Model WEP, identifies the valve positioner of the P Series of field mounting instruments; it consists of two functional parts: the input stage accepts a - ma signal and produces a corresponding -5 pneumatic signal used by the positioning section. WEP positioner ensures that the control valve plug position is always directly proportional to the input signal, regardless of diaphragm actuator hysteresis, packing-box friction or offbalance force on the valve plug. The valve responds to infinitely small changes in the controller output signal when process lags require the use of wide proportional band. Problems usually associated with plant instability due either to oversized valves or non-linear trim characteristics are minimized by selecting one of the three feedback cam alternative positions. Turn-down ratio to by a single controller output signal split ranging for sequential operation of two or more control valves is standard. FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS Input signal to ma dc Split-range Any value up to 5% of specified input range Output to actuator Up to 95% of auxiliary supply pressure; direct or reverse acting selectable on the positioning section Cam characteristics See figure.
