Study Notes
I/P Transducer
- Converts signal to required format for final control element and sends as output (e.g., 4-20 mA to 3-15 psi)
- Takes current input (usually 4-20 mA) and converts to pressure output (3-15 psi) in process industries
- Output typically goes to pneumatic actuator controlling a valve to move measured variable closer to set point
Honeywell Model 870022 Transducer
- Major parts:
- Zero adjust knob (sets transducer zero during calibration)
- Locknut (locks adjustment)
- Span adjust (sets span during calibration)
- Terminal block (connects field wires to transducer)
- Force coil (produces force proportional to input current)
- Feedback module (produces opposing force)
- Pilot valve (supplies pneumatic 3-15 psi output signal)
- Restrictor (reduces air flow through nozzle)
- Valve port (pneumatic output connection)
- Supply port (connects to air supply)
Operation
- Single-acting, force-balancing, final control interface element
- Air-handling capacity determined by pneumatic stages (single-stage or two-stage)
- Two-stage model can actuate pneumatic valve directly
- When calibrating, ensure two-stage model output is connected to capacity of 50 cu.in. or more
Direct and Reverse Acting Transducers
- Direct acting: increasing input current signal provides increasing output air signal
- Reverse acting: increasing input current signal provides decreasing output air signal
- To convert to reverse action, reverse input signal wires
Testing and Replacement of I/P Transducer
- Necessary steps:
- Obtain work permit and inform operations
- Safely isolate transducer
- Disconnect controller output signal
- Shut off instrument air supply
- Remove transducer
