AUMA power class for The switchgear used in the actuator controls (reversing contactors/thyristors) are
switchgear classified according to AUMA power classes (e.g. A1, B1, ....). The power class
defines the max. permissible rated power (of the motor) the switchgear has been
designed for. The rated power (nominal power) of the actuator motor is indicated in
kW on the motor name plate. For the assignment of the AUMA power classes to the
nominal power of the motor types, refer to the separate electrical data sheets.
For switchgear without assignment to any power classes, the actuator controls name
plate does not indicate the power class but the max. rated power in kW.

6. Operation
Different operation modes (states) are available. The current operation mode is
indicated in the first line of the display:
Figure 34: Example: Operation mode Off
This chapter describes the characteristics of the different operation modes; the
respective functions are described in separate chapters.
6.1. Operation mode Off
The selector switch is in position 0 (OFF).
Characteristics ● The indication in the top row of the display shows: Off
● Electric operation is not possible (not even EMERGENCY operation).
● The controls remain fully operative as far as signalling is concerned (controls’
power supply is maintained).
● Push buttons C can be used for menu navigation via the display.
6.2. Operation mode Local
Selector switch is in position Local control (LOCAL).
Characteristics ● The indication in the top row of the display shows: Local
● In motor operation, the actuator can be controlled locally via the push buttons
(OPEN), STOP, (CLOSE).
● Faults and warnings without automatic reset can be confirmed with the push
button RESET.
6.2.1. Push-to-run operation or self-retaining Local
Parameter Self-retaining Local M0076 determines the actuator operation behaviour
to operation commands via push buttons on local controls.
Customer settings M0041
Self-retaining Local M0076
Default value: OPEN and CLOSE
Setting values:
Off (push-to-run op.) Push-to-run operation activated, self-retaining off:
Actuator only runs in direction OPEN or CLOSE while an operation command is
being received. The actuator stops if the operation command is cancelled.
OPEN In direction OPEN = self-retaining (in direction CLOSE push-to-run operation):
After an operation command in direction OPEN, the actuator continues to run, even
if the operation command is cancelled (self-retaining). The actuator is either stopped
by the STOP command or if end position OPEN or an intermediate position OPEN
has been reached.
CLOSE In direction CLOSE = self-retaining (in direction OPEN push-to-run operation):
32
Actuator controls
After an operation command in direction CLOSE, the actuator continues to run, even
by the STOP command or if end position CLOSED or an intermediate position CLOSE
has been reached.
OPEN and CLOSE In directions OPEN and CLOSE = self-retaining:
After an operation command, the actuator continues to run in directions OPEN or
CLOSE, even if the operation command is cancelled (self-retaining). The actuator
is either stopped by the STOP command or if an end position or intermediate position
has been reached.
Direct reversal of operation is not possible. Operation commands in directions OPEN
or CLOSE must be stopped first by STOP command. Only then is an operation
command into the opposite direction allowed.
OPEN & CL w/o STOP In directions OPEN and CLOSE = self-retaining without stop:
Direct reversal of operation is also possible without the STOP command. However,
operation can be stopped at any time by the STOP command.
Information Hold down push buttons (OPEN) or (CLOSE) for more than 2 seconds to activ-
ate self-retaining, press STOP to reset the operation mode to push-to-run operation.
6.3. Operation mode Remote
Selector switch is in position Remote control (REMOTE).
Characteristics The indication in the top row of the display shows the set source of the operation
commands:
● Remote (parallel interface)
● Remote II (parallel interface, push button station)
Depending on the control, a distinction is made between:
● OPEN - CLOSE control (operation mode Remote OPEN - CLOSE):
Control is made via binary operation commands OPEN, STOP, CLOSE.
(or for activated Multiport Valve function via operation commands CW, CCW)
● Setpoint control (operation mode Remote SETPOINT):
Control via analogue operation commands, e.g. 4 – 20 mA.
Information ● Binary signals (e. g. +24 V DC) via digital inputs are only recognised as valid
operation commands if the signal is present for at least 10 ms.
● If a positioner or process controller is available, change-over between OPEN -
CLOSE control (operation mode Remote OPEN - CLOSE) and setpoint control
(operation mode Remote SETPOINT) is possible. Refer to chapter <Change-
over between OPEN - CLOSE control and setpoint control>.

moves to a predefined EMERGENCY position (i.e. end position OPEN or end
position CLOSED).
● As long as the EMERGENCY signal is present, the actuator does not respond
to any other operation commands (EMERGENCY signal has top priority).
The actuator can start immediately when switching on!

Risk of personal injuries or damage to the valve.
→ Ensure that the EMERGENCY signal is present when switching on.
→ Should the actuator start unexpectedly: Immediately set selector switch to pos-
ition 0 (OFF).

AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Basic settings for commissioning
7. Basic settings for commissioning

Definition Basic settings such as type of seating, torque and limit switching are required for
safe commissioning of the AUMATIC together with the actuator. Basic settings for
display, such as date and time or display formats, can be changed, if required.
7.1. Type of seating for end positions
Function ● Selection of the type of seating (according to valve manufacturer's specifications)
- Limit seating in end position
- Torque seating in end position
● For end positions OPEN and CLOSE, the following can be set individually:
Limit seating
The controls switch off the actuator in the end positions (OPEN/CLOSED) set via
limit switching.
For end position seating via limit switching, you have to account for the overrun of
the actuator. Overrun [1] is the travel from switching off until complete standstill. The
overrun depends on the inertia of both the actuator and the valve and the delay time
of the controls.
Figure 35: Limit seating
P Tripping position
[1] Overrun
Torque seating
The controls switch off the actuator in the end positions via torque switching.
For this the torque switching has to be set to the tripping torque specified by the
valve manufacturer. When reaching the end position, the torque increases within the
valve seat. As soon as the set tripping torque is reached, the controls automatically
switch off the actuator.
In this context, the limit seating is used to signal that the limit switching will trip shortly
before reaching the end position.
7.1.1. Type of seating: set
Valve damage due to incorrect setting!

8. Application functions
Definition Application functions are functions used to adapt the AC to special applications. This
includes device functions, communication functions and device information.
If they are enabled, these functions can be programmed by the user for his/her
specific task using parameters.
8.1. Intermediate positions (pivot points)
— Option —
Conditions The actuator is equipped with a position transmitter.

