Operation Principle

2-1 Type IP8000
When the input current increases, armature (13) receives counter-clockwise rotating torque with leaf-spring (11) of torque motor (12) functioning as the support, counter- weight (4) is pushed towards left, the space between nozzle (6) and flapper (5) opens and the nozzle back pressure decreases. As the result, exhaust valve (7) of pilot valve (1)  moves to right, the output pressure of OUT1 increases and diaphragm valve (15) moves downward. The movement of diaphragm valve (15) acts on feedback spring (10)  through feedback lever (8), transmission lever (14) and span adjusting lever (9) and the actuator is balanced at the position where it is balanced with the force generated by the input current. Gain suppression spring (2) is used to immediately feedback the movement of exhaust valve (7) to counter-weight (4) and it increases the loop stability. For zero-point adjustment, change the tension of zero-adjust spring (3).SMC IP8100 Electro Pneumatic Positioner -

For reverse position, exchange the shaft of the span adjusting lever to the opposite side. The span adjusting screw faces upward in this condition. (See “Piping method”)
2-2 Type IP8100
When the input current increases, armature (14) receives counter-clockwise rotation torque with leaf-spring (12) of torque motor (13) functioning as the support, counter- weight (4) is pushed towards left, the space between nozzle (6) and flapper (5) opens and the nozzle back pressure decreases. As the result, exhaust valve (7) of pilot valve (1)  moves to right, the output pressure of OUT1 increases and the output pressure of OUT2 decreases, starting the rotation of rocking actuator (16). The movement of rocking  actuator (16) acts on feedback spring (10) through feedback shaft, cam (8), span adjusting lever (9) and transmission lever (15) and the actuator is balanced at the position  where it balances with the force generated by the input current. Fig.6 shows the case of cam DA structure normal actuation (the main shaft of rocking actuator (16) turns clockwise at the time the input current increases).
Gain suppression spring (2) is used to immediately feedback the movement of exhaust valve to counter-weight (4) and it increases the loop stability. For zero-point  adjustment, change the tension of zero-point adjust spring (3).SMC IP8100 Electro Pneumatic Positioner - Block

7-2 Sensitivity adjustmentSMC IP8100 Electro Pneumatic Positioner -
procedure 3

Fig.18 shows the input current –output pressure characteristics of OUT1 and OUT2 of the pilot valve. The sensitivity adjust screw (Fig. 17) is adjusted at the time of  shipment to optimize the output pressure (Fig. 18) and this needs no adjustment ordinarily. E

Cautions
The sensitivity adjustment of pilot valve is effective to the double action actuator only. If the sensitivity is poor because of the actuator type of load condition, turn the  sensitivity adjust screw clockwise. If hunching occurs, turn the sensitivity adjust screw counter-clockwise.
(The amount of turning depends on actuators. Turn it by 1/16 to one turn. Do not loosen the stopper screw at this time since it is set to avoid the screw coming off.)

  • If hunching occurs with an actuator of small capacity, refer to the description in 11-1 (for both single action and double action.)
    7-3 Manual switching
    (1) Supply pressure and the OUT1 output are connected by rotating the Auto/Manual changeover screw towards M (Fig. 17). Manual stroke adjustment of the diaphragm  valve and single acting actuator can be adjusted by using the supply pressure setting reducing valve Mode switching is available by approx. 1/8 turn. Keep the rotation within  1/4 to 1/8 turn.
    (2) To operate based on the input current, tighten the Auto/Manual changeover screw towards A. (See Fig. 17). E

Caution
On this manual switching, SUP and OUT1 are conducted through the pilot valve and when the pilot valve becomes out of order, the manual switching is not functioning.  Note that the stopper small screw set to the top is for prevention from coming off. Do not loosen it.
The sensitivity adjust screw is adjusted before shipping. Do not rotate it. E

