1 GENERAL INFORMATION
This instruction manual contains operating information for SRD991, Rev. 3.4 or Rev. 3.5 and SRD960,
TM
Rev 2.0 Intelligent Positioners using the FOUNDATIONfieldbus technology to interconnect with other
devices.

Fieldbus is an all digital, serial two-way communication system, a Local Area Network (LAN) for
instruments with built-in capability to distribute control application across the network. This two-wire
connection is used for power supply and digital communication in parallel.

The fieldbus allows multiple variables from each device to be brought into the control system for
archival, trend analysis, process optimization and report generation.

SRD991/SRD960 is a Link Master device with the capability to become a Link Active Scheduler (LAS).
A LAS initiates scheduled communication, publishing data to all devices on the fieldbus. Scheduled
data are typically used for regular, cyclic transfer of control loop data between devices.

A Fieldbus may have multiple Link Masters. If the current LAS fail, one of the remaining Link Masters
will become the LAS and operation of the Fieldbus will continue.

Unscheduled communication is possible for all devices, after the LAS grants permission to a device.

A SRD991/SRD960 consists of two Virtual Field Devices (VFD). One VFD is used for Network
Management and System Management, the other for User Application. Network Management includes
Virtual Communication Relationships (VCR), dynamic variables, statistics, and LAS schedules, if the
device is a Link Master. System Management includes device tag and address information, and
schedules for function block execution.

The device functions, which are determined by the arrangement and interconnection of blocks, are
made visible to the fieldbus communication system through the User Application Virtual Field Device.

The SRD991/SRD960 intelligent positioner provides

1 Resource Block,

1 Analog Output Function Block,

1 Analog Output Transducer Block (Advanced Positioner Basic Valve Access Transducer Block
APV),

1 PID Function Block,

2 Discrete Input Function Blocks,

1 Discrete Input Transducer Block,

1 Discrete Output Function block,

1 Discrete Output Transducer Block.

The User Application VFD consists of the following objects:

6 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
Link Objects, where links between Function Block inputs and outputs are defined (internal to the
device and across the network);

Trend Objects, to allow hosts or other devices access to local trending of function block
parameters;

Alert Objects, to allow reporting of alarms and events on the fieldbus;

View Objects, where predefined block parameter sets are grouped to be used by human/machine
interfaces.

The SRD991/SRD960 Intelligent Positioner contains

Up to 22 Link Objects,

Up to 10 Floating Point Trend Objects,

Up to 6 Discrete Trend Objects,

1 Float Alert Object,

1 Discrete Alert Object,

1 Update Event Alert Object,

9 View Objects for the Resource Block (the third View Object is divided into 4 views, the fourth
View Object is divided into 3 views),

4 View Objects for the Analog Output Function Block,

4 View Objects for the PID Function Block,

12 View Objects for the AO Transducer Block (Advanced Positioner Valve Basic Access
Transducer), the third View Object is divided into 3 views, the fourth View Object is divided into 7
views,

4 View Objects for the Discrete Input Function Blocks,

4 View Objects for the Discrete Input Transducer Block,

4 View Objects for the Discrete Output Function Block,

4 View Objects for the Discrete Output Transducer Block.

It contains no Domain and Program Invocation Objects and no Action Object.

1.1 Device Address Assignment

Every fieldbus device must have a unique network address and physical device tag for the fieldbus to
operate properly.
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 7
When a SRD991/SRD960 Intelligent Positioner is shipped from the factory, it is programmed with a
unique Physical Device Tag and a unique Device Identification and a default permanent address.

Table 1: system management identification data

Name Value
Device Identification 3858842401-<yy/nnnnnn> or
3858842481-<yy/nnnnnn>
Physical Device Tag SRD991-<yy/nnnnnn> or
SRD960-<yy/nnnnnn>
Node Address 32 (0x20)

<yy/nnnnnn> = Fabrication number (for example: 93/123456).

Because all of these three parameters are set, the SRD991/SRD960 system management starts in
state SM_OPERATIONAL. To become fully operational, it may be necessary to do further network
communication configurations, depending on the host system or the actual network application.

If the station cannot use the assigned node address because this address is already used by another
device, it is assigned one of the default addresses (0xF8..0xFF) and the state is set to INITIALIZED. In
this state no other services are available except assigning a node address, clearing the physical
device tag and identifying the device.
If Device Identification is set only, system management starts in state UNINITIALIZED. In this state no
other services but identifying the device and configuring the device with a physical device tag are
available.

1.2 Supported Services

The intelligent positioner SRD991/SRD960 Fieldbus supports the following services:

For a detailed description of system management services and procedures see Fieldbus specification
FF-880.

1.3 Block Modes

Commissioning a SRD991/SRD960 requires to modify some parameters in the Resource, Analog

Output, and Transducer Block. A MODE parameter, which exists in every Block, determines the
operating behavior of each block. The MODE parameter has 4 components:

Target mode – the mode(s) set by the operator; multiple target modes can be set. Only modes
from those allowed by the permitted modes may be requested.

Actual mode – the current mode of the block. The value may differ from the target mode based on
operating conditions.

Permitted mode – defines the modes which are allowed for a block.

Normal mode – This is the mode for a block under normal operating conditions. The normal mode
is set by the configurator, but can only be set to a permitted mode.

Some parameters are only allowed to change, if the Block Mode (target or actual mode) has a specific
value. The requirements to change a parameter are listed in the description of all parameters later in
this manual (chapter 3.25).

FOUNDATIONfieldbus has defined the following target modes:

Table 3: Target Block Modes

Bit Meaning Priority
0 (LSB) Remote-Output (ROUT) 0 - lowest
1 Remote-Cascade (RCAS) 1
2 Cascade (CAS) 2
3 Automatic (AUTO) 3
4 Manual (MAN) 4
5 Local Override (LO) 5
6 Initialization Manual (IMAN) 6
7 (MSB) Out of Service (OOS) 7 - highest

The ―automatic‖ modes are AUTO, CAS, and RCAS. The ―manual‖ modes are IMAN, LO, MAN and
ROUT. In OOS mode the normal algorithm is no longer executed and any outstanding alarms are
cleared.

2 INITIAL SETUP

2.1 Procedure for Installing Device Description Files

TM
The Fieldbus Foundation has specified a Device Description Language (DDL) to achieve
interoperability between devices from various manufacturers. The Device Description (DD) describes
all the information available at the fieldbus interface. The DD is available in the standard fieldbus
binary format and contains the following set of files for SRD991 and another set for SRD960:

1001.FFO
1001.SYM.

Every fieldbus host application, which uses Device Description Services (DDS), is able to get
information about a device description.

The file 100101.CFF is a common format file for use in configuring and maintaining devices and their
function block applications. This is a human-readable document in plain text format.

The device description files need to be stored in the appropriate directories. It depends on the host
system where the ―device data‖ directory is localized. Sub-directories are organized in the following
form:

ManufacturerID
|
DeviceType
|
DeviceRevDDRev.FFO
DeviceRevDDRev.SYM
DeviceRevDDRevCFFRev.CFF

ManufacturerID = 385884 (hexadecimal)

DeviceType = 2401 (hexadecimal) for SRD991 or 2481 (hexadecimal) for SRD960
DeviceRev = 10
DDRev = 01
CFFRev = 01

After installing the SRD9xx device description files the directory structure is as follows:

<DEVICE_DATA>
|
385884
|
2401
| |
| 1001.FFO
| 1001.SYM
| 100101.CFF
|
2481
|
1001.FFO
1001.SYM
100101.CFF

Please note that even if the file names are identical for device types 2401 and 2481, their content is
different.
10 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
Because the SRD9xx complies with Interoperability Test Kit Version 4.6, please verify that the
standard text dictionary file STANDARD.DCT has at least version 1.32. Older versions cannot read
the resource block descriptions correctly.

You can download the latest device description files from our website

http://www.foxboro-eckardt.de/products/srd991_en.html or
http://www.foxboro-eckardt.de/products/srd960_en.html.

2.2 Integration into AMS Device Manager and DeltaV DCS

AMS Device Manager and DeltaV DCS of Emerson Process Systems use in addition to the DD
windows resource files to help users configure, manage calibrations and monitor devices. They
provide access to Resource and Transducer blocks. SRD991 and SRD960 are fully integrated into
these systems.

You can download a complete set of necessary files from our website

http://www.foxboro-eckardt.de/products/srd991_en.html or
http://www.foxboro-eckardt.de/products/srd960_en.html.

2.3 Commissioning

Before beginning the initial setup, the positioner should be correctly mounted and electrically ready for
operation as described in MI EVE0105 A-(en). The safety regulations must be observed, as
described in MI EVE0105 A-(en) in Chap. 10!

The positioner is preset with default parameters by the manufacturer, and instrument-specific data are
permanently stored. The internal temperature sensor and the position sensor angle are calibrated.

During first commissioning an Autostart must be performed. For the automatic determination of the
operation range perform a Short Autostart (EXAMINE ENDPOINTS) only. For an automatic determination
of the operation range and the control parameters four different types of AUTOSTART procedure can be
selected:

Standard medium response time, slight overshoot allowed, up to 3 iterations for calculating
control parameters

Enhanced medium response time, slight overshoot allowed, up to 10 iterations for calculating
control parameters

Smooth slower response time without overshoot

Fast fast response time with overshoot probability

Before initiating an AUTOSTART, at least the following AO Transducer Block parameters have to be set
to their correct values:
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 11

Table 4: Preset Parameters for Autostart

Parameter Label Parameter Name Description
VALVE_ACT Actuator Type 1 = single-acting
2 = double-acting
POSITION_LINEARIZATION Position 2 = linear actuator (sliding stem), left mounted
linearization
3 = rotary actuator, opening counterclockwise
6 = linear actuator (sliding stem), right mounted
7 = rotary actuator, opening clockwise

The manufacturer has set VALVE_ACT to its correct value, POSITION_LINEARIZATION is set to 2 by
default, which means linear actuator (sliding stem), left mounted.