Characteristics ● With the AC, up to 8 intermediate positions (pivot points) can be set to any
value between 0 % and 100 % of the travel.
● Each intermediate position can be activated or deactivated individually.
● When reaching an intermediate position, a signal can be generated.
● A hysteresis can be defined for each pivot point.
8.1.1. Intermediate positions (pivot points): define
Each intermediate position can be set to a value between 0 and 100 % of the travel.
Intermediate positions M0143
Pivot points M0160
Pivot point 1 M0249
Default values: 0.0 % for all 8 intermediate positions
Setting range: 0.0 % (CLOSED) to 100.0 % (OPEN) of the travel
Information The pivot points also apply to the <Operation profile> function.
8.1.2. Signal behaviour of intermediate positions: set
Reaching a pivot point (intermediate position) can be signalled:

● via indication lights (LEDs) of the local controls or
● via output contacts
Each pivot point (intermediate position) can be assigned a specific signal behaviour.
Signal behaviour M0266
Signal behaviour 1 M0269
Default value: No signal
Setting values:
No signal Behaviour A: "Off", intermediate position is not signalled.
C________|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯O Behaviour B: Signal is active from reaching the pivot point (P) up to end position
OPEN (100 %)
C¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|_______O Behaviour C: Signal is active from end position CLOSED (0 %) until reaching the
pivot point (P).
C_______|¯|_______O Behaviour D: When passing the pivot point (P), a pulse signal is issued.

Actuator controls
AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Application functions
Figure 36: Signal behaviour (A to D) of the intermediate positions
Special characteristics of B, C and D

Behaviour of B and C: The signal is directly activated when reaching the set pivot
point (P).
Behaviour D: The signal is activated shortly before reaching the set pivot point (P).
The switch-on point is determined by pulse duration (+/– range around the pivot
point). Pulse duration depends on parameter Outer dead band M0148 and amounts
to 1.0 % of the travel for default setting.
Information For behaviours B and C, the signal might be omitted if, e.g when using a positioner,
pivot point (P) is not fully reached due to the dead band. In this case, behaviour D
can be selected as the dead band is considered.
8.1.3. Hysteresis for intermediate positions: set
The hysteresis determines the tripping point of the signal.

Example Parameter Pivot point 6 M0253 is set to 50.0 % of the travel.
Parameter Hysteresis 6 M0282 is set to 1.0 %.

Hysteresis M0267
Hysteresis 1 M0277
Default values: 0.5 % for all 8 positions
Setting range: 0.0 % to 5.0 % of the travel (from OPEN to CLOSED)
Information For signal behaviour D, the value XT (Outer dead band M0148 parameter) determines
pulse duration pT and influences switch-on point P1.
8.2. Operation profile (operation behaviour) for intermediate positions
— Option —
Conditions Function <Positioner>, parameter Positioner M0158 = Function active (Required

user level: Specialist (4) or higher)
Characteristics The function <Operation profile> can be used to define the operation behaviour of
the actuator when reaching an end position. Example: The actuator stops and only
continues its operation after another operation command.
This function is required in special applications to avoid water hammer, possibly also
in combination with the timer.
8.2.1. Operation profile: activate

Application functions M0178
Activation M0212
Operation profile M0294
Setting values:
Function not active Function <Operation profile> deactivated.
Function active Function <Operation profile> activated.
8.2.2. Operation behaviour for intermediate positions (pivot points): set
When reaching an intermediate position, the operation behaviour of the actuator

may be set.
Operation behaviour M0257
Operation behaviour 1 M0258
Default value: Off
Setting values:
Off No intermediate stop, actuator continues the operation.
Stop in OPEN ● Actuator stops at pivot point during operation in direction OPEN.
● Another operation command must be issued to resume operation.
● This function is not active in the operation mode Remote SETPOINT.
Stop in CLOSED ● Actuator stops at pivot point during operation in direction CLOSE.
Stop in OPEN & CL. ● Actuator stops automatically upon reaching the pivot point.
Off time in OPEN Actuator stops at pivot point during operation in direction OPEN. If an operation
command in direction OPEN is present at the end of the pause time, the actuator
48
Actuator controls
resumes operation into direction OPEN. If an operation command in direction CLOSE

is present during the pause time, the pause is interrupted and operation into direction
CLOSE resumed.
Off time in CLOSED When reaching the pivot point, the actuator stops during operation in direction CLOSE.
If an operation command in direction CLOSE is present at the end of the pause time,
the actuator resumes operation into direction CLOSE. If an operation command in
direction OPEN is present during the pause time, the pause is interrupted and
operation into direction OPEN resumed.
Off time in OPEN & CL. Actuator stops automatically upon reaching the pivot point. If an operation command
in direction OPEN or CLOSE is present at the end of the pause time, the actuator
resumes operation depending on the operation command.
Information The actuator stops for each activated intermediate position, for which operation be-
haviour Stop in OPEN, Stop in CLOSED or Stop in OPEN & CL. is assigned.
8.2.3. Off times for intermediate positions (pivot points): set

An off time can be defined for each pivot point.
Once a pivot point with the operation behaviour Off time in OPEN , Off time in
CLOSED or Off time in OPEN & CL. is reached, the AC generates the Operation
pause active indication during the off time.
Off times M0268
Off time 1 M0285
Default values: 1 s
Setting ranges: 1 to 1,800 seconds
8.3. Two-wire control
— Option —
Conditions Operation mode Remote (Selector switch = position Remote control).
Characteristics With the function <Two-wire control>, the actuator can be operated to end position
OPEN or CLOSED via a digital input.
Information In this function, the actuator only reacts to commands via the input OPEN / CLOSE.
Other inputs to which the operation commands OPEN, STOP, CLOSE were assigned,
do not have any function.
Execute operation commands via digital input:
Designation of digital input OPEN / CLOSE

(wiring diagram designation: OPEN/CLOSE
Default setting ● Input OPEN / CLOSE = low level (0 V DC or input open):
Actuator runs in direction CLOSE.
● Input OPEN / CLOSE = high level (standard: +24 V DC):
Actuator runs in direction OPEN.
Configuration of digital input
For the two-wire control, a digital input for the OPEN / CLOSE signal has to be
configured.
Required user level: Specialist (4)
I/O interface M0139
Digital inputs M0116
49
Actuator controls
Example Use input DIN 5 for signal OPEN / CLOSE:

Parameter: Signal DIN 5 M0122 = OPEN/CLOSE
Information The logic for the digital inputs may be inverted. Depending on the parameter setting
(e.g. Coding DIN 6 M0128), the input is either High active or Low active. Default
setting is High active.
8.4. Positioner (operation mode Remote SETPOINT)

— Option —
Conditions This function requires one of the following equipments within the actuator:
● Electronic control unit with MWG (Non-Intrusive version)
● Potentiometer
● Electronic position transmitter EWG/RWG
Further conditions for the positioner operation mode:
● Positioner enabled and activated.
● Operation mode Remote (selector switch = position Remote control).
Characteristics The positioner records setpoint position E1 and actual position value E2 for
comparison. Depending on the detected deviation, the actuator motor then runs in
direction OPEN or CLOSE.
Information ● If the actuator is controlled via a setpoint (e.g. 0 – 20 mA), the status indication
S0003 on the display shows both the setpoint position E1 and the actual position
value E2.
● If the status indication S0003 only shows the actual position value E2, OPEN
- CLOSE control is active: there is no setpoint control via the positioner. In this
case, you have to change-over to setpoint control first, refer to <Change-over
between OPEN - CLOSE control and setpoint control> chapter.
8.4.1. Positioner: activate

