Cal
The Quick-Cal can be aborted at any time by briefly pressing the
,BACK button. In this case, the previous settings will be retained.
8.4.4 On Line Stroke Calibration Adjustments
At times an adjustment to the calibration is desired, but the process
cannot be interrupted. The stroke calibration can be adjusted with
minimal valve movement. Contact your local Field Service Technician
for more information.
8.5 Analog Output (AO) Calibration

9 POSITIONER FUNCTIONS
(No Display Required)
The following features can be performed using the local interface. No
display is required for these features. Additional features are offered
with the use of a display, Handheld or DTM.
NOTE: In order to prevent unintentional adjustments of the configuration, tuning, or control of the valve, the Tamper Lock feature
may be used. This is set in the DTM and disables the buttons and
menus except for the ability to view the status of the positioner.
When locked, the positioner may be temporarily unlocked by
entering a PIN. (An LCD is required to enter the PIN.) Or, the
positioner can be unlocked from the DTM.
9.1 Live Manual Tuning (Adjusting the Gain)
Use the Selectable GAIN Switch to adjust the gain at any time during
operation. This adjustment takes effect immediately. For faster response
select settings above “E” (F-J). For more stable response, select settings below “E” (B-D). See Figure 36: Local User Interface on page 34.
9.2 Local Control Of Valve Position

10 POSITIONER FUNCTIONS
(LCD Display)
The optional LCD display provides a variety of useful information and
functions. The Main View shows important information using icons
and scrolling status lines. Using the directional buttons (
navigate the menu, the user can view detailed information perform
commonly used functions. See Figure 38.
NOTE: The LCD backlight may change brightness during use. This
is normal. The backlight uses any residual power not used by
other functions of the circuitry. When current supply is low (4mA)
the light will appear darker. When current supply is high (20mA)
the light will appear brighter.
10.1 Main Display View
The main view provides an instant display of important status parameters: Position, Final Command, Scrolling Status Message, Current Alarm
Status and Status Icons.

DIP Switch Override – This indicates that the Configuration (DIP)
Switches do not reflect the actual configuration of the positioner. This
can happen if a Configuration Switch is changed after a Quick-Cal, or if
the configuration is was changed from the DTM. Performing a QuickCal will reset the configuration to what the Configuration Switches
show, which may not be desirable in this case. Ensure the Configuration
Switches are set properly before performing a Quick-Cal.

10.1.2 Scrolling Status Messages
The Scrolling Status Message provides the following information as
applicable:
Date and Time – The date and time format is adjustable. See Section
10.3.9 Configuration (Set Time and Date) for more information.
Ambient Temperature – This is the temperature inside the positioner.
Supply Pressure – The supply pressure is available with Advanced and
Pro upgrades.
Friction – This is calculated when the valve moves. Friction is available
with the Pro upgrade.
Actuation Ratio – This is the amount of available force used to move the
valve.
Pneumatic Leak – This is leak beyond normal air consumption. Pneumatic Leak is available with the Pro upgrade.
Training Percent Complete – Training tracks key parameters for a period
of time. This data can be used to set more meaningful Alarm and Warning limits. Training will begin automatically after 24 hours of continuous
operation and end after 90 days of positioner operation. Or use the DTM
to initialize this function. The training status will show only if training

Upgrade Level Icons - The upgrade levels provide increased functionality beginning at none, then Standard, Advanced and finally Pro.
These levels also correspond to the model numbers 510+, 520MD+,
521MD+ and 522MD+ respectively. A 510+ positioner has limited
diagnostics and cannot be upgraded. A Standard (520MD+) has positioner position-based diagnostics and can be upgraded to a 521MD+
in the field. An Advanced (521MD+) positioner includes pressure sensor functions and can be upgraded to a 522MD+ in the field. A Pro
(522MD+) positioner includes the pressure sensor functions along
with full diagnostic capabilities and is fully upgraded.
Command Source Icons – The positioner is in Analog Command
mode if it is using the 4-20 mA signal to control the location of the
valve. In Digital Command mode, the positioner ignores the 4-20
command and responds to the position command given through
HART. In Out Of Service mode, the positioner is performing a calibration, signature, partial stroke test or is in a factory reset state.
Training Mode Icons – The positioner can keep track of several key
data parameters for a period of time specified by the user. This data
can be viewed while setting alarm limits to make them more meaningful. For example, if supply pressure cycles every day from 5 bar
to 4 bar in normal operation, this information will be displayed where
the supply pressure warning limits are set. Seeing that the supply
typically drops to 4 bar, the user can then set the supply pressure low
warning to a value below 4 bar. See the DTM User Manual for more
information.
Pressure Control – When the position of the valve gets very close
to the commanded position, the positioning algorithm will change
to pressure control. This means the pressures will be held constant
(locked), improving the stability of the valve position. The point at
which the pressure control is locked depends on the Valve Stability
switch on the positioner. When the switch is set to “Lo Friction”, the
locking point is self-adjusting to optimize accuracy. When the switch
is set to “Hi Friction” and the deviation is smaller than +/- 1.0%, the
pressure “locks”. This value can be adjusted using the Display Menu
or DTM. See section 10.3.7 Configuration (Pressure Control).
HART Communications Icons – When the positioner is sending or
receiving data via the HART communication protocol, the icon will be
displayed. During burst mode, a pulsating heart icon will be displayed.
Continuous Stroke Test (CST) – For valves that are normally held at a
constant position for extended periods of time, the Continuous Stroke
Test can provide assurance that the valve is still responsive. When
CST is on, the positioner will cause a very small amount of valve
movement. From this movement, the positioner can find information
about the health of the valve, actuator and positioner. This is not
recommended for valves intended for high accuracy or stability.
To achieve the CST function, the positioner adds a small deviation to
the command. The deviation is ramped at a rate of 0.05%/second up
to 5%. However, the instant the valve moves, the ramp reverses and
begins to grow in the opposite direction. So, with low friction, the
actual movement will be quite small. If the valve does not move by the
time the deviation equals 5%, a counter will start. After 5 consecutive
failed attempts to move, the CST warning will appear. The ramp rate,
maximum limit, and frequency of the CST can be adjusted using the
DTM.