Changing these values can be done by means of local keys as described in MI EVE0105 A-(en) or by
using a configuration tool (for example NI-FBUS-Configurator System) or by a host system using FF
communication protocol and write the desired values to these parameters, which are located in the AO
Transducer Block.

During first commissioning the user-specific data must be entered. These are described in chapters 4
and 5 later in this manual. If no entry is made, the default parameters are retained.

Note
The Resource Block Mode must be OUT OF SERVICE before executing an AUTOSTART.

CAUTION
This function automatically opens and closes the valve. Isolate the device from the process
before initiating this procedure. In case of performing an AUTOSTART previous control
parameters will be overridden!
12 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

Initiating an Autostart can be done in three different ways:

By means of local keys as described in MI EVE0105 A-(en);

Using a configuration tool and write to parameter SELF_CAL_CMD in the APV Transducer
Block. In case of SHORT AUTOSTART the value to be written is 3, in case of AUTOSTART the
following values are available:

2 Standard Type
4 Smooth Type
5 Fast Type
6 Enhanced Type

Use the provided AO Transducer methods PERFORM_AUTOSTART and

PERFORM_SHORT_AUTOSTART. Refer to chapter 4.1 for details.

You can monitor the state of the procedure by watching the LED/LCD on the device or look at the
value of the parameter STAT_AUTOINIT in the APV Transducer Block. Flashing of LED is described
in MI EVE0105 A-(en). If you have initiated an Autostart with a method, a new window will be opened
and you will get information about the course of it.

The following values are defined for parameter STAT_AUTOINIT:

0x10 to 0x11 finding end positions

0x20 to 0x2F calculating I/P-converter parameters
0x30 to 0x3F calculating control parameters (Standard, Smooth and Fast Autostart only)
0x40 to 0x42 measuring travel time (Standard, Smooth and Fast Autostart only)
0x01 Autostart error

When the value of the parameter STAT_AUTOINIT is set to ZERO again the Autostart is completed.

Note
The Autostart procedure may take several minutes.

After performing a SHORT AUTOSTART, or if the AUTOSTART procedure is aborted prematurely after
determining the operating range, the control parameters must be determined and entered manually.
Please refer to the Control Parameters section 4.3 for details.

The Autostart function will change the values of the following parameters:

POS_ENDPOINT_LOW, POS_ENDPOINT_HIGH,
ACT_STROKE_TIME_INC, ACT_STROKE_TIME_DEC,
ADC_GAIN, MOTOR_PAR, SPRING_ACT,
STAT_AUTOINIT,
SERVO_GAIN, SERVO_RATE, SERVO_RESET,
SERVO_GAIN2, SERVO_RATE2, SERVO_RESET2.

Please refer to chapter 5 (Configuration Procedure using a Fieldbus Host) for configuration details, if
you use a National Instruments configuration system tool.

Note to memory classes S, N, D
There is an EEPROM on each device which will store all the static (S) and non-volatile (N) data. Write accesses to this part are limited because of technical
restrictions. Write access cycles are limited to around 100.000. Do not exceed this limit! Otherwise there is no security that data are retained and the
functionality of the device is no longer ensured.

Please note that write accesses to static or non-volatile data using acyclic FF communication services (Client – Server, Source – Sink, Peer – Peer) will write
to this section. Cyclic communication types (publisher – subscriber) won’t write to EEPROM.

Do not write to static or non-volatile parameters permanently!

3.2 AO Function Block Diagram

The Analog Output function is a standard implementation of an AO function block as defined by

FOUNDATIONfieldbus in specification FF891-2 (Function Block Application Part 2). All available
parameters are described in section 3.1 above.

Note: While first commissioning or after performing a ―Restart with Defaults‖ (see chapter 4.13) please
verify that the parameter CHANNEL is set to 1. Otherwise there is no valid link to the AO Transducer.

3.4 DI Function Block Diagram

The DI function is a standard implementation of a DI function block as defined by FOUNDATIONfieldbus

in specification FF891-2 (Function Block Application Part 2). ). All available parameters are described
in section 3.1 above.

The functional schematic appears below:

FIELD_VAL_D shows the state of the hardware linked to the DI Transducer block parameter
PRIMARY_VALUE_D. Optional inverting is available in IO_OPTS. A delay time can be configured with
PV_FTIME which sets the time for FIELD_VAL_D being in one state until it will be passed to PV_D.

Function blocks DI1 and DI2 are identical. Both are linked to the same DI Transducer block.
DI1 should be connected to CHANNEL 2 and DI2 to CHANNEL 3 respectively. There are two
parameters available in the DI transducer to configure these channels. They are called CONFIG_DI1
and CONFIG_DI2. Please refer to chapter 3.20 for details.

3.5 DO Function Block Diagram

The DO function is a standard implementation of a DO function block as defined by

FOUNDATIONfieldbus in specification FF891-2 (Function Block Application Part 2). ).
All available parameters are described in section 3.1 above.

The functional schematic appears below:

SP_D supports the full cascade sub-function. Set target mode of MODE_BLK to CAS | AUTO to
transfer the output of another block to CAS_IN_D. Optional inverting is available in IO_OPTS. OUT_D
will be transferred to FINAL_VALUE_D of the DO Transducer if CHANNEL is set to 4. READBACK_D
is supported if enabled in IO_OPTS. READBACK_D will hold the value of parameter
FINAL_POS_VAL_D of the DO Transducer block.

For details about the DO Transducer refer to chapter 3.8 below.

3.6 AO Transducer Block Diagram

The AO Transducer is a Standard Advanced Positioner Valve Basic Access Block with additional
manufacturer specific extensions.

The transducer input is the FINAL_VALUE parameter, which is fed by the Analog Output Parameter
OUT. The value can be modified using scaling, sealing, characterization, stroke limitations and filtering
functions. This modified value is the working setpoint for the servo control section.

The actual position is measured using the position sensor input and modified depending on the
selected actuator system and mounting type (POSITION_LINEARIZATION parameter). The resulting
value is stored in the parameter FINAL_POSITION_VALUE and transferred to the Analog Output
parameter READBACK. FINAL_POSITION_VALUE is the actual value for the servo control section.

The servo control function uses a standard PID control algorithm with one set of GAIN, RESET and
RATE parameters for valve opening direction and another set (GAIN2, RESET2, RATE2) for valve
closing direction. Output of the servo control unit is the current to the final element, which is the I/P-
converter module.

Parameter CONTROL_GAP defines the sensitivity of the positioner so that no corrective action is
taken if the control difference is less than the defined limit (i.e. defining a deadband where a change of
the setpoint doesn’t make any sense caused by stictio the device ieldbus ally of a valve).

If another characteristic than LINEAR is active, the Analog Output process value (PV) will be re-
calculated to a linear behavior based on the selected characterization.

3.7 DI Transducer Block Diagram

The DI transducer block is a manufacturer specific implementation. All available parameters are
described in section 3.1 above.

The functional schematic is shown below:

Depending on the value of CONFIG_DI1 and CONFIG_DI2 different sources can be enabled to set
the value of PRIMARY_VALUE_D to 1. All possible sources are described for each configuration
parameter in section 3.1 above.

ALARM_DI1 and ALARM_DI2 provide the set state of each source enabled through CONFIG_DI1 or
CONFIG_DI2 respectively. Depending on the value of CHANNEL an or-ed value of ALARM_DI1 or
ALARM_DI2 will be generated and transferred to PRIMARY_VALUE_D.

A value 0 means no selected input is set. A value 1 means at least one of the selected inputs is set.

3.8 DO Transducer Block Diagram

The DO transducer block is a manufacturer specific implementation. All available parameters are
described in section 3.1 above.

The functional schematic is shown below:

Parameter CONFIG_DO determines how the input FINAL_VALUE_D is calculated to parameter value
FINAL_POS_VAL_D. Refer to page 80 for details about the range of values for CONFIG_DO.

Transducer input FINAL_VALUE_D will be rescaled to the end positions detected by the Autostart
procedure. In addition the working setpoint will be calculated using the open/close sealing,
upper/lower limit settings, linearization type settings and PT1 filtering section of the APV Transducer.
The whole servo control package of the APV transducer will be used to control the valve so that the
velocity can be set by the user.

The actual position is measured using the position sensor input and modified depending on the
selected actuator system and mounting type (POSITION_LINEARIZATION parameter set in APV
Transducer). The resulting value is stored in the parameter FINAL_POSITION_VALUE in percent
units. FINAL_POS_VAL_D provides the matching discrete value, rescaled using the threshold values
in parameters RB_LOWER_THRESHOLD and RB_UPPER_THRESHOLD i.e. if the actual position is
lower than RB_LOWER_THRESHOLD the value of FINAL_POS_VAL_D will be set to 0. If the actual
position reaches the value of RB_UPPER_THRESHOLD, the value of FINAL_POS_VAL_D will be set
to 1. FINAL_POSITION_VALUE will represent the actual position in percent.

Please note that an optional binary input board has a higher priority and will override the
settings in the DO Transducer.

3.10 DIAGNOSIS

The SRD991/SRD960 has several built-in functions to monitor the behavior of the positioner/actuator/
valve system.

The Resource Block parameter DIAGNOSIS holds actual and historical information about
system and process errors.

AO Transducer parameters CONTROL_DIFF_LIMIT and CONTROL_DIFF_TIME are

configuration parameters, which hold information about when Resource Block alarm Device
need maintenance now will be generated if a control difference between requested transducer
final value and actual valve position exceeds the allowed limit for the user-specified time.

