Operational Overview

The SVI FF is a smart electro-pneumatic positioner that:
.
1. Receives a digital setpoint from the controller and compares the setpoint input to the valve position reported by the position sensor.
2. Uses the position control algorithm to analyze the difference between the position setpoint and position feedback and sets a servo signal for the I/P converter.
3. Uses the output pressure of the I/P, which is amplified by a pneumatic relay that drives the actuator. Once the error between the setpoint and the valve position feedback is eliminated, no other correction is applied to the servo signal in order to maintain valve position.
The local explosion proof LCD/Buttons (if equipped) display provides information about the device. The LCD can display data from blocks on other devices, if the system is so configured. The switch board provides a user-configurable discrete output, which is optionally used to indicate different controller states.

Available Options

NOTE
Some of the options available for the SVI FF include:
Remote Position Sensor

Offshore Construction - Stainless Steel Housing and Components
Pushbutton Display

Characterization

A characterization defines the relationship between the input signal and the output position of the valve. The SVI FF has a five built-in characterization curves. The additional Custom characterization requires manually entering values and is only for experts and under special circumstances.
The characterization may contain up to 21 configurable XY pairs and the position is linearly interpolated between the pairs. The first position is always 0, 0 and the last position is always 100,100. You can specify how many points to define between the start point (0, 0) and the endpoint (0, 100). The points are added as xy pairs.
The algorithm posts a failure if the curve slope violates the slope limitations: x/y or y/x < 20.
When you change characterization type, the Transducer block and AO block must be in OOS and the system is de-energized.

Control Sets

The position controller is a type of non-linear PID control algorithm with eight parameters listed below, as well as Auto Tune and Custom.
The preferred method is Auto Tune, which automatically tunes the valve. Custom requires manually entering values and is only for experts and under special circumstances. A Custom control set with out of range PID parameters is rejected by the system.
Configure the parameters using the parameter name or using FF parameter. Also see the “Control Sets Configuration” on page 48.
When the characteristic is linear, the displays of position setpoint and target valve position all match. For all other (non-linear) characteristics the valve target position differs from the setpoint.

Block Modes

WARNING

Resource Block Modes

Resource block has two major modes:
OOS – The block configuration parameters can be changed.
AUTO – This is normal operational mode.
BLOCK_ERROR_DESCR_1 provides additional details if the target mode is AUTO and the actual mode cannot be switched to AUTO (stays in OOS).

Transducer Block Modes

You can request the block to switch to one of the following block modes by writing MODE_BLK.TARGET parameter:
ALL blocks are switched to OOS mode when the Resource block is switched to OOS mode.
When the TB is in OOS mode, the valve moves to its de-energized position.
OOS – The device de-energizes the valve. This mode also may be necessary for setting
SETPOINT SOURCE, ACTUATOR_3.ACT_FAIL_ACTION and CHAR_SELECTION.TYPE, that can trigger a large movement of the valve if the valve is not de-energized.
MAN – You are in control of the valve position. You can use this mode for most of the
configuration, maintenance and diagnostic procedures. If the SETPOINT_SOURCE=AO-Final Value, you can move the valve by writing a value to FINAL_VALUE parameter.
AUTO – The valve is under FF blocks control. Depending on the configuration of the

Depending on the Transducer block configuration, valve position control and valve condition, the transducer block (MODE_BLK.ACTUAL) may be in one of the following states:
OOS – This is an indication that the valve is in de-energized position. The valve cannot
be moved until the block is in this mode. The TB goes to OOS mode if one of the following condition exists:
The Transducer block MODE_BLOCK.TARGET = OOS mode. You must change the
Transducer block target mode to make the device operational.

