Function Of Pneumatic Valve Positioner

Valve Positioner Configuration:

Valve positioners can be divided into pneumatic valve positioners, electro-pneumatic Valve positioner and intelligent valve positioner according to its structure and working principle.
The valve positioner can increase the output power of the regulating valve, reduce the transmission lag of the regulating signal, speed up the movement of the valve stem, improve the linearity of the valve, overcome the friction of the valve stem and eliminate the influence of the unbalanced force In order to ensure the correct positioning of the control valve.

Valve Positioner Adapters:

Commonly used actuator pneumatic actuator, electric actuator, there are straight stroke, angular stroke. For automatic, manual opening and closing all kinds of valves, wind plate, etc.

Working Principle Of Valve Positioner:

The valve positioner is the main accessory of the control valve. It takes the valve stem displacement signal as the input feedback measurement signal, takes the controller output signal as the setting signal, carries on the comparison, when the two have the deviation, changes its output signal to the executive mechanism, causes the executive mechanism action, the one-to-one correspondence between the displacement multiple of the valve stem and the output signal of the controller is established. Therefore, the valve positioner consists of a valve stem displacement measurement signal to the output of the controller set signal feedback control system. The control system’s control variables are the output signals of the valve positioner to the actuator.

Classification of Valve Positioners:

Valve positioner according to the input signal is divided into pneumatic valve positioner and electrical valve positioner. Pneumatic valve positioner input signal is standard gas signal, for example, 20 ~ 100KPA gas signal, its output signal is standard gas signal. Electrical valve positioner input signal is the standard current or voltage signal, such as 4~20mA current signal or 1~5V voltage signal, etc. In the electrical valve positioner will be converted into electromagnetic force, the gas signal is then output to the dial control valve.
According to the direction of action can be divided into one-way valve positioner and two-way valve positioner. When the one-way valve positioner is used in the Piston actuator, the valve positioner operates in only one direction, and the two-way valve positioner operates in both sides of the piston actuator cylinder and in both directions.

According to the valve positioner output and input signal gain symbols are divided into positive valve positioner and negative valve positioner. When the input signal of the positive-acting valve positioner increases, the output signal also increases, so that the gain is positive. When the input signal of the counter-acting Valve positioner is increased, the output signal is reduced and, therefore, the gain is negative.

According to valve positioner input signal is analog signal or digital signal, can be divided into general valve positioner and field bus electric valve positioner. The input signal of general valve positioner is analog air pressure or current and voltage signal, and the input signal of field bus electric valve positioner is a digital signal of field bus.

According to whether the valve positioner with CPU can be divided into general electric valve positioner and intelligent electric valve positioner. The general electric valve positioner does not have a CPU, therefore, it does not have intelligence and can not handle the relevant intelligent operations. The intelligent valve positioner with CPU can handle the intelligent operation, for example, it can carry out the nonlinear compensation of the forward channel, etc. The field bus electric valve positioner can also carry out the function module such as PID to realize the corresponding operation.
