can we use a control valve without positioner

Answer Posted / kuntal nayek

Yes we can use control valves without positioner.

But it will be risky as we would not able to know the
feedback that valve is working properly or not.
Normally position feedback is used to get the actual
position of the valves it is not used to control the valves.
To control a control valves we needed the process value that
usually called PV..that may be pressure, flow etc which we
could get from the transmitters or any other instruments.
According to PV controller generate corrected signal (ie.
Setpoint - Process value = error)in terms of 4-20mA.

In control valve proximity inductive sensor is taken as digital feedback for full open and full close.Normally its volts 24v when the sensor acts the feed back voltage 14v so that our relay not indicating in plc panel . kindly give the solution.

We Have Two Field bus Pressure Transmitters of Different Sensor Range (I.E One is of Lower range and Another is of Higher Range).Is same Process Line. My Question is Can i provide Saturation Limit to my field Bus Transmitter as We can provide Saturation current limit to HART Instruments. As During Low Pressure Both Working OK ,But During High Pressure, transmitter with Lower sensor range Goes to Fault mode as Beyond its Sensor Limit it can Measure, So may I provide Saturation point Some where to Suppress This Fault during High Pressure.