information about the reason for failure. You must correct the condition (e.g.
WARNING
WARNING
connect the air supply if Air Supply Low error is reported or remove obstacle, stopping the valve if Actuator or Position Error is reported). When the condition is corrected, clear faults by writing the appropriate value to parameter
88.CLEAR_STATUS. In some cases you may need to restart the device.
A failure condition exists in the valve position control algorithm that won’t allow the
valve to operate. Verify that state by reading parameter 74.FAILED_STATE. For more information see the previous point.
You have set the device to Fault State from the local LCD display. Review this by
reading the value of parameter 86. APP_MODE. Correct the condition by switching the Application mode to Normal from the local display or by setting the parameter
86.APP_MODE to Normal.
Changing the Application to Normal mode may switch the TB to MAN or AUTO mode and move the valve. It may be dangerous if someone is still working with the valve.
LO – This is an indication that the valve is controlled from the local display. Verify this
by reading parameter 86.APP_MODE – it has a value of Setup. Transfer the control back to the FF interface by switching the local LCD display to Normal mode. The mode can be switched remotely through FF, by writing to parameter
86.APP_MODE the value Normal.
Changing the Application to Normal mode may switch the TB to MAN or AUTO mode and move the valve. It may be dangerous if someone is still working with the valve.
MAN – You are in control of the valve positioner. You can execute configuration,
maintenance and diagnostic procedures. If the SETPOINT_SOURCE=AO-Final Value, you can move the valve by writing a value to FINAL_VALUE parameter.
AUTO – The valve position is being set from the function block, configured for that
purpose. The following cases are possible:
SETPOINT_SOURCE=AO-Final Value, the Analog Output block is in control and
SETPOINT is set from FINAL_VALUE
SETPOINT_SOURCE= DO-Final Value D in Open/Close mode, one of the Discrete
Output blocks is in control and SETPOINT is set from FINAL_VALUE_D.
SETPOINT_SOURCE= DO-Final Value D in 1% steps mode, one of the Discrete
Output blocks is in control and SETPOINT is set from FINAL_VALUE_DINT.

Principle of Operation

The SVI FF Electro- Pneumatic Digital Valve Positioner receives an electrical position setpoint signal as depicted in Figure 2. The output pressure is amplified by a pneumatic relay that drives the actuator. When the valve position agrees with the value called for by the position setpoint input signal, the system stabilizes with no further movement of the actuator.

Masoneilan SVI FF Instruction Manual =| 23

Physical and Operational Description

The SVI FF is housed in an industrial, tough, weatherproof, corrosion resistant aluminum housing that has been designed for operation in hazardous areas as listed in Appendix B. Electrical connections are made through two 1/2" NPT conduit entries. Pneumatic connections are made through two or three ¼" NPT ports.

Electronics Module

The Electronics module consists of an electronic circuit encapsulated in a housing. The electronics include a multiplexer, A/D, D/A, temperature sensor, Hall-Effect magnetic position sensor, pressure sensors, a micro controller, and a power management/distribution circuit. The programs controlling the SVI FF digital valve positioner are stored in a flash memory that allows for the downloading of upgraded firmware.
A separate non-volatile memory stores configuration information, and continuous diagnostic results. Expansion capabilities include connectors for the addition of the optional local display with pushbuttons. Using the internal programmed positioner algorithm, the CPU computes the required output based on information received from the measurement sensors. The base module has no user repairable components.
Magnetic Position Sensor
A non-contact sensor uses a magnetic field to transfer the position through the wall of the housing, without penetration, to sense the valve position. A Hall effect device, sealed within the electronics housing, senses the rotation of a magnetic assembly mounted on the end of a rotary valve shaft or on a driven linkage mounted on a reciprocating valve.
The output of the Hall sensor provides the position feedback signal to the position control algorithm. The magnetic assembly is environmentally sealed and is entirely external to the electronics housing (See Figure 26 on page 57). The Hall effect sensor has a maximum travel range of up to 140° rotation.
Position Display
The position sensor also provides, through the electronics module, a readout of valve position on the optional display and communication of valve position via FF protocol.
Pressure Sensor
The pressure sensor located in the Electronics Module measures the output of the single acting relay. The pressure measurement is displayed on the local display or read by an FF communication device.
24 | BHGE
© 2019 Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLC. All rights reserved.
Temperature Sensor
A temperature sensor is located in the electronics module and measures ambient temperature. This measurement is used to provide temperature compensation for the position and pressure sensors and other internal electronic components. The temperature is read via the FF communication link to provide a warning of excessive ambient temperature at the positioner.

