1 Quick commissioning
CAUTION
Hazardous situation
▶ Risk of injury or damage possible.
● For correct commissioning, the product must be calibrated to the process valve via
the initialization process.
● During this commissioning, the valve is automatically opened and closed several
times. It must therefore be ensured in advance that this does not lead to a dangerous
situation.
NOTICE
Incorrect initialization
● Always carry out initialization without operating medium pressure on the process valve. Carry out initialization of the pro-
cess valve in neutral position (NO/NC).
NOTICE
● For delivery of the product assembled on a valve at the factory, the complete construction is already ready for operation at
a control pressure of 5.5 to 6 bar without operating pressure. A reinitialization is recommended if the plant is operated with
a different control pressure or if the mechanical end positions have been changed (e.g. seal replacement on the valve or ac-
tuator replacement). The initialization is retained even in the event of voltage cutoff.
NOTICE
● For delivery of the product without default setting (e.g. for delivery without valve) initialization must be carried out once for
correct operation. This initialization must be repeated every time that the process valve is changed (e.g. seal replacement
or actuator replacement).
NOTICE
Operating errors
● Prior to commissioning, familiarize yourself with the operation of the product.
The initialization is absolutely essential for the correct operation of the positioner and must be carried out once.
For delivery of the product pre-assembled on a valve at the factory, the complete construction is already ready for operation at a
control pressure of 5.5 to 6 bar without operating pressure - the positioner is in automatic operation. A reinitialization is recom-
mended if the plant is operated with a different control pressure or if the mechanical end positions have been changed (e.g. seal
replacement on the valve or actuator replacement).
The initialization is retained even in the event of voltage cutoff.
Prerequisites:
- Mounted to the valve.
- Air supply, max. 7 bar, connected.
- 24 V DC supply voltage connected.
- Set value and actual value signals need not be connected.
- For correct commissioning proceed as described in the following flow chart:
NOTICE
Tip for use
▶ During automatic initialization of actuators whose movement profiles are not continuous (i.e. with undefined stopping or
stalling, e.g. with large size butterfly valves), it may not be possible to clearly detect the end positions and unjustified error
messages may appear (for example LEAKAGE).
▶ Manual initialization with sequential movement through the menu by the operator or, if possible, acknowledging the error
message to repeat the step may help here (see “Manual initialization“, page 32).

to the externally
specified set value.
In the case of the "Process
controller" option,
this must be activated separately.
Automatic quick initialization:

The positioner adapts to the valve when automatic initialization is started (via the Start Init Valve parameter). Relevant paramet-
ers are independently and automatically retrieved. This procedure can take a few minutes, dependent on the valve. The initializa-
tion can alternatively be started via the Init Valve parameter in the Set Basics menu item.
If the message Init Valve Ok appears, the product is ready for operation and can be set to the desired operating mode. Further
information (see “Working level (Mode)“, page 39).

Initialization failure
▶ It may be necessary to close the internal positioner
throttles a little (V1 and V2 for single acting actuators
and V1, V2, V3 and V4 for double acting actuators) if the
actuator volume is very low, in order to increase the valve
travel time. This should be done only during initialization
in the adjTime program step. A modification to the
throttle setting independent of initialization may lead to
error messages and/or poor control results. It is therefore
recommended to carry out initialization again after every
change of throttles

15.2.2 Manual initialization

When manual initialization is started, the positioner goes
through an initialization program that is similar to the auto-
matic initialization. The various program steps must, however,
be started and confirmed by the operator during manual ini-
tialization by pressing the key.

Manual initialization should only be applied if the automatic
initialization does not achieve satisfactory control character-
istics or in case of problems (e.g. leakage).
The menu items goClose and goOpen should be executed
several times for very small valve strokes in order to ensure
an optimum adaptation of the positioner to the valve.
Emergency operation of the automatic control system is pos-
sible if at least the goClose and goOpen menu items are car-
ried out.
In order to prevent incorrect operation, the parameters from
manual initialization are only accepted when they comply with
the requirements for correct function.