Activation M0212
Positioner M0158
Setting values:
Function not active Function <Positioner> deactivated.
Function active Function <Positioner> activated.
8.4.2. Adaptive behaviour: switch on or off
Adaptive positioning may reduce the number of starts and compensate for the overrun
of the actuator.
Positioner M0145
Adaptive behaviour M0147
Default value: Adaptive I
Setting values:
Off Adaptive behaviour switched off.
Adaptive I Adaptive behaviour for precise positioning (high positioning accuracy).
Due to the inertia of actuator and valve, the valve position changes only slightly after
switching off the actuator (overrun). The positioner determines the resulting error
50
Actuator controls
between setpoint and actual value for both directions and automatically adapts the
inner dead bands Xi and therefore switching point P2.
On the basis of the determined inner dead bands Xi and the set hysteresis
(parameters Positioner hyst. OPEN M0598 or Positioner hyst. CLOSE M0599), the
outer dead bands XT are automatically determined.
This reduces the error caused by the overrun after only a few operations and a high
positioning accuracy is achieved.
Figure 38: Positioner positioning behaviour
E1 Setpoint
E2 Actual value
P1 Switch-on point
P2 Switch-off point in OPEN direction
P3 Setpoint reached
XT Max. error (outer dead band)
Xi1 Overrun in direction OPEN (inner dead band OPEN)
Xi2 Overrun in direction CLOSE (inner dead band CLOSE)
8.4.3. Overrun (inner dead band): set manually

The inner dead band determines the switch-off point of the actuator and therefore
influences the overrun.
The inner dead band may be set individually for the directions OPEN and CLOSE.
Manual setting is only possible if the adaptive behaviour, parameter Adaptive
behaviour M0147 is switched off.
Positioner M0145
Dead band OPEN M0234
Dead band CLOSE M0235
Default values: 0.5 % for dead band OPEN and CLOSED
Setting ranges: 0.0 – 10.0 % for dead band OPEN and CLOSED
Information ● Inner dead bands may not be set wider than outer dead bands.
● Inner dead bands may not be set too narrow as this may cause unnecessary
switching procedures (premature wear) or oscillation of the actuator.
.
8.4.4. Max. error variable (outer dead band): set manually

The outer dead band determines the switching-on point of the actuator.
51
Actuator controls
The motor starts if the actual value (input signal E2) or a change in nominal value is
higher than the max. error variable determined by the outer dead band.
Manual setting is only possible if the adaptive behaviour, parameter Adaptive
behaviour M0147 switched off.
Positioner M0145
Outer dead band M0148
Default value: 1.0 %

Setting range: 0.1 – 10.0 %
8.4.5. Dead time: set
The dead time prevents the operation to a new setpoint position within a
pre-determined time.
Positioner M0145
Dead time M0149
Default value: 0.5 s
Setting range: 0.2 – 60.0 s (seconds)
Information It must be ensured via the controls that the max. permissible number of starts of the
actuator is not exceeded. This can be achieved by setting the dead time to a suffi-
ciently high value.
8.4.6. Hysteresis for positioner: set
The hysteresis determines the switching accuracy. It can be used to reduce the
number of starts for example.
This setting can only be made if the adaptive behaviour, parameter Adaptive
behaviour M0147 is set to Adaptive I.
Positioner M0145
Positioner hyst. OPEN M0598
Positioner hyst. CLOSE M0599
Default values: 0.5 % for OPEN and CLOSED
Setting range: 0.0 % to 5.0 % of the travel (from OPEN to CLOSED)
8.4.7. Closing fully/opening fully (end position tolerance for setpoint)
If the end positions cannot be reached due to inaccurate analogue setpoint signals
(0/4 mA or 20 mA), a tolerance for the setpoint within the end position range can be
set. If the tolerance is exceeded or not reached, the actuator continues the operation
until the full end position has been reached. This ensures that the actuator opens
and closes fully.
Positioner M0145
Tolerance CLOSE M0150
Tolerance OPEN M0151
Default values:
Tolerance CLOSE = 0.0 %
Tolerance OPEN = 100.0 %
Setting ranges: (in percent of the travel)
Tolerance CLOSE = 0.0 – 5.0 %
Tolerance OPEN = 95 – 100.0 %

Actuator controls
8.4.8. Setting range: limit

Travel can be limited in directions OPEN and/or CLOSE.
This prevents end position(s) OPEN and/or CLOSED from being approached in
modulating duty. The actuator stops when reaching the set limit value.
For OPEN - CLOSE control (LOCAL or REMOTE OPEN-CLOSE operation mode),
this limitation is not active. The valve can then be run into the end positions either
via the local controls or from remote.

8.4.9. Change-over between OPEN - CLOSE control and setpoint control
For actuators equipped with a positioner, it is possible to change over between OPEN
- CLOSE control (Remote OPEN-CLOSE) and setpoint control (Remote
SETPOINT).
Condition For the change-over, a digital input for the signal MODE has to be available and
configured.
Required user level: Specialist (4).

I/O interface M0139
53
Actuator controls
Example Use input DIN 1 for change-over:

Parameter: Signal DIN 1 M0118
Setting value: MODE (wiring diagram designation: MODE)
setting of MODE input is Low active.
Change-over via digital input MODE
Switching behaviour for coding Low active:

(Default factory setting)
● Input MODE = low level (0 V DC or input open) = Remote SETPOINT
The actuator reacts to a setpoint signal (e.g. 0/4 – 20 mA)
● Input MODE = high level (standard: +24 V DC) = Remote OPEN-CLOSE:
The actuator reacts to operation commands OPEN, STOP, CLOSE.
8.4.10. Input of setpoint position
The setpoint position is generally led via input AIN1, but can also be led via AIN 2.

High limit AIN 1 = 20 mA
Setting values: 0 ... 20 mA
8.4.12. Split Range operation
Requirements ● <Positioner> function must be enabled and activated:
Function In Split Range operation, a setpoint position E1 can be shared by up to three
positioners. A typical application example is a pipeline with a bypass. The actuator
mounted on the bypass reacts in the lower limit (e.g. 0 – 10 mA), the actuator on the
main valve in the upper limit (e.g. 10 – 20 mA). If the setpoint position is within the
setpoint range defined for the individual actuator, the actuator behaviour will be
identical to standard positioner operation. If the setpoint position is higher or lower
than the upper or the lower limit of the setpoint range of the respective actuator, the
actuator will run to positions OPEN or CLOSED.
The upper and lower limit of the respective actuator is defined via the analogue input.
(<Input range of setpoint position>)
In addition, the upper and lower limit of the total target value (valid for all actuators
grouped in a split range operation).

