Description of Equipment:
12.
General – The TROVIS 3730-1 Positioner is a single acting positioner for attachment to pneumatic control
valves. The positioner mainly consists of a non-contact travel sensor system, an i/p converter and the
electronics with the microcontroller. The valve position is transmitted either as an angle of rotation or a
travel to the pick-up lever, from there to the travel sensor and forwarded to the microcontroller. The PID
algorithm in the microcontroller compares the valve position measured by the travel sensor to the 4 to 20
mA DC control signal issued by the control system after it has been converted by the AD converter. In
case of a set point deviation, the i/p converter causes the actuator to be either vented or filled with air. As a
result, the closure member of the valve is moved to the position determined by the reference variable. The
pneumatic module is supplied with supply air and the flow rate of the module's output can be restricted by
software
Construction - The Type TROVIS 3730-1 Positioner mainly consists of the electronics part. The parts are
assembled in an enclosure made of aluminium die cast or stainless-steel die cast. The enclosure has a
cover with a polymeric inspection window. As an alternative to the polymeric material, the window can be
made from aluminium. The enclosure has an ingress protection rating of Type 4X and IP66