Resource Block parameters CYCLE_CNT and TRAVEL_SUM count the changes in actuator
movement and the number of full stroke movements. Resource Block parameters
CYCLE_CNT_LIMIT and TRAVEL_SUM_LIMIT and TRAVEL_SUM_DEADBAND hold the
user-specified limit values, when Resource Block alarm Device need maintenance now will be
generated, if the actual value of CYCLE_CNT or TRAVEL_SUM exceed the configured limit.

AO Transducer Block parameter LOW_PRESSURE_LIMIT allows the user to specify a lower

limit for supply air, if optional pressure sensors are available. When the pressure is falling
below this limit the Resource Block alarm Device need maintenance now will be generated.

Parameter TARGET_ERROR in each Function and Transducer Block give the user
information about problems with the ieldbus interface. Please refer to chapter 3.11 for
details.

A set of 13 methods in the Resource Block informs about actual status and configuration of
the device. Please refer to chapter 4.7 Using Diagnostic Methods for details.

3.10.1 DIAGNOSIS Parameter

The actual and historical status can be read in the DIAGNOSIS parameter, which contains six entries
of data type bit enumerated.
Entry 1 contains system errors. The individual bits of the status byte are defined below. When the
specified condition exists, the status bit will be set to one, otherwise the status bit will be reset to zero.
Table 8 describes system errors.
Entry 2 contains additional system errors. The individual bits of the status byte are defined below.
When the specified condition exists, the status bit will be set to one, otherwise the status bit will be
zero. Table 9 describes additional system errors.
Entry 3 contains process errors. The individual bits of the status byte are defined below. When the
specified condition exists, the status bit will be set to one, otherwise the status bit will be zero. Table
10 describes process errors.
Entries 4, 5 and 6 contain historical errors. The meaning of the individual bits of the status bytes is the
same as described above.
When the specified condition arises, the corresponding historical status bit will be set to one. Bits,
which are set, can be cleared, if the specified condition is no longer active. The only function, which
allows clearing a historical status, is performing a RESET HISTORICAL STATUS command – e.g. writing
any value to Resource Block parameter RESET_HIST_STATUS.

8 Uncertain if MAN mode

Table legend:

IFS if BAD IN Available for PID: Set Initiate Fault State status in OUT, if status of IN
is BAD.

IFS if BAD CAS_IN Available for PID: Set Initiate Fault State status in OUT, if status of
CAS_IN is BAD.

Use Uncertain as Good Available for PID: If status of IN is Uncertain, treat it as Good.
Otherwise treat is as BAD.

Propagate Fault Backward Available for AO: If the status from the actuator is Bad, Device failure
or Fault State Active or Local Override is active, propagate this as
Bad, Device Failure or Good Cascade, Fault State Active or Local
Override to BKCAL_OUT respectively without generating an alarm.
The user may determine whether alarming (sending of an alert) will be
done by the block or propagated upstream for alarming.

Target to MAN if BAD IN Available for PID: Set target mode to MAN, if status of IN is BAD. This
latches PID block in MAN if the input ever goes bad.

Uncertain if MAN mode Available for DI: set output status to uncertain if the measured value is
limited.

3.18 VALVE_DIAG_STATUS Parameter

The actual and historical valve status can be read in the resource block parameter
VALVE_DIAG_STATUS, which contains six entries of data type bit-enumerated.
The first three entries (al_valve_diag1, al_valve_diag2, al_misc_diag) contain actual status the last
three contain historical status. The meaning of the individual bits of the historical status bytes is the
same as the definition for the actual status.
When the specified condition arises, the corresponding historical status bit will be set to one. Bits,
which are set, can be cleared, if the specified condition is no longer active.
The only function, which allows clearing a historical status, is performing a RESET HISTORICAL STATUS
command – e.g. write any value to Resource Block parameter RESET_HIST_STATUS.
The meaning of the first three entries is described in the following table:

3.20 CONFIG DI1/DI2 Parameter

Two discrete input blocks can be connected to one discrete input transducer block. The DI transducer
contains one configuration parameter for each DI function block. Parameter CONFIG_DI1 can be set
to enable the alarm conditions for discrete input block 1 and CONFIG_DI2 selects the alarm sources
for discrete input block 2. The alarms are identical to the definition of the ALARM_LINK parameter.
Please refer to chapter 3.17 ALARM_LINK Parameter for details.

3.21 ALARM DI1/DI2 Parameter

Parameters ALARM_DI1 and ALARM_DI2 reflect the actual status of the enabled alarm sources.
These parameters are only updated, if a schedule is downloaded with the correct CHANNEL values to
connect discrete input function block DI1 and DI2 to the DI transducer.

DI1 requires CHANNEL value set to 2 and DI2 is connected to the transducer with CHANNEL value 3.

The data structure is identical to the definition of the ALARM_LINK parameter. Please refer to chapter
3.17 ALARM_LINK Parameter for details.

3.22 Maintenance – History Interval and Service Interval

The history intervals TIME_SCALE_MIN_HIST, TIME_SCALE_HRS_HIST,

TIME_SCALE_DAYS_HIST, TIME_SCALE_MONTHS_HIST are used to configure the four different
historians for the Position History and the Response History. These historians store the data inside of
the positioner for a later upload for the specific time windows. Later in operation this enables to see
what happened within the process,
showing the last 15 minutes (POS_MIN_HIST and RSP_MIN_HIST),
up to 24 hours (POS_HRS_HIST and RSP_HRS_HIST),
up to 30 days (POS_DAYS_HIST and RSP_DAYS_HIST)
and up to 60 months/5 years (POS_MONTHS_HIST and RSP_MONTHS_HIST).
122 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
Attention!

Once the history intervals are set, they should not be reconfigured during operation, because
this will delete all stored data of each historian.

For details about how to reset the data see description of RST_VALVE_DIAG_STAT parameter.

POS_MIN_HIST and RSP_MIN_HIST:

Preset to 15 minutes. This history shows the last 15 minutes of the process for the Position History
and the Response History. The interval cannot be re-configured.

POS_HRS_HIST and RSP_HRS_HIST:

Preset to 24 hours. This history shows the last 1 to 24 hours of the process for the Position History
and the Response History. The interval can be configured between 1 to 24 hours in parameter
TIME_SCALE_HRS_HIST.

POS_DAYS_HIST and RSP_DAYS_HIST

Preset to 30 days. This history shows the last 1 to 30 days of the process for the Position History and
the Response History. The interval can be configured between 1 to 30 days in parameter
TIME_SCALE_DAYS_HIST.

POS_MONTHS_HIST and RSP_MONTHS_HIST:

Preset to 12 months. This history shows the last 1 to 12 months of the process for the Position History
and the Response History. The interval can be configured between 1 to 60 months in parameter
TIME_SCALE_MONTHS_HIST.

Parameter SERVICE_REMINDER_AFTER [0.1 hours] is used in connection with the value for
parameter ACT_TIME_IN_OPERATION [0.1 hours]. The Actual Time in Operation provides the
information how long the total operation time of this unit is. Once this value exceeds the value
configured under Service Reminder status ―Service interval reached‖ is set in parameter
VALVE_DIAG_STATUS, informing that the device needs to be serviced. In addition the Status of
Service Interval will switch from Good to Service. The device also shows the
TIME_SINCE_LAST_SERVICE [0.1 hours].

Example values for parameter SERVICE REMINDER_AFTER are explained on next page.

3.23 Load Factor and Load Factor History

The Stem Friction Measurement is an indispensable feature for today’s predictive maintenance
capabilities of any control valve. This feature allows predicting possible leakages or stuck valves and
in return prevents dangerous spills, injuries of personnel, damage to plant equipment and the
environment, and in result expensive downtimes of the valve.

The Load Factor/Stem Friction is a value to determine the force/friction between the stem and the
packing during a movement. This measurement requires the optional pressure sensors to measure
the supply pressure and the output pressure(s). Each time the stem or shaft moves, the positioner
measures the pressure overshoots caused by the stick-slip effect and calculates the values for the
friction of the movement displayed as the Load Factor value.

The following Resource Block parameters contain information about Load Factor and Load Factor
History:

VALVE_DIAG_STATUS
RST_VALVE_DIAG_STAT
RESPONSE_STATUS
LOAD_FACTOR
LOAD_FACTOR_MIN
LOAD_FACTOR_MAX
LOAD_FACTOR_LOWER_LMT
LOAD_FACTOR_UPPER_LMT
LOAD_FACTOR_AVG
LOAD_FACTOR_REF_AVG
LOAD_FACTOR_REF_TIM
SET_LOAD_FACTOR_REF
LOAD_FACTOR_DAYS_HIST
LOAD_FACTOR_MONTHS_HIST
SPRING_RANGE_LOWER_VAL
SPRING_RANGE_UPPER_VAL
SPRING_RANGE_UNIT

Before an accurate friction measurement can take place, the value of the spring range that is listed on
the valve label needs to be entered. The spring range is only applicable to single-acting (spring
124 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
loaded) actuators and is defined with a lower and upper value. First select the engineering unit in psig,
kPa or bar of how the spring range is defined (parameter SPRING_RANGE_UNIT) then enter the
range.
The range is configured as SPRING_RANGE_LOWER_VAL to SPRING_RANGE_UPPER_VAL in
psig/kPa/bar and identifies the valve movement from fully closed (at e.g. lower value 1.5 bar) to fully
open (at e.g. upper value 2.7 bar).

In case the spring range is not available, it can also be determined manually after an Autostart has
been executed. Select the display for the output pressure in the LCD Menu. Slowly increase the
setpoint to the valve and check at what output pressure the valve starts moving
(SPRING_RANGE_LOWER_VAL is identified) and when the valve is fully open
(SPRING_RANGE_UPPER_VAL). This measurement is quite accurate.

After configuration write changes to the device.

