Positioners, converters, limit switches, position transmitters, solenoid valves and lock-up valves are transfer elements designed to adapt pneumatic control valves to the requirements of industrial plants. Supply pressure regulators and air reducing stations are used to supply the pneumatic instruments with compressed air. Positioners ensure a predetermined assignment between the valve position (controlled variable x) and control signal (reference variable w). They compare the control signal issued by pneumatic or electric automation equipment (controller, control station, process control system) to the travel or opening angle of the control valve and supply a corresponding output signal pressure (output variable y) (p st ). Positioners are often used as servo-booster as they convert low-energy signals into strong proportional signal pressures up to the maximum supply pressure (6 bar/90 psi). They can be used in standard and split-range operation. Depending on the input signal, a distinction is made between pneumatic (p/p) and electropneumatic (i/p) positioners. Pneumatic positioners accept an input signal of 0.2 to 1 bar (3 to 15 psi) and issue an output signal pressure (p st ) of maximum 6 bar (90 psi). Electropneumatic (i/p) positioners use an analog direct current signal of 4(0) to 20 ma or 1 to 5 ma as the input variable and issue an output signal pressure (p st ) up to 6 bar (90 psi). The Type 3730-3 Positioner additionally uses HART communication between field devices and the process control system. The Type 3730-4 and Type 3731-4 Positioners with PROFIBUS communication and Type 3730-5 and Type 3731-5 Positioners with FOUNDATION fieldbus communication are used to integrate final control elements into fieldbus systems. Electropneumatic (i/p) converters convert a DC input signal (control signal) directly into a pneumatic control signal (output signal pressure p st ). Limit switches consist of two inductive, electric or pneumatic contacts. They issue a signal whenever an adjusted limit is exceeded or not reached. Analog position transmitters assign a continuous 4 to 20 ma output signal to the valve travel. They signalize both end positions of the valve "Valve OPEN" and "Valve CLOSED" as well as intermediate valve positions. Solenoid valves convert binary signals issued by electric control equipment into binary pneumatic control signals. Lock-up valves shut off the signal pressure line of a pneumatic actuator upon failure of supply air or when the supply air falls below an adjusted value. As a result, the actuator is blocked. The control valve remains in its last position until the fault has been eliminated. The pneumatic remote adjuster is a precision regulator that can be adjusted precisely by hand. Air reducing stations and supply pressure regulators are used to provide pneumatic measuring and control equipment with filtered supply air at a constant pressure. 1.1 With p/p positioner 1.2 With i/p positioner 1.3 With i/p converter 1 0.2 to 1 bar Fig. 1 Schematics of pneumatic control valves 2.1 Schematics 2.2 Control signal versus travel diagram for two control valves operating in the same direction 2.3 Control signal versus travel diagram for two control valves operating in opposing directions Fig. 2 Two control valves operated in parallel using a control signal y in split-range operation 3 p st Legend for Figs. 1 to 3 1 Pneumatic controller 3 p/p positioner 4 Continuous-action elec. controller 5 i/p converter 6 i/p positioner 7 Limit switch 8 3/2-way solenoid valve 9 Supply pressure regulator 10 Air supply w x y Reference variable Controlled variable Output variable Fig. 3 Schematics of a pneumatic control valve 2 T 8350 EN

Data is transferred between the TROVIS-VIEW software and the SAMSON device either directly using a connecting cable or infrared adapter or indirectly using a memory pen or memory module. A direct connection enables both online and offline operation. This means that data can be changed in the device immediately, or they can be saved on the PC first and later downloaded to the device on site. The device-specific modules contain a database providing the characteristic properties of each device type, such as parameters, data points, user levels, etc. Refer to T 6661 EN for details.

Set point ranges 0 0.6 bar (0 9 psi) 0 1.6 bar (0 23 psi) 0 4 bar (0 60 psi) 0 6 bar (0 90 psi) Operating pressure p 1 Max. 7 bar (100 psi) Version Panel mounting or installation T 8510 EN Fig. 34 Type 3999-0096 Filter Regulator Fig. 35 Type 3759 Pneumatic Remote Adjuster Type 3709 Pneumatic Lock-up Valve Pneumatic lock-up valve for shutting off the signal pressure line of pneumatic actuators upon failure of the supply air. Signal pressure Supply air Up to 6 bar (90 psi) Max. 12 bar (175 psi) T 8391 EN Fig. 36 Type 3709 Pneumatic Lock-up Valve 16 T 8350 EN
Type 3710 Reversing Amplifier The reversing amplifier allows double-acting pneumatic actuators to be operated using single-acting positioners. The positioner creates an output signal pressure Y 1, to which the air pressure Y 2 is added. The reversing amplifier uses the supply pressure Z as auxiliary power. The following rule applies: Y 1 + Y 2 = Z Supply pressure Threaded connections Ambient temperature range Degree of Max. 6 bar (90 psi) ISO 228/1-G ¼ or ¼-18 NPT 25... 80 C ( 13... 176 F) IP 65 Pressure gauge for Y 1 and Y 2 or a pressure gauge for Y 2 in conjunction with Type 4708-54 Supply Pressure Regulator T 8392 EN Fig 37 Type 3710 Reversing Amplifier with two pressure gauges Type 3755 Pneumatic Volume Booster The volume booster is used together with positioners to increase the positioning speed of pneumatic actuators. It supplies an air flow output at the actuator port whose pressure corresponds exactly with the signal pressure, except that it has a much higher volume output. Supply pressure Signal and actuator pressure Max. 10 bar (150 psi) Max. 7 bar (105 psi) Pressure ratio Signal to output = 1:1 Ambient temperature range 40 to 80 C ( 40 176 F) Fig. 38 Type 3755 Pneumatic Volume Booster Flanged-on exhaust port NPT threads T 8393 EN 17 T 8350 EN
