Errata Sheet
for
Fisherr D4 Control Valve with easy-Drive™ Electric
Actuator, Instruction Manual, dated June 2013
This errata sheet provides information for the Fisher easy-Drive electric actuator. Use this in conjunction with
information provided in the (Fisher D4 Control Valve with easy-Drive Electric Actuator) instruction manual
(D103597X012) dated June 2013.

Important technical notice for easy­Drive electric actuator
When using the easy­Drive electric actuator with a 4­20mA control signal, the unit should always have 12/24VDC
power present on the power input terminals prior to applying the 4­20mA signal, unless an external 250Ω resistor is in
place across the analog control input terminals. Failure to do so could result in damage to the analog input circuitry.
The following installation and configuration procedure should be observed to ensure reliable operation.
1. Configure the local analog input control signal to 1­5V. This can be accomplished by the configuration software or
by setting Modbus register 40043 to 0.
2. Install a 1/4 or 1/2 watt, 250Ω resistor between terminals 3 and 4 (Analog+ and Analog ­) when landing the 4­20mA
control wiring on those terminals. A 220Ω or 270Ω resistor may be used as well if a 250Ω resistor is not readily
available.

3. Apply a 100% signal to the actuator with the resistor in place and calibrate the analog input to 100% through the
configuration software or by sending a value of 1 to register 40005.
4. Apply a 0% signal to the actuator with the resistor in place and calibrate the analog input to 0% through the
configuration software or by sending a value of 1 to register 40004.
The result of not following these installation instructions could result in permanent damage to the analog input
circuitry. This damage can result in the inability of the controller to see the control signal, resulting in the actuator
moving the valve plug to the loss of signal position.
This configuration works by providing the 4­20mA signal a path to follow through the resistor whether primary power
to the actuator is on or off, which prevents the voltage on the analog input terminals from rising high enough to
damage the circuitry.

Note
Do not configure the actuator to 4-20 mA with the external resistor in place, as improper operation will result.

WARNING

Description
The D4 control valve with easy-Drive electric actuator is a compact, rugged valve designed primarily for high-pressure
throttling applications. This valve is ideal for use on pressure and flow control applications within the oil and gas
production industry. The D4 valve also makes an excellent dump valve for high-pressure separators and scrubbers.
The D4 control valve meets the metallurgical requirements of NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 without environmental limits
for temperatures below 135_C (275_F). If the temperature is above 135_C (275_F), the N07718 Belleville washers will
impose some limits, as shown in table 3.

Specifications
Table 1 lists specifications for the D4 control valve with easy-Drive electric actuator. Some of the specifications for a
given control valve as it originally comes from the factory are stamped on a nameplate located on the lower actuator
enclosure.

Installation
WARNING
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations to avoid personal
injury.
To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by bursting of pressure-retaining parts or by uncontrolled process
fluid, be certain the service conditions do not exceed the limits shown on the valve nameplate and in table 1. Use
pressure-relieving devices required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section in this
instruction manual.

WARNING
For explosion­proof applications, ensure the actuator cover is properly bolted before applying power to the actuator.
Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if power is applied to the actuator with the cover
removed in a hazardous area.
For explosion-proof applications, install rigid metal conduit and a conduit seal no more than 457 mm (18 inches) from the
actuator. Personal injury or property damage may result from explosion if the seal is not installed.
Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous area, ingress protection, and
temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
Wiring connections must be in accordance with local, regional, and national codes for any given hazardous area approval.
Failure to follow the local, regional, and national codes could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or
explosion.

CAUTION
When ordered, the valve configuration and construction materials were selected to meet particular pressure, temperature,
pressure drop, and controlled fluid conditions. Responsibility for the safety of process media and compatibility of valve
materials with process media rests solely with the purchaser and end-user. Since some body/trim material combinations
are limited in their pressure drop and temperature ranges, do not apply any other conditions to the valve without first
contacting your Emerson Process Management sales office.

To avoid product damage, inspect the valve before installation for any damage or any foreign material that may have
collected in the valve body. Also remove any pipe scale, welding slag, or other foreign material from the pipeline.

WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage caused by possible actuator failure. The use of a rigidly-mounted support on the
actuator casing may cause additional stress on the actuator leading to premature wear and/or failure of the actuator
components.

CAUTION
To avoid product damage, inspect the valve before installation for any damage or any foreign material that may have
collected in the valve body. Also remove any pipe scale, welding slag, or other foreign material from the pipeline.

1. Before installing the control valve assembly, inspect it for any damage and for any foreign material that may have
collected in the valve body.
2. Remove any pipe scale, welding slag, and other foreign material from the pipeline.
3. The control valve can be installed in any position, but normally the actuator is vertical above the valve. Install the
valve so the flow direction arrow on the side of the valve indicates the direction of the process flow.
4. Install the valve following local and national piping codes when they apply to the application. For screwed
connections, treat the external pipe threads with a good grade pipe compound. For flanged valves, use suitable
gaskets between valve and pipeline flanges.
5. If continuous operation is required during maintenance and inspection, install a conventional three-valve bypass
around the valve.

Special Instructions for “Safe Use” and Installations in Hazardous
Locations
ATEX/IECEx
WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the enclosure, do not rub or clean the enclosure with solvents. To do so could result in an
explosion. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
The enclosure is non­conducting and may generate an ignition­capable level of electrosatic charges under certain extreme
conditions. The user should ensure that the equipment is not installed in a location where it may be subjected to external
conditions (such as high­pressure steam) which might cause a build­up of electrostatic charges on non­conducting surfaces.
Additionally, cleaning of the equipment shall only be done with a damp cloth.
To avoid damage to the enclosure, when screws are fully tightened into blind holes in enclosure walls, with no washer
fitted, at least one full thread shall remain free at the base of the hole.

Important Technical Notice for easy­Drive Electric Actuator
When using the easy­Drive electric actuator with a 4­20mA control signal, the unit should always have 12/24VDC
power present on the power input terminals prior to applying the 4­20mA signal, unless an external 250 ohm resistor
is installed per figure 4. Failure to do so could result in damage to the analog input circuitry.
It is strongly recommended to place an external 250 ohm resistor between terminals 3 and 4 when using a 4-20mA
signal to control the actuator. When the actuator is configured to 1-5V input with an external 250 ohm resistor in
place, a 4-20mA signal may be safely used without danger to input circuitry.
This order of operation must always be maintained when powering the unit on if no external 250 ohm resistor is used:
1. 12/24VDC power on
2. 4­20mA control signal engaged
This order of operation must always be maintained when powering the unit off:
1. 4­20mA control signal disengaged
2. 12/24VDC power off
The result of not following this order of operation could result in permanent damage to the analog input circuitry. This
damage can result in the inability of the controller to see the control signal, resulting in the actuator moving the valve
plug to the loss of signal position.

Default Input Signals
The D4 with easy­Drive comes from the factory calibrated and ready for use with the following default input signals
shown in table 5.

Configuration
Input Configuration
There are 2 functional configurations available for the easy­Drive electric actuator: On/Off and Positioning. It is not
possible to change an actuator from On/Off to Positioning after it has been delivered from the factory. Version 4.21
and higher firmware will allow a positioning unit to be changed to on/off.

Changing the Inputs from Default Settings
All configuration within the valve is done by setting values in Modbus registers. This can be done using any Modbus
master (flow computer, PLC, PC). Configuration software, providing a visual interface to the registers, is available
through your Emerson local business partner or the Fisher website.

Modbus setup
Use the instructions in the instruction manual for the Modbus master to initiate the connection. The D4 with
easy­Drive electric actuator Modbus factory defaults are Address 1, 9600 baud, even parity, 1 stop bit.
When a connection has been achieved, the actuator may be configured to accept the input signal over the Modbus
link (ignoring the physical inputs) and the Modbus settings may be changed to accommodate the network to which it
is attached. Other changes to functionality are possible, such as:
D Low level cutoff: 40037 (default is 5%)
D Position upon loss of signal: 40035 (default is 0%)
See Appendix A for a full map of Modbus registers and their functions.

