72 800.727.5646 • www.marshbellofram.com Transducers Description The Marsh Bellofram Type 2000 is a robust electronic instrument that regulates an incoming supply pressure down to a precise output pressure which is directly proportional to an electrical control signal. The secret to the Type 2000’s precise, reliable performance under a variety of demanding environmental conditions is a patented piezo-ceramic actuator with many industry-wide firsts. The Type 2000 has been designed to meet the electro-pneumatic needs of the world: • Field-selectable inputs and direct/reverse/ split ranging • Multiple input/output/mounting configurations • Precise, reliable performance under extreme conditions of temperature, vibration, orientation, supply pressure changes, supply voltage changes, RFI/EMI, humid / oil-laden media, and corrosive surroundings Applications The Type 2000’s precisely regulated pneumatic output can be used to operate: • Valve Actuators • Louver and Damper Actuators • Valve Positioners • Relays • Clutches and Brakes • Controllers • Air Cylinders Industry Applications Include • Chemical and Petrochemical Industries • Petroleum Production • Pipeline Transmission • Electric Utilities • Water and Wastewater Systems • Pulp and Paper • Textiles • Semiconductor Industry • Food and Beverage • Environmental Control Systems • Construction Equipment • Agricultural Equipment • Machine Tool • Material Handling • Automotive Testing and Assembly • Medical Equipment Type 2000 I/P & E/P Transducers Principle of Operation The Type 2000 I/P and E/P transducers utilize closed-loop pressure feedback-control for precision pressure output and minimized effects of temperature, supply pressure changes, supply voltage changes, and mounting angle. Supply pressure is reduced by the supply valve to provide an output pressure which is internally routed to a precision temperature compensated piezo-resistive pressure sensor. Supply pressure is also routed to an externally removable orifice which provides a reduced pilot pressure to a chamber containing a servo diaphragm and nozzle. Pilot pressure is controlled by modulating the gap between the face of a nozzle and an adjacent piezo-ceramic actuator, which is part of a unique patented mechanism. The piezo-ceramic actuator serves as a control link between electrical input and pressure output as follows: • The input current (I/P) or voltage (E/P) signal is conditioned to provide a normalized control signal directly proportional to the desired pressure output. • Simultaneously the output of the pressure sensor is amplified and conditioned to produce a feedback signal. • The sum of the control signal and the feedback signal produce a command signal which is delivered as a DC voltage to the piezoceramic actuator. • As voltage increases, the force applied by the actuator increases, so as to restrict nozzle bleed and thus increase pilot pressure. • Increased pilot pressure applied to the servo diaphragm directly causes opening of the supply valve and an increase in the output pressure until the output feedback signal and control signal combine to produce the correct command signal. Fine-Tuning Your Application For optimal performance in your application, the calibration of the Type 2000 can be fine-tuned in the field. An easily-removable cover provides access to the isolated electronics. All potentiometers, connections, jumpers, and switches are clearly marked on the circuit board or on the handy chart located on the inside of the cover. The three elements of calibration (Gain, Zero, and Span) are described below. Consult the Type 2000 User’s Manual for detailed calibration procedures, cautions, and instrumentation requirements. Type 2000 Transducers Gain (Damping) Adjustment The output response of the Type 2000 can be optimized for varying downstream volumes by adjusting the system gain of the control circuit. Adjust the Gain Pot counterclockwise for increased gain; clockwise for increased oscillation damping. For maximum allowable gain in your application, the pot should be turned clockwise until oscillation just disappears. Zero and Span Adjustments The Type 2000 contains multi-turn Coarse-Zero, Fine-Zero, and Span adjustment potentiometers which are clockwise positive. Adjustment of either Zero Pot changes the unit’s minimum output while the Span Pot changes the maximum output. The adjustments are interactive, so it may take iterations to reach the desired calibration. Wide Rangeability The Type 2000 can be field calibrated to pressure ranges other than the standard ones by combinations of recalibration, pressure range switching, and split high/low ranging. A unit should not be switched to a range outside its pressure sensor family (eg., a 0-15 PSIG can be switched to a 3-15 PSIG, but not to 0-30 PSIG). (Caution: Do not exceed the range of the onboard pressure sensor.) For example, the easiest way to recalibrate a 0-30 PSIG unit to 3-15 psig would be to change the switch setting to 3-27 PSIG, then switch to split range low. Field-Selectable Features Onboard switches allow the user to easily reconfigure the Type 2000 for any of several electrical inputs, direct/reverse acting, or output split-ranging high/low. Fine tuning of the unit’s calibration may be necessary after a reconfiguration.