The Calibration menu allows the user to calibrate the positioner’s
sensors. The positioner can accurately control with only a Quick-Cal.
Typically this is all that is needed. A friction calibration is recommended
if the positioner has been upgraded to Pro diagnostics. See section 8
STARTUP for more details.
CAUTION: Performing a calibration may result in valve movement
a
and the inability to operate the valve until the calibration is complete. Notify proper personnel that the valve may stroke, and make
sure the valve is properly isolated before proceeding.
Stroke/Quick Calibration starts an automatic calibration of the position
feedback sensor. The stroke calibration determines the closed (0%) and
open (100%) positions of the valve and gathers information about the
response of the valve (such as valve stroke time) in order to determine
the gains. The gains are then set automatically. After a stroke calibration, the positioner is ready to control.
See section 8.4 Stroke Calibration for more details.
Pressure Sensor Calibration starts an automatic calibration of the
pressure sensors. The pressure sensors are calibrated at the factory
and typically will not need calibration. Use this feature if new pressure
sensors are installed. If desired, configure the positioner to use the
most recent pressure calibration values after a factory reset. To do this,
write a 1 to variable 104 using the Edit Variables page of the ValveSight
DTM.
“Set 0%”, set the command input current to 4 mA. (The display will
show a low Analog to Digital Count (ADC) that corresponds to 4 mA.)
.
Then press the .ACCEPT/QUICK-CAL button to set the value. Press the
Down button to move to “Set 100%”. Set the command input current
to 12 mA. (The display will show a high ADC to correspond to 12 mA.)
Again press the .ACCEPT/QUICK-CAL button to set the value. Select
the ,Back Button to exit.
Signal At Closed = 20mA Example:
If the desired signal at closed is 20 mA, first set the Signal at Closed
DIP switch to 20 mA. Then perform a stroke calibration by pressing the
.ACCEPT/QUICK-CAL button for more than 3 seconds. This registers
the DIP switch settings. Then, in the Command Input Calibration menu,
when the display shows “Set 0%” it is expecting the lowest current value. Set the input current to 4 mA. For “Set 100%”, it is looking for the
highest current value. Set the input current to 20 mA. After accepting
theses values, the positioner will interpret the 20 mA input as 0% valve
position and the 4 mA input as 100%.
Calibration Dates lists the most recent date of each calibration.
NOTE: To calibrate the Analog Output, see section 13
MULTI-FUNCTION CARD.

Friction Calibration starts an automatic calculation of total system
friction. This also determines the spring rate and other values critical to
the Pro diagnostic functions.
NOTE: Friction forces may change quickly when a valve is first
placed into service.
Triple Calibration performs Stoke, Pressure and Friction calibrations in
one step.
Command Input Calibration is used to adjust the input range. Set the
lowest current (Set 0%) and the highest current (Set 100%) that will be
used. The default input range is 4 to 20 mA. The “Set 0%” value must
be lower than the “Set 100% value.

Split Range Example:
A split range is easily configured. For example, a 4 to 12 mA signal can
be set to correspond to a 0 to 100% stroke. When the display shows
The Configuration – Positioner Tuning menu allows the user to manually adjust individual tuning parameters. All tuning parameters are
automatically set to optimal values during Quick-Cal. Typically a QuickCal is all that is needed for positioner tuning. See section 8 STARTUP
for more details.
CAUTION: Adjusting the tuning parameters will affect the respon-
a
siveness of the valve and could cause rapid changes to the valve
position. Notify proper personnel that the valve may stroke, and
make sure the valve is properly isolated before proceeding.
P-Gain, I-Gain and D-Gain are the proportional, integral, and differential
elements of the feedback algorithm. These gains are different for the
opening and closing directions because typically responsiveness is
different in each direction.
Page 45
Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
NOTE: Only those with specific training in PID tuning algorithms
should attempt to adjust the tuning by manually changing the
PID values.
Open Stroke Time is the fastest time it took the valve to stroke from
0% to 100% during Quick-Cal.
Close Stroke Time is the fastest time it took the valve to stroke from
100% to 0% during Quick-Cal.
Minimum Open Time and Minimum Close Time (Speed Limits) are
used to prevent the valve from moving too quickly. This can be used
when the process is sensitive to rapid flow or pressure changes. This
shows the time (in seconds) that the positioner will allow the valve to
travel a full stroke. This speed limit applies to smaller movements of
the valve too.
For example, if the Minimum Open Time were set to 20 seconds, and
the command was changed from 40% to 50%, the positioner would
move the valve at a constant rate, taking 2 seconds to complete the
move. If the Minimum Close Time was set to 0, and the command
was changed from 50% back to 40%, the positioner would make the
move as quickly as possible.
The default values are 0 seconds, meaning the positioner will move
the valve as quickly as possible.
The Configuration – Characterization menu allows the user to change
the characterization of the command. This allows a better match
between the input command and the actual fluid flow through the
valve. This feature is typically used with valves that have non-linear
flow characteristics. The positioner makes a correction by applying
an adjustment to the input command according to a characterization
curve. The table below shows the available characterization curve
options. Each point of the Custom curve can be adjusted using the
ValveSight DTM. See Figure 39.
To view the characterization curve options, set the Characterization
switch “Other” before performing a Quick-Cal. Otherwise, the only
option available is “Linear”. If a Quick-Cal is not possible, use the
ValveSight DTM to select the curve.
Gain Set with Dual selected, applies independent gains in the open
and closing directions (default). With Single selected, the most conservative gains found during calibration are applied in both the open
and closing directions.

.Configuration
.Pressure Control
.Window
The Configuration (Pressure Control) menu allows the user to change
the size of the pressure control window. This window becomes active
when the Valve Stability Switch is set to “Hi”. The Valve Stability
Switch optimizes the response for valves and actuators with high
friction levels. When set to “Hi”, it slightly slows the response and will
normally stop limit cycling that can occur on high friction valves.
Window - When the position of the valve gets within the pressure
control window, the positioning algorithm will change to pressure
control. This means the pressures will be held constant (locked),
improving the stability of the valve position

10.3.8 Configuration (Soft Limits and Shutoff)
.Configuration
.Soft Limits & Shutoff
.High Soft Limit
.Low Soft Limit
.Upper Position Shutoff
.Lower Position Shutoff
Soft Limits allows the user to limit the movement of the valve. Shutoff
allows the user to tightly shut the valve with all available force.
High Soft Limit and Low Soft Limit - This feature is used to simulate
physical blocks on the valve that restrict movement past a set point.
Once the Soft Limit is set, the positioner will not attempt to move the
valve position (final command) beyond the set point, regardless of the
analog or digital command input signal.
CAUTION: Changing the Soft Limits may limit the movement of the
a
valve. The valve may not shut or open fully.
NOTE: Removing power to below 3.6 mA will still cause the valve
to move to the de-energized state regardless of the Soft Limits.
Upper Position Shutoff and Lower Position Shutoff - This feature, (also
called Minimum Position Cutoff or MPC) is used to tightly close or open
the valve. It is used when a tight seal is needed or when debris or friction may otherwise interfere with complete closure. When the valve is
commanded past the Shutoff points, the pilot relay will direct full supply
pressure to the appropriate port, applying all available force to close (or
open) the valve. The Shutoff points apply to the Final Command.
CAUTION: Changing the Shutoff limits may cause the valve to fully
a
open or fully close after the command passes a set limit.
Though Shutoff and Soft Limit features should not be used together, if
both are set, the greater of the two settings will take precedence at the
closed end; and the lesser of the two settings will take precedence at the
open end.