Connecting using the Fisher easy­Drive configuration software
The Fisher easy­Drive configuration software allows configuration and diagnosing of the Fisher easy­Drive electric
actuator with a graphical interface. Connect a PC to the actuator using a USB or serial to Modbus RTU converter using
the wiring instructions above. The USB or serial device will be visible in the drop menu under Serial Port Settings. Baud
rate and parity should be set to the Modbus settings of the actuator. Default actuator settings are 9600 baud and Even
parity.
Use the Fisher easy­Drive configuration software (figure 8) to make the desired changes, or register values may be
changed to allow different functionality. Modbus register 40034 dictates whether the unit will respond to a physical
signal or to the value in Modbus register 40001. A value of 0 in register 40034 will result in the actuator responding to
the value in 40001 and a value of 1 will result in the actuator responding to physical control signals.

Note
If an actuator is on/off, a Modbus command of 0­49 in register 40001 will cause the valve to close fully, while a value of 50­100 will
cause the valve to open fully.

Calibration Instructions
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage, be aware that the valve will open fully and then close fully during the
calibration cycle.

It is not necessary to calibrate your easy­Drive electric actuator prior to use from a factory shipment.
If any of the following are true, recalibration will be required (see next section)
D The actuator has been re­mounted on a different valve since shipment
D Disassembly of the valve for trim or packing changes
D A new version of firmware has been loaded on the controller
The following scenarios do not require recalibrations
D New unit from the box
D Power dips or interruptions
D Changing of control method (i.e. from 4­20mA to Modbus control)
D Extended periods of storage

Calibration with the use of Modbus
1. After the unit has been properly wired and fused per instructions in the Wiring section of this instruction manual,
turn power to the unit on.
2. Calibrate using Modbus:
a. Send position command of 0% to actuator to prevent unexpected motion. Valve will move to commanded
position following the calibration procedure.
b. Send a value of 1 to register 40003. Valve plug will move to fully closed. The valve plug will then return to the
commanded position.
If a Modbus connection is not available, and recalibration is desired, use the appropriate calibration method as
determined by the control method of your valve.

Calibration without the use of Modbus
1. Turn power to the actuator off

13

D4 Valve with easy-Drive Actuator

Instruction Manual

November 2013

D103597X012

2. Wait for 10 seconds to ensure all circuits have discharged.
3. Return power to the actuator and use the appropriate calibration method for your control signal. Calibration
sequence must be done within 15 seconds of power being switched on.
4. For On/Off operation using L2e dual­input dry contact:
a. Close the contact to create a short between pins 1 and 2 — valve plug will not move at this time.
b. Close the contact to create a short between pins 1 and 3 — valve plug will move to the lower, closed position.
5. For On/Off operation using single dry contact:
a. Close the contact to create a short between pins 1 and 2 — valve plug will not move at this time.
b. Open the contact to create an open circuit between pins 1 and 2 — valve plug will move to the lower, closed
position.
6. For positioning operation using 4­20mA:
a. Apply a 20mA signal between pins 3 and 4 — valve plug will not move at this time.
b. Apply a 4mA signal between pins 3 and 4 — valve plug will move to the lower, closed position.
c. If calibration of the analog input is desired to improve positional accuracy, an optional operation is listed in the
next section titled Analog Input Calibration.
7. For positioning operation using 1­5V:
a. Apply a 5V signal between pins 3 and 4 — valve plug will not move at this time.
b. Apply a 1V signal between pins 3 and 4 — valve plug will move to the lower, closed position.
c. If calibration of the analog input is desired to improve positional accuracy, an optional operation is listed in the
next section titled Analog Input Calibration.
8. The unit is now calibrated.

Analog Input Calibration
Improved positional accuracy may be obtained by calibrating the actuator to the analog signal input. The position of
the valve plug is linearly proportional to the analog control signal end points, with 4 mA/1V equating to fully closed
and 20 mA/5V equating to fully open.
1. Apply a 4 mA or 1V signal between pins 3 and 4 - valve plug will move to the fully open position.
2. Send a value of 1 to register 40004 or click Analog Cal at 0% in the configuration software.
3. Apply a 20 mA or 5V signal between pins 3 and 4 - valve plug will move to the fully closed position.
4. Send a value of 1 to register 40005 or click Analog Cal at 100% in the configuration software.
5. The unit is calibrated to your analog signal.

