5.6
Type 8696 positioner
The position measuring system records the current position (POS) of the pneumatic actuator. The positioner com-
pares this actual position value with the set-point value (CMD), which is definable as norm signal. In case of a control
deviation (Xd1), a pulse-width modulated voltage signal is sent to the control system as a manipulated variable. If
there is a positive control difference in single-acting actuators, the air inlet valve is controlled via output B1. If the
control difference is negative, the bleed valve is controlled via output E1. In this way the position of the actuator is
changed until control difference is 0. Z1 represents a disturbance variable.
