Design and principle of operation
2 Design and principle of operation

The positioner is mounted on pneumatic control valves and is used to assign the valve posi-
tion (controlled variable x) to the control signal (set point w). The positioner compares the
control signal of a control system to the travel or rotational angle of the control valve and is-
sues a signal pressure (output variable y) for the pneumatic actuator.
The positioner mainly consists of an electric travel sensor system, an analog i/p converter
with a downstream air capacity booster and the electronics with the microcontroller.
When a set point deviation occurs, the actuator is either vented or filled with air. If neces-
sary, the signal pressure change can be slowed down by a volume restriction. The signal
pressure supplied to the actuator can be limited by software or on site to 1.4, 2.4 or 3.7 bar.
The fixed flow regulator ensures a constant air flow to the atmosphere, which is used to flush
the inside of the positioner housing and to optimize the air capacity booster. The i/p convert-
er is supplied with a constant upstream pressure by the pressure regulator to compensate for
any fluctuations in the supply pressure.

KH 8384-5 EN 9
The positioner communicates and is powered using IEC 61158-2 transmission technology
conforming to FOUNDATION™ fieldbus specification.
As a standard feature, the positioner comes with a binary input used to signalize process in-
formation over the FOUNDATION™ fieldbus network.
The extended EXPERTplus diagnostics are integrated into the positioner. They provide infor-
mation on the positioner and generate diagnostic and status messages, which allow faults to
be pinpointed quickly.
2.1 Application type

The application types 'Control valve' and 'On/off valve' are available. The manual mode
(MAN) and the automatic mode (AUTO) can be selected with both application types.
Depending on the application type selected, the positioner responds differently in automatic
mode (AUTO) .
Control over FOUNDATION™ fieldbus is performed over the AO Function Block (control
valve) and over the DO1 Function Block (on/off valve). The application type can be entered
in the Resource Block over the SELECT_DO_1 parameter or at the positioner using Code
49 - h0.
Control valve Open/close (on/off) valve
AUTO mode The positioner uses the set point to Discrete analysis of the set point The
position the valve. The valve position valve position (current position) in %
(current position) appears in % on the and O/C (Open/Close) appear in

MAN mode The positioner follows the set point given over local operation.
Note
− Depending on the application type, certain diagnostic functions cannot be performed or
analyzed (u EB 8389 on EXPERTplus valve diagnostics).
− In manual mode, an on/off valve can be moved past 100 % of the nominal range (with the
closed position for AIR TO OPEN) or below 0 % of the nominal range (with the closed posi-
tion for AIR TO CLOSE).

2.2 Additional equipment

Solenoid valve
If the operating voltage for the solenoid valve (12) fails, the supply pressure for the i/p con-
verter is vented to the atmosphere. The positioner can no longer operate and the control
valve moves to the fail-safe position determined by the actuator, regardless of the set point.
! NOTICE
The manual set point is also reset to 0 % after the solenoid valve is activated!
A different manual set point must be entered again (Code 1).
Inductive limit contact
In this version, the rotary shaft of the positioner carries an adjustable tag which actuates the
built-in proximity switch.
External position sensor

In this version, only the sensor is mounted to the control valve. The positioner is located sepa-
rately from the valve. The connection of x and y signals to the valve is established by cable
and piping for air (only without inductive limit contact).
Leakage sensor
By upgrading the positioner with a leakage sensor, it is possible to detect seat leakage when
the valve is in the closed position.
Binary inputs
Binary input BI1 (14)
As a standard feature, the positioner comes with a binary input used to signalize process in-
formation over the FOUNDATION™ fieldbus network.
Binary input BI2 (15)
This binary input BI2 is optional. It is an active input which is powered by the positioner to
connect a floating contact. The switching state of the floating contact can be indicated over
the FOUNDATION™ fieldbus network.
Note
The binary inputs are configured in the DI Function Blocks.
KH 8384-5 EN 11
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus block model
2.3 Configuration using TROVIS-VIEW

The positioner can be configured with SAMSON's TROVIS-VIEW Software.
The positioner has for this purpose a serial interface to allow the RS-232 or USB port of a
computer to be connected to it using an adapter cable.
The TROVIS-VIEW software enables the user to easily configure the positioner as well as view
process parameters online.
2.4 Communication
The positioner is controlled completely by digital signal transmission according to
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus specification.
Data are transmitted over the bus using digital, bit-synchronous Manchester coding at a
Baud rate of 31.25 kbit/s over twisted-pair wires according to IEC 61158-2.
Note
If complex functions are started in the positioner, which require a long calculation time or
lead to a large quantity of data being saved in the volatile memory of the positioner, the alert
'busy' is issued over the DD. This alert is not an error message and can be simply confirmed.
3 FOUNDATION™ fieldbus block model