1. Before turning on power to the unit, be sure that a closed signal is being commanded to the unit
D Dry­Contact: contact is open
D L2e (Dual Dry Contact): Contact closed across pins 1 & 3
D Analog Input: signal < 4mA or 1V
D Modbus: position demand = 0
2. Turn on power to the unit
3. Apply a change in position demand to ensure unit responds properly
D Dry­Contact:
D Closed contact between pins 1 & 2 will open the valve
D Dual contact / L2e only (40043=0) : Closed contact between pins 1 & 2 will open the valve. Closed contact
between pins 1 & 3 will close the valve
D Analog Input: valve will respond to proportional demand
D Modbus: valve will respond to positional demand in register 40001. 0 = fully closed and 100 = fully open.
4. If the valve does not respond as expected, proceed to Troubleshooting guide on page 15.
5. Check conduit ports
D Conduit seal must be in place within 450mm (18 inches) of the enclosure
D Unused conduit ports must be sealed with an explosion­proof port plug
6. Replace the cover and tighten all 8 bolts to 20 N­m (15 ft­lbs)

Troubleshooting
1. Unit does not move
a. Verify that 12VDC to 24VDC is present on the power terminals as shown on the cover
b. Verify that all wires are firmly attached on both ends
c. Verify that wires are connected to the correct terminals - see Wiring in the manual
d. Verify mode of operation (on/off or positioning) matches control signal
e. Verify mode of control (local or Modbus) matches control signal
2. Unit does not respond to 4­20mA signal
a. Verify that 12VDC to 24VDC is present on the power terminals as shown on the cover.
b. Verify that the 4­20mA signal is wired correctly and that the terminals are firmly on the wires.
c. Verify mode of operation matches control signal (local control: 40033=0, positioning: 40034=1).

15

Instruction Manual

November 2013

D103597X012

d. Check the value of the analog input in register 40025 (middle right of configuration software screen) to
determine if it is 0 or greater.
i. If register 40025 shows 0 and the circuit board is green (not blue), it is possible a 4­20mA signal was applied
without power to the power terminals and damage to the input circuitry has occurred. Contact your Emerson
Process Management sales office for further information.
3. Unit moves to fully open when 1V signal is applied and closed when 5V signal is applied
a. Unit is likely configured as an on/off unit with local control; on/off units can not be controlled as an analog
device.
i. If on/off control is desired, use a dry contact switch to control in local mode or change to Modbus mode to
control the unit
ii. If positioning control is desired, contact your Fisher Local Business Partner to upgrade your actuator to
positioning control.
4. Diagnostics show a Motor Stall Fault
a. The easy­Drive electric actuator is designed to operate in a manner consistent with a pneumatic actuator. This
means that if the valve plug can not move to its commanded position, the actuator will stop, without damage,
and issue a Motor Stall Fault warning. When the command signal changes outside of the deadband (Modbus
register 40036), it will attempt to move again. Recalibrate the actuator span per instructions in the Startup
section of this manual.
5. Position on D4 is not accurate (proportional positioning units only)
a. If the valve plug opened during calibration, it is set to a D3. Change valve type to D4 and recalibrate.
b. If the local analog input is being used (4­20mA or 1­5V), the analog inputs of the actuator may be calibrated to
match the input signal. Follow instructions in Analog Input Calibration, found in the Calibration section of this
instruction manual.

Maintenance
Refer to figure 12.
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection
and maintenance depends on the severity of the service conditions.

WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing any maintenance
operations:
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D Vent the power actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
D Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings.

16

Instruction Manual
D103597X012

D4 Valve with easy-Drive Actuator
November 2013

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.

WARNING
For explosion­proof applications, ensure the actuator cover is properly bolted before applying power to the actuator.
Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if power is applied to the actuator with the cover
removed in a hazardous area.
Do not remove the actuator cover for 10 minutes after power is disconnected if the UPS option is installed.
For explosion-proof applications, install rigid metal conduit and a conduit seal no more than 457 mm (18 inches) from the
actuator. Personal injury or property damage may result from explosion if the seal is not installed.
Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous area, ingress protection, and
temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
Wiring connections must be in accordance with local, regional, and national codes for any given hazardous area approval.
Failure to follow the local, regional, and national codes could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or
explosion.

