Control sections and connections in the device

A shaft leads outwards through the centre of the back plate and must be linked via the coupling to the
shaft of the semi-rotary drive. The shaft is mechanically connected to the integrated potentiometer,
which determines the position (actual value of the controlled variable) of the shaft. The reference variable (setpoint value of the controlled variable) is specified analogue in operation through one of the
two analogue setpoint inputs.
With the Add, Sub and Set keys, configuration and commissioning can be carried out in a menu-driven
manner. During commissioning, the setpoint values can be specified through keys as needed.
The two-line LCD display shows all texts in English as short texts. A maximum of 8 characters per line
can be shown.

Function and application

The CMSX positioner described here is intended for position control of double-acting pneumatic semirotary drives in process automation systems.
The product is intended for use in industrial environments. Outside of industrial environments, e.g. in
commercial and mixed-residential areas, actions to suppress interference may have to be taken.
Appropriate for operation are double-acting pneumatic semi-rotary drives for ball valves and butterfly
valves (quarter turn actuators). Permissible are semi-rotary drives with approx. 90 swivel angle and
mechanical interface in accordance with VDI/VDE Directive 3845. Appropriate mechanical mounting
adapters are required for mounting (accessories  www.festo.com/catalogue). Appropriate, for example, are the following double-acting semi-rotary drives from Festo:
semi-rotary drive DFPB
semi-rotary drive DRD
semi-rotary drive DAPS.
The CMSX makes possible a simple and efficient position regulation based on the PID control algorithm. Positions are specified via an analogue setpoint signal (0 V 10 V or 0 mA 20 mA or
4 mA 20 mA). Through the shaft, the integrated potentiometer registers the current position of the
semi-rotary drive and passes the measured value to the internal regulator. The regulator compares the
analogue-specified setpoint value to the measured value and controls the two internal fast-switching
valves correspondingly by means of pulse-width modulation (PWM).

System structure with semi-rotary drive (example)

Positions are specified through an analogue setpoint signal via a master PLC/IPC or manually on-site
via an external setpoint generator ( Fig. 3, 1 ).
The positioner with potentiometer and fast-switching valves ( Fig. 3, 2 ) and the semi-rotary drive
with process valve ( Fig. 3, 5 , 6 ) are connected to each other in such a way that a closed control
circuit results. In this control circuit, the position of the drive represents the controlled variable. The
potentiometer registers permanently the position of the drive (actual value of the controlled variable)
and transmits this to the controller as an electric signal. It compares the analogue specified setpoint
position (reference variable) to the current position and calculates from this the positioning signals
(manipulated variable pulse-width modulation) for the fast-switching valves. The fast-switching
valves control the drive by pressurizing and venting the cylinder chambers.

Product variants

The product variants CMSX...-A and CMSX...-C are equipped with different fast-switching valves. If the
operating voltage supply fails, the fast-switching valve return to the normal position. Therefore, depending on the product variants used, if the compressed air supply is switched on and the operating
voltage supply fails, the CMSX reacts as follows:
For the product variant
CMSX...-A ( Fig. 4, 1 ) the
working port 4 is vented and the
working port 2 pressurized.
Dependent on the tubing connection of the CMSX with the
semi-rotary drive ( Fig. 4, 2 ),
the process valve is opened or
closed.

Fig. 4
For the product variant
CMSX...-C ( Fig. 5, 1 ), the
working ports 2 and 4 are pressurized in order to maintain the
current setting of the semirotary drive ( Fig. 5, 2 ).

Neutral position for CMSX...-C

If the operating voltage supply is switched back on, the last operating status is effective again immediately. If the regulator is activated, the current setpoint value is valid again immediately.

Transport and storage

Ensure storage conditions as follows:


short storage periods in cool, dry, shaded and corrosion-protected locations.

Mechanical installation
Note
Observe the direction of rotation of the semi-rotary drive.
Before mounting, adjust the shaft of the positioner and the drive shaft so that the
swivel angle of the drive lies within the sensing range of the positioner.

The angle position of the semi-rotary drive is sensed by the integrated potentiometer through the shaft
of the positioner. The shaft of the positioner can be turned in any way, since it does not have a mechanical stop. But the permissible sensing range is 100. The sensing range and correct alignment of the
shaft of the positioner is depicted on the underside of the housing.

Operating voltage supplyand earthing


Correct earthing is important for trouble-free operation of the device. The positioner CMSX has a functional earth connection on the left side ( Fig. 9, 2 ).
Note
Installation errors can damage the electronics and fast-switching valves or cause malfunctions.
Leave the cable at pin 9 unchanged ( Fig. 9). This cable is internally connected to
the functional earth (FE) terminal at the plant.
Connect the functional earth terminal on the left side to the earth potential with low
impedance (short cable with large cross-section).
For earthing, you must produce a low-impedance connection between the devices functional earth
terminal and the earth potential. A low-impedance connection can be achieved by using a low-impedance cable that is as short as possible and large-surface-area contacting.
Connect, in a conforming manner, an appropriate earth connector to the functional earth terminal
on the housing side of the CMSX.