. Factory Reset
At times, it may be convenient to reset all of the variables to a default
state. In this case, perform a Factory Reset.
Factory Reset – Use this feature to reset all variables to their factory
default state. All of the internal variables including calibration will be
reset to factory defaults. The positioner must be re-calibrated after
a factory reset. Tag names and other user configured limits, alarm
settings, and valve information will also be lost and will need to be
restored. A factory reset will always reset the command source to
analog 4-20 mA.
48
NOTE: Once the Multi-Function Card (MFC) type has been configured, the type selection will still remain after a factory reset.
CAUTION: Performing a factory reset may result in the inability
a
to operate the valve until reconfigured properly. Notify proper
personnel that the valve may stroke, and make sure the valve is
properly isolated.
10.3.14 Card 1 (or Card 2)

11 HART COMMUNICATION
The Logix 520MD+ series positioners use the HART communication
protocol specified by the HART Communication Foundation.
11.1 ValveSight DTM
Flowserve Corporation has produced a custom Device Type Manager
(DTM) for the Logix 520MD+ digital positioners to support the ValveSight diagnostics platform.
The DTM contains a high level “Dashboard” view of the system health
and status information. See Figure 40. It also contains comprehensive
user-friendly interfaces for control and reporting of alarms, of-line and
on-line diagnostic tests, calibrations and system configurations.
The ValveSight DTM is available from a Flowserve representative or
from www.valvesight.com.
Set to Trigger PST – Use this option to initiate a partial stroke test
when the DI state goes high.
Set to Command Override - Use this option to override the analog or
digital command input to move the valve to a set position as long as
the DI state remains high.
Set Command Point – Use this feature to set the override position.
The position is a final command (not characterized). Tight Shutoff
settings and Soft Limits will still apply.
The display menu is available in several languages.
To navigate directly to the language menu, select the following sequence of buttons:

12 MODEL FEATURES
The Logix 510+ digital positioner includes –
• the QUICK-CAL feature that allows the positioner to be calibrated
at the push of one button.
• limited diagnostics that monitor position, the pilot relay and
electronics.
• an 8-DIP configuration switch for flexible set-up.
• a 10-position gain selector switch is also included for quick
adjustments to responsiveness.
• an LCD option provides a dashboard for viewing current status and
a complete menu for viewing and configuring detailed settings.
• up to two auxiliary cards for analog output (AO), discrete input
(DI) and discrete output (DO) functions.
The Logix 520MD+ digital positioners include –
• HART communication.
• a DTM for viewing and controlling advanced features.
• Additional diagnostics depending on the diagnostic level chosen.
12.1 MD+ Positioner Diagnostic Levels
The Logix 520MD+ digital positioners have three levels of diagnostics,
“Standard”, “Advanced”, and “Pro”.
• “Standard” diagnostics provide complete safety and position-related diagnostics and data.
• “Advanced” diagnostics provide additional pressure data.
• “Pro” diagnostics enhance the off-line tests with additional force
data, and provide powerful on-line monitoring capabilities including friction, data logging functions, and comprehensive system
health information.
12.2 Valvesight DTM Diagnostic Levels
The DTM is not required for the positioner to function, but the graphical capabilities of the DTM allow for a richer interface and additional
functionality, including viewing the dashboard, charts, annunciator
panel, test comparisons, and data logs and printing reports.
The DTM also comes in two versions: “Basic” and “Advanced”.
• The “Basic” DTM provides an intuitive, easy-to-use user interface
to the positioner. It includes calibration, configuration, auxiliary
card information and off-line diagnostic tests. A dashboard gives
a quick view of important information.
• The “Advanced” DTM provides a view of the positioner’s full
health analysis and interfaces to all of the positioner’s “Pro”
diagnostic functionality.
It is generally wise to use the Advanced DTM with the Advanced and
Pro positioners.

13 MULTI-FUNCTION CARD
The optional Multi-Function Card (MFC) can be configured to act as
an Analog Output, Discrete Output, or Discrete Input. Up to two MFCs
may be installed at one time.
NOTE: With Logix 510+, only Card 1 is available with either AO
or limited DO function.
MFCs are immune to RFI/EMI disturbances. See certifications in
section 3.
Use the Discrete Output function of the MFC to indicate a variety of
conditions such as alarms, warnings, position limits, etc. Alarms that
are masked will not cause the DO to trip. The current is normally high,
and drops low when one of the pre-configured states occurs.
Configuration of the discrete output signal is done using the ValveSight DTM or push-buttons. To change the Multi-Function Card to the
Discrete Output function using the buttons, see section 9.7.
With Logix 510+, the DO function may be selected using push buttons, but will be limited to trip on the deviation alarm only.
The MFC configured as a DO does not interfere with positioner operation.
The MFC DO complies with DIN 19234 standard. For specific current
limits, see Table 14: Auxiliary Card Status.
13.3 Discrete Input (DI)
Use the Discrete Input function of the MFC to signal the positioner to
begin a partial stroke test, or move to a predefined position as long as
the signal remains.
Figure 42: Multi-Function Card
13.1 Analog Output (AO)
Configure the MFC as an Analog Output device to produce a 4-20 mA
signal that corresponds to the position of the valve.
Output follows actual position of valve, including all failure modes of
positioner except loss of power. An output of < 1.0 mA is transmitted
when the positioner loses power.
Calibration of the analog output signal is performed using the display
menu, a HART handheld communicator, or the ValveSight DTM or
push-buttons. To change the Multi-Function Card to the Analog Output function and calibrate using the buttons, see section 9.7.
The MFC configured as an AO does not interfere with positioner
operation.
Supply a low voltage (or no voltage) to indicate a normal state. Raise
the voltage to indicate the tripped state.
Configuration of the discrete output signal is done using the display
menu, a HART handheld Communicator, or the ValveSight DTM .
For specific voltage limits, see Table 14: Auxiliary Card Status.
NOTE: When 2 cards are configured as DI at the same time,
where both are configured to override the position command, the
card in slot 1 will take priority regardless of the order in which
the override commands are triggered.
CAUTION: During the use of the Discrete Input function, the valve
a
may stroke unexpectedly. Follow internal procedures, ensuring
that the configured movement of the valve (performing a PST or
moving to a set-point) is allowed. Notify proper personnel that
the valve will stroke, and make sure the valve is properly isolated
if required.
52
NOTE: The AO signal corresponds with the Signal At Closed
configuration switch setting. If the valve closes with a 4 mA
signal, the AO will show a 4 mA signal when closed. If the valve
closes with a 20 mA signal, the AO will show a 20 mA signal
when closed.

Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
14 V TO I CARD
The optional V to I card allows the use of a DC voltage source (e.g.
24 Volts) to power the positioner. This is typically for on/off emergency shut-down valves. The positioner is left in digital mode and the
position is commanded by the DTM or Hand-Held. The positioner can
receive commands via HART. Partial stroke tests can be performed via
HART commands. Reducing the voltage to below 10 volts causes the
positioner to shut down and go to the fail safe position.
The V to I card is immune to RFI/EMI disturbances. See certifications
in section 3.

