The robust and compact positioner is designed with standardisation acc. to IEC
60534 - 6 - 1 or VDI/VDE 3845 (IEC 60534 - 6 - 2) for assembly onto linear and rotary
actuators. In addition, the variant with remote position sensor can be combined
with Bürkert process control valves for closed-loop control. The digital electropneumatic
positioner, SideControl, can be operated with all standard current and
voltage standard signals and can also optionally be equipped with the fieldbus
interface. The positioner is equipped with additional diagnostic functions to
monitor the valve. Valve diagnostic messages via status signals are issued in
accordance with NE107 (NAMUR) and recorded as historical entries. The diagnostics
can be used to monitor the operating conditions of the control valve which
makes maintenance decisions predictable and optimises the availability of the
plants as required. Operation occurs via the external operating and display module
consisting of a graphic display with backlight. For the user, this results in very
simple and clear operation, which is identical to the Bürkert ELEMENT 8692/8693
positioners and process controllers. The pneumatic actuating system can be used
equally for single-acting and double-acting actuators. It features a defined safety
response in the event of failure of the electrical or pneumatic power supply and has
an enormous air capacity range with pressure supply up to 7 bar.
