The robust and compact positioner is designed for mounting on linear and rotary

actuators with standardisation according to IEC 65034 - 6 - 1 or VDI/VDE 3845

(IEC 60534 - 6 - 2) The variant with remote position sensor can also be used to

control Bürkert process control valves. The set-point value setting default for

the digital electropneumatic positioner SideControl BASIC occurs via standard

signals 4…20 mA and/or via bus as an option. A digital input and optional

analogue feedback are also available. The valve opening is qualitatively signalled

via a mechanical display element and the device status, via 3 coloured LEDs.

All operating elements are located inside the housing. Start-up is performed automatically

and the following functions are enabled directly on the device via DIP

switch: sealing threshold, inversion of set point signal direction, characteristic

selection, manual/automatic operating state switchover. Additional options for

configuration and parametrising, such as the linearisation of the operating characteristic

with the aid of a freely programmable correction characteristic, are available

using communication software. The pneumatic actuating system can be used

equally for single-acting and double-acting actuators. It is characterised by a

defined safety response in the event of the failure of the electrical or pneumatic

auxiliary power and possesses an enormous air capacity range at pressure supplies

up to 7 bar.