Remark:

The Load Factor value can now still be very high, because the spring range originally could have been
out of scale. In this case go to RST_VALVE_DIAG_STAT and check the box for the Load Factor and
write the change to the device. The data in the fields for LOAD_FACTOR, LOAD_FACTOR_MIN,
LOAD_FACTOR_MAX will be reset. These values show the present measured value
(LOAD_FACTOR) and drag pointers for the Minimum Value (LOAD_FACTOR_MIN) and Maximum
Value (LOAD_FACTOR_MAX) over time.

The Load Factor History data are available for days to month intervals.
The interval can be configured in parameter TIME_SCALE_DAYS_HIST (1 to 30 days) and
TIME_SCALE_MONTHS_HIST (1 to 60 months).

Attention!

Once the history intervals are set, they should not be reconfigured during operation, because
this will delete all stored data of each historian.

Friction measurement history data are presented as a change in friction compared to a reference
value, which has been set by writing to parameter SET_LOAD_FACTOR_REF. The point in time when
the reference value was set is indicated in parameter LOAD_FACTOR_REF_TIM.

The Load Factor alarm limits (LOAD_FACTOR_LOWER_LMT, LOAD_FACTOR_UPPER_LMT)

should be configured after the first measurements have taken place and the average reference value
has been set. The best time to set these values is after a certain time in operation, when the valve is
―broken-in‖. Then the Load Factor alarm limits should be configured. The values can be configured
with a 25% increase of the measurements that is in relation to a 25% increase in the friction. This has
to be done for both values.
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 125
Seven categories defined as a relative frequency in percent can be differentiated:

Table 23: Friction history table

Data index Change in friction compared to Evaluated as

reference load_factor_ref (x) in
percent

1 -50 < x <= - 100 no stem friction

2 -25 < x <= -50 reduced friction

3 -5 < x <= -25 slightly reduced friction

4 5 < x <= -5 within initial measurement

5 5 < x <= 25 slightly increased friction

6 25 < x <= 50 increased friction

7 50 < x <= 100 stem is stuck

3.24 Partial Stroke Test

Final control elements in ESD applications such as ON-OFF-, Blow Down- and Venting-Valves remain
in one position over a longer time without any mechanical movement. These valves can show the
tendency to get stuck and in result might not operate upon demand. This can have a severe impact to
the functionality of a Safety System and in result to the operating personnel, plant equipment and the
environment.

The Partial Stroke Test (PST) offers operators a tool to identify the trouble proof function of such ESD
valves. The test can be easily executed. In the ―Manual‖ mode the test can be activated via a ―Start
test‖ command and in ―Automatic‖ within a freely defined time interval in [0.1hours] that allows stroking
the valve periodically. In both cases the valve can be stroked within a stroke ratio of up to 30 %. The
maximum wait time allows taking into account that each valve has a different dynamical behaviour e.g.
caused by the process media or the valve itself. If the valve has performed the test without any
problems, the status for the partial stroke test will go to ―OK‖. In case the valve does not move and
could be stuck, the operator will be informed by an alarm indicating an ―Error‖. Besides this the device
continuously monitors the health of the control valve, among others such as the stem friction, supply
and output pressure.
126 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

The following resource block parameters are involved in the partial stroke test procedure:

PST_STATUS Actual status

0 – Test has not been executed yet
1 – Test performed ―OK‖
2 – Test has been started and is in progress
4 – Test is restricted. Either the valve is in control or the valve is not
fully open
8 – Test ended with an error. The valve is stuck and cannot move. The
valve needs to be inspected.

PST_CONFIG Switch between manual and automatic configuration:

0 – Manual
1 – Automatic

PST_SP_CHANGE Defines the setpoint change of valve movement in percent from a fully
open valve position.
Range: 1 to 30 %

PST_DURATION Defines the time in seconds how long the positioner will keep the setpoint
change active

PST_COMMAND If PST_CONFIG is set to ―Manual‖, writing the ―Start test‖ command will
initiate a Partial Stroke Test immediately:
0 – No command
1 – Start test

4.2 Setting Input Characterization

What kind of ACTUATOR ACTION do you want to use?

Direct-acting -> Do not set Bit 5 (Increase to close) of Analog Output Parameter IO_OPTS
(default).
132 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
Reverse-acting -> Do set Bit 5 (Increase to close) of Analog Output Parameter IO_OPTS.

Choose LINEARIZATION TYPE:

Select Linear, Equal Percentage (1:50), Quick Open (50:1), or Custom in the AO Transducer Block
parameter LINEARIZATION_TYPE.
If you want to download a custom characteristic curve, you can use a method in the AO Transducer
Block, which is called Select characteristic curve. Please read the documentation of the host system,
how to use methods.
You can select one of the characteristics described above, but in addition you have the option to
download a custom characteristic. If you select another type than Custom, LINEARIZATION_TYPE
will be set to the selected value and the method returns with the message ―characterization is written‖.

If another linearization type than Linear is selected, the value of the AO-Block parameter READBACK
differs from PV. READBACK will show the actual valve position, PV will hold the back-calculated value
(re-calculated to a linear behavior) determined by the chosen characteristic curve.

4.2.1 Download a Custom Characteristic Curve

There is a Method called ―Select characteristic curve‖, which guides you through the procedure. If you
use NI-FBUS Configurator System, this Method is available in the AO Transducer Block task line.
This method allows you to enter a curve consisting of up to 22 variates (X-Y pairs). The X-value
represents the value of the input signal in engineering unit percent (%), the Y-value represents the
desired valve position in engineering unit percent (%) for the particular X-value.
Please refer to the following step-by-step description for downloading a custom characteristic:

Select <Methods> and then <Select characteristic curve>. The Method prompts you as follows:

You can select one out of the characterization tables following below.
If you want to change a custom characteristic curve, please verify first,
that the device resource block mode is “OUT OF SERVICE”:

1 Equal percentage 1:50

(2) Quick opening
(3) Custom specific
(4) Cancel

If you select <Custom specific>, the prompt is as follows for the default configuration:

You have selected custom specific characteristic curve.

The current truth table stored in the device is:

Array index X-Value Y-Value

0 0.0 0.0

Do you want to change this characteristic curve?

1 Yes
(2) No
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 133
If you select <No>, the Method informs you that the displayed characteristic is selected in the device
and closes:

Custom specific characterization, which is already present in the device, is selected.

If you select <Yes>, you will be asked to enter the desired number of sampling points.

Please enter number of pair of variates (Min = 2, Max = 22):

If you have entered an invalid value, the Method displays the following information and aborts:

Illegal value <value> for number of pairs of variates, please try again.
Method aborting...

If the input is valid, the Method goes into a loop and prompts you to enter the setpoint value (X-value)
and the desired valve position accordingly for a specific entry. The engineering unit is percent. Index
numbering starts with 0 and increments until the entered value minus 1 is reached. The Method
expects monotonically increasing sampling values.

Enter X-value for index <0..21> (0.00 to 100.00):

Enter Y-value for index <0..21> (0.00 to 100.00):

If an input is invalid, you have to start all over again. The Method informs you about it and aborts:

Invalid value <value>; has to be within 0.00 and 100.00%.

Please start again with entering a characteristic curve.
Method aborting...

If the last expected entry is entered, the Method displays the whole table and asks for confirmation
(X- and Y-values to exemplify only, desired number of sampling points in this example is 10):

This is the truth table, which will be stored in the device:

(3) Cancel

If you select <Yes>, the values will be written to the device. If no transmission error occurs or
additional checks in the device will not fail, the custom specific characteristic is downloaded
successfully and the Method is completed.

Custom specific characterization is written.

If an error occurs, the Method will terminate with one of the following messages:

Characteristic curve not initialized. Please try again.

Entered value pairs are not monotonously increasing – please try again.

Number of pair of variates and entered value pairs do not match. Too many values – please try again.

If you select <No> or <Cancel>, none of the entered values will be written to the device. The
characteristic already remaining will be activated and the Method is completed.

You have cancelled downloading a new custom characteristic. The characterization, which was
already stored in the device, is active.

4.3 Setting Control Parameters

In case of non-satisfactory results of the Autostart function you can change control parameters in the
Analog Output and Transducer Block. Prior to changing some of these values please check the
following:

Is increasing / decreasing travel rate within expected range? Check ACT_STROKE_TIME_DEC

and ACT_STROKE_TIME_INC parameter of AO Transducer Block. If it is too slow, check
mechanics of actuator and valve. Is air capacity too low? Would it be better to mount an additional
booster?

Is there sufficient supply pressure? Read SENSOR1_VALUE of Analog Output Block, if internal
pressure sensors are available.

When there is no error in mechanics you can try to change the control behavior by changing the
values of the following parameters:

Analog Output Block Parameters

SP_RATE_UP ramp rate for upward setpoint changes in PV units per second
(0 = use setpoint immediately with no ramp delay).

SP_RATE_DOWN ramp rate for upward setpoint changes in PV units per second
(0 = use setpoint immediately with no ramp delay).

AO Transducer Parameter

SERVO_GAIN Enter the desired proportional gain value for valve opening direction.

SERVO_RESET Enter the desired integral value for valve opening direction.
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 135
SERVO_RATE Enter the desired differential value for valve opening direction.

SERVO_GAIN2 Enter the desired proportional gain value for valve closing direction.

SERVO_RESET2 Enter the desired integral value for valve closing direction.

SERVO_RATE2 Enter the desired differential value for valve closing direction.

CONTROL_GAP Control gap defines the sensitivity of the positioner so that no corrective action
is taken if the control difference is less than the defined limit.

TRAV_INC_LIM Choose a value in seconds for a desired minimum T63 percent time limit for
increasing full span travel (0 = no delay).

TRAV_DEC_LIM Choose a value in seconds for a desired minimum T63 percent time limit for
decreasing full span travel (0 = no delay).