All the functions and data of the positioner are assigned to various block types in
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus. Each block type covers a different range of tasks. In the SAMSON
Type 3730-5 Positioner, the following block types are implemented:
12 KH 8384-5 EN
Initialization and zero calibration of the positioner
Resource Block (RES)

The Resource Block (RES) describes characteristics of the fieldbus device, such as the device
name, manufacturer number and serial number. There is only one Resource Block in a de-
vice.
Function Blocks (FB)

Function Blocks are responsible for the way a FOUNDATION™ fieldbus device works. A
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus application can be configured by linking the input and output
parameters of Function Blocks.
The Type 3730-5 Positioner includes the following Function Blocks:
− 1x Analog Output Function Blocks (AO FB); execution time: 30 ms
− 1x Analog Input Function Blocks (AI FB); execution time: 30 ms
− 2x Discrete Output Function Blocks (DO FB); execution time: 30 ms
− 2x Discrete Input Function Blocks (DI FB); execution time: 20 ms
− 1x Proportional Integral Derivative Function Block (PID); execution time: 40 ms
Transducer Blocks (TRD)

Each AI or AO Function Block has a Transducer Block which contains all data and de-
vice-specific parameters to link the device to the process value (sensor or final control ele-
ment).
The following Transducer Blocks (corresponding to the Function Blocks) are implemented:
− 1x Advanced Positioner Transducer Block (AO TRD)
− 1x Analog Input Transducer Block (AI TRD)
− 2x Discrete Output Transducer Blocks (DO TRD)
− 2x Discrete Input Transducer Blocks (DI TRD)
4 Initialization and zero calibration of the positioner

Both an initialization and a zero calibration can be started over the XD_COMMAND param-
eter of the AO Transducer Block. The relevant parameters for a MAX/NOM initialization and
the diagnostic functions of EXPERTplus are listed below (u EB 8389).
− APPLICATION_TYPE_OC_CONTROL (application type)
− INIT_METHOD (initialization method)

− TRANS_PIN_POS (follower pin position)

− RATED_TRAVEL (required rated travel for NOM initialization)
− PRESSURE_LIMIT (pressure limit setting)
− SELECT_EMERGENCY_MODE (E (setting when the travel sensor is defective)
− DEVICE_CHARACTERISTIC (C (settings for actuator and other accessories)
MODEL (actuator with or without spring-return mechanism)

XD_COMMAND ("Start Initialization“)
XD_COMMAND_STATE (initialization status)
Note
Read the corresponding section on starting up the positioner in the Mounting and Operating
Instructions u EB 8384-5.
5 Resetting the positioner

The start-up and diagnostic data (in Code 36 Std) can be reset over the XD_COMMAND
(41) parameter of the AO Transducer Block.
The device data are reset and the function blocks connected to the values given in the
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus specification using the DEFAULTS value in the RESTART (16)
parameter of the Resource Block (RES).
A warm start of the positioner is performed using the PROCESSOR value in the RESTART (16)
parameter of the Resource Block (RES).
The entire diagnostic data as well as the individual messages and histograms are reset over
the RESET_STATUS_MESSAGE_DIAG (147) parameter of the AO Transducer Block.
14 KH 8384-5 EN
Status classification and condensed state
6 Status classification and condensed state

All status messages are classified in the positioner to report an error that has occurred. The
status classification can be changed over the DIAG_CLS parameter.
To provide a better overview, the classified messages are summarized in a condensed state
(CONDENSED_STATE (81) in the Resource Block). Besides the CONDENSED_STATE parame-
ter, the condensed state can be issued to the discrete output OUT_D of the DI Function Blocks
(DI1 + DI2).
Possible condensed states include:
0 OK
1 Maintenance required The positioner still performs its control task (with restrictions). A
maintenance demand or above average wear has been determined.
The wear tolerance will soon be exhausted or is reducing at a faster
rate than expected. Maintenance is necessary in the medium term.
2 Maintenance The positioner still performs its control task (with restrictions). A
demanded maintenance demand or above average wear has been determined.
The wear tolerance will soon be exhausted or is reducing at a faster
rate than expected. Maintenance is necessary in the short term.
3 Maintenance alarm The positioner cannot perform its control task due to a functional fault
in the positioner itself or in one of its peripherals or an initialization has
not yet been successfully completed.
7 Function check Test or calibration procedures are performed in the positioner. The
positioner is temporarily unable to perform its control task as long as
the procedure is taking place.
7 Block model
Several parameters can only be changed in certain modes (see Read/write capability in the
parameter description). In this case, not the actual mode is decisive, but the target mode.
7.1 Resource Block (RES)