Valve Plug and Seat Ring
Disassembly
Key Numbers are referenced in figures 11 and 12.
1. Isolate the control valve from the line pressure, release pressure from both sides of the valve body (key 1), and drain
the process media from both sides of the valve.

CAUTION
The following steps are intended to prevent damage to the valve plug (key 3) and seat ring (key 2) during the removal of the
bonnet and actuator.

2. For Positioning Actuators
•Command the valve to anywhere between 10% and 20% travel.
•Isolate power and signal.
•Proceed to step 3.
For ON/OFF Actuators
•Command the valve to open or close, and cut the power when the valve is at mid­stroke.
•Isolate power and signal.
•Proceed to step 3.
3. Break the hammer nut (key 6) loose with a hammer. Continue turning the hammer nut by using a hammer or a
large adjustable wrench, tightened around one ear of the hammer nut. If the bonnet is stuck on the valve, continue
to unscrew the hammer nut. The hammer nut will contact the spring pins (key 7) and will force the bonnet out of
the valve. Carefully lift the actuator, bonnet, and valve plug assembly from the valve body.

WARNING
The spring pins must always be in place during valve operation. They provide a safeguard against injury when the unit is
being disassembled.

4. Use a socket wrench to loosen the seat ring (key 3).
5. Remove the seat ring (key 3) and seat ring gasket (key 9) from the valve body.
6. To replace the plug, the stem nut (key 42) must be removed to expose the groove pin (key 4). Open the
explosion­proof enclosure (key 60), using a 13mm wrench.
7. Remove the stem nut (key 42) using a 11/16 inch wrench; insert a punch in the hole in the stem to restrict rotation
of the stem while removing the stem nut. The travel indicator (key 32) may need to be moved to expose the hole.
8. Push the stem downward just far enough to expose the groove pin (key 4) on the plug.
9. Remove the plug by driving out the groove pin and unscrewing the valve plug from the stem.

WARNING
Be careful to avoid damaging the seating surface on the valve plug or seat ring as damage in these areas will allow
excessive leakage at shutoff. Avoid damaging the highly polished valve stem surface. A damaged valve stem could cut the
packing and allow process fluid to leak to the atmosphere.

Assembly
Refer to figures 9, 10, 11, and 12.
1. If the stem was removed during packing disassembly, insert the stem back into the valve/actuator assembly.
2. Ensure the upper packing spacer (key 48) is installed, as shown in figure 9.
3. Using a non-marring installation tool, such as a 12-inch length of 1/2 inch PVC pipe, push the first anti-extrusion
washer (key 12) fully into the packing box by hand. Then, use the packing spacer (key 14) to fully seat the
anti-extrusion washer by firmly tapping the packing spacer against the anti-extrusion washer with a hammer and
the PVC pipe.
4. Remove the packing spacer from the packing bore.

CAUTION
All D4 packing kits include a single use packet of high performance fluorinated grease. This is the only acceptable D4
packing lubricant.

Note
In the following procedure, carefully install each packing ring individually over the valve stem and push completely into the
packing box with a non-marring tube. A 12-inch length of 1/2 inch PVC pipe works well for this. It is recommended that the
lubricated packing rings be installed individually rather than pushed in as a set.

5. Apply a 3mm (1/8 inch) bead of the supplied high performance fluorinated grease (key 44) around the groove of
the female packing adaptor as shown in figure 10 and install over the valve stem (key 16).
6. Apply a 3mm (1/8 inch) bead of the supplied high performance fluorinated grease (key 44) around the groove of
the packing ring as shown in figure 10 and install over the valve stem.
7. Install the male packing adaptor, lower anti-extrusion washer (key 10), and lower packing spacer over the valve
stem as shown in figure 9.

