Partial stroke test reference step time

(PSTIN = Partial Stroke Test Initialization)
Measurement of the reference step time for the partial stroke test. After

the initialization of the device, the calculated (C = calculated) average

actuating time of the control valve is displayed in seconds in the form:

C ###.#. This time can be used as reference step time, however it is

only a rough guide value.
That is why it is recommended to measure the reference step time here

after the specification of the partial stroke test (parameters A1 to A5)

by pressing the Greater Than button for five seconds. In doing so,

“rEAL” is shown in the display. The device then automatically moves to

the set start position, performs the desired step and saves the time

required to do this. The time that is measured is the controlled

movement from start position to target position. After the succesful

measurement, this reference step time is shown in the display in the

form: “###.#” seconds.
If a reference step is attempted without previous initialization of the

device, “noini” appears in the display. If the start position cannot be

approached or if the jump destination cannot be reached, “Fdini“

(Failed PST Initialization) is displayed.

Factor 1
Input of the factor for the threshold 1 error message. The factor 1

refers to the reference step time. If a specified partial stroke test results

e.g. in a reference step time of 1.0 second and factor 1 is used in the

factory setting of 1.5, the threshold 1 error message of the partial

stroke test is performed for a measuring time of 1.5 seconds.

Factor 2
Input of the factor for the threshold 2 error message. The factor 2

refers to the reference step time. If a specified partial stroke test results

e.g. in a reference step time of 1.0 second and factor 2 is used in the

factory setting of 3.0, the threshold 2 error message of the partial

stroke test is performed for a measuring time of 3.0 seconds.

Factor 3
Input of the factor for the threshold 3 error message. The factor 3

refers to the reference step time. If a specified partial stroke test results

e.g. in a reference step time of 1.0 second and factor 3 is used in the

factory setting of 5.0, the threshold 3 error message of the partial

stroke test is performed for a measuring time of 5.0 seconds. At the

same time, if this time threshold is exceeded, the excitation signal of

the actuator is cancelled to prevent any sudden breaking free and

overshooting of a valve that might be jammed or rusted in place.
The partial stroke test is thus stopped immediately, a threshold 3 error

is reported and the actuator is moved back to its original position.
