This option allows control by an analog signal in order to guarantee precision and frequency efficiencies that correspond
with those defined in our classification system of modulating needs.
1. The internal control loop shown above gives the possibility of reaching the correct open position quickly by meas-
uring the position of the valve. This will allow for a good flow efficiency through the valve without any hunting.
● Result : Modulating is more reliable and the actuator is used less, therefore reducing the actuator and valve wear.
2. While positioning is made locally via the internal control loop, the operation is not damaged by possible interfer-
ences from the position signal. The actuators reaction time during operation automatically acts like a filter for the
incoming signal.
● Result : Modulating is more stable and precise.
3. A precise setting of the valve's position with respect to the value of the incoming control signal is required for prop-
er operation.
The actuator can be set locally independant of the modulating system, thanks to the integrated positioner. This
operation is possible without using the incoming control signal.
● Result : Commissioning is easier and can be accomplished by one person.