8. Firmly press all packing parts into the packing bore with a tube.
9. Install the five Belleville springs (key 11) over the valve stem. The Belleville springs should be single-stacked with the
inside diameter of the inner spring contacting the packing spacer (key 14), and the outside diameter of the outer
spring contacting the packing retainer (key 10).
10. Lubricate the threads of the packing retainer with anti-seize and install into the bonnet using a 1-5/8 inch wrench.
Make sure the Belleville springs are completely enclosed by the packing retainer as shown in figure 9.
11. Torque the packing retainer to 136 NSm (100 lbfSft). The packing retainer has been installed correctly when a
metal-to-metal contact has been made between the packing retainer end and the bonnet (key 5). The packing
retainer threads should be completely enclosed by the bonnet.
12. Follow steps 1 through 9 of the Valve Plug and Seat Ring Assembly section in this instruction manual.

A.2 Diagnostic Flags
The diagnostic register holds a 16 bit value that represents 16 individual flags, when set (value ‘1’), this indicates the
following conditions have occurred or are still present, the highest 7 bits are latching and will be present in the register
even if the initial cause for the flag being set is removed. If these flags are set, a reset needs to be performed to clear
the fault.

A.2.1 Fault in NV Memory
This is a severe fault and is usually seen when the firmware is upgraded with a program that uses a different
EEPROM/Non-volatile memory map. If this is not the case then the probable cause is a fault in the memory hardware.

A.2.2 Motor Assembly Stall
The valve plug was unable to move to the commanded position. The drive has attempted to move the motor by
applying a non-zero PWM signal, and the speed has not been detected as greater than 0 with a 400ms period. This
fault latches and needs to be reset.

A.2.3 Speed Measurement Fault
The controller detected pulses that correspond to the motor going much faster than the speed the speed
measurement system is designed for — the integrity of the measurement cannot be relied upon. This fault latches and
needs to be reset.

A.2.4 System or Watchdog Fault
The software system has been reset and this flag is set at power up if the case of the reset was the onboard watchdog
either timing out OR being forced by program function call. This flag is used as an indication that this type of reset has
occurred.

D103597X012

A.2.5 Overspeed Condition
The drive speed was detected as being over the speed 3300RPM. This fault latches and needs to be reset.

A.2.6 Calibration Span Not in Legal Range
Following a calibration the detected mechanical travel was detected as being too short for the valve type. This fault
latches and needs to be reset.

A.2.7 Fault in NV Memory — recovered settings
This fault is similar to Fault in NV Memory but is different in that the settings were recovered, however it is possible the
fault was due to a setting being changed during a power cycle. The settings need to be validated before valve
operation.

A.2.8 Communications Timeout
This flag is set after a timeout or loss of valid communications, it will be cleared if communications is reestablished
with the valve controller. If this flag is set and the control demand is set to be taken from the Modbus then the valve
will be commanded to the ‘Loss of communications position’ in setting accessed at Modbus register 40034.

A.2.9 Valve was Shutdown while Moving
The valve was actuating while power was removed, the position information may be unreliable. Command valve to 0%
to assure position information is accurate.

A.2.10 Valve Span Calibrated
The valve is calibrated.

A.2.11 Valve Position Controller Active
The valve is being actively controlled to go to a demanded position. The speed and position control loop logic is
setting the pwm and direction demands to the ValuDrive motor.

A.2.12 Analog Input Below 3mA/0.75V
The analog input is below a set threshold of 3mA. If since being powered up this level has been met the flag ‘Analog
input initialized’ will be set. If the control source is the analog input and this flag is set then the valve will be
commanded to actuate to the ‘Loss of control input’ position.

A.2.13 Motor Overspeed Coast Condition
The drive speed was detected as being over the speed 2500RPM. The flag is cleared if the speed falls below the coast
threshold level. This flag is used purely as a diagnostic.

A.2.14 Modbus Command Initialized
The system has received a command to the Position demand register since being powered up. If Modbus is the
selected control mode the valve will be commanded to this position after the startup period.

D103597X012

D4 Valve with easy-Drive Actuator
November 2013

A.2.15 Analog Input Initialized
The analog input has been detected as having a control signal within the expected range of 3-20mA. If the analog
input is the selected control signal then this will activate the valve after the startup period.