8.5. Process controller
— Option —
Requirements This function requires one of the following equipments within the actuator:
● Electronic control unit with MWG (non-intrusive version)
● Potentiometer
Further conditions for the process controller operation mode:
● Process controller enabled and activated.
● Operation mode Remote (Selector switch = position Remote control).
Characteristics The following figure illustrates the function of the process controller:
The process controller [2] receives the process setpoint E7 and the actual process
value E4 (e.g. from a sensor). On the basis of both values, the process controller
calculates the position setpoint E1 for positioner [3]. In turn, the positioner [3]
compares this target setpoint with the actual position value E2 of the valve and issues
the operation commands (OPEN - CLOSE) for the actuator.

Three controller types are available to ideally adapt the modulating behaviour of the
process controller to the respective application.
56
Actuator controls

Modulating behaviour M0887
Default value: PI controller
Setting values:
P controller P controller immediately reacts to a control deviation (i.e. actively) and amplifies the
input signal (error variable) proportionally to the set amplification. Setting parameter:
Proport. gain Kp M0744
Figure 41: Step response of P controller
P controller application For uncritical closed-loop applications allowing to accept continuous error variables
in the event of failures, e.g. pressure, flow, filling level and temperature control.
PI controller PI controllers consist of a P fraction immediately reacting to a control deviation and
an I fraction for chronological integration of the input signal (error variable). Due to
the additional time constant of the I fraction, the output value takes more time to
reach the target status (i.e. inertia of control loop response) whereas positioning
accuracy increases at the same time (lower control deviation). Parameters for setting
the time constant: Reset time Ti M0745
Figure 42: Step response of PI controller
PI controller application Quick control circuits not allowing continuous error variables, e.g. pressure,
temperature and ratio control.
PID controller Compared to the PI controller, the PID controller has an additional D fraction
accounting for changes in the error variable (change rate). The D fraction quickly
reacts to changes, even to minor control deviations with large output values.
Parameter for setting the D fraction: Rate time Td M0746

8.5.3. Setpoint source (input for process setpoint)
57
Actuator controls
Setpoint source M0743

Default value: I/O interface
Setting values:
I/O interface The process setpoint is defined via an analogue input (AIN 1 or AIN 2) of the I/O
interface.
Internal setpoint The process setpoint is generated internally via actuator controls: parameters Internal
setpoint 1 M0749 / Internal setpoint 2 M0750
Information To use internal setpoint 2, a digital input must be configured accordingly.
8.5.4. Behaviour on loss of process setpoint

Beh. setpoint failure M0747
Default value: Internal setpoint 1
Setting values:
Internal setpoint 1 In case of process setpoint signal loss, the actuator controls switch to the internal
setpoint 1. Parameter Internal setpoint 1 M0749
Internal setpoint 2 In case of process setpoint signal loss, the actuator controls switch to the internal
setpoint 2. Parameter Internal setpoint 2 M0750
Failure behaviour In case of process setpoint signal loss, failure behaviour procedure is activated.
Parameter Failure behaviour M0378
Last setpoint In case of process setpoint signal loss, the last available process setpoint will still
be used as setpoint.
8.5.5. Inverse operation
As standard, the valve is opened by the modulating actuator as soon as the actual
process value falls below the process setpoint. Depending on the process, it may,
however, be necessary that the valve closes as soon as the actual process value
falls below the process setpoint. In this case, the respective parameters are used to
set the process controller to inverse operation.
Inverse operation M0748
Setting values:
Function not active Inverse operation is deactivated.
Function active Inverse operation is activated.
8.5.6. Internal process setpoint
An internal process setpoint may be set with this parameter. The internal process
setpoint is used if:
● Parameter Setpoint source M0743 is set to Internal setpoint or
● Parameter Beh. setpoint failure M0747 is set to Internal setpoint 1 or Internal
setpoint 2.
Internal setpoint 1 M0749
Internal setpoint 2 M0750
Setting range: 0.0 ... 100.0 %
58
Actuator controls
8.5.7. Setting procedure
The setting of the process controller largely depends on the area of controller
application. A PI controller suffices for most applications.
Procedure 1. Operate the controller as PT controller, i.e. set the parameters as follows:
- Proportional gain Kp = 1
- Reset time Ti = 1,000 s
- Rate time Td = 0
2. Double proportional gain Kp until the control loop starts to oscillate.
3. Reduce proportional gain Kp to 60 % of the set value.
4. Decrease reset time Ti until the error variable equals zero.
8.5.8. Proportional amplification Kp: set
In the event of an error variable, the P portion immediately (i.e. actively) changes
the position value proportionally to the error variable.
If a small error variable already requires a major valve position adjustment, the
proportional gain Kp must be increased.
Information If the reaction is too extreme (overshoot), the value must be reduced. If the reaction
is too weak, the value must be increased.

Proport. gain Kp M0744
Default value: 1.0
Setting range: 0.1 ... 10.0
8.5.9. Reset time Ti: set
The reset time determines the I portion of the controller. The more inert a system,
the higher this value should be set.
Information ● Increase Ti in case of propensity for oscillation.

● Decrease Ti if the reactions are excessively delayed.
● Starting value for fast processes (e.g. pressure): 10 s
● Starting value for slow processes (e.g. temperature): 1000 s

Reset time Ti M0745
Default value: 1,000 s (seconds)
Setting range: 1 ... 1000 s
8.5.10. Rate time Td: set
The rate time determines the D portion of the controller. Typically, no setting is
required here (= 0), since actuator and valve – due to the operating time – cannot
react abruptly to a sudden occurrence of an error variable.
Information ● Increase Td in case of propensity for oscillation.

● Initial value for actuators: 0 s

Rate time Td M0746
Default value: 0 s (seconds)
Setting range: 1 ... 100 s

8.6. Stepping mode
— Option —
Conditions This function requires one of the following equipments within the actuator:
● MWG (Non-Intrusive version)
● Potentiometer
Characteristics ● With stepping mode, the operating time can be increased for the entire or any
portion of the valve travel.
● Stepping mode can be individually activated for the directions OPEN and

8.7. By-pass function
— Option —
Application The by-pass function is used, e.g. for district heating pipelines. Under high pipeline
pressure, the gate valve of the main valve cannot be used, pressure compensation
via by-pass valve is therefore required.
Function Two MOVs – one main valve and a by-pass valve – are linked via enable signals
Bypass Sync In and By-pass Sync Out. Operation commands can only be executed
if one of the two actuators sends the enable signal to the other. Release depends
on the end position. This ensures that only the following operation commands may
be executed:
● The main valve can only be operated in directions OPEN or CLOSE if the by-
pass valve is in end position OPEN.
● The by-pass valve can only be operated in direction CLOSE if the main valve
is in end position CLOSED. However, it can always be operated in direction
OPEN.