Output Switch

The SVI FF supports a contact output, SW #1 (Discrete Output switch), that can be logically linked to status bits. The Discrete Output switch terminal is a solid state contact. The switch requires its own power source and must be connected to the appropriate connector on the Electronics Module Terminal Board. See “Output Switches” on page 67.

Pneumatic Module

Vent
Relay (Pneumatic Amplifier)
I/P Current to Pneumatic Converter
The pneumatic module consists of an I/P and Relay assembly.
Current-to-Pressure Converter, I/P
The I/P converts a current signal to a pressure signal in the following manner. A fixed coil creates a magnetic field proportional to the applied current. The field magnetically pulls a flexure towards a nozzle to increase pressure on the flexure. The pressure on the flexure increases in response to an increase in the coil current. Encapsulation of the coil provides protection from the environment.
Single Acting Pneumatic Relay
The single acting pneumatic relay amplifies the pressure from the I/P and increases airflow as required for stable, responsive, actuator performance. The single acting relay operates on any supply pressure that is at least 5 psi (.345 bar, 34.5 kPa) above the required actuator pressure, up to 150 psi (10.3 bar, 1034 kPa).

The double acting pneumatic relay amplifies the pressure from the I/P and provides a pair of high flow output signals for operating a double acting cylinder actuator. The double acting relay operates on any supply pressure that is at least 5 psi (.345 bar, 34.5 kPa) above the required actuator pressure, up to 150 psi (10.3 bar, 1034 kPa). The two output pressures may be balanced by means of an adjustable seat assembly. The average of the two pressures is adjusted to equal 70% of the supply pressure. The double acting relay is rated for supply pressure to 150 psi (10.3 bar, 1034 kPa).
Figure 5 Double Acting Pneumatic Relay
Double Acting Supply Pressure Balance
After installation on the actuator, set supply pressure in accordance with actuator specifications. Do not exceed the maximum pressure rating of the actuator. The double acting relay is adjusted at the factory and set to 70% of supply pressure. If adjustment is required consult the factory.

Optional Display and Pushbuttons

The optional display and buttons (Figure 6) are mounted on the SVI FF cover plate. The three pushbutton switches operating in conjunction with the display permit reading and modification of the instrument operating parameters without a PC or hand-held communicator. These switches perform generic functions - Increase, Decrease, and Accept by movement through a conventional menu structure, see“Using the Pushbuttons and Digital Interfaces” on page 127. The switches are operated in a hazardous environment without compromising the flameproof enclosure.

Link Active Scheduler

To use the SVI FF in a link active scheduler configuration refer to the documentation for the specific DCS.

4. Mechanical Installation

NOTE

Overview

The SVI FF single acting (Figure 11 on page 37) and double acting (Figure 16 on page 42) are high performance, digital valve positioners that combine a local display with remote communication and diagnostic capabilities. The SVI FF is available with a variety of options to fulfill diverse
applications.
Prior to beginning the installation process review the “Safety Information” on page 9.

SVI FF Positioner Types

SVI FF positioner types include:
“Single Acting Positioner Description” on page 35, including a high flow version
“Double Acting Positioner Description” on page 41

Single Acting Positioner Description

The supply and output connections for the SVI FF (Figure 9), located on bottom of the pneumatic block, are tapped 14" NPT. Output is toward the front, supply is toward the back. Two pressure gauges, output on top, supply on bottom, are located on the front of the pneumatic block.
The supply and output connections for the SVI FF High Flow (Figure 10), located on bottom and leftside of the pneumatic block, are tapped 12" NPT.
Maximum allowable air supply pressure to the SVI FF varies according to actuator, valve size, and valve type. See Pressure Drop tables in valve specification sheets to determine the correct positioner supply pressure. Minimum supply pressure must be 5 psi to 10 psi (.345 bar - .69 bar)
(34.485 - 68.97 kPa) above maximum spring range but cannot exceed the rated actuator pressure.

