RE: Reverse acting pressure controller

Is this homework for a class? If so, be sure to cite this forum with your answer.

We need to know the manual reset, or the value of the output when the input equals the setpoint. Otherwise, I will have to assume it is 100%, not a good assumption.

Setpoint conversion to percent:
Input range 5-20 bar, span is 15 bar.

11 bar - 5 bar = 6 bar. 6/15 = 40%

The output is 100% when the setpoint equals the measurement.

(15ma - 4ma)/16ma = 68.45% output.

The output will have to fall from 100% to 68.45%, or 31.25%.

A proportional band of 40% means that an input increase of 40% will result in an output decrease of 100%.

We need an output decrease of 31.25%, so we need an input increase of 31.25% x 40% = 12.5%.

The input span is 15bar. 12.5% x 15 bar + 5 bar = 3.25 bar.

So the answer is 3.25 bar if the manual reset is 100%
