2 General
2.1 DTM
The DTM – Device Type Manager – is the basis of the FDT concept. This component is provided by the
vendor of the intelligent field instruments.
The DTM 'knows' all device rules, contains the user dialogs, provides for the device configuration and
diagnostics, and generates the device-specific documentation.
Further field instruments can be added as required and at any time, since the respective DTMs can be
loaded easily.
Note that it is not possible to run several DTMs in parallel under Windows 95/98. If you are using one of
these operating systems and call up several DTMs simultaneously, the operational reliability of your op-
erating system is no longer ensured.

2.2 Installation
Insert the CD ROM disk into your CD-ROM drive.
Close all Windows95/98/2000/NT applications and click on the Windows Start button.
Choose the <Run> command from the Start pull-down menu. Type the CD-ROM drive indicator and a
colon (e.g. “D:“) and then "setup".
Click on the OK button or press the <ENTER> key to confirm your entries and start the installation.
The DTM will be installed automatically. Upon successful installation your computer has to be restarted.

7.2.1 Effective variables

7.2.1.1 Setpoint range

With this function you can define the setpoint range between 4.0 and 20mA. The setpoint range is always
scaled to the configured stroke range (0...100%) of the device.
The setpoint range factory setting is 4.0...20.0mA.
Example: Split-Range
It is possible to run two series-connected positioners on a single setpoint source by configuring the first
device for a range of 4.0...12.0mA and the second one for 12.0...20mA. Overlaps or gaps between the
setpoint ranges can be configured as required.

Note The setpoint range must not be smaller than 10% (1.6mA).

 Configure

7.2.1.2 Characteristic curve

With this function you can configure the characteristic curve for the setpoint channel. The following op-
tions can be selected:
– Linear
– Equal percentage 1:25
– Equal percentage 1:50
– Equal percentage 25:1
– Equal percentage 50:1
– User-configurable

Note Selecting a user-configurable characteristic curve is only possible if such a curve has been defined before
under "Extension“ -> "Special data“.
In factory the device is set to a linear characteristic curve.

7.2.1.3 Valve action

With this function you can define the valve action for the setpoint channel ("Direct" or "Reverse").
The factory setting is "Direct".

7.2.1.4 Tolerance band

With this function you can define the tolerance band for control.
Enter the tolerance band within the range of 0.30...10.00% in steps of 0.05 %. The tolerance band defines
a +/- range around the setpoint. When the valve position is within this range, the controlled system is
considered as balanced. If the valve is not controlled smoothly by the positioner, the tolerance band
should be increased. If the positioner does not reach the set position exactly enough, the tolerance band
should be decreased.
The tolerance band factory setting is 0.30%.

7.2.1.5 Shut-off value

With this function you can define the shut-off value.
When the setpoint reaches the shut-off value, the valve is immediately driven to the 0% stroke limit.
Enter a value between 0.0 and 20.0%.

7.2.1.6 Setpoint ramp

With this function you can define a setpoint ramp for control.
A setpoint change is not directly transferred to the controller, but with the defined time function.

Note The setpoint ramp is only active during control. The set values should always be greater than the actual
stroke times. The setpoint ramp is disabled in manual mode and when the device is moving to the safe
position.
Enter the setpoint ramps separately for each moving direction (up and down) for the entire valve stroke
within a range of 0...200 seconds. A value of 0 seconds will switch off this function. “Down” refers to a
moving direction towards the 0% stroke limit, "up" refers to a moving direction towards the 100% stroke
limit.
The setpoint ramp factory setting is 0 seconds (OFF).

7.2.1.7 Stroke time

This parameter is determined by the Autoadjust function and is then indicated as the shortest possible
stroke time over the entire valve range.

7.2.1.8 Deadband time limit

With this function you can monitor the valve stroke time in control mode.
As soon as the valve position is outside the tolerance band, it is monitored if the setpoint is reached within
the set time. Otherwise, an alarm is signalled. The respective alarm message is indicated in the "Mes-
sages" window.

42/63-24 EN DTM for TZID-C/TZID-C200, HART communication, Section 7 12

 Configure

Enter the deadband time limit to be monitored within the range of 0...200 seconds. A value of 0 seconds
will switch off this function.
If the optional module for "Digital position feedback" is present, the alarm output is enabled. The alarm
will be reset when the set position is reached.

