Transfer characteristic between input signal
(position set-point value) and stroke
Characteristic (customer-specific characteristic)
This function can be used to activate a transfer characteristic with respect to set-point value (set-point position)
and valve stroke for correction of the flow or operating characteristic.
The transfer characteristic can be changed via the communications software only.
Factory settings: DIP switch 3 set to OFF (linear)
DiP switches Position Function
3 ON Correction characteristic for adjustment of the operating character-
istic (linearization of the process characteristic
CHARACT) 9)
OFF Linear characteristic
Table 18: DIP switch 3
The switching position of the DIP switches in the positioner has priority over the communications
software, i.e. settings of the correction characteristic (
CHARACT) which are changed via the communica-
tions software are not active unless DIP switch 3 in the positioner is set to ON.
Characteristics which can be selected via the communications software:
