10. Compare actual backpressures with your setpoints in
PPC10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46, 50 as follows:
If Then
Actuals are greater than
setpoints by 20% or more
1. Decrease PLC44 by 10%.
2. Enter this new value into PLC data table.
3. Repeat the profile with steps 7Ć9.
4. Repeat these adjustments until actuals
just drop below setpoints.
Actuals are less than
setpoints by 20% or more
1. Increase PLC44 by 10%.
2. Enter this new value into PLC data table.
3. Repeat the profile with steps 7Ć9.
4. Repeat these adjustments until actuals
are equal to or greater than setpoints.
Actuals are less than
setpoints by 20% and PLC44 = 100%
1. Decrease PLC42 by 10%.
2. Enter this new value into PLC data table.
3. Repeat the profile with steps 7Ć9.
4. Repeat these adjustments until actuals
are equal to or greater than setpoints.
Test Valve Linearity with a Plastication Backpressure Profile
1. Change backpressure setpoints to 1/2 PLC44 (1/2 Max Control Limit)
in PPC10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46, and 50
(in N44:426, 430, 434, 438, 442, 446, 450, 454, 458, 462, 466).
2. Download the PLC and PPC blocks to the QDC module.
Important: If downloading from your programming terminal, you must
download PLC first, followed by PPC (chapter 4).
To download Set
PLC B21/13
PPC B21/14
3. Run an open-loop backpressure vs. position profile. Do this by
toggling DYC02-B08 (B34/408) from 0 to 1 to 0.
4. Compare backpressures reported in middle segments 5, 6, and 7 in
PPS26, 30, 34 (N44:730, 734, 738) with setpoints PLC26, 30, and 34.
Adjust Selected Pressure Valve, Output for Minimum as follows:
If actual backpressures are: And Your Selected
Valve is:
Then change PLC41 or 43
(N44:397 or 399) as follows:
Greater than or equal to setpoints Either one Increase PLC41 in 5% steps
Less than setpoints Direct Acting Increase PLC43 n 5% steps
Reverse Acting Decrease PLC43 in 5% steps
To do this, change PLC41 or PLC43 and repeat steps 2-4 as necessary.
