Steriflow Valve offers the MK16IQ in three primary

configurations:

Mark 16IQ-B ‘Basic’ Version: smart positioner

without HART

®

protocol with gauge block and

FM Approval (IS) for Class I, Div. 1 locations.

Specify part number 16184.

Mark 16IQ-S ‘Standard’ Version: same basic

unit but with HART

®

protocol capability. Specify

part number 98877.

Mark 16IQ-FF ‘Foundation Fieldbus

TM

’: for ad-

vanced diagnostics with digital communication

and control.

Other configurations available - contact factory

for Profibus, limit switch module, alarm module

and other accessory ordering information.

Overview

The Mark 16IQ is the "Smart" side mounted positioner

of choice for Steriflow Mark 978 Control Valve models

978SP and Mark 978 INLINE model NSP. This com-

pact, rugged unit offers comprehensive diagnostics

and high level customization with the convenience of

push buttons for in situ configuration or use of a HART

®

communicator.

Operation & Design

The primary module of the Mark 16IQ is the electronic

board comprised of the microprocessor, along with the

indicating and control elements. The unit is designed

so that optional modules for alarms and position feed-

back are easily plugged in or snapped on.

The current command (which typically serves as the

power supply to the instrument) is compared to the

internal position feedback signal. By comparing the

input and feedback signals, an adaptive controller de-

termines the positioning signal, which follows an opti-

mized algorithm. The parameters for this algorithm are

determined from valve and actuator characteristics

analyzed during initialization and as modified during

the real-time performance of the actuator. The MK16IQ

will identify and optimize each valve’s specific perfor-

mance characteristics.

The positioning signal controls piezo electric solenoid

valves which respond based on the size of the control

deviation. The resultant actuator pressure can be mod-

ified to adapt the response time to the actuator size.

Two binary inputs are standard and allow the logical

linkage of the binary input signals with alarm reports,

or positioning the actuator at its fail-safe position.

If the "standard" Mark 16IQ is chosen with your valve

selection, configuration and diagnostic information can

be accessed via PC or HART

®

handheld communica-

tor. Additionally, all settings and diagnostic information

can be called up locally at the positioner via the push

buttons located inside the cover of the unit. The Analog

Positioning Module supplies an analog 4-20 mA feed-

back signal, while the Binary Module supplies stroke

and alarm reports.
