“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.

The air flow for pressurizing or depressurizing the actuator is

continuously adjusted. As a result, excellent control is

achieved. When reaching the setpoint, the 3/3-way valve is

closed in center position to minimize the air consumption.

Four different pneumatics versions are available: for single

acting or double-acting actuators, each with “fail-safe” or “fail freeze” function.

Pneumatics

An I/P module with subsequent pneumatic amplifier is used to

control the pneumatic actuator. The well-proven I/P module

proportionally converts the permanent electrical setpoint signal

from the CPU into a pneumatic signal used to adjust a 3/3 way valve.

The air flow for pressurizing or depressurizing the actuator is

continuously adjusted. As a result, excellent control is

achieved. When reaching the setpoint, the 3/3-way valve is

closed in center position to minimize the air consumption.

Brief description

The TZIDC-200 is an electronically configurable positioner with

communication capabilities designed for mounting to

pneumatic linear or part-turn actuators. It features a small and

compact design, a modular construction, and an excellent

cost-performance ratio.

Fully automatic determination of the control parameters and

adaptation to the final control element yield considerable time

savings and an optimal control behavior.

Applications

ABB general purpose drives can be used in a

wide range of industries. Typical applications

include pump, fan and constant torque use,

such as conveyors. ABB general purpose drives

are ideal in those situations where there is

a need for simplicity to install, commission

and use and where customizing or special

product engineering is not required.

Highlights

• FlashDrop tool

• Intuitive use with assistant control panel

• Swinging choke for superior

harmonic reduction

• Vector control

• Coated boards for harsh environments

• Built-in category C2 EMC filter

(1st environment) as standard

• Flexible fieldbus system with built-in

Modbus and numerous internally

mountable fieldbus adapters

ABB general purpose drives

ABB general purpose drives are simple to

buy, install, configure and use, saving

considerable time. They are widely available

through ABB channel partners. The drives

have common user and process interfaces

with fieldbuses, common software tools for

sizing, commissioning, maintenance and

common spare parts.

Universal transmitter – powerful and flexible

The backlit display can be easily rotated without the need for

any tools. The contrast is adjustable and the display fully

configurable. The character size, number of lines and display

resolution (number of decimals) can be set as required. In

multiplex operation, several different display options can be

pre-configured and invoked one after the other.

The smart modular design of the transmitter unit allows for

easy disassembly without the need to unscrew cables or

unplug connectors.

Whether count pulses, 20 mA signals or the status output are

active or passive, the universal transmitter always delivers the

correct signal. HART is used as the standard protocol.

Optionally, the transmitter is available with PROFIBUS PA or

FOUNDATION Fieldbus communication.

The universal transmitter simplifies the spare parts inventory

and reduces the stockholding costs.

Intuitive, convenient navigation

The factory-set parameters can be modified quickly and easily

via the user-friendly display and the non-contact buttons,

without opening the housing.

The “Easy Set-up” function reliably guides unpracticed users

through the menu step by step.

The softkey-based functionality makes handling a breeze – it’s

just like using a cell phone. During the configuration, the

permissible range of each parameter is indicated on the

display and invalid entries are rejected.

Easy and quick commissioning

Advanced data storage inside the sensor eliminates the need

to match sensor and transmitter in the field. The on-board

sensor memory automatically identifies the transmitter. On

power-on, the transmitter self-configuration function is run and

replicates all sensor data and TAG specific parameters into

the transmitter. This eliminates the opportunity for errors and

leads to an increased startup speed and reliability.

Flow performance

Using a higher excitation frequency for the transmitter,

ProcessMaster is a flowmeter with an especially short

response time. With its advanced filtering methods, the device

improves accuracy even under difficult conditions by

separating the noise from the measuring signal. This leads to

a maximum measuring error of 0.2 % of rate. Self-cleaning,

double-sealed polished measuring electrodes enhance the

device’s reliability and performance.
