Badger Meter SRD/SRI Valve Positioners - Manual (Page 9)

Operation and Configuration
The local LCD enables a fast and easy configuration as well as
univocal diagnostic
• Local – with local key pads
• Display – Multi-lingual Graphic LCD, some versions with
5 LEDs
The positioner in the version with LCD contains three
different menu languages Standard menu languages are
English and German
Freely selectable third languages include French, Portugues,
Spanish, Italian, Swedish For the complete list, see
“Model Codes SRD991” on page 27
The third menu language has to be selected and specified
with the order, otherwise the standard is French
The third, freely selectable menu language can be modified
to another language by means of the VALcare DTM 2 The
additional languages can be downloaded from the PLF
selector on our website
Diagnostics
In the field:
• Status and Diagnostic messages via LCD
• Via VALcare or Valve Monitor DTM
4
• Service Management for planning and scheduling of
service intervals
• Histograms for displaying the position- and response-
history over time
• Partial Stroke Test for the functional inspection of safety
related actuators
• Hours in operation, cycle counter and travel sum of the
actuator are determined
• Surveillance of loop current
• Shows condition of device:
◊ Potentiometer
◊ IP Motor
◊ Exceeding range of actuator (possible indication for
wear of plug or seat)
◊ Remaining control deviation (possible indication
for jammed actuator, blocked valve stem or
plug, insufficient air capacity, supply air pressure,
positioning pressure)
If equipped with optional pressure sensors:
• Monitoring of the stem friction
• Histograms for displaying the friction-history over time
• Surveillance of air supply and output pressure, each with
display of physical value
Additional diagnostical possibilities in control operation by
means of optional external sensors
Service Plug and IrCom
All basic devices are equipped with a service plug "A" at the
front side There, via RS232 interface, a PC with VALcare (DTM)
can be connected via modem EDC82 (galv separa- ted,
not Ex)
If the SRD is equipped with option “IrCom” B , communication
can take place contactless via infrared with the positioner
(even with a closed cover!) A modem “IR Interface” (not Ex)
connected via RS232 interface to a PC with VALcare (DTM)
makes communcation possible up a range of approximately
0 5 m
(If the notebook has an IrDa interface, this cannot be used
despite being similar technology as IrDa instruction set has
no communication commands for positioners )
2) With the versions “Intelligent without communication” this is only possible with
modem EDC82
3) By means of “Additional inputs / outputs”
4) For the SRD991 without communication the use of the service plug is necessary to
have access at the diagnostic with DTM