1) In case of an operation command in direction CLOSE, the "Interlock by-pass" signal is sent (no re-

EMERGENCY behaviour The emergency behaviour of the by-pass function has the same characteristics as
the <EMERGENCY behaviour> function with the following differences:
In an EMERGENCY situation, both controls receive the EMERGENCY signal at the
same time. This signal starts the EMERGENCY operation specially defined for the
by-pass function. (Parameter EMCY operation M0204 is therefore not available in
the <EMERGENCY behaviour> function).
EMERGENCY operation procedure
1. By-pass valve is opened first.
2. Once the by-pass valve is fully opened, the main valve is closed.
3. Once the main valve is fully closed, the by-pass valve is fully opened.

Default value: Main valve
Setting values:
Main valve Actuator for main valve.
By-pass valve Actuator for by-pass valve.
8.8. Lift Plug Valve (LPV)
— Option —
Application A "Lift Plug Valve" is a special valve whose closing element must first be lifted out
of its seat or locking position before being rotated for opening or closing the valve.
Locking of the valve and/or pressure relief prior to rotation of the closing element
can thus be implemented. Once the end position has been reached, the closing
element has to be lowered again. Such valves are in particular used for significant
pressure differences (pressure relief) and safety-related systems (locking).
Requirements ● Two actuator controls and actuators are required, one of them is considered
as master actuator (MA), the other one as slave actuator (SA).
● The actuator controls of the master actuator require an additional <Parallel in-
terface > I/O Interface 2.
Function Due to the special design of the LPV valves, they can only be operated in
OPEN-CLOSE duty (no modulating duty). For this type of duty, two actuators are
required which are operated as a master-slave-system with master actuator (rotary
movement) and slave actuator (stroke movement). However, only one actuator or
actuator controls is "visible" at the DCS, i.e. the slave actuator is completely controlled
and monitored by the master actuator. Communication between master and slave
actuator is performed via the additional <Parallel interface> I/O Interface 2.
64
Actuator controls
Figure 46: Schematic representation of the function of a Lift Plug Valve
The master actuator may generally only be operated in direction OPEN or CLOSE
if the slave actuator is fully opened. This is ensured by a signal of the slave actuator
to the digital LPV Sync In input of the master actuator as soon as the slave actuator
has reached end position OPEN. The slave actuator may generally only be operated
in direction CLOSE if the master actuator is in end position OPEN or CLOSED. This
is ensured by a corresponding signal of the master actuator to the digital LPV Sync
In input of the slave actuator. However, it can always be operated in direction OPEN.
If the master actuator receives an operation command for direction OPEN or CLOSE,
it will first send a command to the slave actuator for operation in direction OPEN.
Once the slave actuator has reached end position OPEN and sends the feedback
signal, the master actuator executes the requested operation command itself. After
reaching the desired end position, it will request the slave actuator to run to end
position CLOSED.

8.9. Multiport valve function (operation to position)
— Option —
Application For valves not equipped with end stops (multi-turn) and with up to 12 ports (multiport
valves)
Characteristics The multiport valve function allows to directly access a valve port (position) of a valve
equipped with up to 12 ports without stopping at any other port (position). Example:
Operation from position 2 to 4 without stopping at position 3.
In the operation mode Local, the set position are approached as directly as possible,
i.e. the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise) depends on the current
position of the valve.
In operation mode Remote, up to 10 positions can either be approached with a
defined direction of rotation (counterclockwise or clockwise) or as directly as possible.
The actuator then operates the valve with the defined direction of rotation or as
directly as possible to the defined valve attachment, irrespective of the actuator
position.
Information ● The multiport valve function is only permissible in combination with an AUMA
actuator and an AUMA gearbox.
● The output speed at the output drive (of the gearbox) or the valve should not
exceed approx. 0.3 rpm; otherwise positioning accuracy will decrease.
Procedure for commissioning a multiport valve
1. Set/check multiport valve parameters:

(generally, they are set in the factory prior to delivery)
- Actuator type
- Gear reduction ratio
- Number of ports (positions)
- Configuration of digital inputs
2. Define/check positions (of valve ports).
3. Set/check signal behaviour of positions.
4. Set home port (zero position).
5. Approach positions.

8.9.6. Positions (of valve ports): define/check
Each position can be set to any value between 0° and 360° (one full turn of the valve).
Information Prior to setting the positions, the home port must be defined (MPV home port para-
meter).
This corresponds to the zero position of the valve (0° or 360° of one full valve turn
as well as 0 % or 100 % of position feedback).
The positions of the valve ports have to be set afterwards.

8.9.11. Signalling behaviour of positions: set/check
Reaching of a point (valve port) can be signalled:
● via indication lights (LEDs) of the local controls or
(refer to chapters <Indications> <Indication lights>)
● via output contacts
(refer to chapters <Indications> <Assignment of outputs>)
Signal behaviour, this means the signal behaviour upon reaching a position, is set
via parameter Signal behaviour.

8.10. Automatic deblocking
— Option —
Requirements This function requires one of the following equipments within the actuator:
● MWG (Non-Intrusive version)
This function CANNOT be combined with the functions listed below:
● Lift Plug Valve
● By-pass function
● Operation profile
● If the setting range was limited for the positioner (parameter Limit setting range
M0845 = Function active)
For actuator controls in SIL version, we DISADVISE using the automatic deblocking
function.
Unexpected starting of actuator!

When using automatic deblocking with level-controlled operation command evaluation,
unexpected starting of actuator into the wrong direction might occur when trying to
eliminate a double-sided torque fault (torque faults in directions OPEN and CLOSE
are present at the same time).
→ Use automatic deblocking only in combination with edge controlled operation
command evaluation (parameter Com. eval. REMOTE M1709).
Characteristics In case of torque switch tripping in intermediate position (i.e. prior to reaching the
end position), the actuator automatically attempts to reach the end position by
operation into the opposite direction and executing the actual operation command
once again.
74
Actuator controls
The torque fault signal is suppressed during automatic deblocking. Should torque
switching trip again once automatic deblocking is complete, the actuator is switched
off and AC controls signal a torque fault.

Default value: 10 %
Setting ranges: 5 ... 30 % (percentage of operating time into opposite direction)
8.11. Heater system and heaters
Possible components:
● Heater system within the actuator controls
● Heaters within the actuator:
- Control unit heater in switch compartment
- Motor heater (within motor housing)
75
Actuator controls
8.11.1. Heater system within the actuator controls
The heater system is generally used for low temperature (in low temperature version
up to –60 °C). For an installed heater system, the other heaters (control unit, motor
heater) will also be connected to the heater system.
Wiring diagram designation: R5 H
Marking of variants within the wiring diagram code (position 11)
● B = 115 V AC or 230 V AC externally supplied
● C, E, H = internally supplied via actuator controls
The heater system is temperature-controlled. The heater system will automatically
be activated for a temperature range between –5 °C and –10 °C and ensures that
the temperature within the controls housing does not fall below –20 °C.
8.11.2. Heater on control unit (actuator)
Characteristics For AUMA actuators with AC actuator controls, a resistance type heater is installed
on the control unit (within actuator switch compartment).
The heater minimises condensation within the actuator switch compartment.
Marking within the wiring diagram code: position 11 = A – H
Information The proper function of the heater can be monitored. For further information, refer to
<Heater system/heater monitoring>.
Activate/deactivate heater on control unit
The heater on the control unit of the actuator can be activated/deactivated.

