Electronic position transmitter

RWG 4020
RWG 5020 Ex

Technical Information
 Features of the electronic position transmitter RWG
Application
If a continuous feedback signal of the
valve position is required, an elec-
tronic position transmitter RWG can
be used. The signal may be transmit-
ted to
l a remote position indicator
l an external positioner
l an integral positioner (actuators
for modulating service with motor
controls AUMA MATIC)
Two versions are available:
l RWG 4020
l RWG 5020 Ex (explosion proof)
The electronic position transmitter
provides a continuous current signal,
which corresponds to the actual
valve position.

Areas of application
The electronic position transmitter
can be employed in the following

ators:

The version RWG 5020 Ex is intrinsi-
cally safe and can be operated as a
2-wire system in hazardous areas.

Electronic board
Function & features
The electronic position transmitter
continuously monitors the valve
travel. The valve movement is trans-
mitted via a reduction gearing1)
within the actuator to a high quality
precision potentiometer. In the elec-
tronic board the feedback is con-
verted into an analogue current sig-
nal, whose range may be set to 0 -
20 mA or 4 - 20 mA.
1) The reduction gearing must be selected
to suit the valve travel i.e. number of
turns or amount of swing angle.
A slip clutch protects the position
transmitter from being damaged, in
the event of the potentiometer’s max.
rotation being exceeded.
In multi-turn actuators for modulating
duty, the slip clutch is additionally fit-
ted with a spring to minimise back-
lash.
On-line setting with integrated
measuring points
Measuring points on the electronic
board allow the connected RWG to
be adjusted without having to take it
out of circuit.
Settings
Zero and span can be adjusted inde-
pendently at the electronic board via
trimmer potentiometers, which are
easily accessible in the control unit.

 Settings and adjustment

Settings and adjustment

The electronic position transmitter is
set at the factory according to the sig-
nal range specified by the customer.
For subsequent adjustments, e.g.
with an indicator instrument, the set-
ting instructions below have to be fol-
lowed.
After mounting the actuator to the
valve or during commissioning, the
setting has to be checked and read-
justed, if necessary.
Specific safety instructions as appli-
cable for such equipment must be
observed.

Setting for 2-wire system 4 - 20 mA and 3-/4-wire
system 0 - 20 mA
1. Move valve to end position CLOSED.
2. Remove cover plate.
3. Connect ammeter for 0 - 20 mA to measuring
points. In end position CLOSED for 3- and 4-wire
system value is normally 0 mA, for 2-wire system
4 mA.
4. Turn potentiometer (R2) clockwise to initial posi-
tion. Turn potentiometer (R2) whilst observing a
decreasing output signal until stop is felt.
5. Turn trimmer potentiometer (N) clockwise, until
output current starts to increase.
6. Turn back trimmer potentiometer (N), until a resid-
ual current of approx. 0,1 mA (or 4,1 mA in the
case of a 2-wire system) is obtained. This ensures
that the signal remains above the dead and live
zero point.
7. Move valve to end position OPEN.
8. Set to end value 20 mA with trimmer potentiome-
ter (M).
9. Approach end position CLOSED anew and check
minimum value (0 mA or 4 mA). If necessary,
readjust.
10. Refit cover plate.
11. Clean sealing face, check O-Ring, apply a thin film
of non-acidic grease to sealing face.
12. Fit and fasten switch compartment cover.
Setting for 3- and 4-wire system 4 - 20 mA
1. Move valve to end position CLOSED.
2. Remove cover plate.
3. Connect ammeter to measuring points.
4. Turn potentiometer (R2) clockwise to initial posi-
tion. Turn potentiometer (R2) whilst observing a
decreasing output signal until stop is felt.
5. Turn trimmer potentiometer (N) clockwise, until
output current starts to increase.
6. Turn back trimmer potentiometer (N), until a resid-
ual current of approx. 0,1 mA is obtained.
7. Move valve to end position OPEN.
8. Set to end value 16 mA with trimmer potentiome-
ter (M).
9. Move valve to end position CLOSED.
10 Set trimmer potentiometer (N) to initial value
4 mA. This results in a simultaneous shift of the
end value by 4 mA so that the range is now 4 -
20 mA
11. Approach both end positions anew and check set-
ting. If necessary, readjust.
12. Refit cover plate.
13. Clean sealing face, check O-Ring, apply a thin film
of non-acidic grease to sealing face.
14. Fit and fasten switch compartment cover.
