Samson Control Valve Positioner Type 3731-3 3730-2 3730-3 3730-4 3730-5 Digital Electropneumatic Positioners
The positioner ensures a predetermined assignment of the valve position (controlled variable x) to the input signal (set point w). It compares the input signal received from a control system to the travel or rotational angle of the control valve and issues a corresponding output signal pressure (output variable y).
Special features
- Electropneumatic positioner with HART® communication
- SAM DIGITAL READY
- Die-cast aluminum or stainless steel housing
- Attachment to linear actuators according to IEC 60534-6, VDI/VDE 3847, or SAMSON integral attachment
- Attachment to rotary actuators according to VDI/VDE 3845
- Attachment to double-acting actuators with Type 3710 Reversing Amplifier
- Integrated EXPERTplus diagnostics for control valves
- Any desired mounting position of the positioner (but not suspended)
- Simple one-knob, menu-driven operation
- Easy-to-read display in any mounting position thanks to rotatable reading direction
- Configurable with a computer over the SSP interface using the TROVIS-VIEW software
- Variable automatic start-up thanks to four different initialization modes
- Preset parameters, only values deviating from the standard need to be adjusted
- Calibrated travel sensor without gears susceptible to wear
- Sub (substitution) initialization mode allows the positioner to be started up in case of emergency whilst the plant is running without having to change the valve position.
- All parameters saved in non-volatile EEPROM
- Two-wire system with small electrical load of 410 Ω
- Adjustable output pressure limitation
- Adjustable tight-closing function
- Automatic zero monitoring
- Integrated temperature sensor and operating hours counter
- Two standard programmable position alarms
- Self-diagnostics
- Messages as condensed state conforming to NAMUR Recommendation NE 107, issued over a fault alarm contact or optional analog position transmitter
- DTM file available for integration into FDT frame applications according to specification 1.2