Double Acting Positioner Description

Output I
Supply
Output II
The Double Acting (DA) relay has a pair of opposed pneumatic outputs. When Output 1 delivers air to one side of the actuator, Output 2 vents air from the opposite side of the actuator piston. The volume of air trapped in each determines the position of the actuator.
The Action (ATO or ATC) is applied with respect to Output 1. When Output 1 is connected to deliver air to extend the actuator, the action is ATC, on a down-seating valve.

The double-acting relay is designed to deliver pressure on both sides of a piston type actuator, so that the cylinder can provide the required thrust and stiffness. This stiffness is factory adjusted to 70% of the supply pressure. This means that, without any unbalance forces from the valve stem, both outputs deliver roughly 70% of air supply pressure.
Although it is not recommended, the stiffness can be adjusted by moving the Adjustable Seat assembly up or down.

Mounting the SVI FF on Rotary Valves

This procedure is used to mount the SVI FF on rotary control valves that have less than 60° rotation, such as a Camflex or a Varimax to “Rotary - 90°” on page 54.
Required Tools
The following tools are needed to complete the rotary valve installation:
316" Hex Key with tee handle
532" Hex Key
3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm Hex Key
716" Wrench
To mount the SVI FF:
1. Attach the SVI FF rotary mounting bracket to the valve actuator using two (2) 516 - 18 UNC flat-head cap screws. Mount the SVI FF as shown in Figure 19, ATO or in Figure 20 on page 51, ATC. In the preferred mounting position, the long end of the mounting bracket is on your left when facing the actuator, for any position of the valve and actuator.
. For valves that have rotation greater than 60° refer

2. Bolt the extension shaft to the valve position take-off shaft using a 1⁄4 - 28 UNF socket flathead screw. Secure the machine screw holding the extension shaft with a torque of 144 in-lbs (16.269 N-m).
Upon internal valve pressure the thrust shaft is pushed out to the mechanical stops, usually a thrust bearing. On valves where the valve position take-off is mounted directly on the end of the plug shaft, a Camflex for example, the shaft must be bearing on its stop to properly set up the SVI FF digital valve positioner. During hydrostatic testing the shaft is thrust to its stop and a normally tightened packing retains it in that position.
On vacuum service, the valve shaft can be drawn into the body by the vacuum acting on the shaft, but the magnetic coupling must be assembled flush with the mounting bracket with the shaft pulled fully out to its thrust bearing.
3. Ensure that the end play from the vacuum position to the fully extended position is less than 0.06 in. (1.524 mm).
4. Slide the magnet holder into the extension shaft . The location of the magnets is in the ring of the magnet holder. The magnetic axis is the imaginary line through the center of both magnets.
5. Rotate the magnet holder so that the magnet axis is vertical when the valve is in the closed position. See Figure 19 on page 50 and Figure 20.
6. Align the end of the magnet holder flush with the end of the mounting bracket. Secure the magnet holder with two M6 set screws.
7. Slide the V-Seal over the magnet holder.
8. Secure the SVI FF onto the mounting bracket using four M6 x 20 mm Socket Head Cap screws.

WARNING
For actuators with 60 to 120° rotation, follow the instructions in “Mounting the SVI FF on Rotary Valves” on page 50, except mount the magnet at plus or minus 45° while the actuator is de-energized as shown in Figure 22.
Figure 22 Model 33 Actuator
Magnet Orientation on Rotary Valve Shafts
The same mounting hardware is used for Models 35, 30 actuators. For each actuator type the magnetic coupling must be properly oriented to the active sensing angle of the positioner’s Hall Effect sensor. The active range of the Hall Effect sensor is plusminus 70° from the null magnet axis.
If the total valve travel is less than 60°, allowing a margin for tolerances, the best accuracy is achieved by mounting the magnet with the axis vertical in the valve-closed position. The axis of the magnets is the line through the centers of both magnets.
If travel of the valve exceeds 60°, the magnet must be assembled to the rotary valve shaft so that the magnet axis is vertical when the valve is at mid-scale.
Dismantling the SVI FF from Rotary Valves
Before carrying out any work on the device, power off the instrument or make sure that the device’s location conditions for potentially explosive atmosphere permit the safe opening of the cover.