Note Make sure that the deadband time limit is always greater than the actual stroke time.
The factory setting of the deadband time limit is 0 seconds (OFF).

7.2.2 Adjustment

7.2.2.1 Lever zero position

With this function you can assign an end position to the lever range zero positions.
This parameter defines whether the zero position of the actuator is assigned to the stops reached when
the lever shaft is turning counterclockwise or clockwise (seen from the device front).
The lever zero position is not determined by the Autoajdust function. It has to be derived from the lever
link and from the intended zero position of the valve.

7.2.2.2 Actuator spring action

With this function you can define the end position to which a single-action actuator is set by the spring.
Note Usually, this parameter is determined by the Autoadjust function with valve stops. When using the Auto-
adjust function without stops, this parameter must be set properly.
This parameter defines whether the spring moves the feedback shaft with depressurized valve chamber
to the end position when turning counterclockwise or clockwise (seen from the device front).In the case
of a double-acting actuator the spring action corresponds to pressurizing the pneumatic output Y2.
Changing the spring action may cause a sudden movement of the actuator upon data transfer to the de-
vice.
When using the Autoadjust function with control data, only, the "Actuator spring action" parameter must
be set properly.

7.2.2.3 Actuator type

With this parameter you can define the positioner for operation on a linear or rotary actuator.

7.2.2.4 Valve range limits

This parameter indicates whether the valve range was limited as compared to the actual stroke range,
such that the mechanical limit stops of the valve are no longer reached. In this case the actuator is not
fully pressurized/depressurized when reaching the high or low end position. This may be useful, espe-
cially if the valve has a tendency to swing through.

7.2.2.5 Stroke range limits

With this function you can limit the stroke range as compared to the actual valve stroke.
Enter the range between 0.0 and 100%. If the stroke range is limited, only a part of the actual mechanical
valve stroke is covered by the set point range.
The setpoint range always refers to the stroke range.
Not that any change of the stroke range changes the absolute positions of the switching points as com-
pared to the valve position.
If the stroke range is limited, (<100%) the mechanical stops of the valve are nor longer reached by fully
depressurizing or pressurizing.
The stroke range limitation is only active in control mode. In manual mode it is still possible to use the full
mechanical valve stroke. In case of a power failure and fail-safe positioning through the I/P module, the
valve is set to the mechanical end positions.
The stroke range factory setting is 0.0...100.0%.

42/63-24 EN DTM for TZID-C/TZID-C200, HART communication, Section 7 13

 Configure

Example 1:
The valve shall not close fully with minimum setpoint, to ensure a minimum flow. In this case the low
stroke range limit has to be set to the wanted minimum stroke.
Example 2:
The valve must not exceed a maximum flow, even with maximum setpoint. In this case the high stroke
range limit has to be set to the wanted maximum stroke.

7.2.2.6 Switching points

With this function you can define the switching points. When the valve position is below the low switching
point or above the high switching point, the respective message is shown in the "Display measured value"
window.
If the option module for "Digital position feedback" is present, the "Min." switching output (terminals 41,42)
is activated when the value is below the low switching point. If the high switching point is exceeded, the
"Max." switching output (terminals 51 and 52) is activated.
Enter the high or low switching point in the range between 0.0 and 100.0%. The percentage values refer
to the configured stroke range.

Note Not that any change of the stroke range changes the absolute positions of the switching points as com-
pared to the valve position. The defined deadband is used as the hysteresis range for resetting the active
switching points.
The switching point factory setting is 0% and 100%.

7.3 Inputs/outputs

7.3.1 Digital input

With this parameter you can define the function/reaction if no external 12 V DC voltage is applied.
– no function (in this case, the TZID-C or TZID-C200 positioner does not require an external 12 V DC
voltage across its digital input for proper operation).
– move to 0% position
– move to 100% position
– hold current position
– local configuration locked; local operation is still possible
– local operation is locked
– both local operation and external configuration are locked

7.3.2 Alarm messages

Here you can define which alarm messages are to be signalled and output via the digital output as a cur-
rent signal (Namur).