¹⁾The fixed control function setting "DNO" should be used for valves with control function 8 (double acting with opening spring).
When using the "Auto DNO" setting, a deviating control function may be incorrectly detected during an automatic initialization,
and the initialization cannot be completed. The "Wrong Function" error message appears.
²⁾Fixed control functions (NC, NO, DA, Boost NC and Boost NO) must match in terms of the actuator's control function. An incor-
rect assignment may lead to faults and/or inverted action, and should therefore only be used if the correct control function is
known. In case of doubt, give preference to an "auto" detection.
³⁾On versions with 300 l/min flow capability (booster), double the number of pilot valves are installed and connected in parallel.
If, in these versions, a control function is set for simple pilot valves, this leads to a reduction in the flow capability.
⁴⁾A manual initialization should only ever be carried out if you have not achieved satisfactory control characteristics with the
automatic initialization or this was aborted due to an error message.

results. (see “Setting the throttle screws“, page 38)
The throttle settings should only be changed during initializa-
tion in the AdjustTime step. In this step, the currently meas-
ured travel times for both directions (open/close) are dis-
played next to one another for around 5 seconds. If these
times do not meet expectations, the initialization process
must be paused by pressing the Wait key in order to carry

out throttle adjustment. If the key is not pressed, the initializa-
tion process is automatically continued after around 5
seconds – if necessary even if the travel times are unfavour-
able. The process can, provided that the travel times are ac-
ceptable, also be continued directly by pressing the Next

key.
The throttles should be set in such a way that a constant
travel profile is achieved at the desired speeds. Travel times
of <1.0 seconds are not generally recommended. Experience
has shown that travel times in the range between 1…2
seconds lead to optimal control results. The times for the two
directions should ideally coincide (< ± 50 %).
If the throttles are adjusted during operation, a new initializa-
tion should be carried out so that the device can perform an
updated self-calibration with any conditions that have
changed. Otherwise this could result in negative control res-
ults and incorrect error messages.

The configuration level of the product is protected in certain areas by various codes against unauthorised changing of paramet-
ers.
The operating levels are pre-defined and intended for three different user groups:
- Level 3: All customer settings available and alterable, including the option of defining the physical (e.g. system installer, oper-
ator, manager).
- Level 2. Reduced customer settings available and alterable, specially reduced to the most important parameters for fault
clearance. Option of adaptation within the set physical (e.g. system manager or machine manager).
- Level 1. Customer settings are not available or alterable, only status information is shown.
All menu items are marked by symbols indicating their write and read protection.
Example based on r0w2 (read 0, write 2):
The following symbols are used for this purpose:
r0: no release required for reading

w0: no release required for writing
r1: lowest priority release code 1 required for reading

w1: lowest priority release code 1 required for writing
r2: medium priority release code 2 required for reading

w2: medium priority release code 2 required for writing

NOTICE
▶ Factory setting 0 means that all three codes are assigned 0. This means that all parameter menus are released.
Example:
If user level 2 is to be disabled, user level 2 and also user level 3 must be assigned a code.
NOTICE
▶ During activation or deactivation of the user levels via the RS232-interface, other codes can be assigned in the same way as
the direct input of codes via the product keypad.
▶ This ensures specific disabling of the use of the positioner either directly via the positioner or via the RS232-interface de-

Instead of the designation proportional band, the expression GEMÜ.
proportional-action factor Kp is used frequently. Conversion
of Xp to Kp is: Xp = 100[%]/Kp or Kp = 100[%]/Xp The Kp value
indicates how much the controlled variable x changes if the
correcting variable y is adjusted. Kp = ∆x/∆y = x2 – x1/y2 – y
In order to obtain a unit-independent relationship in the equa-
tion above, x and y must be divided by their respective max-
imum values (100%). In this case, a high Kp value results in
smaller deviation. However, if the Kp value is set too high, it
leads to an increased tendency for the control circuit to oscil-
late.
Proportional band Xp
The proportional band tells us the extent to which the con-
trolled variable x changes when the manipulated variable y is
adjusted. Xp can be used to adapt the controller amplification
to the controlled system. If a small proportional band is selec-
ted, it has a large manipulated variable y (e.g. 20 mA) as a res-