Activation/deactivation can either be permanent or automatically when
exceeding/falling short of defined temperature values. An electronic control unit
(MWG) is required for automatic setting.
Information If the heater is deactivated, heater monitoring is also deactivated (parameter Heater
monitor)!

Actuator M0168
Heater control unit M1338
Default value: On
Setting values:
Off Heater is deactivated.
On Heater is activated.
Auto Heater is automatically activated/deactivated by the actuator controls:
● For temperatures exceeding +40 °C within the switch compartment = deactivated
● For temperatures of less than +35 °C within the switch compartment = activated
8.11.3. Motor heater
The motor heater minimises condensation within the motor and improves the start-up
behaviour for extremely low temperatures.
Marking within the wiring diagram code: position 11 = D (motor heater externally
supplied), G (motor heater internally supplied)
76
Actuator controls
AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Failure functions
9. Failure functions
Definition Failure functions are started by certain events and lead to a defined action of the
controls or the actuator. A failure operation can be started by a manual action (e.g.
pressing an EMERGENCY stop button). In general, a failure operation is automatically
started by a fault signal from a monitoring function (e.g. loss of signal).
9.1. Reversing prevention time
Application Prevention of impermissible operation states such as: Operation command in direction
OPEN, actuator still runs in direction CLOSE due to the delay time.
Characteristics The reversing prevention time (off-time between two operation commands in opposite
direction) prevents a restart for a defined interval once the motor has switched off.
Parameters and instructions for setting

Switchgear M0173
Revers. prevent. time M0174
Default value: 0.3 s seconds
Setting range: 0.1 … 30.0 s seconds
9.2. Failure behaviour on loss of signal
Characteristics The failure behaviour can be used to define AC reaction to loss of signal or a defective
signal.
Only in operation mode Remote will the failure behaviour react to a signal loss. In
operation modes Local or Off, there will be no reaction.
9.2.1. Failure behaviour initiation on loss of signal

Failure behaviour M0378
Signal loss beh. M0379
Default value: Good signal first
Setting values:
Good signal first The <Failure behaviour> is only initiated if the monitored signal fails (falling edge).
This setting ensures that if the signal is missing, the actuator will not start when
switching on (Good signal first).
Immediately active The <Failure behaviour> is immediately initiated if the monitored signal is missing
(is not present).
For the setting Immediately active:

→ Ensure that the signal set under parameter Failure beh. source M0385 is present
when switching on.
ition Local control (LOCAL) or 0 (OFF).
9.2.2. Failure source (failure reason) for a failure operation: set

Failure beh. source M0385
77
Actuator controls
Failure functions AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2

Setting values:
I/O interface The failure behaviour is initiated in case of loss of setpoints.
The monitoring depends on the preset setpoint range, e.g.:
● Setpoint = 4 – 20 mA, E1 lower than 3.7 mA = loss of signal
● Setpoint = 10 – 20 mA, E1 lower than 9.7 mA = loss of signal
For a setpoint range of 0 – 20 mA , monitoring is not possible.
9.2.3. Failure operation (reaction of the actuator) on loss of signal
The failure operation determines which action is executed by the actuator once the
failure behaviour is initiated.
Failure operation M0384
Default value: STOP
Setting values:
STOP The actuator stops in the current position.
CLOSE The actuator runs to end position CLOSED.
OPEN The actuator runs to end position OPEN.
Approach position The actuator runs to the predetermined position. Conditions:
● The function <Positioner> is activated.
● Parameter Failure beh. source M0385 is set to I/O interface
Execute last CMD The actuator executes the last operation command before it is stopped.
If the last operation command was a setpoint definition via analogue input (AIN 1/AIN
2), the lower limit of the setpoint position is used (parameter Low limit AIN 1/Low
limit AIN 2). The actuator is operated to the defined end position, usually end position
CLOSED.
Behaviour depending on the selector switch position:
Once the failure operation is triggered, the defined position is approached. If the
actuator is then moved to another position (e.g. by manual operation), it will try to
perform the set failure operation while the selector switch is in position Remote
control (REMOTE).
Information To prevent a new approach to the failure position during manual operation, the se-
lector switch must be set to position Local control (LOCAL) or 0 (OFF) prior to
operating the handwheel.
9.2.4. Failure position: define
If the failure operation Approach position is set, the actuator moves to the failure
position indicated here.
Required access level: Specialist (4) or higher.
Fail.pos.OPEN CLOSE M0387
Setting range: 0.0 ... 100.0 % (from end position OPEN to CLOSED)
9.2.5. Failure position MPV: define
This parameter is only available in multiport valve version.
78
Actuator controls
If the Approach position failure operation is set, the actuator runs to the preset failure
position indicated here.
Failure position MPV M1172
Default value: 0.0 °
Setting range: 0.0 ... 360 °
9.2.6. Delay time: set
A failure operation is only performed once the delay time has expired. This prevents
a short-term loss of signal, which does not have an effect on the process, from directly
starting a failure operation

Delay time M0386
Setting range: 0.0 ... 1,800.0 s seconds
9.3. EMERGENCY behaviour
Application The EMERGENCY behaviour can be used to determine the actuator behaviour in
an emergency.
Characteristics ● The function <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated by the EMERGENCY signal.
● The actuator performs a defined EMERGENCY operation. For example, the
actuator moves to a predefined EMERGENCY position (i.e. end position OPEN
or end position CLOSED).
● As long as the EMERGENCY signal is present, the actuator does not respond
to any other operation commands (EMERGENCY signal has top priority).
● After initiating the EMERGENCY behaviour, binary operation commands (via
digital inputs) may have to be sent again.
● Analogue operation commands (e.g. 0/4 – 20 mA) are immediately executed
again.
Condition For the function <EMERGENCY behaviour>, a digital input for the signal
EMERGENCY has to be available and configured.
Required access level: Specialist (4).

