Design and principle of operation
3.3 Communication
The positioner is equipped with an interface
for HART®protocol(HighwayAddressable
Remote Transducer) for communication pur-
poses. Data are transmitted in a superim-
posed frequency (FSK = Frequency Shift Key-
ing) on the existing signal loop for the 4 to
20mAreferencevariable.

al inductive contact (11) is connected to A1,
while the remaining software limit contact is
connected to A2.
Solenoid valve

valve(12)fallsbelow12V,thesupplypres-

sphere. As a result, the actuator is vented
andthecontrolvalvemovestothefail-safe
position. In manual mode, the manual set
point is reset to 0%. A different manual set
point must entered again.

Analog position transmitter

transmitter and issues the travel sensor signal
