The robust and compact positioner is designed with standardisation acc. to IEC

60534 - 6 - 1 or VDI/VDE 3845 (IEC 60534 - 6 - 2) for assembly onto linear and rotary

actuators. In addition, the variant with remote position sensor can be combined

with Bürkert process control valves for closed-loop control. The digital electropneumatic

positioner, SideControl, can be operated with all standard current and

voltage standard signals and can also optionally be equipped with the fieldbus

interface. The positioner is equipped with additional diagnostic functions to

monitor the valve. Valve diagnostic messages via status signals are issued in

accordance with NE107 (NAMUR) and recorded as historical entries. The diagnostics

can be used to monitor the operating conditions of the control valve which

makes maintenance decisions predictable and optimises the availability of the

plants as required. Operation occurs via the external operating and display module

consisting of a graphic display with backlight. For the user, this results in very

simple and clear operation, which is identical to the Bürkert ELEMENT 8692/8693

positioners and process controllers. The pneumatic actuating system can be used

equally for single-acting and double-acting actuators. It features a defined safety

response in the event of failure of the electrical or pneumatic power supply and has

an enormous air capacity range with pressure supply up to 7 bar.