I/O interface M0139
Example Use input DIN 4 for signal EMERGENCY:
Setting value: EMERGENCY (wiring diagram designation: EMERGENCY)
(e.g. Coding DIN 4 M0126), the input is either High active or Low active. For safety
reasons, the EMERGENCY signal input is generally set to Low active.

ition 0 (OFF).
Information EMERGENCY behaviour must be completely configured during first activation. This
means the setting of the following parameters must be adapted to the required actu-
ator behaviour in particular: Failure reaction EMCY EMCY failure source EMCY
operation mode EMCY operation EMCY position
9.3.2. EMERGENCY failure behaviour

EMCY behaviour M0198
Failure reaction EMCY M0203
Default value: Good signal first
Setting values:
Good signal first The <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated as soon as the EMERGENCY signal
changes from high to low. Example: In case of a binary EMERGENCY input from
+24 V DC to 0 V. This prevents the <EMERGENCY behaviour> from being initiated
immediately once the AC is switched on and no EMERGENCY signal is present.
Immediately active The <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated by a low level at the EMERGENCY signal.
For this setting, the EMERGENCY has to have a high level before switching on the
AC; otherwise <EMERGENCY behaviour> is initiated immediately after switching
on.
80
Actuator controls
For the setting Immediately active:

→ Ensure that the EMERGENCY signal is present when switching on.
ition 0 (OFF).
9.3.3. Failure source (failure reason) for an EMERGENCY operation: set

input. If this voltage (i. e. the signal) is no longer present, the EMERGENCY behaviour
is initiated.
Active interface If active interface fails, the EMERGENCY behaviour is initiated; e.g. when changing
the command source the failure source for the EMERGENCY signal also fails.
9.3.4. Operation mode for EMERGENCY behaviour
The EMERGENCY behaviour can be activated for the operation modes Remote
and/or Local
EMCY operation mode M0202
Default value: Remote only
Setting values:
Remote only EMERGENCY behaviour is active in the operation modes: Remote Remote II Fieldbus

● The EMERGENCY stop button is not available for the ACExC, but only for the
weatherproof versions of the AC.
Operation commands
After having unlocked the EMERGENCY stop button, a possibly active operation
command will NOT immediately be re-activated, but only respective acknowledgement
by the operator. This resets the EMERGENCY stop status.
The acknowledgement is made:
● via the RESET push button in selector switch position Local control (LOCAL).
● via a digital input from Remote. Assignment: RESET
9.9. Partial Valve Stroke Test (PVST)
— Option —
Characteristics The Partial Valve Stroke Test (PVST) is used to check the function of both actuator
and actuator controls. During this test, the function of the valve is tested by means
of partial opening or closing within a defined period of time without interrupting the
process. After successful testing, actuator controls operate the actuator to its initial
position.
If the test was not successful, actuator controls will generate the following signals:
PVST fault PVST abort For monitoring the PVST, these signals must be evaluated
by a PLC.
Requirements ● Position transmitter in the actuator
● Function <Positioner> activated.
● If the actuator is in safe state (caused by the failure behaviour), the test will not
be performed.
● The test can only be performed during OPEN - CLOSE control. For setpoint
control (modulating duty), a test cannot be performed.
For the change-over, a digital input for the signal Execute PVST has to be available
and configured.

AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Monitoring functions
10. Monitoring functions

Definition The monitoring functions signal a warning or a fault as soon as a certain value is
outside the permissible range. Faults generally cause an actuator shutdown.
10.1. Torque monitoring

Torque monitoring has the following functions:
● Valve overload protection against excessive torques (leads to switching off)
● Torque warning before overload protection tripping (only in combination with
electronic control unit in the actuator)
Overload protection
Once the overload protection trips (torque exceeds set tripping torque), the actuator
is stopped.
The controls generate a fault indication if:
● the excessive torque occurs between end positions
● the excessive torque occurs in the end positions and limit seating is set.
The fault indication is shown in the display
● Status indications: S0007 Fault or S0011 Failure
- Details: Torque fault CLOSE or Torque fault OPEN
The fault has to be acknowledged before the operation can be resumed:
1. either by an operation command in the opposite direction.
- For Torque fault CLOSE : Operation command in direction OPEN
- For Torque fault OPEN : Operation command in direction CLOSE
2. or, in case the torque applied is lower than the preset tripping torque after trip-
ping:
- via the RESET push button in selector switch position Local control
(LOCAL).
Depending on the version, tripping torques for overload protection are either set via
switches in the actuator or via software parameters in the controls. For the settings,
refer to <Torque switching> chapter.
Torque warning
Requirements Actuator with electronic control unit (MWG).
The torque warning can be used e.g. for self-monitoring or for anticipating
maintenance requirements.
Wrn torque CLOSE M0769
Wrn torque OPEN M0768
Default value: 80 %
Setting range: 20 ... 100 % of the set nominal torque
When exceeding the set limit values, the actuator is not stopped, however, the
controls generate a warning signal:
● Status indications: S0005 Warnings or S0008 Out of specification
- Details: Torque wrn CLOSE or Torque wrn OPEN
Torque by-pass
By means of the torque by-pass, the torque monitoring is deactivated for a defined
(short) time. During this interval, the full actuator torque may be used, for example,
to release the actuator from a jammed end position or any other jammed position.

Setting values:
Function active The torque by-pass is activated.
Function not active The torque by-pass is deactivated.
Time interval for torque by-pass
During the time interval set here, the torque monitoring is deactivated.
Torque by-pass [s] M0205
Setting range: 0.0 ... 5.0 s seconds
Information If torque by-pass is activated, the interval should be longer than the set time period
for reversing prevention time to ensure torque by-pass will also be effective in the
event of reversal of operation.
10.2. Motor protection monitoring (thermal monitoring)

In order to protect against overheating and impermissibly high temperatures at the
actuator, PTC thermistors or thermoswitches are embedded in the motor winding.
The thermoswitch is tripped as soon as the max. permissible winding temperature
has been reached.
The actuator is switched off and the following signals are given:
● LED 3 (motor protection trippped) on the local controls is illuminated.
● Status indication: S0007 Fault or S0011 Failure
- Details: Thermal fault
The motor has to cool down before the operation can be resumed.
Depending on the parameter setting (motor protection behaviour), the fault signal is
either automatically reset or the fault signal has to be acknowledged manually.
Manual acknowledgement can be made:
● in selector switch position Local control (LOCAL) via push button RESET.
● in selector switch position Remote control (REMOTE) via a digital (I/O interface)
with the RESET command if a digital input is configured for signal.
In addition, the AC cyclically (once per day) checks the motor protection monitoring
for its proper function. If this check fails, the controls generate the fault indication:
IE mot. prot. monitor
Motor protection behaviour

Actuator M0168
Motor prot. mode M0169
Default values:
Non-explosion-proof actuators = Auto
94
Actuator controls
Explosion-proof actuators = Reset

