Answer Posted / carl_ellis
Pneumatic positioners equipped with a bypass option can be removed for maintenance without interrupting the valve service.
A position bypass is/was a common optional feature on pneumatic positioners that receive a pneumatic control signal (typically 3-15 psi, 20-100 kPa, or 0.2 - 1.0 bar) from a controller or I/P.
The bypass option is a pneumatic switch. The inlet is the control signal. The valve's outlet is either the positioner (normal mode) or the actuator (bypass mode).
If the positioner needs servicing, the bypass switch is changed from normal mode to bypass mode and the control signal will drive the valve actuator directly. The bypass assembly can typically be removed from the positioner with a couple bolts so that the bypass assembly remains connected to the process, while the positioner is removed for service.
Positioner Bypass operation does not work
- on valves with actuators whose input signal range does not match control signal range (a 1:1 output:input signal ratio). A valve actuator that requires 40-60 psi to actuate will not be actuated by a 3-15psi control signal.
- for split range valves
- for valves with control action (direct or reverse) the opposite of the control signal action.
- Electropneumatic positioners that use a 4-20mA input signal have no bypass option because there's no pneumatic signal to bypass to the actuator.

A PLC is programmed to drive three motors A, B and C as follows : After running motor A for an hour, motor B should get ON and motor A should get OFF. And after running motor B for an hour, motor C should get ON and motor B should get OFF. And after running motor C for an hour, motor A should get ON and motor C should get OFF. (That is, a cyclic repetition with time period one hour) Now, the second condition is: If any motor gone faulty and is tripped, the consecutive motor should get ON and the faulty (tripped) motor should be eliminated from cyclic repetition. The remaining two motors should bear the cyclic repetition of one hour each. (For healthy motor take logic as high and for tripped motor take logic as low) Now, the third condition is: When motor A load(Amps) exceeds 60% of its rated load, motor B should get ON in parallel to motor A. And when both motors A & B are running in parallel, and if their load exceeds 60% of their rated load, motor C should also start in parallel to A & B. [Here the cyclic repetition is eliminated, until their loads become normal(40%)] [Take logic high(1) for load at 60% and logic low(0) for load at 40%] Now draw a flow chart or a ladder diagram to fulfill the above condition.