A.2.16 Start Delay Active
This is a flag set during the startup phase of operation, if this is set then the valve may be recalibrated by sending the
calibration signal sequence (100% demand followed by 0%). It is cleared to indicate normal operation (recalibration will
then require a command to Modbus register 40003).

A.3 Register Description
A.3.1 40001 Position Demand — Proportional [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:
Description:

40001, Address 0x0000 (0).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a value between 0 and 100% to demand a valve position. This register will only be used by
the system if the control source (set by register 40035) is set for Modbus RTU control. If the
control type (set by register 40034) is On/Off then value will be resolved with a boolean set
operation for a Open/Closed position demand variable output (e.g. Values 0-49 = ’0’ and
50-100 = ‘100’). This variable needs to be set to 100% then 0% after a power-up to calibrate an
un-calibrated system.

control loop if the active control source is determined to be corrupt of out of normal
operating specification, this applies to modbus communications messages being absent or
the analog input being un-calibrated or below 3mA/0.75V(open control loop). Writes outside
of the legal range 0-100 will be rejected with an exception code.

A.3.27 40036 Deadband [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:
Description:

40036, Address 0x0023 (35).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register that holds an integer value of percentage hysteresis used to discriminate
against noise entering the control system from the selected control source, this can take a value
of 0-100%, e.g. a value of 100 would make the system only respond to 0 or 100% demands.
Writes outside of the legal range 0-100 will be rejected with an exception code.

A.3.28 40037 Low travel Cutoff [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:
Description:

40037, Address 0x0024 (36).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register that holds an integer value of percentage used as a clamp — any position
demand less than this value will be clamped to zero before being passed to the position control
system.

A.3.29 40038 Communications Timeout [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:
Description:

40038, Address 0x0025 (37).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register that holds a value 0-65535 that is the number of seconds for a timeout before
the modbus serial communications channel is determined to be uncommunicative
(0 - ~18Hrs). A valid addressed message must be received by the system within this time limit
if the active control source is Modbus RTU communications. If the time without
communications is exceeded the system will fault and the valve commanded to the default
loss of communications position. A value of 0 can be used to disable this feature. If
communications is resumed then the flag will be cleared and the valve will take the refreshed
position as a demand. The use of this register is shown in table 9 - Fault Register.

A.3.30 40039 Communications Address [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:
Description:

40039, Address 0x0026 (38).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register that holds a value 1-247 that is the Modbus address used by the system on
power up. Values outside the range 1-247 will return an exception code

A.3.31 40040 Communications Baudrate [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:
Description:

40040, Address 0x0027 (39).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register that holds a value 4-6 that is an enumeration of the baudrate used by the
system on power up.

A.3.32 40041 Parity [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:
Description:

34

40041, Address 0x0028 (40).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register that holds an enumeration of the parity type used by the Modbus serial
interface — either 0 for Odd, or 1 for Even in version 4.13 firmware (version 4.21 firmware
defines 0=Odd, 1=Even, 2=None). Writes outside of the legal range will be rejected with
an exception code.

A.3.33 40042 Reset Statistics [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:

40042, Address 0x0029 (41).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register used to reset the non volatile system statistics (such as number of hours run).
Writing a value of 1 to these registers will reset the values that accessed in registers
40013-40022 to 0.

Description:

A.3.34 40043 Analog Input Mode [Read & Write]
Register:
Function code:

40043, Address 0x002A (42).
0x10 — Write Multiple registers,
0x06 — Write Single register, or
0x03 — Read Holding registers.
This is a register that holds an enumeration 0-1 that sets the mode of operation for on/off and
proportional control. When in proportional mode (40033 = 1), a value of 0 sets the unit for
using a 1-5V voltage input. 1 sets up the unit for using a 4-20 mA current command input.
The scaling of the different modes is reflected in the scaling of the value reported in register at
40023 —‘Analog I/P value’. When in on/off mode (40033 = 0), a value of 0 sets the unit for using
both digital inputs, optimized for using the L2e level controller. 1 sets up the unit for using a
single digital input. See Operation for further details.