4.4 Test Settings

If you want to use the positioners local keys you can select menu 8 (Setpoint) and step through
setpoint changes in 1 % or 12.5 % increments/decrements.

When using a Fieldbus Configurator like NI-FBUS-Configurator System you should follow the
instructions below:

Verify that the value of the Analog Output Block parameter CHANNEL is 1. Writing to this
parameter is only allowed if Analog Output Block target mode is in Block mode OUT OF SERVICE.

Set Analog Output Block Parameter SP_RATE_UP and SP_RATE_DOWN to zero, if the setpoint
should be used immediately with no delay.

Switch Resource Block Mode parameter to AUTO.

Switch Analog Output Block Mode to AUTO.

Switch AO Transducer Block Mode to AUTO.

Set the Analog Output parameter Setpoint (SP) to the desired values.

If the step response is not as expected during observation, the control parameters can be adapted
manually. Please refer to the Control Parameters section 4.3 for details.
136 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

4.5 Setting Travel Limits

The SRD991 provides the following parameters in the AO Transducer block to set travel limits:

FINAL_VALUE_RANGE There are two data elements in this data structure to enter
travel limits in percent of total stroke. The value in
EU AT 100% determines the upper travel stop and the value
in EU AT 0% determines the lower travel stop.

FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_HI If FINAL_VALUE is more positive than this value, the valve is

forced to is set maximum high value (fully opened)

FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_LO If FINAL_VALUE is more negative than this value, the valve is

forced to is set minimum low value (fully closed)

CUTOFF_HYSTERESIS Enter the amount of hysteresis in percent of travel required

above the cutoff low value and below the cutoff high value
respectively, before the valve can re-open or re-close again.
For example: 2% cutoff low with 0.5% cutoff hysteresis allows
the valve to reopen at 2.5%.

VALVE_UPPER_LIMIT Works just like a mechanical stop. This parameter defines the
upper stop.

VALVE_LOWER_LIMIT Works just like a mechanical stop. This parameter defines the
lower stop.

As well it is possible to limit the value of the setpoint parameter SP using the Analog Output Block
parameter SP_HI_LIM and SP_LO_LIM.

4.6 Diagnostic Options

The SRD991/SRD960 has several built-in diagnostic capabilities to inform the user about current and
historical error conditions. They are summarized in 6 diagnostic Bytes and mapped to BLOCK_ERR
status in Resource Block, Analog Output Block or Transducer Blocks and Alarm Sub-codes in
Transducer Block parameter XD_ERROR. When XD_ERROR is set, the Transducer Block
BLOCK_ERR status will be set to OTHER. The diagnostic status information is available by reading
the Resource Block parameter DIAGNOSIS. A description of all status bits can be found in chapter
3.10.

BLOCK_ERR is a bitstring parameter defined by FF. Error conditions will be reflected (0=inactive,
1=active) in the bitstring as follows:

Table 25: BLOCK_ERR codes

4.7 Using Diagnostic Methods
The Resource Block provides a set of methods to inform the user about the evaluation of the valve
health, operation and configuration. The onboard functionality and memory automatically retrieves and
stores all important valve data collected by the positioner during the operation. This feature enables
the software to run on demand. In result it mustn’t run continuously on the control system and
therefore can reduce unnecessary traffic on the communication signal.

The following Resource block methods are available:

Restart_Options
DD_Info
Diag_Overview
Diag_Process
Diag_Hardware
Diag_Calibration
Diag_Pos_Alms
Diag_Service_Mngt
Diag_Pos_Hist
Diag_Rsp_Hist
Diag_Load_Factor
Diag_Load_Factor_Hist
Diag_Rst_Valve_Diag

The following chapters explain these methods and show examples.

4.8 Configure Binary Input Option

The Binary Input option features two independent binary inputs with internal supply for connection of
sensors. A connected switch is loaded with 3.5 V and 0.15 mA.

If the binary input option board is installed by the manufacturer, the Resource Block Parameter
DEVICE_OPTIONS is set to the correct value. If a binary input option will be installed after shipping,
you have to check the value of DEVICE_OPTIONS and activate this option by setting the matching Bit
in this parameter.

Using the AO Transducer Block parameter BININ_CONF, you can configure an active signal to
activate an alarm status and force the actuator to go to 0% or 100% or hold last value.

If binary input 1 is set, the read value will be 129 (In1 act | Setp forced). If binary input 2 is set, the
read value will be 130 (In2 act | Setp forced). If binary inputs 1 and 2 are set, the read value will be
131 (In1 act | In2 act | Setp forced).

4.9 Configure Binary Output Option

The Binary Output option enables you to define which alarm status activates the binary outputs.

There are two independent binary output channels available, when a binary output option board is
connected to the main electronics. Please refer to Master Instruction MI EVE0105 A-(en) for further
details of how to connect electrically.

If the binary output option board is installed by the manufacturer, the Resource Block Parameter
DEVICE_OPTIONS is set to the correct value. If a binary output option will be installed after shipping,
you have to check the value of DEVICE_OPTIONS and activate this option by setting the matching Bit
in this parameter.

4.10 Calibrate Analog Feedback Option Board

Analog feedback option boards are calibrated ex factory. But it is possible to re-calibrate it. Pre-
condition for doing it is to open the electric circuit and connect an ampere measuring instrument with a
working range of 20 mA into the loop.

There is one parameter in the AO Transducer called CAL_ANALOG_FEEDBACK, which provides

necessary calibration commands. The following set of commands is available:

Table 31: Calibration commands/status for analog feedback option

Command Command Device description text Meaning

value value
(decimal) (hexadecimal)

000 0x00 Normal operation (RD) Writing ZERO aborts an already started
or Cancel (WR) calibration cycle. The device will use the
previous calibration data set. Reading a
ZERO value means, that calibration is
completed and the feedback channel
returned to normal operation.

004 0x04 Inc out + Increments output value in coarse steps

005 0x05 Inc out ++ Increments output value in fine steps

006 0x06 Dec out - Decrements output value in fine steps

007 0x07 Dec out -- Decrements output value in coarse

steps

016 0x10 Start Cal 4 mA Initiate calibration cycle for the 4 mA

value.

024 0x18 Start Cal 20 mA Initiate calibration cycle for the 20 mA

value.

064 0x40 Choose Save+OK to No command. This value is readable

complete Cal or inc/dec only. It shows that a calibration cycle
to adjust has been started and not saved. This is
a normal condition after writing a ―Start
Cal‖ command. The device is waiting for
an increment or decrement command or
Save+OK or Cancel.

128 0x80 Save+OK Save current calibration values and

switch back to normal operation

A typical calibration command sequence looks like this:

Read CAL_ANALOG_FEEDBACK. Read value is ZERO.

Write ―Start Cal 4 mA‖ command to CAL_ANALOG_FEEDBACK.

Wait until device returns status 0x40 in parameter CAL_ANALOG_FEEDBACK.

154 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
Use Inc or Dec commands to adjust the output value to 4 mA, while an ampere measuring
instrument is connected into the loop. Between each write wait until device returns status 0x40
to be sure that the command is accepted.

After 4 mA adjustment write ―Start Cal 20 mA‖ command to CAL_ANALOG_FEEDBACK.

Wait until device returns status 0x40.

Use Inc or Dec commands to adjust the output value to 20 mA, while an ampere measuring
instrument is connected into the loop. Between each write wait until device returns status 0x40
to be sure that the command is accepted.

After 20 mA adjustment write ―Save+OK‖ command to CAL_ANALOG_FEEDBACK. If a read

access to the same parameter returns ZERO, the calibration cycle is successfully completed.

Writing a ―Cancel‖ command to CAL_ANALOG_FEEDBACK aborts an already started calibration

cycle at any time and the device uses the previously stored calibration data and returns to normal
operation mode.

4.11 Configure Pressure Sensors

The SRD991 can be ordered with two built-in pressure sensors, SRD960 is available with three built-in
pressure sensors. Because they are part of the main board, the electronics has to be exchanged for
conversion to this option. Refer to Master Instruction MI EVE0105 A-(en) for details.

The pressure sensor option is installed and calibrated by the manufacturer; therefore the Resource
Block Parameter DEVICE_OPTIONS is set to the correct value.

No additional configuration is needed. The user can choose the engineering unit for displaying the
actual measured sensor values. The values of AO Transducer Block parameter SENSOR1_VALUE
(supply pressure) or SENSOR2_VALUE (output pressure Y1) will be shown in the engineering unit set
in AO Transducer Block parameter SENSOR1_UNITS and SENSOR2_UNITS. SENSOR3_VALUE
and SENSOR3_UNITS are valid for SRD960 only.

4.12 Setting Fault State Parameters

The following AO function block parameters determine the behavior of the device for fault state in
Block Mode Cascade:

FSTATE_TIME, FSTATE_VALUE and IO_OPTS.

FSTATE_TIME contains the time in seconds from detection of remote setpoint fault to output action if
this condition still exists.

FSTATE_VALUE contains the preset analog setpoint value to use when fault occurs.

IO_OPTS offers the user several opportunities to configure the device in case of fault state condition
or restart with FSTATE_VAL. Please refer to chapter 3.13 for details.
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 155

4.13 Restart the Device

Fieldbus offers several levels of Restart functions, which can be initiated by choosing the desired
function in the Resource Block Parameter RESTART.

Restart Resource: Performing a Restart Resource has no effect on the SRD991/SRD960.

Restart Processor: Performing a Restart Processor has the same effect as hitting the reset button
on the device or power-cycle the device.

Restart with Defaults: Performing a Restart with Defaults will reset all configurable function block
application objects to their initialized state. It will also clear all configured Trend and Link Objects.
A restart of the processor will be performed automatically after re-initialization has been done.

