4.2 Functionality
The PositionMaster EDP300 is an electronically configurable positioner with communication capabilities designed for mounting
on pneumatic linear or part-turn actuators.
Fully automatic determination of the control parameters and adaptation to the positioner allow for considerable time savings as
well as optimum control behavior.

NOTICE
Perform a functional check of the emergency shutdown
module (option) at least every 2 years. For this purpose, the
positioner must move the valve into the safety position with
the 24 V DC signal (terminal +85 / 86) interrupted.-
NOTICE
The positioner must only be supplied with instrument air that
is free of oil, water, and dust (in gas configuration with dried
natural gas).
The purity and oil content must meet the requirements of
Class 3 according to DIN/ISO 8573-1.
NOTICE
Damage to components!
Contamination on the air pipe and positioner can damage
components.
Dust, splinters, and any other particles of dirt must be blown
off the pipe before it is connected.
NOTICE
Damage to components!
Pressure above 10 bar (145 psi) can damage the positioner
or actuator.
Provisions must be made (e.g., use of a pressure regulator)
to ensure that the pressure does not rise above 10 bar

Dead Angle 100% 55.0 ... 100.0 % Use this parameter to cut off the unusable range of the valve flow characteristic curve from the
point of view of control.
The dead angle is a percentage of the working range to which the valve is moved if the input
signal is 19.84 mA.
NOTICE
If the parameter is changed, the switching points of the binary feedback opposite the valve area
which had possibly been previously adjusted will shift.

Mask contents Value range Description
Zone 1 … 100 in steps of 1 This parameter specifies the point at which the control structure is switched over when the dead
band is being approached.
NOTICE
On valves where slip-stick effect is significant, valve vibration can be reduced by increasing the
value of the "Zone" parameter.
Dead Band 0.10 ... 10.00 % in steps The dead band defines a +/- range around the position set point. Once the valves and fittings
of 0.01 % reach this range, the positioner maintains this position.
DB Approach Fast This parameter specifies the speed at which the dead band is approached.
Medium In rare cases, overshooting can occur when the valve position is being compensated. This can be
Slow prevented by reducing the speed of the dead band approach (DB Approach).
DB Control time 0 ... 30 s In some cases it can happen that the valve continues moving slowly after reaching the dead band
and leaves the dead band again. To prevent this, this parameter can be used to specify how long
the controller should be active after reaching the dead band.
Factory setting: 0 s
DB Timeout Use this parameter to enter a monitoring time up to the point at which the dead band is reached.
When the dead band is exceeded, the monitoring time is started.
If the dead band around the new position set point is not reached again within the specified time,
an alarm is triggered.
Once the set point has been reached, the alarm is automatically reset.
NOTICE
With active shutoff there is no alarm message.
Once the set point has been reached, the alarm is automatically reset.
Value range: 0 ... 1000 s.
NOTICE
The monitoring stroke time is determined during Auto Adjust. Selecting a value of "0 s" deactivates
this parameter.
KP Up 1.0 … 400.0 The KP value is the gain of the controller. The control speed and stability are influenced by the KP
value. With higher KP values, the control speed increases.
To compensate for existing dis symmetries in the controlled system, the KP value should be set
separately for both positioning directions (up / down). For most actuators, satisfactory control
behavior is achieved with a KP value between 2.0 ... 10.0.
Use this parameter to adjust the KP value for the up positioning direction (towards 100 %).
NOTICE
The control precision is not affected by the KP value.
Use this parameter to adjust the KP value for the down positioning direction (towards 0 %).
NOTICE
The control precision is not affected by the KP value.
Use this parameter to adjust the KP value for the up positioning direction (towards 100 %).
TV Down 10 … 800 ms The TV value is the derivative time of the controller.
The control speed and stability are affected by the TV value in such a way that it counteracts the
KP value dynamically. The control speed decreases as the TV value increases.
To compensate for existing dissymmetries in the controlled system, the TV value should be
configured separately for both positioning directions (up / down).
Use this parameter to adjust the TV value for the down positioning direction (towards 0 %).
Use this parameter to adjust the Y offset for the up positioning direction (towards 100 %).
Y-Offset Down 1 ... 100.0 % The "offset for the set point signal" linearizes the behavior of the I/P module used and enables
rapid compensation even in the case of small control deviations. The value is limited at the lower
end by a minimum value (neutral zone).
The offset significantly affects the control speed for control deviations of less than 5 %.
To compensate for existing dissymmetries in the controlled system, the offset should be
configured separately for both positioning directions (up / down).
For most actuators, satisfactory control behavior is achieved with offset values between
40 ... 80 %. If, in the event of set point changes, the control behavior demonstrates an overshoot
of less than 2 %, both offset values should be decreased.
Both offset values should be increased when the actuator stops outside the dead band.
Use this parameter to adjust the Y offset for the down positioning direction (towards 0 %).
NOTICE
In the case of most actuators, all control parameters can be optimized by using Auto Adjust. The parameters should only be
changed if Auto Adjust cannot be executed or does not result in satisfactory control behavior.

... / Diagnosis
Menu / parameter Value range Description
Partial Stroke PS Configuration, PS "Partial Stroke Test" is used to test the mobility of the safety-related valves and fittings. For this
Interval, PS Start Now purpose, the valve is moved by a configurable amount in the direction of the safety position
(venting of positioner output 1).
If this does not happen within the expected time, an alarm is signaled. After the test, the valve
follows the current set point again. The start of the test is triggered using a time interval “PS
Interval”, through the digital input (configuration: Input/Output-> Digital Input-> DI Function ->
Partial Stroke) or locally on the device “PS Start Now”.
NOTICE
Property damage!
During the test, the valve no longer follows the set point current. This change in the valve position
may have a detrimental effect on the process.
Histogram Pos. Timeout Use this parameter to select which histogram is to be displayed.
Valve Movements In this menu, the number of values or events is assigned to a valve range and displayed as an
Valve Cycles individual bar graph. The valve ranges are divided up as follows:
Mainly Used Pos. <0%

The histograms support valve diagnostics and allow conclusions to be drawn about the valve,
control quality, wear, and properties of the valves and fittings.
The step response from the DTM can be used to determine the partial stroke parameters.
NOTICE
The default setting for this time is automatically determined by Auto Adjust (only in Auto Adjust
mode: Valve Ranges, Full).
Dead Time: Use this parameter (dead time) to set the time in which the valve must have moved
out of the end position.
The dead time must be less than half the "Timeout Value".
NOTICE
The partial stroke must be tested after configuration!

triggered on a cyclical basis.

CAUTION
Danger of crushing!
If Service Mode is set to "On", the valve moves to its pneumatic safety position. In the case of the

no longer follows the set point current.
The actuator will therefore move without delay.