15 LIMIT SWITCHES
15.1 Limit Switch Operation
The Logix 500+ digital positioner can be equipped with a limit switch
unit. The unit has two main parts, the electrical switch board and the
vane. The switch board is connected to the Inner cover. The vane
connects to the feedback shaft which extends through the positioner
and moves with the valve. The vane can hold a cam or ferromagnetic
device. As the shaft rotates, the pick-up switch LS1 or LS2 is activated. The switching point can be adjusted.
Four types of Limit Switches can be used with the Logix 500+.
15.2 Limit Switch Types
Mechanical switches are triggered by the use of a mechanical cam
and followers. See Figure 44: Limit Switches.
Reed switches are triggered by a magnetic force. No physical contact
occurs.
Inductive Slot switches are triggered when the sensor detects a ferromagnetic vane inserted between the coils. No physical contact occurs.
Inductive switches are triggered when the sensor detects a ferromagnetic vane approaching the coils in the switch. No physical contact
occurs.

17 REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY
INTEGRITY
This section provides information and additional user responsibilities in
order to meet up to Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) per IEC 61508.
The safety function of the positioner is to go to the fail-safe state (vent
air from the actuator) given a low power condition to the 4 to 20 mA
input terminal.
17.1 Fail Safe State
The fail safe state for a positioner with a three-way (Single-Acting), Poppet Style Relay is when the relay valve is at less than 5% of full stroke
such that output port B (Y1) is venting.
The fail safe state for a positioner with a three-way (Single-Acting),
Spool Style Relay is when the relay valve is at less than 5% of full stroke
such that output port A (Labeled Y1) is venting.
The fail safe state for a positioner with a four-way (Double-Acting),
Spool Style Relay is when the relay valve is at less than 5% of full stroke
such that output port A (labeled Y1) is venting and port A (labeled Y2) is
open to supply pressure.
NOTE: The fail safe states above represent the fail safe state of the
positioner. The valve fail safe state may be different depending on
spring configuration and tubing. Ensure the valve fail-safe state is
appropriate for your application.
17.2 Safety Function
closed. Friction was calculated with a bi-directional ramp test at a rate of
10 seconds/100%.
A typical** response time for the poppet relay to move to a fail-safe
state due to a sudden command change was found to be 0.10 s at 22 C,
0.23 s at -40 C and .13 s at 85 C.
**Tests were with 60 PSI (4.1 bar) supply pressure.
NOTE: During the stroke calibration (Quick-Cal), valve stroke times
are measured and recorded in the positioner. To view them, see
tuning parameters on the positioner menu or in the DTM.
17.4 Positioner Model Selection and Specification
Any Logix 520MD+ positioner can be used for up to SIL 3 applications
as stated above.
17.5 Installation
Ensure installation of the positioner is properly performed according
to this manual. Ensure tubing is configured to the actuator so that the
fail-safe state of the positioner matches the desired fail-safe state of the
valve.
17.6 Required Configuration Settings
The following user settable options must be properly configured for the
individual application in order to provide the designed safety integrity
for that application.
• Calibrate the analog input (command). The fail safe state of the valve
must correspond to the analog input command at less than 3.6 mA.
The Logix 520MD+ positioner moves to fail-safe state upon the removal
of analog input power (less than 3.6 mA)
NOTE: If using the V to I card, less than 10 Volts at the V to I card
terminals will produce a current less than 3.6 mA.
17.3 Fail Safe State Response Time
Test to find the final valve assembly response time to ensure it meets
application-specific requirements. Response times will vary widely with
actuator size, the use of boosters, stroke length, starting position, failsafe direction, tubing size, supply pressure, and temperature. The air
flow capacity also affects the response time. See section 2.2 Pneumatic
Output for air flow capacity.
A typical* response time for the spool relay to move to a fail-safe state
due to a sudden command change was found to be 0.06 seconds. (The
response time was 0.50 s at -40C and .35 s at 85C.)
The time for the valve to move to from 50% to 0% under the same
conditions was found to be 0.22 s. Friction in this case was 49.5 lbs
(220 N).
*Tests were with a 25 inch double acting Mark 1 actuator, 0.75 inch
(19 mm) stroke, ambient temperature 74°F (23.3 °C), 60 PSI (4.1
bar) supply, quarter inch tubing, starting at 50% open, moving to fully
• It is recommended to lock the local interface to prevent unintended
adjustments of the settings by an unauthorized user.
17.7 Maximum Achievable SIL
The Flowserve 520MD+ Valve Positioner covered by this safety manual
is suitable for use in low demand mode of operation Safety Integrity
Functions (SIF) up to SIL 2 in simplex (1oo1) and SIL 3 in redundant
(1oo2) configurations. The achieved SIL for a particular SIF needs to
be verified by PFDAVG calculation for the entire SIF including the failure
rates of the associated sensors and valves that are also part of the SIF.
For details, contact your Flowserve representative for Failure Mode,
Effects, and Diagnostics Analysis (FMEDA) report number 520+ is FLO
11-02-062 R001 for Logix 520MD+.
17.8 Reliability data
For reliability data, a detailed Failure Mode, Effects, and Diagnostics
Analysis (FMEDA) report has been prepared and is available from Flowserve with all failure rates and failure modes for use in SIL verification.
See FMEDA report number FLO 11-02-062 R001 for Logix 520MD+.
NOTE: The failure rates of the associated sensors, logic solver,
valves and actuators need to be accounted for in the Safety
Instrumented Function (SIF) level PFDAVG calculation.