Setting values:
Auto Automatic reset after the motor has cooled down.
Not possible for explosion-proof version ACExC 01.2
Reset Manual reset.
Once the motor has cooled down, the fault has to be acknowledged (reset) manually
as described above.
If required the thermal overload relay has to be reset manually. To this end, remove
the cover on the back of actuator controls and operate the reset button on the thermal
overload relay.
10.3. Type of duty monitoring (motor starts and running time)
This function monitors the permissible type of duty (e.g. S2 - 15 min) of the actuator.
For this, controls monitor possible excess of
● permissible motor starts (cycles) per hour
● permissible running time (on-time) per hour
If any of these values has been exceeded, the actuator will however not be stopped,
but the following warning signals are issued.
● Status indications: S0005 or S0008
- Details: Wrn on time starts
● Status indications: S0005 or S0008
- Details: Wrn on time running
The warning signals will automatically be cleared if the permissible motor starts per
second or the permissible running time per hour are no longer reached.
The operational info logger records the number of excesses (warnings) as well as
the number of motor starts and motor running times.
Asset Management M1231
Operational info M0177
On time warning 1 M0325 contains total number of all on time warnings.
On time warning 2 M0326 contains maximum duration of on time warning
Example: Due to excess of defined starts/h or defined running time/h, the AC issues in total 4
on time warnings: two for 5 min, once for 10 min, once for 17 min. Afterwards the
operating data counters contain the following values:
On time warning 1 M0325 = 37 min = total of all periods (5+5+10+17 min)

10.4. Operating time monitoring
This function allows the monitoring of the operating time of the actuator. If the actuator
needs longer than the set time to move from end position OPEN to end position
CLOSED, a warning is signalled (the actuator is not stopped):
● Status indication S0005 Warnings
- Details: Op. time warning
The warning indication is automatically cleared once a new operation command is
executed.
When the actuator moves from an intermediate position to an end position, the set
monitoring time for the whole stroke is assigned in relation to the remaining
stroke/travel.

10.5. Reaction monitoring
The AUMATIC monitors whether the actuator moves after an operation command.
If no reaction is recorded at the output drive of the actuator within a set time, either
a warning or a fault signal is generated depending on the setting:
● Status indications: S0005 Warnings or S0008 Out of specification
- Details: Wrnn no reaction
● Status indications: S0007 Fault or S0011 Failure
- Details: Fault no reaction
In the event of a fault signal, the fault has to be acknowledged to be able to resume
the operation. The acknowledgement is made:
● in selector switch position Local control (LOCAL) via push button RESET.
● in selector switch position Remote control (REMOTE) via a digital (I/O interface)
with the RESET command if a digital input is configured for signal.
In case of operation from an intermediate position, reaction monitoring will only be
performed if the actuator is equipped with a position feedback.

10.10. Verification of sub-assemblies
Conditions ● Actuators of the type range SA 07.2 – SA 16.2/SAR 07.2 – SAR 16.2
● MWG position transmitter in actuator
Characteristics The controls verify whether sub-assemblies mounted in actuators and controls
correspond to the desired version.
In case incorrect sub-assemblies are mounted or if sub-assemblies are missing the
controls either send a warning or a fault signal.
For detailed information on this indication refer to <Fault signals and warnings>
chapter.

Actuator controls
10.11. Phase failure monitoring

Conditions: Phase failure monitoring is only valid for connections to 3-phase AC power supplies.
For versions with 1-phase AC or DC, phase failure monitoring is not possible.
Characteristics The AUMATIC monitors phase L2. If phase L2 is missing for a certain time interval,
the AUMATIC still can send and receive signals and generates a fault indication.
Since the AUMATIC is supplied via phases L1 and L3, the two phases cannot be
monitored. In case L1 or L3 fails, the AUMATIC is inoperable and the actuator stops.
Information In case of phase L2 loss during motor operation, this does not necessarily lead to
an immediate standstill of the actuator.The reason is that the rotating motor generates
the missing phase itself. This leads, however, to a reduction of the motor output
torque. If the torque is sufficient for valve operation, the missing phase L2 is only
detected when switching off (e.g. in an end position) and the fault signal Phase fault
is generated.
Configuration of the tripping time

Phase monitoring M0170
Tripping time M0172
Setting range: 1.0 – 300.0 s
Information Faults in supply voltage (e.g. voltage drops) do not generate a fault signal during the

10.12. Phase sequence detection and correction of the direction of rotation

Conditions: The phase sequence detection is only valid for connections to 3-phase AC power
supplies. For versions with 1-phase AC or DC, phase sequence detection is not
possible.
Characteristics Exchanging any two phase conductors in the 3-phase mains changes the direction
of phase rotation. Should the phases L1, L2 and L3 be connected in the wrong
sequence, this is detected and corrected by the AUMATIC, preventing the actuator
from turning into the wrong direction.

12.1. Direction of rotation
Characteristics This function allows changing the direction of rotation for actuator with 3-phase AC
motors.
The direction of rotation indicates the direction into which the drive shaft rotates
around its own axis. The view is on the top of the actuator. Distinction is made
between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation.
Information ● When changing from clockwise closing to counterclockwise closing or vice

versa, only the direction of rotation of the motor is changed. The change-over
requires further action:
- The wiring diagram designation is marked on the AUMATIC name plate.
In case of a change, a new name plate with the new wiring diagram number
has to be requested from AUMA.
- The wiring diagram number is stored in the electronic device ID (parameter
Wiring diagram actuator M0060). The ID has to be adapted to the new
designation once the conversion is complete.
- The actuator mounted to the controls must be configured for the set direc-
tion of rotation. Subsequent conversion from clockwise closing to counter-
clockwise closing is possible using an AUMA conversion kit.
Parameters and instructions for setting
Setting the direction of rotation using parameters is only possible for actuators with
electronic control unit/MWG (Non-intrusive version).
Valve damage due to incorrect direction of rotation!

→ For 3-phase AC motors, the rotation direction of the actuator must match the
rotation direction of the valve.

The <Asset Management> function provides information (operational data, signals,
reports and characteristics), which can be used within an Asset Management System
but also generally for support during commissioning, maintenance or corrective
action.
14.1. Operating data
Operating data provides details e.g. about the running time, the number of starts,
number of torque faults etc.
The analysis of this data provides valuable information regarding the optimization of
both actuator and valve. When using this information purposefully, actuator and valve
will be carefully operated, e.g. through appropriate parameter setting. In case of
faults, the logging of operating data allows for quick fault diagnostic.

14.5. Maintenance (information and signals)
Characteristics AC actuator controls monitor various parameters set in the factory which have an
impact on the wear of the actuator. Once one of these parameters exceeds a
determined limit, actuator controls generate a signal:
● Status indication: S0005 Warnings (AUMA category)
- Details: Maintenance required
● Status indication: S0010 Maintenance required (NAMUR category)
- Details: shows the parameter(s) for which the limit was exceeded, causing
the Maintenance required signal.
Apart from the parameter monitoring preset in the factory (MT lifetime
mechanics/O-rings/lubricant/contactors), a fixed maintenance interval can additionally
be configured, triggering the same signal when exceeding the configured time.
The current maintenance status of the monitored parameters is represented in a bar
chart.
Once maintenance is complete, the parameter initiating maintenance must be reset
to zero.
Application Maintenance on demand, i.e. the function can be used to perform maintenance
depending on the intensity and load of the actuator.
