Components
Status Description / Explanation Recommended Action
RAM Failure
This Alarm indicates a critical state for the
operation of the device.
Error Writing into positioner memory . Replace electronic board or complete positioner .
EEPROM Failure
This Alarm indicates a critical state for the
operation of the device.
Error Writing into positioner EEPROM . Replace electronic board or complete positioner .
ROM Failure
This Alarm indicates a critical state for the
operation of the device.
Error Writing into positioner ROM . Replace electronic board or complete positioner .
AD Converter Failure
This Alarm indicates a critical state for the
operation of the device.
Converter function not controllable . Replace electronic board or complete positioner .
Mechanical Interfaces Critical Alarm Status
Do not continue to operate the unit until the failure has
been eliminated.
Actuator OOR Failure
This Alarm indicates a critical state for the
operation of the device.
The valve position is not within permissible
range of mechanical stops that were
determined during the initial start-up . The
fingerprint data differ and are outside the
allowed range (valve position: –5…105%) .
Check mechanical connection between the positioner and
the actuator / valve .
Perform Endpoints Calibration .
This can also be a sign of wear on the plug or seat . Check if
they are still in tact .
Control Diff

Maintenance
Required /
Service /
Difference between applied analog or
digital setpoint and the corresponding valve
position . The values exceed the allowed limit
in connection with a specified time limit . The
default values are 5% within 60 Seconds .
Check if supply pressure is adequately supplied . Verify
the tuning parameters . Check mechanical connection to
the actuator and valve . Check configured alarming values
under Alarms/Control Difference Alarm .
If pressure sensors are applied and the Load Factor is
available, check if Load Factor/High Friction Alarm is active .
In this case the friction of the packing is too high and
causes the stem movement to block .
Refer to troubleshooting section of MI .
Internal Electronic Interfaces
Current Loop
I/P Motor
Failure
Connection of I/P converter to electronic
board is faulty .
Connect I/P- .converter to the electronic board . Restart the
positioner . If the error is still active, replace the positioner .
Potentiometer Failure
Connection of potentiometer to electronic
board is faulty .
Connect potentiometer to the electronic board . Restart the
positioner . If the error is still active, replace the positioner .