Page 56
Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
17.9 Lifetime limits
The expected lifetime of the Flowserve 520MD+ Positioner is approximately 10 years. The reliability data listed the FMEDA report is only valid
for this period. The failure rates of the Flowserve 520MD+ Valve Positioner may increase sometime after this period. Reliability calculations
based on the data listed in the FMEDA report for lifetimes beyond 10
years may yield results that are too optimistic, i.e. the calculated Safety
Integrity Level may not be achieved.
17.10 Proof Testing
The objective of proof testing when used in low demand mode of operation is to detect failures within the Flowserve 520MD+ Valve Positioner
and its associated sensors and actuators that may not be detected by
the normal self-diagnostics. Of main concern are undetected failures
that prevent the safety instrumented function from performing its
intended function.
The frequency of the proof tests (or the proof test interval) is to be
determined in the reliability calculations for the safety instrumented
functions for which the Flowserve 520MD+ Valve Positioner is applied.
The actual proof tests must be performed at least as frequently as
specified in the calculation in order to maintain required safety integrity
of the safety instrumented function.
The following tests need to be specifically executed when a proof test
is performed. The results of the proof test need to be documented
and this documentation should be part of a plant safety management
system.
NOTE: Positioner failures that are detected should be reported to
Flowserve.
To perform the proof testing, an LCD display or HART communicator
such as a 375 Handheld or software such as ValveSight DTM for Logix
520MD+ are required.
Steps for Partial Stroke Test (PST)
Step Action
1. Verify the control loop is ready for valve movement in the amount
set for the PST.
2. Execute the PST via the LCD menu, DD, or DTM.
3. View the results of the PST via the LCD menu, DD, or DTM.
4. Check the errors generated by accessing the Alerts and Alarms
menu on the LCD menu, DD, or the Alarm Annunciator in the DTM
or other HART system using command 48.
56
When the tests listed above are executed, a proof test coverage of 95%
for the 520MD+ can be claimed if PST has not been implemented as a
diagnostic. To be considered as a diagnostic the PST has to be implemented in a SIL rated logic solver. If PST has been implemented then
no additional failure modes will be detected by the proof test. Failure
modes not covered include possible valve sticking in the travel range
not tested and leaking of the valve seat for fail closed valves.
Steps for Proof Test
Step Action
1. Bypass the safety PLC or take other appropriate action to avoid a
false trip.
2. Set the analog input command to less than 3.6 mA.
3. Ensure that the attached valve is fully in the safe state (defined
by application) and has moved to that position within the allowed
time. This will test for all failures that could prevent the closure of
the valve, including electronic and mechanical faults, as well as
valve faults.
4. Inspect the 520MD+ Valve Positioner for any visible damage or
contamination and ensure the follower arm has sufficient spring
bias if applicable.
5. Check the errors generated by accessing the Alerts and Alarms
menu on the LCD or the Alarm Annunciator in the DTM or other
HART system using command 48.
6. Remove the bypass from the safety PLC or otherwise restore
normal operation.
When the tests listed above are executed, a proof test coverage of 95%
for the 520MD+ can be claimed if PST has not been implemented as a
diagnostic. To be considered as a diagnostic the PST has to be implemented in a SIL rated logic solver. If PST has been implemented, then
no additional failure modes will be detected by the proof test. Failure
modes not covered include possible leaking of the valve seat for fail
closed valves.
17.11 Maintenance
Follow routine maintenance. See section 18.1 Scheduled Maintenance.
17.12 Repair and replacement
In the unlikely event that the Flowserve 520MD+ Valve Positioner fails,
the failure should be reported to Flowserve. Replace faulty components
according to section 18 of this manual or return the positioner to Flowserve for service. With experience and the right parts, repair times for
any component can be less than an hour, however a 24 hour mean time
to repair should be assumed for safety availability calculations.
17.13 Trainng Requirements
Activities specified in this manual shall be performed by a service technician trained in the installation and maintenance of process instrumentation. See section 1.4 Qualified Personnel.

19.3 Status Code Descriptions
NOTE: Not all status codes are available with all positioner models.
GGGG
POWER ON
Description: No issues.
Possible Solutions: Not applicable.
GGGY
TIGHT SHUT OFF MODE
Description: (Also called MPC.) The Final Command is beyond the
user set limit for the tight shutoff feature and the positioner is applying full actuator pressure to close (or open) the valve. This is a normal
condition for all valves when closed. The factory default setting
triggers this at command signals below 1%. This indication may also
occur on 3 way valves at both ends of travel if the upper Tight Shut
Off value has been set.
Possible Solutions: If tight shutoff is not desired reset the tight shutoff limits or adjust the command signal inside of the specified Tight
Shut Off values.
GGYG
LOCAL INTERFACE OFF
Description: Control and configuration features are locked at the positioner's local interface. This is to prevent unauthorized or accidental
adjustments. The buttons can still be used to view information on the
LCD. The status code is only present for a short time when the user
attempts to make a change through the display menu.
Possible Solutions: The DTM's Local Interface page is used to unlock
the local interface, turn this feature on and off, and to set the PIN.
For temporary access, a Personal Identification Number (PIN) can be
entered from the positioner if an LCD is installed.
GGYY
DIGITAL COMMAND MODE
Description: The input command is set by a digital HART command
instead of the 4-20 mA signal.
Possible Solutions: The input command source can be changed back
to the 4-20 mA signal by using a handheld, the Dashboard page of the
DTM, or performing a manual Command Reset. Perform the Command Reset by holding both the UP and DOWN buttons and briefly
pressing the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT button.
....
....
....
....
....
GGYR
INITIALIZING
Description: The positioner has powered up and is displaying a blink
sequence 3 times.
Possible Solutions: Wait for 3 blink sequences to complete.
GGRR
SQUAWK MODE
Description: A user has set the positioner to flash a special sequence
so that it can be visually located.
Possible Solutions: This mode is cancelled if one of the following
occurs: 1) The QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT button is briefly pressed. 2) The
Squawk mode is turned off remotely. 3) More than one hour has
passed since the command was issued.
GYGY
SOFT STOP HIGH LIMIT ALERT
SOFT STOP LOW LIMIT ALERT
Description: The Final Command would move the valve beyond the
user-set Soft Limit, but the internal software is holding the position at
the limit. The function is similar to a mechanical limit stop except it is
not active if the unit is un-powered. Possible Solutions: If more travel
is needed, reset the Soft Limits. If not, adjust the Final Command
signal back into the specified range.
GYYG
PRESSURE CALIBRATION REQUIRED
Description: A Factory Pressure Calibration has not been performed.
Unlike a regular pressure sensor calibration, a Factory Pressure
Calibration saves the calibration values to memory, making them
available should a factory reset be performed. Proper pressure sensor
calibration is required for proper pressure sensing and diagnostics.
Calibration values from a regular pressure sensor calibration will be
lost when a factory reset is performed. Typically no pressure calibration is required with a new positioner.
Possible Solutions: After replacing a main board or a pressure sensor
board, perform a Factory Pressure Calibration. To do this, see the
Pressure Sensor Board Removal and Installation section of the IOM.

Page 68
Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
GYYY
FRICTION CALIBRATION REQUIRED
Description: No friction calibration has been performed since the last
factory reset. The friction calibration determines a preliminary friction
value, spring forces and direction and other information used for
proper diagnostics. If no friction calibration is performed, the positioner will soon determine the operating friction, but other diagnostic
information will be missing.
Possible Solutions: Perform a Friction Calibration using the display
menu, handheld, or Sensor Calibration page of the DTM. See the Calibration section of the IOM for warnings.
GYYR
PARTIAL STROKE TEST SCHEDULED
Description: The schedule established by the user shows that a partial
stroke test is due.
Possible Solutions: Follow internal procedures to initiate a partial stroke
test (PST). A partial stroke test will cause the valve to move suddenly
and the positioner will not respond to commands while the PST is in
progress. See the Partial Stroke Test page of the DTM to verify PST
settings.
GRGG
SIGNATURE OR PARTIAL STROKE TEST IN PROGRESS
Description: The positioner is in Out Of Service (OOS) mode because a
test or signature has been initiated. These include Step Test, Ramp Test,
or Partial Stroke Test.
Possible Solutions: Signatures and tests can be defined, initiated, and
cancelled through the Off-Line Diagnostics pages of the DTM.

