shaft. This controller increment change the actuating pressure until the control deviation
becomes zero.
Pneumatic actuators are available in single and double-acting versions. Only one pressure
chamber is ventilated and depressurized in case of a single-acting version. The pressure
developed works against a spring. Two pressure chambers work against each other in case
of a double-acting version. When ventilating the volume of the one, the volume of the other is
depressurized.

3.5.2 Control algorithm
The control algorithm is an adaptive, predictive five-point controller.
In case of large control deviations, the valves are controlled using permanent contact. This
takes place in the so-called fast step zone.
In case of medium control deviations, valves are controlled using pulse-length modulated
pulses. This takes place in the so-called slow step zone.

Figure 3-15 Functional principle of five-point controller
Small control deviations do not send control pulses in the zone. This takes place in the so-
called adaptive dead zone. The dead zone adaptation and the continuous adaptation of
minimum pulse lengths in the automatic mode ensure the best possible control accuracy with
the smallest number of operating cycles. The start parameters are determined during the
initialization phase and stored in the non-volatile memory. The most important start
parameters are:
● The real actuator travel with mechanical end stops
● Actuating times
● The dead zone size
The number of fault messages, changes in direction and the stroke number are continuously
determined during operation and saved after every 15 minutes. You can read and document
these parameters using communication programs such as PDM and AMS. By comparing the
old values with the current ones, you can draw conclusions about the wear and tear of the
control valve. You can use the diagnostics function for this.
