RTX-IOM-PRODUCT-YY Page 14 of 131

www.rotexautomation.com
• Feedback sensors
a. It has built in feedback sensor.
b. Preciservo operates with adaptive dual PID loop and ensures high accuracy, lower dead band
and extremely steady performance of positioner, Primary loop is controlling the spool position
of the Preciservo and secondary loop is controlling the actual position.
c. Dual PID loops eliminate overshoot, undershoot, hysteresis and “hunting”. ROTEX
POSIDAPT can maintain a steady state and set point with the highest degree of confidence.
d. Preciservo has metal to metal contact ensuring low friction and high sensitivity.
e. Precise manufacturing assures negligible hysteresis and dead band.
f. ROTEX Preciservo valve can vary the orifice due to primary PID loop. Hence different sizes
of actuators can be calibrated without the need of flow control valves or volume booster.
g. ROTEX Preciservo has built in self health check, ensures best performance and reliability
during calibration and testing.

• Communication
a. ROTEX POSIDAPT is compatible with Foundation fieldbus, Profibus and HART version 5 &
7.
b. It is also compatible with DTM framework version 1.2.1
c. DTM and EDD based on multi-system support configuration.

• Remote mounting
a. Remote mounting is possible with a non-contact feedback.
b. It is ideal for extreme environments and harsh conditions – high temperature, vibration,
frequency or difficult to reach locations.
c. Remote mounting cables with lengths of 3m, 5m, 7m and 10m available as standard. Special
version up to 30m is available on request.

• Diagnostics
a. Self diagnostics available with errors and recommendations.
b. Alarm based on different threshold.
c. On screen notification up to last 3 alarms or errors.
d. It can record data history for 25 years based on averaging method.
e. Monitoring parameters can be configured with three different threshold levels.
f. Each threshold level can be classified based on severity and generates a digital feedback
signal, once triggered.
g. Colour code represents nature of severity (can be communicated on HART to control system)
this enables users to take necessary preventive action.

Average Deviation of Set point
Applicable for Posidapt – Super and Ultra

Average set point is updated whenever the set point changes and the valve are expected to
move accordingly. Updating continues throughout the valve movement and is switched back
to Steady State when both set point and valve position have reached a steady state. Record
daily average deviation in percentage for past 24 hours, 30 days, 12 month and corresponding
years.

8.4.3. Valve Offline Test
Step Response Test

• Step response test provides information about the friction of the valve and the actuator.
• It provides dead time (time required for the valve to respond to the given change of set
point), response time for it to reach 63% and 86% of the specified step change.
• It also detects overshoots, if any.
• The result can be compared over the course of time for detailed analysis.

Dynamic Loop Test

• Dynamic loop test provides information on dynamic dead band of the valve assembly.
• The valve will be open or close with the change in the input set point.

Valve Characteristic Test

• Valve characteristic test is a method which identifies various parameters and operating
conditions of the valve assembly.
• It analyses the static and dynamic condition of the valve.
• This data can be compared over the course of time to analyse maintenance or repair
requirements.

Dead-band Test

• Dead band test identifies how accurately the valve can achieve the desired set point.
• This test can give a fair conclusion on stiction and sensitivity of the assembly.