CAUTION - When you do a ―Defaults‖ RESTART command in the Resource Block,

the configured parameters will automatically default to the values predetermined by
the FOUNDATION, which are NOT the same as the factory defaults. The Defaults RESTART
should only be used when the configuration in the valve positioner has been incorrect and
the user cannot fix the problem by using the troubleshooting information. In all cases, try
cycling the power to the valve positioner first. Then go back to the block with the problem
and try to write the changes to the valve positioner. If that does not clear the problem,
proceed with the Default RESTART procedure.

If you want to run a Restart with Factory Defaults, you can use the local keys on the device.
Select Menu 9 (Calibrate functions for workshop) and choose entry 1 (resetting of
configuration to ―ex-factory‖). If in doubt how to use the local keys, please refer to Master
Instruction MI EVE0105 D-(en).

If you use National Instruments NIFBUS-Configurator System you can access RESTART in the
following way:

Open the Resource Block and put it in the OOS mode.

In the Process tab, make sure the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL reads OOS.

In the Options tab, open the RESTART box and select one of the following:
Un-initialized – do not use.
Run – this is the default setting, the nominal state when not restarting.
Resource – do not use. This selection has no effect on the positioner.
Defaults – Sets the parameters to the FOUNDATION defaults. This will reset all
configurable function block application objects. It will also clear all configured Trend
and Link Objects. Network and system management data are not changed.
Processor – does a warm restart of CPU and has the same effect as cycling the
power (OFF/ON) to the positioner.
Restart_fact_config – Sets configuration data to factory defaults and restarts the
device automatically
Restart_fact_cal_1 – Sets configuration and calibration data to factory defaults for a
single-acting system and restart restarts the device automatically
Restart_fact_cal_2 – Sets configuration and calibration data to factory defaults for a
double-acting system and restarts the device automatically
156 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

 Click on the Write Changes button.

 Put the Resource Block back into AUTO mode (the RESTART selection will automatically default
to the Run position).

 If you performed a "Defaults" or ―fact_config‖ or ―fact_cal‖ RESTART, reconfigure the appropriate

function blocks, link object and trends.

Note: There is a Restart function in the National configuration software and it is the
equivalent to a Processor Restart mentioned above.

4.14 Maintenance and Trouble-shooting

Maintaining and trouble-shooting information provides Master Instruction MI EVE0105 A-(en).

Additional descriptions can be found about diagnostic functions in chapter 3.10, fieldbus
communication status in chapter 3.11 and 3.25, alarming in chapter 4.6 and diagnostic methods in

5 CONFIGURATION PROCEDURE USING A FIELDBUS HOST

Note: These instructions assume the following:

a) You are using the National Instruments Fieldbus Configurator System Software (NI-FBUS).

b) You are familiar with the NI software and have loaded the DD’s.

c) The NI-FBUS software is running ―Online‖ and connected to a functional valve positioner.

d) If you cannot find any parameter in the tab mentioned, do a right mouse click anywhere on the
block window and select ―Customize Parameters‖. Check the box for the parameter you need.
When you click again on the window, that parameter will be added to that window. When you
go to close out that window, you will be prompted to save your customization. Click on Yes.

e) The following procedure covers 98% of all typical installations. For complex or advanced
situations, the user will have to reconfigure other parameters for their application.

f) The FoxCAE Configurator in a Foxboro I/A Series System is similar to the National
Configurator software. If you are attaching the valve positioner to an I/A System, please refer
to B0400FD for specific details on parameter configuration limitations.

1. The valve position must be completely mounted to the valve. Also, the air supply and power
from the fieldbus power supply must be activated. Connect the fieldbus wiring to the OUTPUT
terminals. The valve positioner is polarity independent, so it cannot be wired backwards (no
plus/minus labels). Refer to MI EVE0105 D for instructions.

2. The factory default for the DEV_TAG parameter has been factory defaulted to a unique value,
such as ―SRD991-16/010020‖. The user may reconfigure this tag, but it must be unique.
Right click on the Device and select Set Tag. Type in a new tag name/number. Make sure
the Set to OOS block is checked. Click on OK.

3. The factory default for the DEV_ADD (Device Address) parameter has been factory defaulted
to a number, such as ―32(0x20)‖. The user may reconfigure this address, but it must be a
unique value. Right click on the Device and select Set Address. Use the up and down arrows
to select a new address or type in a unique value. Make sure the Set to OOS block is
checked. Click on OK.

CAUTION – The DEV_ADD address of multiple valve positioners from

Foxboro and or other devices from other manufacturers can be identical.
Care must be taken to make sure the address is not duplicated in another
Fieldbus device on the same wiring segment.

4. If you do not see the Transducer block on the NI-FBUS screen, click on the Show/Hide
Transducers & Device ID’s icon on the menu bar. The icon has a capital letter T with a red X.
The factory default for the BLOCK_TAG parameter in the Transducer Block has been
assigned a unique value, such as ―SRD991_TAO-16/010020‖. The user may reconfigure this
tag, but it must be unique. Right click on the Transducer Block and select Set Tag. Type in a
new name/number. Make sure the Set to OOS block is checked. Click on OK.
158 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

5. The factory default for the BLOCK_TAG parameter in the Resource Block has been assigned
a unique device ID, such as ―SRD991_RES-16/010020‖. The user may reconfigure this tag,
but it must be unique. Right click on the Resource Block and select Set Tag. Type in a new
name/number. Make sure the Set to OOS block is checked. Click on OK.

6. The factory default for the BLOCK_TAG parameter in the Analog Output Block has been
assigned a unique tag, such as ―SRD991_AO-16/010020‖. The user may reconfigure this tag,
but it must be unique. Right click on the AO block and select Set Tag. Type in a new tag
identification. Make sure the Set to OOS block is checked. Click on OK.

7. Open the Resource Block . Click on the OOS box to put the block Out Of
Service. Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads OOS.

8. Open the AO Transducer Block. Click on the OOS box to put the block
Out Of Service. Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value
reads OOS.

9. In the Others Tab, make sure the ACT_TYPE parameter is set to the proper type of actuator
on the valve. From the drop down box, set to single-acting or double-acting. Factory default
depends on the ordered pneumatic amplifier type of the device.

10. Review the POSITION_LINEARIZATION parameter. It should be set as follows:

Actuator Type POSITION_LINEARIZATION (See Note)

Linear (sliding stem or stroke) stroke left mounted (factory default)

or

stroke right mounted

Rotary rotary opening counterclockwise

or

rotary opening clockwise

Note: Identified while viewing the front face of the positioner.

11. The TRAVEL_POS_UNITS should be set based upon the POSITION_LINEARIZATION

parameter. If set to Stroke, the TRAVEL_POS_UNITS should be set to either mm or inch. If
set to rotary, the TRAVEL_POS_UNITS should be set to degree. Although this parameter
does not need to be configured for proper operation, it is used by many other parameters,
especially in regards to diagnostics. Therefore, we strongly recommend it is configured
properly.

12. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner.

13. The valve positioner is now ready to perform an AUTOSTART. The AUTOSTART procedure
will automatically set 13 different parameters, by stroking the valve numerous times from 0 to
100% of travel. Select an ―Autostart‖ type from the drop down box in the SELF_CALIB_CMD
parameter.
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 159

CAUTION: The AUTOSTART opens and closes the valve and will override the
existing setpoint. Do not initiate an AUTOSTART with the valve holding process
pressure or fluid. The AUTOSTART procedure may take several minutes to
complete.

14. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the AO Transducer Block page, which will
initiate the AUTOSTART procedure. Directly under the SELF_CALIB_CMD parameter is a
read-only parameter called STAT_AUTOINIT. Once the value of STAT_AUTOINIT returns to
zero (0), the Autostart is completed. If the value of STAT_AUTOINIT displays a value of 1,
there was an error during the procedure. Refer to MI EVE0105D for information on
troubleshooting. Fix the problem. Do another Autostart.

The AUTOSTART automatically sets the values for the following parameters:

Parameter Name Block Tab

ACT_STROKE_TIME_INC (Read-Only Parameter) Transducer Other

ACT_STROKE_TIME_DEC (Read-Only Parameter) Transducer Other

ADC_GAIN (Do NOT change) Transducer Other

MOTOR_PAR (Do NOT change) Transducer Other

SPRING_ACT Transducer Other

SERVO_GAIN Transducer Other

SERVO_GAIN2 Transducer Other

SERVO_RATE Transducer Other

SERVO_RATE2 Transducer Other

SERVO_RESET Transducer Other

SERVO_RESET2 Transducer Other

STAT_AUTOINIT Transducer Other

Note: A Short Autostart (Examine Endpoints) should be used when a diagnostic error is
displayed,
or if the actuator/valve/positioner was mechanically disconnected for adjustments,
or replacement after an Autostart had been performed.

15. The FINAL_VALUE_RANGE sub-parameters are factory defaulted to:

EU_100 100
EU_0 0
UNITS_INDEX % (Do NOT change)
DECIMAL 1
160 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

These parameters are normally left at the factory defaults, unless there is a reason why you
do not want the valve to fully open or fully close. For example, if the valve was attached to the
suction side of a compressor, you can configure the EU_0 to a value such as 10. This would
not allow the positioner to close the valve any less than 10 percent of its total travel, thereby
protecting the compressor

16. The FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_LO is factory defaulted to 2 (percent). If the FINAL_VALUE

(requested valve position) is lower than the value in this parameter, the valve is forced to its
minimum low value (fully closed). This is similar to the low flow cutoff in a flow transmitter. If
this parameter were set to 5, then whenever the set point to the positioner was less than 5
percent, the valve would be forced fully closed.

17. The FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_HI is factory defaulted to 100 (percent). If the FINAL_VALUE

(requested valve position) is higher than the value in this parameter, the valve is forced to its
maximum high value (fully open).

