Basic Flow Control
When the process variable signal is below set point, the controller increases current (4 to 20mA) to the
actuator input and opens the valve. Controller set point governs valve position to obtain desired flow
rate.

Proportional Flow using Multiple Actuators
Refer to flow diagram in Figure 18 and interconnection diagrams in Figure 19. The controller governs
flow rate in one burner. Only that flow is measured. Since #2 and #3 motor positions receive the same
signal as #1 motor positioned, valves #2 and #3 will deliver the same amount of fuel. This is true when
the span and zero adjustment are all set the same as in curve 2 of the graph. Other relationships between
units exist if the span adjustment (3) for ratio or if the zero adjustment is changed (1) for bias.
