hello there ,
the problem is that we need a (4-20ma) output from the actuator, and the
board responsible for that didn’t come with the actuator. However, the actuator
has a display screen that show the position of the valve in percentage .
the question is : can i get use of modifying the control circuit so i can get the
value of the position and use it in external remote screen ?
Hi,
As per the below statement, if you have “Hall Detection Board” then you can
have the 4-20mA analog output for valve position status. We need to see this
board configuration to confirm the same.
Make sure the existing display shows the real time valve position. sometimes,
if you don’t have the required sensors/mechanism to read the valve feedback,
the vendor may show command signal in percentage instead of real-time valve
status.

i really don’t know if that is the case here , but we have the “drive board” that
contain the hall sensor circuit .
santhosh:
you can have the 4-20mA analog output for valve position status
but we don’t have the “signal board” that responsible for converting the sensor
value to an analog 4-20ma signal .
so do you suggest to make our own and connect it to the hall sensor circuit.?
this is the “drive circuit / hall sensor circuit” that we have >>
If you have the hall sensor for valve feedback detection, then you need
respective signal board.
The signal board is responsible for completing the analog input and valve
position feedback output function.
Also, as some relays are availbale on the motor board, check for the
availability of OPEN or CLOSE feedback signals atleast inplace of 4-20mA
signal feedback, meanwhile you can try for the analog position feedback.
i already check the digital auxiliary feed back output that should be found if
the signal board is there ,unfortunately , the absence of the signal board has
been confirmed .
i well try to find a way to get the feedback while i’m trying to get the board
from the vendor because the shipping will take a lot of time .
