Product Description

The TORLEO double-acting smart valve positioner uses nozzle-flapper technology and is compatible with pneumatic control valves equipped with double-acting cylinders (such as diaphragm control valves, double-acting ball valves, double-acting butterfly valves, etc.). It is widely used in the precise control of flow rate in the production processes of various industries, including petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, power, and papermaking.

The technical principle of the TORLEO smart valve positioner is to use an electrical balance (digital balance) principle instead of the traditional force balance principle. It converts the electro-control command into a pneumatic positioning increment to achieve valve position control; it uses digital on/off/close signals to drive the pneumatic actuator; the valve position feedback signal is directly transmitted through a high-precision position sensor, realizing the electro/pneumatic conversion function. The microprocessor in the smart valve positioner receives a 4-20mA setpoint signal and compares it with the actual valve position value fed back by the valve position sensor. If a deviation is detected, it immediately outputs an electro-control command (PWM digital method) to the nozzle-flapper I/P control unit based on the magnitude and direction of the deviation, thereby adjusting the air flow rate entering the actuator chamber, which means that the control valve converts the control command into a pneumatic displacement increment. When the deviation between the actual valve position and the setpoint is large (high-speed zone), the positioner outputs a continuous signal; if the deviation is small (low-speed zone), the positioner will output a pulse signal; when the deviation is very small (adaptive or adjustable dead zone state), there is no positioner output. At this time, the actual valve position reaches the setpoint, and the mechanism reaches a balanced state, that is, a certain set current corresponds to a certain valve position.

Problem |
Solution |
| 1 |
Current is given, but the LCD screen is not lit |
1) Check if the instruction line is reversed 2) Check if the current reaches the terminals of the board 3) Unplug the plug connected to the motherboard, if it is still not lit, the motherboard is broken, if the removed component is faulty after recovery |
| 2 |
There is an air leak sound outside the positioner after ventilation |
1) Check the connector 2) Check the air tube 3) Check the actuator |
| 3 |
There is a clear air leak sound inside the positioner after ventilation |
1) Check between the pressure gauge block and the positioner body, if so, tighten it, if it still leaks, reinstall the gasket 2) Check if the fixing screws of the IP are tightened, check the gasket under the IP 3) The IP may be leaking |
| 4 |
Exhaust is always accompanied when charging the actuator |
1) Suggest replacementIP |
| 5 |
After ventilation, no instructions are given, but charging is always givenOUT1Inflation |
1) Press and hold increase and decrease repeatedly in manual mode 2) Change IP |
| 6 |
The valve does not move in manual mode and the pressure does not increase |
1) Check for external air leaks 2) Try restoring factory settings 3) Change the positioner |
| 7 |
Manual valve movement, display position remains unchanged |
1) Check if the feedback rod is moving 2) Check if the potentiometer plug is plugged in 3) Check if the potentiometer rotates with the gear |
| 8 |
CALC_ERR |
1) Check if the valve is stuck 2) Check if the feedback rod is moving |
| 9 |
ZERO_ERR |
1) Determine the zero position of the positioner, and see if the horizontal deviation of the feedback rod is too large at this time |
| 10 |
NO_SCALL |
1) Check if the up and down times are sufficient 2) Check if the feedback rod is loose |
| 11 |
Tuning inSD6Immobile |
1) Check if the installation is reasonable 2) Check if the feedback rod angle is less than 60°, increase if less than 60° 3) Retune |
| 12 |
Poor control effect |
First determine whether the upward control is poor or the downward control is poor, modify the corresponding parameters to improve, generally inflation corresponds to P5_1, P5_3, P5_5 exhaust corresponds to P5_2, P5_4, P5_6 1) Overshoot: If it is inflation overshoot, first reduce P5_1, if it cannot be met, reduce P5_3 appropriately, otherwise modify the other group of corresponding parameters, modify about 50 each time 2) Undershoot: If it is inflation undershoot, increase P5_3 appropriately, otherwise modify the other group of corresponding parameters 3) Small amplitude oscillation: Reduce P5_5 and P5_6 by one third, if it does not work, reduce P5_3 and P5_4 4) If the problem persists, try readjusting. |

Control Deviation |
1) Check the instruction display accuracy; if the deviation is large, EnterP8the menu to recalibrate. |