GRGR
DI COMMAND OVERRIDE
Description: The Multi-Function Card has been configured as a Discrete
Input (DI) and to override the input command, positioning the valve at
a preconfigured set point. The DI signal is active and the positioner is
attempting to control the valve at the set point.
Possible Solutions: Configure the DI function and set point using the
menu, a handheld or the Multi-Function Card Configuration page of the
DTM.
GRRY
JOG COMMAND MODE
Description: The positioner has been placed in a local override mode
where the valve can only be stroked using the UP and DOWN buttons.
The positioner will not respond to analog or digital input commands
from HART.
Possible Solutions: Control the valve using the UP and DOWN buttons.
This mode may be cancelled by briefly pushing the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT
button.
GRRR
JOG CALIBRATION SET 100% POSITION
Description: During a jog calibration, the unit is waiting for the user to
manually adjust the valve position to the desired 100% open position.
Possible Solutions: Use the Up and Down buttons on the positioner
to adjust the valve to the desired fully open position. The QUICK-CAL/
ACCEPT button to accept.
YGGG
POSITION HIGH LIMIT ALERT
POSITION LOW LIMIT ALERT
Description: The position has reached or is exceeding a user defined
position limit. This is similar to a limit switch indicator.
Possible Solutions: Set the limit to a higher (or lower) value if more
travel is needed, or adjust the command signal back in the specified
range.
....
....
....
....
Description: A calibration sequence is in progress. The inner loop offset
is an important step of the stroke calibration.
Possible Solutions: The calibration can be canceled from the corresponding calibration page of the DTM, from the handheld, or by briefly
pressing the BACK button.
68
Page 69
Logix® 520MD+ and 510+ Digital Positioners FCD LGENIM0105-15-AQ – 05/16
Description: The cycle or travel limit of the valve, actuator, bellows or
pilot relay has been exceeded. Each cycle represents two reversals of
the direction of valve movement. The cycle counting criterion and count
limit (for the valve, actuator and bellows) are set by the user to track the
usage of the valve assembly.
Possible Solutions: Follow routine procedures for maintenance when
the limit is reached. For example valve inspection may include checking
the packing tightness, and checking linkages for wear, misalignment,
and tightness. Bellows inspection may include checking bellows for
cracking or leaking. Actuator inspection may include checking the
actuator seals and lubrication. Relay inspection may include checking
for high air consumption and signs of wear on the spool. After maintenance, reset the travel accumulator.
....
YGYY
POSITION AMPLITUDE WARNING
POSITION FREQUENCY WARNING
Description: The amplitude or frequency of the position signal is above
the warning limit. The positioner is controlling the position of the valve
with large or rapid corrections.
Possible Solutions: Verify the limits are set at an appropriate level. Adjust the selectable Gain switch to a lower setting or use the Hi Friction
setting. Perform a QUICK-CAL which sets the gains based on valve
response. Check for high friction. If the problem persists replace the
relay.
....
YGRY
CONTINUOUS STROKE TEST FAILED WARNING
Description: During the continuous stroke test, the valve did not move
after 5 consecutive attempts. This could mean the valve has increased
friction, a change in process load or inadequate supply pressure.
Possible Solutions: Check friction, supply pressure and other alarms
or warnings that would indicate difficulty in moving the valve. Check
packing, and air supply. The warning will clear when the CST function
is turned off or when a successful attempt to move the valve occurs.
YGRR
PARTIAL STROKE TEST FAILED WARNING
Description: Measured times or forces during the last partial stroke test
did not pass the criteria set by the user. This may be an indication of
corrosion build-up on the valve stem or in the actuator, low or restricted
supply pressure, or a sticking positioner relay.
Possible Solutions: This warning will clear upon completion of a successful partial stroke test.
YYGG
TEMPERATURE HIGH WARNING
TEMPERATURE LOW WARNING
Description: The temperature of the internal electronics has exceeded
the manufacturer set limits of -40°C (-40°F) to 85°C (176°F). Low temperature may inhibit responsiveness and accuracy. High temperature
may affect performance or limit the life of the positioner.
Possible Solutions: Regulate the temperature of the positioner by
shading or cooling supply gas. Heat the positioner if needed. If the
temperature reading is in error, replace the main board.
YYGY
VALVE CLOSED TOO FAR WARNING
VALVE OPENED TOO FAR WARNING
....
....
....
....
YGYR
COMMAND AMPLITUDE WARNING
COMMAND FREQUENCY WARNING
Description: The amplitude or frequency of the command signal is
above the warning limit. This could mean the control loop has larger
swings or is oscillating faster than desirable.
Possible Solutions: Verify the limits are set at an appropriate level. Review the control loop parameters and equipment. Adjust as necessary.
Description: While the valve was in use, it closed or opened farther than
it did at the last calibration by 0.5%.
Possible Solutions: Check the feedback arm linkage and ensure the
valve stem connection is tight. Recalibrate the stroke. If the process
cannot be interrupted a service technician may be able to adjust the
calibration.

YYGR
SUPPLY PRESSURE HIGH WARNING
Description: The supply pressure is above the user set warning limit.
Supply pressure that exceeds the maximum rating on the actuator can
become a potential hazard.
Possible Solutions: Regulate the supply pressure at the positioner
below the maximum limit recommended for your actuator. Recalibrate
pressure sensors. Check the pressure sensor board connections.
Replace pressure sensor board if necessary.
....
YYYG
SUPPLY PRESSURE LOW WARNING
Description: The supply pressure is below the user set warning limit.
Low supply pressure can cause poor valve response or positioner failure. The minimum recommended supply pressure for proper operation
is 1.3 bar (19 PSI).
Possible Solutions: Regulate the supply pressure at the positioner
above 1.3 bar (19 PSI). Ensure system air/gas supply is adequate.
Repair kinked or restricted supply tubing. Check for pneumatic leaks in
the actuator and actuator tubing. Recalibrate pressure sensors. Check
the pressure sensor board connections and replace pressure sensor
board if necessary.
....
YYYY
ACTUATION RATIO WARNING
Description: The force required to control the system is close to the
maximum available force. Actuation Ratio is based on the ratio of
available force to the required force to fully actuate. Control may be lost
if this ratio reaches 100%. It is affected by the process load, friction,
spring force, and available supply pressure.
Possible Solutions: Increase the supply pressure. Reduce the friction.
Check the actuator spring. Resize the actuator. Adjust user set limits.
....
YYRG
SOFTWARE ERROR WARNING
Description: There has been a watch dog time out, stack overflow
warning, or CPU usage warning.
Possible Solutions: If the problem persists, perform a factory reset. If it
still persists, reprogram or replace the main board.
....
YYRY
AIR SUPPLY HUMID WARNING
Description: The supply gas has high relative humidity which can lead
to condensation on electronic components and failure of electronic
functions.
Possible Solutions: Ensure supply gas is clean and dry. Check and clean
the regulator filter.
....
YYRR
AIR SUPPLY ICING WARNING AIR SUPPLY ICING WARNING
Description: The supply gas has high relative humidity and the temperature is close to 0 °C (32 °F). Under these conditions ice may form in the
pilot relay causing diminished or total loss of position control.
Possible Solutions: Ensure supply gas is clean and dry. Check and clean
the regulator filter.
YRGG
PILOT RELAY RESPONSE WARNING
Description: The pilot relay is sticking or slow to respond. This affects
the responsiveness, increases the chance of limit cycling and excessive
air consumption. The pilot relay is part of the inner loop and consists of
the driver module assembly with piezo (I-P relay) which is coupled to the
spool valve or poppet. The value of this indicator corresponds with inner
loop lag. Delayed response can be caused by a partially clogged piezo or
debris, oil, corrosion, or ice on the spool, or low supply pressure.

