SRD960

Universal Valve Positioner SRD960; Position Transmitter SRD960-T

srd960 foxboro eckhardt

Manufactured byfoxboro

The Universal Positioner SRD960 is designed to operate pneumatic valve actuators and is available in the version Ex d / explosionproof (flameproof). It can be operated from control systems (e.g. the Foxboro I/A Series System), controllers, or PC-based configuration- and operation tools such as VALcare™. The positioner is available with different communication protocols. The multi-lingual full text grafic-LCD in connection with the external 4 push buttons (optional with infrared interface IrCom) allows a comfortable and easy local configuration and operation.

Features

Automatic start-up Autostart functionality

Automatic detection of mechanical stops, control parameters and of direction of spring force. A dynamic optimization is included in this procedure. This procedure allows a full adaptation on optimi- zation of the positioner to the actuator without any manual adjustments!

Options

  • Built-in independent inductive limit switches
  • Pressure Sensors for supply air pressure and output pressure I (y1) and II (y2)
  • Additional Inputs / outputs:
  • 2 binary outputs (position alarms)
  • Position feedback 4 to 20 mA + binary alarm output
  • 2 binary inputs

Options

In AISI 316 with code F1 
transmitter flange integrated manifold code F2
   

Operation and configuration

Local with four keys
Display Multi-Lingual Graphic LCD or five LEDs
The positioner in LCD version is available with three different menu languages:
Two menu languages are standard:
- English
- German
Freely definable third language (additional languages on request): - French - Portuguese - Spanish
- Italian - Swedish - etc.

The third menu language has to be selected and specified with order. All additional Menu languages can be downloaded into the positioner by means of the operation- and configuration software VALcare™. Additional language downloads are available on our homepage.

Diagnosis

  • local
  • Self diagnostics
  • Status- and diagnostic messages
  • via VALcare™ Valve Diagnostic Software:
  • Service Management for planning and scheduling of service intervals
  • Histograms for displaying the position- and response history over time
  • Partial Stroke Test for the functional inspection of safety related actuators
  • Hours in operation, cycle counter and travel sum of the actuator are determined
  • Surveillance of loop current
  • shows condition of device:
  • Potentiometer
  • IPMotor
  • exceeding range of actuator (possible indication for wear of plug or seat)
  • remaining control deviation (possible indication for jammed actuator, blocked valve stem or plug, not sufficient air capacity /supply air pressure /positioning pressure)
  • if equipped with pressure sensors (optional):
  • Monitoring of the stem friction
  • Histograms for displaying the friction-history over time
  • surveillance of air supply and output pressure, each with display of physical value
  • Additional diagnostical possibilities in control operation by means of external sensors (optional).
  • See also the VALcare™ Documentation.

Service plug and IrCom

All basic devices are equipped with a service plug A at the front side. There via RS232 interface a PC with VALcare™ (DTM) can be connected via modem EDC82 (galv. separated, not Ex).
If the SRD is equipped with option “IrCom” B , communication can take place contactless via infrared with the positioner (even with a closed cover!). A modem “IR Interface” (not Ex) connected via RS232 interface to a PC with VALcare™ (DTM) makes communcation possible up a range of approx. 0,5 m.
(If the notebook has an IrDa interface, this cannot be used despite being similartechnology as IrDa instruction set has no communication commands for positioners.)