Fig. 10

Operating voltage supply and earthing example


Note
If connected in accordance with Fig. 10, the disconnection of the circuits of the operating voltage supply and of the load voltage for outputs is cancelled.

Setpoint value of inputs  pin 1 ... 4 (setpoint value of the controlled variable)
The setpoint value can be specified as an external voltage of current signal. Both setpoint inputs can be
connected. But in all cases, only one of the two setpoint values is active dependent on the parameterisation (factory setting  Tab. 15).

The position actual value (valve position VP) is made available for higher-order systems as a current
signal (it is influenced through the Open parameter  Tab. 15).
Digital outputs; ALARM, D-OUT1, D-OUT2  pin 10, 11, 12 and pin 14
The ALARM output delivers high level if the maximum positioning time is exceeded at initialization.
The outputs D-OUT1 and D-OUT2 can be wired as PNP or NPN outputs. Their behaviour can be configured ( Tab. 15). To operate the outputs as PNP outputs, the load must be connected between the
output and 0 V (pin 14). The following diagram shows as an example the connection of the digital outputs when PNP outputs are used.

Commissioning
Warning
Accidental movements of the drive can cause damage.
Observe that the fast-switching valves of the CMSX take the neutral position if there
is a failure of the operating voltage supply ( section 3.2).
During initialization, movement takes place to both end positions in succession,
independently of the present setpoint value.
If you would like to prevent the neutral position of the fast-switching valves from
being effective when the power supplies are switched on ( section 3.2), first
switch on the operating voltage supply and the setpoint input, and only then the
compressed air supply.
Caution
Despite switched-off compressed air supply dependent on the product variant one
or both working ports of the positioner can remain under pressure.
Vent the working ports with the help of the Sensor function (menu 1) before you
remove the tubing lines ( section 7.3.3).
Caution
If there is a failure of the operating voltage supply during commissioning, data records
can be damaged in internal saving processes.
Ensure there is a stable operating voltage supply, in particular during commissioning.
Note
Parameter changes become effective immediately after the Set key is pressed. For example, digital outputs can change their signal status by changing settings even in the
controller stopped operating status.
Note
Incorrectly set parameters can result in permanent oscillations.
Be very careful when setting the parameters.

Switch-on behaviour at initial start-up

After the initial application of supply voltage, the CMSX is normally in the following status:
Operating mode: automatic (Auto)
Operating status: controller stopped (Stopped)
The CMSX then behaves as follows:
The controller is inactive and does not react to setpoint value specifications.
But the CMSX reacts to control signals at the digital input D-IN.
The display shows the initial position.
The setpoint position (SP) in the first line and the current valve position (VP) in the second line are
displayed in percent. Example (operating status controller stopped; valve position 0 % closed):
--- 0.0%
VP: 0.0%

The presettings can be sensibly used for a large number of applications. By changing the parameters
and the settings, you can adapt the behaviour of the device to the application case.
Note
To avoid accidental operational error:
Familiarise yourself before commissioning with the menu system and the key functions and parameters of the CMSX. For information on this  section 7.2 and 7.3.
When you have familiarised yourself with the menu system. the key functions and parameters of the
CMSX:
Perform commissioning as described in section 7.4.

SENSOR menu (1)
With the function in the menu SENSOR (1), an initial function test can be performed with a switched-off
controller, and a check can be made whether the motion range of the drive shaft is within the sensing
range of the internal sensor. In addition, with this function and with a switched-off compressed air supply, the working ports of the device must be exhausted with the Add and Sub keys before tubing lines
may be removed on the device ( Tab. 14).
Note
The drive is moved by pressurizing the one and exhausting the other working port! Since
the controller must be switched off with this function, parameterised limit values are
ineffective. As a rule, this function may only be performed during the commissioning
phase dependent on the system.
If the Sensor Error message appears on the display, the sensing range of the integrated sensor has
been exceeded. The CMSX then has not been correctly aligned on the movement range of the drive. In
this case, the mechanical structure must be corrected ( section 6.1).

Opening direction (OPEN)


With the OPEN parameter, you specify in which direction the process valve opens. If the setting is correct, the display shows the following as valve position (VP):
With completely closed process valve: VP 0 %
With completely opened process valve: VP 100 %.
The parameter OPEN influences the direction of rotation of the semi-rotary drive as well as the displayed valve position (VP) and thus also the analogue signal at the actual value output. In addition, it
influences the position of the entries limit1, limit2, lmt1 and lmt2. Whether the process valve opens
with increasing or falling setpoint signal is determined by the parameter DIRECT.