Possible Solutions: Check response of the valve. If OK, adjust Pilot Relay Response limits. Check supply pressure. Check the spool or poppet
for debris, oil, corrosion, ice on the spool. Clean or replace the spool
or poppet assembly. Replace the piezo or driver module assembly.
Maintain a clean, water-free air/gas supply.
YRGY
FRICTION LOW WARNING
Description: The friction has passed below the user set limit. Low friction is an indication of improperly loaded packing and, in severe cases,
can be an indication of the process fluid leaking at the valve stem.
Possible Solutions: Check for packing leak. Tighten or replace the valve
packing.

YRGR ....
FRICTION HIGH WARNING
Description: The valve and actuator friction has passed the user set limit. High friction can cause loop oscillations, poor position control, jerky
motion, or valve sticking. It can be caused by build-up from the process
on the stem, trim or seat , by a failing bearing or guides in the valve
and actuator, galling of the trim or stem, excessively tightened packing,
linkages, or other valve or actuator mechanical issues.
Possible Solutions: Determine if the friction is significantly interfering
with the valve control. If not, consider increasing the friction warning
limit. Consider the following to reduce friction: Stroke the valve to clear
off build-up. Clear any external mechanical obstruction, loosen the
packing, clean the stem, repair or replace the actuator. Highly localized friction or very jerky travel can indicate internal galling. Repair or
replace internal valve components.
....
YRYY
BACKLASH WARNING
Description: The amount of detected backlash has passed the user set
warning limit. This may affect valve stability.
Possible Solutions: Check the stem and actuator for loose components.
....
YRYR
PNEUMATIC LEAK WARNING
Description: The positioner has detected a leak in the actuation assembly. Leakage from the actuator can cause decreased responsiveness
and excessive air/gas consumption.
Possible Solutions: Repair pneumatic leaks at the tubing junctions and
actuator seals. Check spool valve for excessive wear.
YRRG
LOW BATTERY WARNING
Description: The battery for the real time clock is low. The battery is
designed for a 15+ year life with the positioner unpowered. The battery
is not required for the positioner to control properly, but is used only to
maintain the time and date upon loss of power. The time and date affect
the time stamps of alarms, warnings and other events. This warning
could be caused by rapidly power cycling the positioner.
Possible Solutions: The battery is not replaceable. Verify or reset the
time and date. Replace the main board if the problem persists for
several days.
....
YRRY
PIEZO VOLTAGE HIGH WARNING
PIEZO VOLTAGE LOW WARNING
Description: If the voltage to the piezo is too high, this could indicate an
error with the relay or the main board. This may result from an extended period of inactivity, but in this case should not persist for more than
30 minutes when the valve is controlling. The positioner may still be
functioning, but have reduced performance under some circumstances.
If the voltage to the piezo is too low, the piezo may be damaged. This
may prevent the proper failure position upon loss of signal/power. This
condition may occur briefly on an air-to-close valve that is held for long
periods of time in the closed position, or an air-to-open valve held in the
open position.
Possible Solutions: Ensure the supply pressure is not low. If alarm
persists for more than 30 minutes, the Piezo assembly is damaged.
Replace the pilot relay.
YRRR
SPRING UNABLE TO FAIL SAFE WARNING
Description: Upon loss of air supply, the valve may not move to the failsafe position. The spring alone is not adequate to overcome the friction
and process load in the system. The system is relying on pneumatic
force to actuate in the direction the spring is pushing. The failsafe
spring may have failed, or it was not sized properly for the application.
Friction or process load may have increased.
Possible Solutions: Repair or replace actuator spring. Check for high
friction. Reduce process load.
RGGG
COMMAND INPUT BELOW ADC RANGE
COMMAND INPUT ABOVE ADC RANGE
COMMAND INPUT RANGE TOO SMALL
Description: During Command Loop Calibration, the signal was out
of the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) range, or difference between
the signal at 0% and the signal at 100% was too small. The system is
designed to accept a difference greater than 5 mA and between 10 and
4085 ADC.
Possible Solutions: Recalibrate making sure to use valid command
signal values.

RGGY
POSITION RANGE TOO SMALL
POSITION SENSOR ABOVE ADC RANGE
POSITION SENSOR BELOW ADC RANGE
Description: During calibration, the range of motion of the position
feedback arm was too small for optimum performance or the feedback
sensor moved beyond its range of operation.
Possible Solutions: Check for loose linkages. Adjust the positioner
mounting. Adjust the feedback pin back into range. Adjust the feedback
pin to a position closer to the follower arm pivot to create a larger angle of rotation and recalibrate. The minimum angle of rotation should
be greater than 15 degrees. Briefly pressing the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT
button acknowledges a small range and the positioner will operate
using the short stroke calibration if otherwise a good calibration.
RGGR
INNER LOOP OFFSET TIME OUT
Description: During calibration the Inner Loop Offset (ILO) value did
not settle. This could result in less accurate positioning.
Possible Solutions: Repeat the stroke calibration to get a more
accurate ILO value. To proceed using the less accurate ILO value,
this error may be cleared by briefly pushing the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT
button. Lowering the setting on the gain selection switch may help if
the actuator is unstable during the calibration.
RGYG
SETTLE TIME OUT
Description: During calibration, the position feedback sensor showed
movement, but did not settle.
Possible Solutions: Check for loose linkages or a loose positioner sensor. This error may appear on some very small actuators during the
initial calibration. Recalibrating may clear the problem, or this error
may be cleared by briefly pushing the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT button.
RGYY
NO MOTION TIME OUT
Description: During a stroke calibration, there was no valve motion
detected. Because some valves are quite large, this indicator can take
up to 9 minutes to detect an error.
Possible Solutions: Check linkages and air supply to make sure the
system is properly connected. If the time out occurred because
the actuator is very large then simply retry the QUICK-CAL and the
72
positioner will automatically adjust for a larger actuator by doubling
the time allowed for movement. This error may be cleared by briefly
pushing the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT.
....
....
....
RGYR
ANALOG OUTPUT RANGE TOO SMALL
Description: During an Analog Output Calibration the difference
between the milliamp signal at 0% and the milliamp signal at 100%
was too small.
Possible Solutions: Recalibrate making sure to use a larger difference
between signal limits. This notification can be cleared by briefly pressing the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT button.
RGRG
STROKE CALIBRATION REQUIRED
Description: A factory reset was performed and the positioner has
not yet been calibrated. The unit will not respond to commands and
will remain in the failsafe position until a calibration is successfully
completed.
Possible Solutions: Perform a Stroke Calibration (QUICK-CAL) by
holding the QUICK-CAL/ACCEPT button down for 3 seconds, or perform a Pressure or Friction calibration if desired. See the Calibration
section of the IOM for warnings.
RGRY
STROKE SHIFT
Description: The 0% and 100% valve positions have both shifted in
the same direction since the last stroke calibration. This may be related to a bent or adjusted feedback linkage, loose positioner mounting,
or an over rotated feedback potentiometer.
STROKE SPAN DECREASE
Description: The 0% and 100% valve positions are closer together
compared to the last stroke calibration. This could indicate debris or
build up at valve seat.
STROKE SPAN INCREASE
Description: The 0% and 100% valve positions are farther apart compared to the last stroke calibration. This could indicate seat wear.
Possible Solutions: Ensure the feedback linkage is not bent and the
positioner is mounted securely. If the feedback potentiometer is
over-rotated, repeat the stroke calibration until the Stroke Shift error
is no longer present. Inspect valve or schedule valve for inspection.
This notification can be cleared by briefly pressing the QUICK-CAL/
ACCEPT button.