7.4 User-specific characteristic curve

Fig. 7-7 User-specific characteristic curve

Here you can either edit the 20 reference points of a user-defined characteristic curve or load/save a char-
acteristic curve.

7.5 Control parameters

7.5.1 KP value
With this function you can define the KP value.
Note Note that all control parameters are determined in an optimum way for most of the actuators by the Au-
toadjust function. Changes should only be made when Autoadjust cannot be executed or control stability
cannot be achieved.
To compensate for existing dissymmetries in the controlled system, the KP value is to be set separately
for both directions (up/down).
Enter a KP value in the range between 1.0 and 400,0.

Definition The KP value is a gain of the PD controller and results in a positioning signal of 100% for KP=1 and a
control deviation of 100%.
The KP value influences the controlling speed and stability. With higher KP values the controlling speed
increases.
Note that the control accuracy is not affected by the KP value!

Hints for setting For most actuators sufficient control action can be achieved with a KP value between 2.0 and 10.0.
Choosing a KP value smaller than 5.0 can, despite the go pulse, result in starting times longer than 400
milliseconds. In such a case you can shorten the starting time without impairing the stability of the control
loop by proportionally increasing the KP and TV values.
If the control loop continues to show instable behavior, even if the KP value has been decreased, a too
high offset has been chosen for the output value or other parameters are highly unbalanced.

42/63-24 EN DTM for TZID-C/TZID-C200, HART communication, Section 7 15

 Configure

7.5.2 TV value
With this function you can define the TV value.
The TV value is usually determined by the Autoadjust function and defines the derivative time of the PD
controller.
The TV value factory setting is 0.04 seconds.
Note Note that all control parameters are determined in an optimum way for most of the actuators by the Au-
toadjust function. Changes should only be made when Autoadjust cannot be executed or control stability
cannot be achieved.
To compensate for existing dissymmetries in the controlled system, the TV value is to be set separately
for both directions (up/down).
Enter the TV value within the range of 10...800 milliseconds.

Definition The TV value is the derivative time of the PD controller and results, for example, in an output signal of
100% for TV=100 ms in balanced condition, together with KP=1 for a dynamic control deviation of 100%/
100 ms.
Speed and stability are affected by the TV value in such a way that it counteracts dynamically to the KP
value. With higher TV values the controlling speed decreases.

Hints for setting For most actuators satisfactory control action is achieved with a TV value between 20 and 200 ms.
In manual configuration choose a TV value of approximately 8...10 * KP value [msec].

7.5.3 Go pulse
With this function you can define the go pulse.
Note Note that all control parameters are determined in an optimum way for most of the actuators by the Au-
toadjust function. Changes should only be made when Autoadjust cannot be executed or control stability
cannot be achieved.
To compensate for existing dissymmetries in the controlled system, the go pulse is to be set separately
for both directions (up/down).
Enter a go pulse between 0 and 200 milliseconds in steps of 20 milliseconds.

Definition The controller issues an amplified positioning signal for the defined pulse length and with the actuator not
moving, in order to achieve accelerated starting of the actuator.
In this way the time required to build the pressure needed to begin moving the actuator is reduced.
Hints for setting The value determined by Autoadjust should NOT be increased, as this may result in overshooting! If the
actuator consistently overshoots the setpoint, decrease the go pulse.
For small and fast actuators it may be necessary to set the go pulse to 0, even if Autoadjust has deter-
mined a higher value.

7.5.4 Output offset

With this function you can define the output offset.
Note Note that all control parameters are determined in an optimum way for most of the actuators by the Au-
toadjust function. Changes should only be made when Autoadjust cannot be executed or control stability
cannot be achieved.
To compensate for existing dissymmetries in the controlled system, the output offset is to be set sepa-
rately for both directions (up/down).
Enter an offset value between [minOffset] and 100%.

Definition The "offset for the output signal" linearizes the behavior of the I/P module used and enables fast control
even for small control deviations. The value is limited a the low end by a minimum value (neutral zone).
The offset substantially affects the controlling speed for control deviations smaller than 5%. In manual
mode the offset values are issued for fine adjustment to the I/P module.

