Working Principle
The ABB V18348-10114300110 TZIDC-200 Digital Positioner operates using an intelligent closed-loop control method.
The operating process includes:
- The control system sends a valve position command.
- The positioner receives the electrical input signal.
- The internal controller processes the command data.
- The actual valve position is measured through the feedback mechanism.
- The controller compares the required position with the actual position.
- The pneumatic output pressure is adjusted automatically.
- The actuator moves the valve to the required position.
- The system continuously corrects any position deviation.
This closed-loop operation provides accurate valve control and improves process stability under different operating conditions.