18. The CUTOFF_HYSTERESIS is used in conjunction with the FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF

parameters in the previous steps. Increasing the value will increase the hysteresis. For
example, if the FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_LO parameter were set to 10%, then the valve
would be completely closed for any input that was below 10% of scale. If the
CUTOFF_HYSTERESIS were set to 1%, then the set point input would have to be 11% to
start opening the valve. The factory default is 0.005%.

19. The LINEARIZATION_TYPE parameter is used for characterizing the setpoint. The default is
linear, with additional choice of Equal Percentage (1:50), Quick Open or Customer Specific.

20. The CONTROL_DIFF_TIME value (default = 60 seconds) is used by the

CONTROL_DIFF_LIMIT parameter in the next step.

21. The CONTROL_DIFF_LIMIT parameter is defaulted to 5%. If the control difference (set point
vs. valve position) is greater than this value in percent, for the period of time entered into the
CONTROL_DIFF_TIME parameter, the CONTROL_DIFF_LIMIT status will be set in the
DIAGNOSIS parameter. For example, using the default settings, if the control difference
exceeds 5% for more than 60 seconds, a status bit will be set in the DIAGNOSIS parameter in
the Others tab of the Resource Block.

22. The TRAVEL_SPAN parameter must be set to the stroke of the actuator (in mm or inches for
linear). If the POSITION_LINEARIZATION parameter is set for rotary, the TRAVEL_SPAN
must be set to Degrees.

23. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner.

24. Set the Target Mode in the AO Transducer block to Auto. Make sure that in the
Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads Auto. If the block does not change to
Auto, go to the Troubleshooting section. Fix problem and close the Transducer Block window.

25. Open Analog Output Block and click on the OOS box to put the valve positioner
Out Of Service. Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value
reads OOS. Ignore this step if the ACTUAL mode reads OOS.

26. In the Process tab, make sure the CHANNEL parameter is set to 1.

27. In the Scaling tab, set the XD_SCALE parameters to the same values used in the
FINAL_VALUE_RANGE parameters in the AO Transducer Block. The factory default values
are
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 161
EU_100 100
EU_0 0
UNITS_INDEX %
DECIMAL 1

28. The factory default values for the PV_SCALE parameters are:

EU_100 100
EU_0 0
UNITS_INDEX %
DECIMAL 1

These values should NOT be changed.

29. In the Limits tab, the SP_RATE_UP (default = 1.#INF) and the SP_RATE_DOWN (default =
1.#INF) determine the ramp rates for setpoint changes in PV units per second when the AO
block is in Auto mode. If these parameters are set to zero, or the AO block is in a mode other
than Auto, the setpoint change will be used immediately. These parameters affect the ramp
rate in both testing and normal operation.

30. The SP_LO_LIM (default = 0) determines the lowest setpoint (SP, CAS_IN or RCAS_IN) that
can be used by the block. Please note that the FINAL_VALUE_RANGE EU_0 parameter set
in step #15 limits the minimum setpoint value during normal operation.

31. The SP_HI_LIM (default = 100) determines the highest setpoint (SP, CAS_IN or RCAS_IN)
that can be used by the block. Please note that the FINAL_VALUE_RANGE EU_100
parameter set in step #15 limits the maximum setpoint value during normal operation.

32. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner. Now click on the AUTO button. The MODE_BLK • ACTUAL in the Process
tab should change to Auto, and the OUT value on the Process tab should display a good
value.

If the OUT value is not correct you may have to schedule the device with your
configurator software as follows:

 Double click on the Function Block Application to open a new window

 Drag the AO block to the middle window. You can now configure the outputs
of the AO blocks and assign them if necessary.

 Click on the Download Project icon and answer questions.

 Check the OUT value of the AO blocks. If good, basic configuration

completed.

If the block does not change to Auto, go to the BLOCK_ERR parameter in the
Diagnostics tab to see what is wrong. An explanation of the BLOCK_ERR is
described in the Troubleshooting section. Fix problem and make sure that in the
Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads Auto. Close out the
"configured" Analog Output Block window.
33. The basic configuration of the positioner is now complete. The valve response to an input
setpoint change should be tested at this time. Valve response can be observed by
changing the SP_VALUE parameter in the Process tab of the Analog Output block. Refer to
section 4.4 for details.

34. Please go to the next section to review or change the ―Optional Parameters‖ which in most
applications do not need to be re-configured from the factory default. Some parameters are
162 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
used for customizing the application in regards to testing, alarms, failsafe actions, normal
behavior and other such functions. Other parameters are only used for storing information
and the data is not checked or processed by any of the blocks.

Note: After reviewing the “Optional Parameters” section, proceed with the
“Optional Features” section if the actuator is equipped with any optional
features.

5.1 Optional Parameter Configuration

35. Open the AO Transducer Block, Resource Block and Analog Output block and click on the
OOS box to put the blocks Out Of Service. Make sure that in the Process tab that the
MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads OOS.

36. In the Diagnostic or Process tab of the AO Transducer Block, Resource Block and Analog
Output block, the factory default for the MODE_BLK • NORMAL parameter is Auto. If for
some reason you want the valve positioner to start in the Out Of Service mode, or other
selection when power is first applied, set the parameters in all three blocks to the desired
action.

37. In the Options tab of the AO Transducer Block, Resource Block and Analog Output block, the
ALERT_KEY parameter (default = 0) can be set to any number between 1 and 255 to be used
by the host system as an identification number for sorting alarms, etc.

38. In the Options tab of the AO Transducer Block, Resource Block and Analog Output block, the
STRATEGY parameter (default = 0) can be set to a number between 0 and 32767 for
identifying grouping of blocks.

39. In the Others tab of the Resource block, review the ALARM_SUM • DISABLED parameter.
There are a wide variety of selections in the drop down box, such as Disc Alm Disabled, HiHi
Alm Disabled, etc. The factory default is that all alarms will have a check mark, which
disables all "Fieldbus Alarms". If the host control system supports Fieldbus Alarms, remove
the check marks to the appropriate alarms to make them active, and the set the appropriate
alarm limits. The "Fieldbus Alarms" are different, and they have no effect on the alarming and
diagnostic capabilities built into the positioner and mentioned in this configuration procedure.

40. In the Process tab of the AO Transducer Block, Resource Block and Analog Output block, the
parameter TAG_DESC can be used for identification of the application. For example – ―Valve
for Controlling Drum #2 Level‖. Type in the information desired.

41. Open the AO Transducer Block. In the Other tab, there are some
parameters to identify the actuator and the valve. Review or change any information in the
following parameters:

ACT_MAN_ID, ACT_MODEL_NUM, ACT_SN

VALVE_MAN_ID, VALVE_MODEL_NUM, VALVE_SN
VALVE_TYPE

42. There are 3 parameters that can be filled out in regards to the calibration of the positioner.
The XD_CAL_WHO parameter can be filled in with the name of the person who did the last
calibration (i.e. John Smith, etc). The XD_CAL_LOC parameter can be used to identify the
location of the last calibration. The XD_CAL_DATE can signify the date of the last calibration.
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 163
43. The TRAVEL_DEC_LIM parameter represents the fastest one time constant response
(63.2%) for a decreasing full span travel and is factory defaulted at 0.4 seconds. You can set
this to zero for a very fast responding actuator. Or you could increase the value to make the
response slower. This parameter may be changed if the valve testing in step #34 was
unsatisfactory (refer to section 4.4 for details).

44. The TRAVEL_INC_LIM parameter represents the fastest one time constant response (63.2%)
for an increasing full span travel and is factory defaulted at 0.4 seconds. You can set this to
zero for a very fast responding actuator. Or you could increase the value to make the
response slower. . This parameter may be changed if the valve testing in step #34 was
unsatisfactory (refer to section 4.4 for details).

45. The CYCLE_COUNT_LIMIT is defaulted to 90 million. If the valve manufacturer publishes a

suggested maintenance interval based upon a cycle value, use that value. When the actual
value of the cycle counter has reached 95% of the configured CYCLE_COUNT_LIMIT, the
AO-Block BLOCK_ERR parameter will be set to ―Device needs maintenance soon‖. When the
actual cycle count exceeds this value, a status bit (CYCLECNT_LIM) will be set in the
DIAGNOSIS parameter.

46. The TRAVEL_SUM_DEADBAND parameter (default = 1%) is used to eliminate very small
movements of the valve (hunting) from the summarized travel value. With the default of 1%,
any valve movement less than 1% of the total stroke will not be counted in the summarized
travel value.

47. The TRAVEL_SUM_LIMIT is defaulted to 90 million. If the valve manufacturer publishes a

suggested maintenance interval based upon totalized stem travel, use that value. When the
actual value of the cycle counter has reached 95% of the configured TRAVEL_SUM_LIMIT,
the AO-Block BLOCK_ERR parameter will be set to ―Device needs maintenance soon‖. When
the actual travel exceeds this value, the TRAVEL_SUM_LIMIT status bit will be set in the
DIAGNOSIS parameter in the Others tab of the Resource Block.

48. The ACT_FAIL_ACTION parameter can be configured based upon the failsafe action for the
actuator. This parameter is for information only and has no effect on the positioner or actuator
during any fault or failure. The choices are:

Self-closing
Self-opening
Hold on last good value
Maximum value
Minimum value
Uninitialized (Fieldbus default – do not use)
Indeterminate (Factory Default)

49. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner. Now click on the AUTO button. The MODE_BLK • ACTUAL in the Process
tab should change to Auto. Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK •
ACTUAL value reads Auto. If the block does not change to Auto, go to the Troubleshooting
section. Fix problem and close the AO Transducer Block window.
50. Open the Resource Block . In the others tab, you can enter up to 32 characters in
the MESSAGE parameters (MESSAGE_1 to MESSAGE_5). These messages are just for
information purposes only, and are not used in a diagnostic message.

