ABBElectro-Pneumatic Positioner TZIDC

functions and high operational reliability. Due to their elaborate 

structure and easy accessibility, the device parameters can be 

quickly adapted to the respective application. 

The total range of parameters includes: 

- Operating parameters 

- Adjustment parameters 

- Monitoring parameters 

- Diagnosis parameters 

- Maintenance parameters

3.1.1 Operating parameters 

Pos: 7.6 /Technische Daten / Datenblatt/Aktorik/Stellungsregler/TZIDC / TZIDC-200/Betrieb/Betriebsparameter @ 10mod_1176214346265_3101.doc @ 77343 

The following operating parameters can be set manually if required: 

Signal 

Signal min. 4 mA, max. signal 20 mA (0 ... 100 %) 

freely selectable for split-range operation 

min. range 20 % (3.2 mA) 

recommended range > 50 % (8.0 mA) 

Action (positioning signal) 

Increasing: Signal 4 ... 20 mA = position 0 ... 100 % 

Increasing: Signal 20 ... 4 mA = position 0 ... 100 % 

Characteristic curve (travel = f {signal}) 

Linear, equal percentage 1:25 or 1:50 or 25:1 or 50:1 or freely 

configurable with 20 reference points. 

Travel limit 

The positioning travel, i.e. the stroke or angle of rotation, can be 

reduced as required within the full range of 0 ... 100 %, provided that 

a minimum value of 20 % is observed. 

Shut-off function 

This parameter can be set separately for each end position. When 

the respective configured limit value is exceeded, the shut-off 

function causes immediate travel of the actuator until reaching the set 

end position. 

When the shut-off value is set to “0”, the position is further controlled, 

even in the respective end position. 

Travel time prolongation 

This function can be used to increase the max. travel time for full 

travel. This time parameter can be set separately for each direction. 

Important 

This function can only be used with the pneumatics with the 

safety function “fail-safe”. 

Switching points for the position 

This parameter allows you to define two position limits for signaling 

(see option “Module for digital position feedback”). 

Digital output 

The alarms generated in the TZIDC positioner can be polled via the 

digital output as a collective alarm. 

The desired information can be selected via the operator panel or 

remotely via the configuration program. 

The output can be set to “active high” or “active low”, as required. 

Digital input 

For the digital input, one of the following safety options can be 

selected. You may use the operator’s panel or configuration program 

to select an option. 

- No function (default) 

- Move to 0 % position 

- Move to 100 % position 

- Hold previous position 

- disable local configuration 

- Disable local configuration and operation 

- Disable any access (no local or remote access via a PC) 

The selected function is activated once the 24 V DC signal is no 

longer applied (< 11 V DC).

3.1.2 Adjustment parameters

The TZIDC positioner has a special function for automatic adjustment 

of the parameters. 

Additionally, the control parameters can be set automatically (in 

adaptive control mode) or manually to optimally adapt them to the 

process requirements. 

Tolerance band 

When reaching the tolerance band the position is considered as 

corrected. From this point on, the position is further slowly readjusted until the dead band is reached. The factory setting for this 

parameter is 0.3 %. 

Dead band (sensitivity) 

When reaching the dead band, the position is held. The factory 

setting for this parameter is 0,1 %. 

Actuator spring action 

Selection of the sensor shaft rotating sense (looking into the open 

case), if the valve is moved to the safe position by the actuator spring 

(actuator is depressurized via Y1/OUT1). 

For double-acting actuators the actuator spring action corresponds to 

pressurizing the pneumatic output (OUT2). 

Display 0 ... 100 % 

Adjusting the display (0 ... 100 %) according to the direction of action 

for opening or closing the valve.

Various functions for permanent operational monitoring are 

implemented in the TZIDC operating program. The following states 

will be detected and indicated, e.g.: 

- 4 ... 20 mA signal out of range