Signal direction (DIRECT)


The parameter DIRECT establishes the signal direction for increasing the setpoint position (SP). The
setpoint position (SP) is raised either with increasing setpoint signal or with falling setpoint signal. The
parameter is effective independently of the character of the setpoint characteristic curve. For example,
the parameter is effective with a linear setpoint characteristic curve as follows:

the ratio between the analogue setpoint change and setpoint position change (SP) is constant.
Equal percentage characteristic curves progress exponentially with preset signal direction (DIRECT =
increase). In the case of equal percentage characteristic curves, a constant percentage change of the
setpoint position takes place with constant analogue setpoint change.

Dead zone (DEADBAND)


The parameter DEADBAND (dead zone) establishes the lower and upper limit of the zone within which a
change in the controlled variable has no influence on the setpoint specification. A change in the setpoint specification takes place only if the dead zone is exceeded. The setpoint specification is only
constant if the deviation lies within half the dead zone (b > deviation > -b).

Dead zone

The size of the dead zone influences the positioning accuracy and sensitivity with which the positioner
reacts to a deviation.
A dead zone that is too small results in vibration tendencies around the setpoint position up to permanent oscillations (instability). Through this, the fast-switching valves in the positioner and the drive are
subject to unnecessary loads. A dead zone that is too large results in low positioning accuracy.

Control parameters (PID--P, PID--D)


These parameters influence the control behaviour of the device. This permits adapting the positioning
speed and the control behaviour to the respective requirements.
The I-part of the PID controller cannot be changed by the user. It is preset at the factory to a value appropriate for the function.
But incorrectly set parameters can result in overswings or permanent oscillations around the setpoint
position. Small drives react to this more sensitively than large drives.
PID--P
The parameter PID--P influences the P-part of the PID-controller.
Increasing the value increases the setpoint specification change in the case of a deviation. A
P-share that is too high results in overswings.
Reduction in the value causes a reduction in the setpoint specification change in the case of a deviation. A P-share that is too small results in slower regulation.
PID--D
The parameter PID--D influences the D-part of the PID-controller.
Increasing the value changes the setpoint specification change less strongly with the same change
in speed of the deviation. Regulation becomes more sluggish.
Reducing the value changes the setpoint specification change more strongly with the same change
in speed of the deviation. Regulation becomes more dynamic.

With the parameters MIN und MAX, the lower and upper valve position (physical stroke) of the valve
work range can be established independent of the character of the setpoint characteristic curve. The
characteristic curve is completely adjusted corresponding to the established lower and upper valve
position. The following figure shows as an example the influence of the parameters on the linear setpoint value characteristic curve with the setting MIN 20 % und MAX 80 %.

Commissioning steps

After mounting of the semi-rotary drive, process valve and positioner, it must be checked whether the
semi-rotary drive lies correctly in the sensing range of the sensor. If configuration is faulty, the swivel
angle may exceed the physical sensing range. This results in an error message during commissioning.
The configuration must then be corrected. Besides visual control of the sensing range ( Fig. 6), check
this situation with the command in the menu 1 SENSOR ( also section 7.3.3). If the swivel angle lies
correctly within the sensing range of the sensor, initialization of the CMSX can be performed. Then the
behaviour of the CMSX can be established through configuration and parameterisation.
The following steps must be executed during commissioning:
1. Performance test and check of the sensing range of the sensor ( section 7.4.1)
2. For type CMSX...-A: check safety function. The tubing connection of the CMSX must be adapted to
the desired behaviour ( section 3.2).
3. If flow control valves are used in the working lines of the CMSX:
Adjust the flow control valves so that the max. permissible speed cannot be exceeded.
4. The following commissioning steps can be carried out in any sequence:
Initialization
Configuration of the setpoint signal and the digital inputs and outputs (optional)
Parameterisation of the control behaviour (optional)
5. To conclude commissioning:
Mount the cover with an Allen key width across flats (SW) 3 mm, tightening torque 1.5 Nm 10 %.
When mounting the cover, make sure that the seal lies untwisted in the slot of the cover. The seal
must be undamaged and free of contamination.
7.4.1
Performance test and check of the sensing range
With the keys, you can pressurize one working port and exhaust the other working port in order to perform an initial performance test. In this way, you can check whether the operating area of the semirotary drive lies within the physical sensing range of the sensor.
After the initial application of supply voltage, the CMSX is typically in the following status
( section 7.1):
Operating mode: automatic (OPERAT Auto)
Operating status controller stopped (ACTUAT Stopped).
Perform an initial performance test in this way:
1. Activate the compressed air supply.
2. Switch on the operating voltage. prior to commissioning, the CMSX is typically stopped in the automatic operating mode and the controller operating status. The controller is then inactive and the
display shows the initial position, e.g.:
--- 0.0%
VP: 0.0%