42/63-24 EN DTM for TZID-C/TZID-C200, HART communication, Section 7 16

 Configure

Hints for setting For most actuators satisfactory control is achieved with offset values between 40 and 80%.
If the valve overshoots, both offset values should be decreased.
Both offset values should be increased if the actuator stops outside the tolerance band. For larger, slower
actuators Autoadjust may determine values higher than 80%. In these cases there will be no noticeable
difference between fine and coarse adjustment while in manual mode.

7.5.5 ADC noise

With this function you can define the noise band of the AD converter.
Note Note that all control parameters are determined in an optimum way for most of the actuators by the Au-
toadjust function. Changes should only be made when Autoadjust cannot be executed or control stability
cannot be achieved.
Enter a noise band between 0.03 and 0.1% referred to the lever range.
Definition The noise band defines the smallest measurable stroke change in the lever range. This value depends
on the quality of the ADC and on external disturbances.
The possible control accuracy is given by the triple noise band. This means the noise band defines the
smallest strokes which can still be recognized by the PD controller.
Hints for setting The noise band only has to be set manually of the Autoadjust function cannot be executed. Usually, it
noise band of up to 0.03% is sufficient.

7.5.6 I/P module type

In this field the installed I/P module type and its safe position are indicated.

7.6 Monitoring

7.6.1 Deadband time limit

With this function you can monitor the valve stroke time in control mode.
As soon as the valve position is outside the tolerance band, it is monitored if the setpoint is reached within
the set time. Otherwise, an alarm is signalled. The alarm message is displayed in the "Display measured
value" window.
Enter the deadband time limit to be monitored within the range of 0...200 seconds. A value of 0 seconds
will switch off this function.
If the optional module for "Digital position feedback" is present, the alarm output is enabled. The alarm
will be reset when the set position is reached.

Note Make sure that the deadband time limit is always greater than the actual stroke time.
The factory setting of the deadband time limit is 0 seconds (OFF).

7.6.2 Travel counter limit

With this function you can configure the travel counter in the device.
The totalizes the total travel of the valve stem in %.
Limits in the range of 0...4.294.967.295 can be configured for the travel counter. When the counter reach-
es the limit value, an alarm is signalled if this has been configured before under "Inputs/outputs".
In the factory setting the counter is reset, and a limit value of 1,000,000 is set.

7.6.3 Stroke counter limit

With this function you can configure the stroke counter in the device.
Every stroke that is greater than the stroke hysteresis (measured from the most distant position of the last
direction change) is counted in the positioner.
Limits in the range of 0...4.294.967.295 can be configured for the stroke counter. When the counter
reaches the limit value, an alarm is signalled, provided that this has been configured before under "Inputs/
outputs" and then saved in the device.
In the factory setting the counter is reset, and a limit value of 100,000 is set.

 Service

7.6.4 Stroke limit

Here you can define the stroke hysteresis that the stroke counter shall interpret as a stroke.
The stroke hysteresis can be configured in the range of 1...100%.
In the factory setting the stroke hysteresis is reset to 50%.

8 Service
8.1 Reset device
This function is used to re-initialize the device. All data that have not been stored in the non-volatile mem-
ory will be erased.

8.2 Load factory setting

This function is used to re-initialize the device. All data saved in the non-volatile memory will be erased,
and the factory setting will be restored.

8.3 Autoadjust
With this parameter you can define the type and scope of the autoadjustment function.
The following options can be selected:
– Full autoadjustment
– Stops only
– Control parameters only
– Zero only (requires parameterized stops)

8.4 Start Autoadjust

With this function you can externally start the autoadjustment, provided that the lock is
disabled.
The autoadjustment can be terminated at any time by using the <Cancel> button in the information win-
dow. All parameter data determined up to this moment will be rejected, and the previous data will be re-
stored.
If you choose the reduced autoadjustment function where only the control parameters are determined,
make sure that the “Valve range“ and “Actuator spring action“ parameters were set properly.

8.5 Autoadjustment state

With this function you can display the type and scope of autoadjustment.

8.6 Signal simulation

With this parameter you can simulate an actuator position in order to activate the software contacts and
check the analog position feedback. This is especially useful in the commissioning phase when checking
the cables.