Mounting the SVI FF on Reciprocating Valves

This section describes the procedure for mounting the SVI FF on Reciprocating Valves (using Masoneilan’s 8788 Multi-Spring actuators as an example).
Tools required:
716" Combination Wrench (2 required)
38" Combination Wrench
12" Combination Wrench
Phillips Head Screw Driver
5 mm Hex Key Wrench
Mounting the SVI FF on a Reciprocating Actuator
1. Ensure that the lever is pinned to the magnet assembly and held securely by an M5 flat head screw to ensure that the magnet axis is vertical when the lever is in the valve closed position. Tighten the lever screw securely.
2. Mount the SVI FF reciprocating mounting bracket to the actuator using two (2) 516 - 18 UNC cap screws. The mounting location of the bracket depends on the size and stroke of the actuator. Refer to Figure 23 and Table 7 on page 57.

Connecting the Tubing and Air Supply

WARNING
NOTE
The last step in hardware installation for the SVI FF is to connect the air supply to the positioner. This section describes the process for connecting the tubing and air supply to a single and double acting positioner.
Isolate the valve from the process and disconnect air tubing from the positioner. Disconnect air fully to avoid injury or process damage.
The use of a Masoneilan filter regulator with a 5-micron filter is recommended for the air supply. Use 14" (6.35 mm) minimum tubing between filter regulator, the SVI FF and the actuator, with 38" (9.53 mm) used for larger actuators. Use a soft setting anaerobic hydraulic seal such as Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542 for sealing the pneumatic pipe threads. Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Maximum allowable air supply pressure to the SVI FF varies according to actuator and valve size and type. See pressure drop tables in valve specification sheets to determine correct positioner supply pressure. Minimum supply pressure must be 5 to 10 psi (.345 bar - .69 bar) (34.485 - 68.97 kPa) above maximum spring pressure.
1. Install the tubing to the air supply port,

Use the following procedure to ensure that the SVI FF is properly powered:
Output Switches
The SVI FF supports a contact output, SW #1 (Discrete Output switch), that can be logically linked to status bits.
The switch is polarity sensitive and must be connected only to a DC circuit. The switch (+) terminal must be electrically positive with respect to the (–) terminal. If the (+) terminal is electrically negative with respect to the (–) terminal, then the switch will conduct.
If the switch is connected directly across the power source the current will be limited only by the capacity of the power source and the switch can be damaged.
Use an FOUNDATION
Fieldbus approved device to ensure that the voltage is between
9 and 32 V. If voltage is less than 9 V, the voltage is out of range. If 9 V is not attainable, see “Troubleshooting” on page 117.
Improperly or inadequately grounded installations can cause noise or instability in the control loop. The internal electronic components are isolated from ground. Refer to FOUNDATION Fieldbus website for documentation and further instruction.
Without a load, when the switch is on (closed) the external voltage would be dropped across the switch. This damages the switch (Figure 34).

Power Up the SVI FF

WARNING
CAUTION
NOTE
NOTE
NOTE
Before powering up the SVI FF:
This process can cause the valve to move. Before proceeding be sure the valve is isolated from the process. Keep hands clear from moving parts.
Always power the SVI FF from a fieldbus power supply that supplies 9 to 32 VDC.
When an SVI FF is turned on, apply the air supply before applying the electrical input signal.
1. Verify that the pneumatic connections and electronic cover screws are tightened. This is important to maintain the ingress protection level and the integrity of the flameproof enclosure.
2. If the installation is Intrinsically Safe, check that the proper barriers are installed and the field wiring meets local and national codes for an IS installation.
3. If the installation is non-incendive, then check that all the electrical connections are to approved devices and wiring meets local and national codes.
4. Verify that the markings on the label are consistent with the application.
For Hazardous Location Installation information refer to “Specifications and References” on page 95.
5. Proceed to perform a Calibration and Configuration.
If the SVI FF is specified without local pushbuttons and display, local operation is not available. Configure and calibrate with ValVue or using the DD a handheld Communicator.