The Resource Block contains all the data that identify the device. It is similar to an electronic
device tag. Resource Block parameters include device type, device name, manufacturer ID,
serial number as well as parameters that affect the behavior of all other blocks of the device.
KH 8384-5 EN 15
Block model
See page 27 for parameter list.
Note
All time specifications in the Resource Block are specified in the unit of 1/32 ms according to
the FOUNDATION™ fieldbus Specification Version 1.7.
In the Device Description Library supplied by Fieldbus FOUNDATION™ upon which the device
description of Type 3730-5 is also based, these parameters are incorrectly specified as the
unit of ms. The specified values supplied by the device are, however, always to be interpreted
as the unit of 1/32 ms.
7.2 Transducer Blocks

Transducer Blocks link the function blocks to the input and output variables of a field device.
For example, the DI Function Blocks are linked to the physical binary inputs, an internal sole-
noid valve, the current valve position or the condensed state of the positioner. This link to the
various Transducer Blocks is made over the CHANNEL parameter of the individual function
blocks. The table below shows how CHANNEL is assigned to the function block:
CHANNEL Function block
1 AO
2 AI
3 DI1
4 DI2
5 DO1
6 DO2
The Transducer Blocks DI TRD and DO TRD are implemented according to the
FOUNDATION™ fieldbus specification and do not contain any manufacturer-specific
parameters.
16 KH 8384-5 EN
Block model
7.3 Advanced Positioner Transducer Block (AO TRD)

The Advanced Positioner Transducer Block (AO TRD) contains an output value from an up-
stream Analog Output Function Block. This value is used to position a control valve. The block
contains parameters to adapt the positioner to the actuator and valve as well as for valve
start-up and diagnostics.
Action on fault detection

The action on fault detection for the "Maintenance alarm" state in the condensed state can be
configured in the XD_FSTATE_OPT parameter as follows:
− Hold last value
− Move to fail-safe position
− Move to fault state value XD_FSTATE_VAL
The action on fault detection to transfer to the O/S mode can be configured in the XD_OOS_
OPT parameter as follows:
− Hold last value
− Move to fail-safe position
− Move to fault state value XD_FSTATE_VAL
The AO Transducer Block (AO TRD) can still set an output error in the AO Function Block. For
this purpose, the following events to activate an output error can be configured in the
ALARM_OPTION parameter.
− No (never)
− Local Override (when the AO TRD is in the LOCAL OVERRIDE mode, i.e. the positioner is
set locally in the SAFE mode or an internal solenoid valve is activated)
− MAN (when the AO TRD is in MAN mode)
− Block alarm (when the AO TRD has a MAINTENANCE NOW block error)
− AO TRD fault state (when the action on fault detection is active)
− AO O/S set fault state (when the AO Function Block in the O/S mode, the valve is
moved to the FSTATE_VAL of the AO Function Block)

7.4.1 Analog Output Function Block (AO FB)

The AO Function Block processes an analog signal from an upstream block (e.g. PID Function
Block) to an output value that can be used for the downstream Transducer Block (e.g. valve
positioner). It contains scaling functions and ramp functions as well as other functions. The
generated OUT value is forwarded over CHANNEL to the downstream Transducer Block.
The AO Function Block contains its set point SP depending on the mode (MODE_BLK)
− Manually entered SP (AUTO)
− Directly from an upstream function block (CAS_IN)
− Directly from a fieldbus host system (RCAS_IN)
An internal working process value PV is generated from SP, while taking into account:

7.4.2 Proportional Integral Derivative Function Block (PID)

A PID Function Block contains the input channel processing, the proportional-integral-deriva-
tive (PID) control loop and the analog output channel processing.
The configuration of the PID Function Block (PID controller) depends on the automation task.
Simple control loops, control loops with feedforward control, cascade control and cascade
controls with limitation in combination with another controller function block can be imple-
mented.
The following options are available for data processing within the PID Function Block (PID
controller): signal scaling and limiting, mode control, feedforward control, override tracking,
alarm limit detection and signal status propagation.
The PID Function Block (PID controller) can be used for various automation strategies. The
block has a flexible control algorithm that can be configured to match the application.
The PID Function Block receives its set point depending on the mode (MODE_BLK) from the
input variables CAS_IN, RCAS_IN or SP. An internal working set point is generated based
on PV_SCALE, SP_HI_LIM, SP_LO_LIM, SP_RATE_UP and SP_RATE_DN.
The block receives the process value over the IN input variable which is used to generate the
process variable PV, taking into account the PV_SCALE and the filter of the first order PV_
FTIME.
These values are fed to the internal PID algorithm. This algorithm consists of a proportional,
an integral and a derivative component. The output value is calculated from the set point SP
and the process variable PV resulting from the set point deviation.
The single PID components are included in the calculation of the output value as follows:
− Proportional component:
The proportional component reacts immediately and directly when the set point SP or the
process variable PV changes. The output variable is changed by the proportional factor
GAIN. This change corresponds to the set point deviation multiplied by the gain factor. If
a controller works only with a proportional component, the control loop has a steady-
state error signal.
− Integral component:
The set point deviation resulting from the calculation of the output variable using the pro-
portional component is integrated over the integral component of the controller until it is
negligible. The integral function corrects the output variable depending on the size and
duration of the set point deviation. If the value for the integration time RESET is set to ze-
ro, the controller works as a P or PD controller. The influence of the integral component
on the control loop increases when the value of the integration time RESET is reduced.
22 KH 8384-5 EN
Block model
− Derivative component:
In controlled systems with long delay times, e.g. in temperature control loops, it is better
to use the derivative component RATE of the controller. Using the derivative component
RATE, the output variable is calculated depending on the rate of change of the set point
deviation.
An OUT value is generated from the calculated ouput value based on the OUT_SCALE,
OUT_HI_LIM and OUT_LO_LIM parameters. It can be forwarded to a downstream function
block.
The status of the OUT value can be influenced by the STATUS_OPTS parameter depending
on the status of the input variables of the PID Function Block. As a result, the fault state of a
following output block can be activated, for example.
The BYPASS parameter allows the internal set point to pass directly through to the output val-
ue. The FF_VAL input value allows feedforward control, while TRK_IN_D and TRK_VAL allow
the direct tracking of the out value.

7.4.3 Discrete Input Function Block (DI1 FB + DI2 FB)

The DI Function Block processes single discrete signals and provides them to other function
blocks over the OUT_D parameter. The positioner has two DI Function Blocks which provide
the options listed in following. The application type is set over the SELECT_DI_1…2 parame-
ters of the Resource Block.
− 5 – 30 VDC (DI1)
As a standard feature, the positioner comes with a contact input to analyze binary volt-
age signals (terminals 87 and 88). The DI1 Function Block analyzes the state of the con-
tact and issues it over OUT_D.
− Floating contact (DI2)
The positioner can be fitted with an optional binary input to analyze a floating contact
(terminals 85 and 86). The DI2 Function Block analyzes the state of the contact and issues
it over OUT_D.
When a pressure sensor (leakage sensor) is connected, its switching state can be issued
as a diagnostic alarm in the XD_ERROR_EXT parameter of the AO Transducer Block and
logged. In this case, the 'Actively Open – Ext. Leak. Sens.' or 'Actively Closed – Ext.
Leak. Sens.' option must be activated in CONFIG_BINARY_INPUT2. Additionally, the
switching state of the binary input is issued in the BINARY_INPUT2 parameter of the AO
Transducer Block.
− Int. solenoid valve (DI1, DI2)
In this setting, the current switching state of the optional internal solenoid valve is ana-
lyzed and issued over OUT_D. '0' indicates a de-energized solenoid valve (U <
15 V DC) and '1' an energized solenoid valve (U > 19 V DC).
− Discr. final valve position (DI1, DI2)
In this setting, the current discrete valve position is issued over OUT_D. The values are as-
signed as follows:
0 Device not initialized
1 Valve closed
2 Valve open
3 Valve in intermediate position
24 KH 8384-5 EN
Block model
− Condensed State (DI1, DI2)

In this setting, the current condensed state according to NAMUR Recommendation
NE 107 is issued over OUT_D. The status messages are assigned to the discrete value as
follows:
0 No message
1 Maintenance required
2 Maintenance demanded
3 Maintenance alarm

The Stale Counter serves to judge the "quality" of a process variable received over a config-
ured cyclic connection (publisher/subscriber connection).
These connections are used to transfer the process variable linked amongst the various func-
tion blocks. For this purpose, the upstream block (publisher) sends the process variable over
the bus at scheduled times. The downstream block(s) (subscriber) responds at the scheduled
times. The blocks that are to receive data monitor whether a valid value exists at the sched-
uled time. A value is valid if it exists with the status "Good" at the scheduled time.
The Stale Counter defines how many "Bad" (stale) values can be accepted in sequence be-
fore the Fault State of the block is activated.
This monitoring function is deactivated by setting the Stale Counter to zero.
8.1 Link Objects

Link Objects are used to link the inputs and outputs of the function blocks (configurable cyclic
connections).
A maximum of 22 Link Objects can be configured for each positioner.
8.2 LAS Functionality

The number of links and schedules that can be used is matched to the requirements of stan-
dard process control systems available on the market.
The positioner functioning as an LAS can support the following:
− 2 schedules
− 2 subschedules
− 5 sequences per subschedule
− 48 elements per sequence
In the delivered state, the device is configured as a basic device.
