Positioners
3730-6 - Electro-Pneumatic Positioner (HART)
Operation: Linear and Rotary (Independent of Fail-Safe Action or Moving Direction)
Travel/Rotation: Up to 300mm or 100o
Input: Single Multi-Turn Push Button
Display: Alphanumeric LCD with ability to rotate display 180o
Communications: HART and SAMSON TROVIS VIEW
Control: PD
Calibration & Tuning: Auto Calibration with Four Different Initialization Modes
The Type 3730-6 HART enabled electro-pneumatic positioner is an enhanced version of the Type 3730-3 with added pressure sensors that can work in general industrial applications. This positioner can work inherently with single-acting linear and rotary control valves as well as double-acting linear and rotary control valves with the addition of a reversing amplifier. The digital benefits of the Type 3730-6 provide self-calibration and automatic adaptions to the valve and actuator being controlled via 4 initialization methods. This digital positioner has preset parameters such that only values deviating from the standard need to be adjusted. With 50+ parameters and 30+ error codes, the majority of critical settings and information can be communicated. The HMI (human machine interface) of the single multi-turn push button and LC-display allow this communication of information to occur right at the unit. The potentiometer-based travel sensor of the Type 3730-6 is not susceptible to wear often found in gear-based travel sensors. The travel range of the Type 3730-6 can be restricted up to 1/5 maximum stroke as well as operated in split range.
