“Fail-safe” function
If the electrical supply power fails, the positioner output 1 is
depressurized, and the pneumatic actuator’s return spring
moves the valve to the defined safe position. In case of a
double-acting actuator the second output 2 is additionally pressurized.
Change from two to one column
“Fail-freeze” function
If the electrical supply power fails, the positioner output 1 (and
2. if applicable) is closed and the pneumatic actuator stops
(“freezes”) the valve in the current position. If the compressed
air supply power fails, the positioner depressurizes the actuator.
