Siemens valve positioner not working PS10116

Check whether it is in manual mode; it needs to be switched to automatic mode.

Is the locator in automatic mode? Is there a problem with the feedback? Is there an issue with the valve stem travel affecting the feedback angle? Is there a problem with the DCS’s load-bearing capacity? If that doesn’t work, try using a different locator to identify possible faults. I’ve never seen a locator of this model, so there isn’t much information available.

1. Check whether the air supply to the locator from the filter is normal. 2. Use a signal generator to test the locator, which can help rule out problems with the 4-20MA signal output by the DCS. 3. Carefully read the locator’s manual to see if it is in manual mode If it’s automatic, then verify it.

1. Whether the locator is set to automatic mode. 2. Is the control valve stuck? 3. I think the most likely cause is the handwheel limit!

1. First, confirm whether the 4–20 ma signal is normal； 2. Check whether the sub-meter output of the locator has changed ； 3. Has the locator been calibrated? ； 4. Connect the gas source directly to the valve and check whether the valve operates; this will help determine whether the problem lies with the positioner or the valve itself ；

Check whether it is in manual mode; it needs to be switched to automatic mode. I’d like to ask for advice: I have a Siemens valve positioner model PS10116-A-21. The DCS output at 4-20mA is working fine, but the valve doesn’t move; the air supply is normal. Actually, Baidu was acting up again today

For example, if it’s a gas-actuated valve, it should be closed when there is no gas or no power supply. If everything is normal, proceed to the second step: check that the electrical and pneumatic signals are proper, and that the feedback rod does not come loose. 3: Switch the locator to manual mode and use the plus or minus buttons. At this point, whether you use the plus or minus button, you should hear a clicking sound coming from the locator, indicating that air is being released. If such a sound is heard, it means your valve is stuck; otherwise, it’s because the locator hasn’t been initialized. Remember to switch it back to automatic mode after initialization is complete. Another possibility is that you might not be able to carry out the auto-tuning function of the locator; in that case, you need to read the instructions more carefully and make the necessary adjustments
