Summary
An AVP-350 SMART positioner is a two-wire (4 ... 20 mA) device of airpower europe GmbH. The positioner is a control accessory of
the pneumatic actuator for valves. It is widely used in automatic control systems in the chemical industry,
the energy industry, the metallurgy industry, the pulp and paper industry and many other sectors.
The AVP-350 receives the analog 4 ... 20 mA signal for the valve adjustment from the control system (PLS). This setting value is
converted from an analog to digital converter and serves as input to the CPU. At the same time, the AVP-350 receives the actual
value for the valve position of position sensors. The two signals are compared by the AVP-350 software with the aim of controlling
the inlet and outlet of the pneumatic actuator and reaching the setpoint for the position of the valve (see Figure 2-1)
The AVP-350 is based on microprocessor technology. It can easily compensate for mechanical influences of the valve and the
actuator, such as friction, and improve the response speed of the valve, which allows the desired position to be reached quickly
and accurately. Optionally, the AVP-350 can also directly access the HART network, enabling an extended exchange of information
between the control system (PLS) and the positioner.
The AVP-350 SMART position controller complies with the IEC60079-0:2017- Hazardous areas - Part 0: Equipment - General
requirements and Explosive atmospheres - Part 11: Equipment protection by intrinsically safety "Ex i".
The AVP-350 SMART position controller is therefore also suitable for use in the vicinity of combustible dusts – Part 11: Protection
by intrinsic safety “ID”.

2.1 Functions
Self-adjustment function: automatic calibration of zero point and span of the valve
Optimization of control parameters to increase control accuracy
Configuration function: valve characteristic curve, action mode, dead band, stroke range, shut-off value and alarm events
Self-diagnosis function: display of the value of the input current, runtime, dead band
Fault mode function: fail safe or fail freeze
Communication: HART communication protocol (optional)
Position feedback function: 4 ... 20 mA (actual value) - optional
2.2 Special features
Positioning precision: 0,5 % FS
Small and compact design, modular design
Automatic initialization, automatic diagnostics, valve characteristic
Fewer mechanical parts, high stability against vibrations
Local or remote parameter configuration
Low power consumption and minimum air consumption in static state, resulting in lower operating costs
Use of the 4 ... 20 mA standard signal (setpoint)
Integrated surge
2.3 Integrated lightning protection (optional)
Modern position controllers become smarter, smarter and use BUS technologies for communication as technology advances.
Therefore, it is inevitable that electronic components will be used that are more sensitive to overvoltage. In the event of
lightning, these components would be quickly damaged, which can cause the positioner to fail. Many positioners do not have a
special protection function and are therefore prone to damage due to overvoltage or lightning.
One solution to this problem is the integrated discharge circuit in the AVP-350, which protects the positioner from overvoltage.
Note
1. The lightning protection function is offered as an option.
2. The grounding must be carried out in accordance with the relevant standards, before installing the
device.

4.2.1 General
Fig. 4-2 shows the view of the positioner with the lid open and the terminal strip.
Fig. 4-3 shows the feedback indicator of the positioner and the arrow that shows the rotational area of the
indicator. The solid line shows the middle position of the indicator (without initialization, the LCD feedback value
should be around 50.0, and the lower line indicates NOINIT).
The two dotted lines show the boundary position of the feedback rotating range in normal use. The position sensor
inside is already preset.
Fig. 4-4 shows the positioner assembled on a rotary actuator.