6. Failsafe/OOS Considerations

CAUTION

Failsafe Mode vs. OOS Mode

In the FF device certain hardware and firmware failures (Table 9) cause OOS mode. These failures are reported as a Failsafe condition on the Local User Interface. Failsafe can be caused by the position sensor condition when the magnets are out of range. See “Mounting the SVI FF on Rotary Valves” on page 50 or “Mounting the SVI FF on Reciprocating Valves” on page 55 to adjust the magnets. Failsafe can also be caused by SVI FF internal damage.
To change the mode from OOS to any of the working modes, you must correct the Failsafe condition cause. Possibly the device electronics may need replacement, which involves contacting BHGE technical support.
Normally, the device Failsafe condition results in the OOS mode for the Transducer block. However, this behavior is configurable and may be changed using the parameter FAILED_STATE, sub-parameter PROPAGATE_APFS_TO_RB. By default this flag is set. If you set this flag, the
following sequence occurs as a result of Failsafe:
1. The Transducer block transitions to the OOS, which transitions the Resource block to OOS.
2. The Resource block then sets OOS for the downstream blocks.
If the faults in Table 9 occur several times in a row, ensure that environmental noise is not the cause. If the environment is not noisy contact Masoneilan.

Exiting Failsafe Using AMS

To exit Failsafe:
1. Inspect the (current) faults/status flags (Figure 40).
Figure 40 AMS Status/Faults
2. If there are:
No failsafe faults, the method change app mode works, but in most cases it is
unnecessary, and simply changing the Transducer block mode works fine.
Failsafe faults, they should be addressed (removed) first by:
a. Correcting the underlying cause.
b. Clearing the faults by:
i.) Scrolling down and pressing the button at the bottom of Figure 40.
ii.) Reviewing the screen for repeating faults.
iii.) Switch mode to Manual or Auto as required.

Repair by Replacement

NOTE
Using ValVue and repair-by-replacement is the fastest method to service an SVI FF. See the ValVue instruction manual for details regarding uploading and downloading configuration files. Upload all configuration information from the installed positioner to ValVue, then install the replacement positioner and download the configuration file into the replacement unit. Run STOPS, and Auto Tune, and the repair is complete. The positioner that was removed can be refurbished and reused.

Internal Diagnostics

The SVI FF performs internal self-diagnostics and hardware checks. When ValVue or handheld or the local display indicates that there are error messages write them down for troubleshooting.

FAILSAFE Mode

Substitution of components can void safety approvals.
See “Failsafe/OOS Considerations” on page 79. for further discussions.
Several of the internal diagnostics tests puts the SVI FF into FAILSAFE mode if the errors continue for a preset time. When the SVI FF goes into FAILSAFE, the valve is driven to its Failsafe position. It remains in that position until a technician clears the cause of the error and resets the instrument. Reset is performed in two ways:
Connect a FF H1 segment and ValVue, and then change the Transducer block mode (if
faults are already cleared).
or
Turn the power off and on.
To prevent the valve from moving after reset, put the controller in manual, and set the valve position setpoint to the failsafe position 0% if ATO, 100% if ATC.

can, under different conditions, fail in place, fail open, or fail close. In cases where the valve must fail to a required position additional control equipment is required.
Some overshoot can occur when air pressure returns after a period without air supply pres­sure. Always set control set point to 0%, and put the process control system in manual, for smooth recovery from air supply failure.
Output 2 rises to supply pressure.