51. In the Alarms tab, the CONFIRM_TIME parameter (default = 640000 millisecond) is the
amount of time the resource will wait for confirmation of receipt of a report before trying again.
164 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)
52. In the Others tab, the CYCLE_SEL parameter (default = Scheduled and Block Execution)
selects the block execution method. Add or remove a check mark to the applicable selections
of Scheduled, Block Execution and/or Manuf Specific.

53. The FEATURES_SEL parameter allows the user to chose what resource block options are
used. The defaults are Reports, Faultstate, Soft W Lock and Out Readback. Add or remove a
check mark to the applicable selections.

54. The LOCAL_OP_ENA parameter can be set to prevent anyone from reconfiguring the
positioner database using the local keys on the positioner. The default is local operation
enabled. Select local operation disabled if you want to disable the local keys.

55. The WRITE_LOCK parameter can be set to prevent anyone from reconfiguring the positioner
database using the local keys on the positioner and from any remote configurator. The default
is unlocked which allows full reconfiguration capability from any and all configurators. If the
value is set to locked, the only command the device will accept is to unlock that parameter. If
the WRITE_LOCK parameter is set to Locked, an alert will be generated when the parameter
is changed back to unlocked.

56. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner. Now click on the AUTO button. The MODE_BLK • ACTUAL in the Process
tab should change to Auto. If the block does not change to Auto, go to the Troubleshooting
section and fix problem.

57. In the Others tab, there are four parameters that determine what valve position will set a
status bit in the DIAGNOSIS parameter in the Others tab of the Resource Block. The four
parameters, the allowable range and the factory defaults are:

Parameter Allowable Range Factory Default

POS_VALVE_LOLO_ALARM +INF -10

POS_VALVE_LO_ALARM +INF -10

POS_VALVE_HI_ALARM +INF 110

POS_VALVE_HIHI_ALARM +INF 110

58. With the factory defaults set beyond the valve position limits (FINAL_VALUE_RANGE), this
will result in NO error messages about the valve position status in the DIAGNOSIS parameter
in the Resource Block.

59. Mark in the appropriate box. Refer to Chapter 3.14 for a description of the options. The
factory default is no check marks. Close the Resource Block window.
60. Open the Analog Output Block . Click on the OOS box to put the block Out Of
Service. Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads OOS.
Ignore this step if the ACTUAL mode reads OOS.

61. The IO_OPTS parameter allows options to alter the input and output block processing. Refer
to Chapter 3.13 for details. The factory default is there are NO checkmarks. Note - only one
option is currently defined by the FOUNDATION for an Analog Output block, and that is
Propagate Fault Backwards.

have optional feature(s), skip the next step and proceed to the Optional Features
Configuration section below.

64. If necessary, adjust the execution times of the primary Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The valve
positioner can be used as the primary or back-up LAS for the wiring segment. Also, define the
links between the blocks on the wiring segment. Refer to the host configurator software for
details. Configuration is completed, unless there are ―Optional Features‖ included in the
positioner.

5.2 Optional Features Configuration

The “Optional Features Configuration” must be completed if the actuator is equipped

with any of the following options:

Inductive Limit Switch (Note 1)

Two Pressure Sensors (Note 2)

Position Feedback 4-20 mA and One Binary Alarm Output (Note 3)

Two Binary Inputs (Note 3)

Two Binary Outputs (Note 3)

Notes:

1) The inductive limit switch option is external to the positioner and has no effect on
configuration parameters and does not limit the amount of other options internal to
the positioner.

2) The Two Pressure Sensor option is available with or without any of the other
options.

3) Only one of these options per positioner (only the Binary Inputs, or only the Binary
Outputs or only the Pos Feedback).
166 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

5.2.1 Position Feedback 4-20 mA and Alarm

The position feedback option regulates a 4 to 20 mA signal on a separate pair of wires for use
as an input to another device. User must provide separate power to the pair of wires between
8 and 48 V (lower power for hazardous areas). The 0 and 100% value positions (stroke of
valve) will generate a linear 4 to 20 mA signal.

In addition to the 4 to 20 mA signal, this option also includes one binary output channel for
external alarming over another pair of wires. When the positioner activates certain error
messages in the DIAGNOSIS parameter and the corresponding values in AO Transducer
parameter ALARM_LINK are set, the binary output channel will also be activated. Refer to the
Binary Output section for configuration.

65. Open the Resource Block . Click on the OOS box to put the block Out Of Service.
Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads OOS.

66. In the Others tab, the DEVICE_OPTIONS parameter has a drop down box listing the following
choices:

 pos ret

 press

 binin

 binout

 sens (Do not select - reserved for future options)

Make sure there is a check mark next to the pos rets selection. Do not remove any
check marks for the other optional features.

67. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner. Now click on the AUTO button. The MODE_BLK • ACTUAL in the Process
tab should change to Auto. If the block does not change to Auto, go to the Troubleshooting
section. Fix problem and close the Resource Block window.

68. If you want to configure the one binary output, skip down to Step #74

5.2.2 Two Binary Inputs

The Binary Inputs option is used to override the valve position based upon the activation of
one or two external user-supplied switches wired separately to the positioner. When the switch
is closed, the voltage in the pair of wires will be approximately 3.5 Volts DC, and there will be
a current flow of approximately 0.15 mA. User should select correct switches for this
application. The option card supplies the power and the switches control the current flow.

72. Open the Analog Output Block . Click on the OOS box to put the block Out Of
Service. Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads OOS.

73. In the Others tab, the BININ_CONF parameter configures an active signal to force the
actuator to go to 0% or 100% and/or activate an alarm status.

This option will override the configuration of the valve and actuator parameters. Based upon
the condition of the switches, the positioner will react as follows:

Input 1 Input 2 Positioner Action BININ_CONF

Closed Closed IN SERVICE (normal operation)

Open (Active) Closed Forces Valve to 0%, if ------- check mark on

In1->0% box

Closed Open (Active) Forces Valve to 100%, if ---- check mark on

In2->100% box

Open (Active) Open (Active) Holds on Last Good Value

CAUTION: If the closing or opening limits are set by changing the FINAL_VALUE_RANGE
parameters to values above 0% or below 100%, the actuator will force the valve fully open or
closed by the action of the Binary Inputs.
168 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

Based upon the condition of the switches, an Analog Output Block alarm with sub-code
OTHER can be generated as follows:

Input 1 Input 2 Alarm Generated BININ_CONF

Closed Closed No

Open (Active) Closed Yes, if ---------- check mark on

Enb diag In1 box

74. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner. Now click on the AUTO button. The MODE_BLK • ACTUAL in the Process
tab should change to Auto. If the block does not change to Auto, go to the Troubleshooting
section. Fix problem, set block to Auto, and close the Analog Output Block
window.

5.2.3 Two Binary Outputs

There are two galvanically isolated binary output channels for external alarming over two
separate pairs of wires based on the configurable limits of the measured valve position. When
the positioner activates certain error messages in the DIAGNOSIS parameter, the binary
output channel will also be activated. This option is usually called the "solid state
programmable limit switches".

The user has to provide an external supply with 8 to 48 VDC. A current below 50 µA means
the positioner is defective, lower than 1 mA means the valve position is below the configured
limit and a current greater than 2.2 mA means the valve position is above configured limit.

You can configure these limits by configuring the Resource Block parameters

POS_VALVE_LOLO_ALARM
POS_VALVE_LO_ALARM
POS_VALVE_HIHI_ALARM
POS_VALVE_HI_ALARM

The values of BINOUT1_CONFIG and BINOUT2_CONFIG determine which one of these

limits will be responsible for activating a binary output.

75. Open the Resource Block . Click on the OOS box to put the block Out Of Service.
Make sure that in the Process tab that the MODE_BLK • ACTUAL value reads OOS.
TI EVE0105 Q3-(en) SRD991/SRD960 169

79. In the Others tab, the BINOUT1_CONFIG and BINOUT2_CONFIG parameters have a drop
down box with the following choices:

 hi alarm

 lo alarm

 hihi alarm
 lolo alarm
 inverted alarm

Select one choice of alarming for each parameter (BINOUT1_CONFIG and

BINOUT2_CONFIG) as follows:

Selecting hi alarm in BINOUT1_CONFIG means that the value of

POS_VALVE_HI_ALARM (first warning) is the configured limit for binary output1.

Selecting hihi alarm in BINOUT1_CONFIG means that the value of

POS_VALVE_HI_HI_ALARM (main alarm) is the configured limit for binary output1.

Selecting lo alarm in BINOUT1_CONFIG means that the value of

POS_VALVE_LO_ALARM (first warning) is the configured limit for binary output1.

Selecting lolo alarm in BINOUT1_CONFIG means that the value of

POS_VALVE_LO_LO_ALARM (main alarm) is the configured limit for binary output1.
170 SRD991/SRD960 TI EVE0105 Q3-(en)

The option inverted alarm switches the active signal (i.e. valve position above
configured limits will lead to a current lower than 1 mA, valve position below limit will
lead to a current above 2.2 mA).

80. Based upon the selections in the previous step, configure the appropriate
POS_VALVE_xxyy_ALARM parameter(s) located in the Resource Block to the desired limits
required to activate the binary output(s).

81. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
valve positioner. Now click on the AUTO button. The MODE_BLK • ACTUAL in the Process

86. In the Others tab, set the SENSOR1_UNITS and SENSOR2_UNITS and SENSOR3_UNITS
parameters for the EGU’s for the pressure sensors (kPa, Bar or psi). All available sensors
should be set to the same EGU to eliminate confusion. The actual pressure being measured
by the pressure sensors are displayed in the SENSOR1_VALUE and SENSOR2_VALUE and
SENSOR3_VALUE parameters. Sensor #1 is the supply pressure, Sensor #2 is output Y1
and sensor #3 is output Y2.

87. Click on the Write Changes button at the bottom of the page to download the changes to the