Maintenance and Check

Warning

(1)   After installation, repair or disassembly, connect compressed air and conduct tests to confirm appropriate function and leakage.
Do not use the positioner when noise from the bleeder sounds louder compared with the initial state, or when it does not operate normally. If these occur, check immediately if assembled and mounted correctly.
Never modify electrical construction to maintain explosion-proof construction.
**** Caution
(1) Check if supply air is clean or not. Inspect compressed air cleaning system periodically and keep condition to be able to always get clean air so that dust, oil and humidity which cause malfunction and failure wouldn’t include into the equipment.
(2) If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Maintenance and replacement of unit parts should be performed only by trained and experienced personnel for instrumentation equipment as well as following the product specifications.
(3) Perform an annual inspection of the positioner.
Zero point and span may have deviated. During regular maintenance, check for the following and replace any components as necessary.
When an excessively worn O-ring or other packing is found, or any unit (the pilot valve unit etc.) has been damaged, replace with new ones. Treatment at an early stage is especially important if the positioner is used in a place of severe environments.
(4) Before removing the positioner for maintenance or replacing unit parts after installation, make sure the supply pressure is shut off and all residual air pressure is released from piping.
(5) When the fixed orifice is clogged with carbon particles or others, remove the pilot valve Auto/Manual changeover screw (built-in restrictor) and clean it by inserting a ø0.2 wire into the aperture. If it must be replaced with new one, stop the supply pressure and remove the stopper screw of the pilot valve.
(6)     It is recommended to replace the pilot valve unit every 3 years.
(7) Check air leak from piping which compressed air flows. Air leak from air piping could deteriorate characteristics.
Air is normally discharged from a bleed port, but this is a necessary air consumption based on the construction of the positioner, and is not an abnormality if the air consumption is within the specified range.

Caution on Handling

Operation

Warning

  1. Do not use this positioner out of the range of its specifications as this can cause failure. (Refer to 1. Specifications.)
  2. If the system is supposed to be in danger because of failure of the positioner, prepare the system with a safety circuit to avoid danger.
  3. If the positioner is used as the product with Flameproof type of Explosion-Protection, leading external conductors into a flameproof terminal box in accordance with “Recommended Practice for Explosion-Protected Electrical Installations in General Industries”
  4. Do not remove the terminal cover at a dangerous position during power conduction.
  5. Be sure that the terminal cover and body cover are put on during the operation.

Caution

  1. Do not touch the actuator and operating part of the valve when they are pressurized. as this can be dangerous.

  2. Take care not to get your fingers caught during mounting or positioning the cam. Stop supplying pressure beforehand to release compressed air in the positioner and
    actuator.

  3. Be sure to operate the positioner with the body cover unit mounted.
    IP65 may not be satisfied depending on the body cover mounting condition. Apply correct tightening torque (2.8 to 3.0 Nm) to satisfy IP65.

  4. Flush the inside of the piping while connecting it so that foreign matter such as cutting debris does not enter into the piping.

  5. The opening degree of the actuator may be unstable if a booster relay is used.

  6. Make sure to perform grounding as a countermeasure against input current noise, to avoid malfunction due to noise and static electricity.

  7.  When a pressure gauge is used with the positioner, use it as a reference only.

  8. When frozen air is supplied to the internal mechanical parts of the positioner, the behaviour of the pressure gauge indicator will become unstable.

■For operators

Caution
Read and understand the operation manual carefully before assembling, operating or providing maintenance to the product.

Handling

Warning

  1.  Avoid giving impact to the body and torque motor of positioner, and giving excessive force to armature because it leads to failure. Handle with care during transport and operation.

  2. In an operating site with vibration, wrap the lead wires using a cable tie to protect them from damage.

  3. If the positioner is left unused at the operation site for an extended period, ensure the body cover unit is fitted, and mount a plug on the wiring and piping ports. If the
    atmosphere is of high temperature or high humidity, take measures to avoid condensation inside. The condensation control measures must be taken thoroughly for export shipment.

  4. Avoid to set positioner near magnetic field because characteristics are effected.
