Purpose

Electro-pneumatic positioners ЭПП, ЭПП-Ех (hereinafter – ЭПП, ЭПП – Ех) are designed to reduce the misalignment of stroke and increase the rapidity of one- and two-way piston reciprocating and rotating pneumatic actuators and membrane pneumatic actuators in automatic process regulation or remote control systems in oil refining, petrochemical, gas, cryogenic and other industrial sectors.

ЭПП-Ех shall operate with passive IS barrier БИП-1 (hereinafter – БИП-1) as well as IS barriers БИП-1 (intrinsic safety) similar to БИП-1 with appropriate scope of application and with Ех-marking [Ex ia Ga]IIC, ensuring intrinsic safety of the ЭПП-Ех positioner input circuit and installed outside the explosion hazard area.

ЭПП-Ex shall have Ех-marking “0Ex ia IIC T6 Ga X” with protection level Ga (“extra-explosionproof”) of electrical equipment group II and protection type “intrinsic safety “ia” for application in explosive gaseous atmospheres, containing subgroup IIC gas, with maximum surface temperature below 85°С, with extended range of ambient air temperature from -50 to +60°С, shall comply with requirements of the Technical Regulation of the Customs Union TR CU 012/2011 “On equipment safety for operation in explosive atmospheres”, GOST 31610.0 (IEC 60079-0:2011), GOST 31610.11 (IEC 60079-11:2011), GOST IEC 60079-14, GOST 12.2.007.0, and intended for installation in indoor and outdoor explosive areas of class 0.1 and 2 as per GOST IEC 60079-10-1 according to Ех marking, requirements of PUE-99 (“Electrical Installations Code”) Chapter 7.3, and other regulatory documents governing the application of electrical equipment in explosive areas.

  • as to environmental protection rating, electro-pneumatic positioners ЭПП-“Ор”, ЭПП-Ех-“Ор” are corrosion-resistant and intended for operation in an environment containing up to 10 mg/m3 of hydrogen sulfide and (or) sulfur dioxide and, in emergency situations (for 3–4 hours), up to 100 mg/m3 of hydrogen sulfide and (or) sulfur dioxide up to 200 mg/m3;
  • as to resistance to the ambient air temperature and humidity exposure, electro-pneumatic positioners comply with climatic version У1 as per GOST 15150-69, version group Д3 as per GOST 12997-84, for operation at a temperature from minus 50 to plus 60°С and relative humidity of 95% at 35°С; for supply to regions with tropical climate – with climatic version Т2 as per GOST 15150-69, for operation at a temperature from minus 25 to plus 60°С and relative humidity of 100% at 35°С.

General information

Electro-pneumatic positioners are devices belonging to follow-up system regulators. They are responsible for ensuring the set coordination of positions for pneumatic actuators with rotation or progressive action (for controllable values) and command signals (setting these values). Such values depending on the set operating mode can be represented as an analog DC signal, a command transferred using digital exchange channels, or a task manually introduced by the operator.

Operating and functioning principles of positioners manufactured at our plant. Structurally, they comprise three units: electronic unit, electro-pneumatic unit, and unit responsible for feedback.

Electro-pneumatic unit of the positioner is a discrete double-channel and two-stage amplifier, a king of converter; its first stage is fitted with electric valve, and the second one – single-membrane amplifier. Power supply of actuators in relief mode as well as in pressurization mode, are ensured thanks to a combined output of second stages.

Feedback units included into electro-pneumatic positioners, can be used for delivery of electric signals proportional to a current position of actuators. Such units are made based on rotary potentiometers and gear single-stage reducers.

Purchasing electro-pneumatic positioners, it is important to study well their technical characteristics. Managers of our specialty stores representing a wide range of our products are always ready to help you with your choice.
