10.4.3.3 Description of parameter C
C.
LEAK - pneumatic leakages
Use this parameter to activate the pneumatic leakage test. This test can be used to
determine possible pneumatic leakages. Depending on the direction, changes in the position
and the internal manipulated variable used for it are continuously recorded and filtered for
this purpose. The filter result is used to form an indicator, which allows drawing a conclusion
about a possible leakage.
NOTICE
Accuracy of results
Note that this test delivers unambiguous results only in the case of single-acting, spring-
loaded actuators.
Set the "On" parameter value to activate the test. Sub-parameters are displayed. Sub-
parameters are described below.
The current value is displayed in the "15 ONLK" diagnostics parameter. The positioner
triggers a fault message if the current value exceeds one of the three configurable limit
thresholds.
The factory setting is "OFF".
C1.LIMIT - limit of the leakage indicator
Use this sub-parameter to set the limit of the leakage indicator in percent. Set the limit in a
range from "0.1" to "100.0". There is no leakage if the limit is less than "30.0".
Utilize the complete sensitivity of the leakage detection as follows:
1. After initializing the positioner automatically, use a calibration device to initiate a ramp
movement.
2. Conditions for the ramp movement:
– The ramp must cover the normal operating range of the valve.
– The steepness of the ramp must match the dynamic requirements of the
corresponding application.
3. During the ramp movement, the "15 ONLK" diagnostics parameter provides information
about the actual values. Define the limit of the leakage indicator accordingly.
The positioner triggers a fault message if the current value exceeds one of the three
configurable limit thresholds. How to set the three limit thresholds is described below.
The factory setting is "30.0".