FACTORY RESET STATE
Description: The positioner is in factory reset state. Calibration is
required to enable control.
Possible Solutions: Perform a Stroke Calibration (QUICK-CAL).
RYGG
VALVE CAN'T OPEN ALARM
VALVE CAN'T SHUT ALARM
Description: Pressure has been applied (or removed) to open or
shut the valve, but the valve is not moving. This may be caused by
excessive friction.
Possible Solutions: Verify adequate supply pressure is applied. Verify
the feedback linkage is connected. View the friction trends if available.
Consider the following: Clear any external or internal mechanical
obstruction, loosen the packing, clean the stem, repair or replace the
actuator, repair the valve if galling is suspected.
RYGY
COMMAND AMPLITUDE ALARM
COMMAND FREQUENCY ALARM
Description: The amplitude or frequency of the command signal is
above the alarm limit. This could mean the control loop has larger or
faster swings than desirable.
Possible Solutions: Verify the limits are set at an appropriate level. Review the control loop parameters and equipment. Adjust as necessary.
RYGR
POSITION AMPLITUDE ALARM
POSITION FREQUENCY ALARM
Description: The amplitude or frequency of the position signal is
above the alarm limit. The positioner is controlling the position of the
valve with large or rapid corrections.
Possible Solutions: Verify the limits are set at an appropriate level. Adjust the selectable Gain switch to a lower setting or use the Hi Friction
setting. Perform a QUICK-CAL which sets the gains based on valve
response. Check for high friction. If the problem persists replace the
relay.
....

RYYG
SUPPLY PRESSURE LOW ALARM
Description: The supply pressure is below the user set warning limit.
Low supply pressure can cause poor valve response or positioner
failure. The minimum recommended supply pressure for proper
operation is 1.3 bar (19 PSI).
Possible Solutions: Regulate the supply pressure at the positioner
above 1.3 bar (19 PSI). Ensure system air/gas supply is adequate.
Repair kinked or restricted supply tubing. Check for pneumatic leaks
in the actuator and actuator tubing. Recalibrate pressure sensors.
Check the pressure sensor board connections and replace pressure
sensor board if necessary.

PRESSURE SENSOR BOARD FAILURE WARNING
Description: One or more pressure sensors may have failed.
Possible Solutions: Check the supply pressure to ensure it is between
1.3 and 10.3 bar (19 and 150 PSI). Check the pressure sensor board
connections. Recalibrate the pressure sensors. If the problem persists, replace the pressure sensor board.
RYRR
MAIN BOARD ELECTRONIC FAILURE WARNING
Description: There has been an oscillator fault, position sensor ADC
failure, supply voltage error, reference voltage error, shunt voltage
error, or piezo voltage error.
Possible Solutions: This may be caused by transient conditions. If the
error persists, replace the main board.
RRGG
PILOT RELAY RESPONSE ALARM
Description: The pilot relay is sticking or extremely slow to respond.
This affects the responsiveness, increases the chance of limit cycling
and excessive air consumption. The pilot relay consists of the driver
module assembly with piezo (I-P relay) which is coupled to the
spool valve or poppet. Delayed response can be caused by a partially
clogged piezo or debris, oil, corrosion, or ice on the spool, or low
supply pressure.
Possible Solutions: Check response of the valve. If OK, adjust Pilot
Relay Response limits. Check the supply pressure. Check the spool
or poppet for debris, oil, corrosion, ice on the spool. Clean or replace
the spool assembly. Replace the piezo or driver module assembly.
Maintain a clean, water-free air/gas supply.
RRGY
FRICTION LOW ALARM
Description: The friction has passed below the user set limit. Low
friction is an indication of improperly loaded packing and, in severe
cases, can be an indication of the process fluid leaking at the valve
stem.
....
....
....
RRGR
FRICTION HIGH ALARM
Description: The valve and actuator friction has passed the user set
limit. High friction can cause loop oscillations, poor position control,
jerky motion, or valve sticking. It can be caused by build-up from the
process on the stem, trim or seat, by a failing bearing or guides in the
valve and actuator, galling of the trim or stem, excessively tightened
packing, linkages, or other valve or actuator mechanical issues.
Possible Solutions: Determine if the friction is significantly interfering
with the valve control. If not, consider increasing the friction warning
limit. Consider the following to reduce friction: Stroke the valve to
clear off build-up. Clear any external mechanical obstruction, loosen
the packing, clean the stem, repair or replace the actuator. Highly localized friction or very jerky travel can indicate internal galling. Repair
or replace internal valve components.
RRYG
FEEDBACK LINKAGE ALARM
Description: The feedback linkage is broken or the position feedback
POT is out of range.
Possible Solutions: Fix broken linkage or adjust feedback arm until full
motion is within the range of the POT.

PIEZO VOLTAGE HIGH ALARM
Description: The voltage driving the piezo is above the alarm limit.
This could indicate an error with the relay or the main board. The
positioner may still be functioning, but have reduced performance
under some circumstances.
PIEZO VOLTAGE LOW ALARM
Description: The voltage to the piezo is too low. The piezo may be
damaged. This may prevent the proper failure position upon loss of
signal/power. This condition may occur briefly on an air-to-close valve
that is held for long periods of time in the closed position, or an airto-open valve held in the open position.
Possible Solutions: Ensure the supply pressure is not low. If alarm
persists for more than 30 minutes, the Piezo assembly is damaged.
Replace the pilot relay.