In this case, there is an error in the system structure. Always mount the CMSX so that the physical
sensing range of the internal potentiometer completely covers the swivel angle of the drive (see
section 6.1).
If the current position lies within the measuring range, you can now pressurize one working port and
exhaust the other working port with the Add and Sub keys. The working ports are pressurized and
exhausted as long as the respective key is held down ( Tab. 14).
5. For example, hold down the Add key until the semi-rotary drive reaches the end position. On reaching the end position, the display shows, for example:

7.4.2
Initialisation
In initialization, the CMSX adjusts control of the fast-switching valves to the direction of rotation of the
potentiometer and creates the relationship between the measured variable and position. In addition,
the CMSX determines a maximum positioning time. For this purpose, both end positions of the drive are
travelled to and saved as limits. Always perform an initialization in the following cases:
after installation at the initial start-up
after re-adjustment of the flow control valves
after changes in the system structure, e.g. changes in the tubing connections.
Initialization can be carried out manually or automatically. We recommend performance of automatic
initialization ( section 7.4.3).

Performance of automatic initialization (Autoinit)
In automatic initialization, the CMSX automatically carries out an initialization run. The drive is moved

Set parameters
Note
Incorrectly set parameters can lead in operation to unexpected behaviour of the connected semi-rotary drive.
Bring the CMSX into the controller stopped operating status if you wish to avoid
activation of the semi-rotary drive during parameterisation.
But note that the CMSX can always react to control signals at the control port D-IN
or to changes in the parameter D-IN ( Tab. 15).

After installation and initialization, configuration and parameterisation of the positioner must be executed. Settings and parameters are preset at the plant (delivery status) ( Tab. 4).
Note
If the controller is in operation (operating status Running), the new setting becomes
effective immediately after the Set key is pressed.
Parameter changes become effective immediately after the Set key is pressed. For example, digital outputs can change their signal status by changing settings even in the
controller stopped operating status.
Adjust the parameter values and settings of the device to your application.
Make the desired settings. Details on the procedure  section 7.2.
Test the settings made.

Conclusion of commissioning
To complete commissioning, proceed as follows:
1. Recommendation: Save your settings with the command Set as def ( menu 6) as individual presettings.
2. Mount the cover with an Allen key width across flats (SW) 3 mm, tightening torque 1.5 Nm 10 %.
When mounting the cover, make sure that the seal lies untwisted in the slot of the cover. The seal
must be undamaged and free of contamination.

Operation
Warning
Accidental movements of the drive can cause damage.
Observe that the fast-switching valves of the CMSX take the neutral position if there
is a failure of the operating voltage supply ( section 3.2).
If you would like to prevent the neutral position of the fast-switching valves from
being effective when the power supplies are switched on ( section 3.2), first
switch on the operating voltage supply and the setpoint input, and only then the
compressed air supply.

After the supply voltage is switched on, the CMSX is in the same operating status and the same operating mode that was valid before the supply voltage was switched off.
After commissioning has taken place, this is typically:
Operating mode automatic (Auto)
Operating status controller in operation (Running)
The CMSX shows the analogue specified setpoint position and the current valve position in percent and
adjusts the valve position correspondingly.
SP: 12.0%
VP: 12.1%
The CMSX behaves as follows:
The controller is active and controls the semi-rotary drive to the analogue specified setpoint
position.
If the operating voltage supply is switched off, the fast-switching valves of the CMSX take on the
neutral position ( section 3.2).

Maintenance and care

The device is maintenance-free if used as intended in the operating instructions .


Clean the outside of the product with a soft cloth. The permissible cleaning agent is soap suds.

Disassembly
Caution
Accidental movements of the drive can cause damage when dismounting. Before disassembly of the positioner:
Switch off the compressed air and power supplies.
Exhaust the semi-rotary drive.
Secure the system against being switched back on.
Caution
Despite switched-off compressed air supply dependent on the product variant one
or both working ports of the positioner can remain under pressure.
Vent the working ports with the help of the Sensor function before you remove the
tubing lines ( section 7.3.3).
Note
The CMSX contains electrostatically sensitive devices. Electrostatic discharges caused
by improper handling or incorrect earthing can damage the internal electronics.
Observe the handling specifications for electrostatically sensitive devices.
Discharge yourself from static discharges before assembling or disassembling modules to protect the modules.

Perform disassembly in the reverse order of installation ( chapter 6).


Before disassembly:
1. Ensure there is no pressure applied.
2. Secure the system against a restart of compressed air.
