The tools required for installation and assembly are not
included in the scope of delivery. If the positioner is ordered with an additional process controller
(optional), a current actual value signal (e.g. level, pressure,
temperature, flow) is evaluated and the positioner adopts the
function of a process controller.

The information required can be called-up on the two-line

display of the GEMÜ 1436 cPos. Self-explanatory help texts
that explain the meaning of the parameters called-up are also
displayed.
The GEMÜ 1436 cPos is operated using four keys.

2.5 Fail safe function

The GEMÜ 1436 cPos has a fail safe function which ensures
that the outlets are vented during a pneumatic and electrical
power supply failure.
This fail safe function is not a substitute for specific plant safety
requirements. The GEMÜ 1436 cPos is not a safety control
system.

A (AUTO):
The positioner is triggered by an external set value signal when
using the AUTO operating mode.
The positioner also processes an external actual value signal
when operated as a process controller.

M (MANUAL):
If MANUAL is selected together with operation as a positioner,
the valve can be opened and closed manually using the + and
– keys.
If MANUAL is selected together with operation as a process
controller, the set value can be changed manually using the +
and – keys.

When switching from AUTO to MANUAL the last set value

input when MANUAL was last selected is adopted.

positioner, the valve can be opened and closed manually using
the + and – keys.
If MANUAL-FLEX is selected together with operation as a
process controller, the set value can be changed manually
using the + and – keys.

When switching from AUTO to MANUAL-FLEX the last set

T (Test):
In TEST mode in the standard setting as positioner the device
may be operated manually for test purposes.It does not
process any external input signals
and works as a mere positioner.

1)
The fixed control function setting "DNO" should be used for valves with control function 8 (double acting with opening spring). When using the "Auto DNO" setting,
a deviating control function may be incorrectly detected during an automatic initialisation and the initialisation cannot be completed. The "Wrong Function" error
message appears.

2)
Fixed control functions (NC, NO, DA, Boost NC and Boost NO) must match in terms of the actuator's control function. An incorrect assignment may lead to faults and/
or inverted action, and should therefore only be used if the correct control function is known. In case of doubt, give preference to an "auto" detection.

3)
On versions with 300 l/min flow capability (booster), double the number of pilot valves is fitted and connected in parallel. If, in these versions, a control function is set
for simple pilot valves, this leads to a reduction in the flow capability.

4)
A manual initialisation should only ever be carried out if you have not achieved satisfactory control characteristics with the automatic initialisation or this was aborted
due to an error message.

10.2 Automatic operation (A:)

Automatic operation is the normal operating mode. The
initialised positioner responds to set value changes and
adjusts the valve accordingly.
The + and ‫ ـ‬keys have no function in this operating mode.
When operating the device as a positioner, the display on the
top left-hand side is operating mode (A), in the middle the
current set value (w) and on the top right-hand side the current
valve position (x) as a percentage.
When operating the device as a process controller, the display
on the top left-hand side is operating mode (A), in the middle
the current set value (w) and on the top right-hand side the
current actual value (x) of the externally connected process
sensor.

10.3 Manual operation (M:)

If MANUAL is selected together with operation as a positioner,
the valve can be opened and closed manually using the + and
‫ ـ‬keys.
If MANUAL is selected together with operation as a process
controller, the set value can be changed manually using the +
and ‫ ـ‬keys.

When switching from AUTO to MANUAL the last set value

controller).

W Pos X:
Displays the value of the current set value signal compared to the current valve position in %.

Pot Abs:
Displays the current travel sensor position (Caution, this value may be different to the Pos x value as the valve does not
make full use of the full 0-100 % range of the travel sensor).

Valve:
Displays the current position of the internal pilot valves ( = valve open).

Proc Ctrl In:

Displays the deviation between set value and actual value (when operated as a process controller) in %.

Proc Ctrl Out:

Displays the deviation between set value and actual value (when operated as a process controller).

If the deviation is too large, this is shown by a dot on the left-hand side or right-hand side of the display. In this case, the
controller can no longer work. All parameters on the control system route must be checked.

Pos Ctrl In:

Displays the deviation between set value and actual value (when operated as a positioner) in %.

Pos Ctrl Out:

Displays the deviation between set value and actual value (when operated as a positioner).

If the deviation is too large, this is shown by a dot on the left-hand side or right-hand side of the display. In this case, the

1.1 1.2

The configuration level of the GEMÜ 1436 cPos is protected in certain areas by various codes against improper changing of
parameters.
All menu items are marked by symbols indicating their write and read protection.

Example:
r0w2
X-Input: 4-20 mA

0-20 mA
4-20 mA

The following symbols are used for this purpose:

r0: no release required for reading

w0: no release required for writing

r1: lowest priority release code 1 required for reading

w1: lowest priority release code 1 required for writing

r2: medium priority release code 2 required for reading

w2: medium priority release code 2 required for writing

r3: top priority release code 3 required for reading

w3: top priority release code 3 required for writing

The codes can be changed or activated in the following menu:

Enter code for user access. The currently released user level is displayed at Active Level.
Example:
In Active Level 0 the positioner is disabled in all three user levels.
Only the parameters marked by the symbol r0w0 can be read and changed.

Logout:
Serves to log out of write protected and read protected areas in the menu. This function disables various menus depending on the
user level activated.
User level 0 is displayed in parameter Active Level.

NewCode1:
Enter the new code for the lowest user level (user level 1) (factory setting 0).

NewCode2:
Enter the new code for the medium user level (user level 2) (factory setting 0).

NewCode3:
Enter the new code for the top user level (user level 3) (factory setting 0).

Factory setting 0 means that all three codes are assigned 0. This means that all parameter menus are released.

Example:
If user level 2 is to be disabled, user level 2 and also user level 3 must be assigned a code.
During activation or deactivation of the user levels via the RS232-interface other codes can be assigned in the same
way as the direct input of codes via the GEMÜ 1436 cPos keypad.
This ensures specific disabling of the use of the positioner either directly via the positioner or via the RS232-interface
depending on the type of operation.
The codes for operation via the RS232-interface can only be assigned, activated or deactivated via the RS232-interface. The
codes for direct operation via the GEMÜ 1436 cPos keypad can only be assigned, activated or deactivated via the keypad on the
unit itself.

Interpretation of the controller parameters according to
Ziegler-Nichols:
The following process is intended to help to adapt the
controller to the controlled system (however this process can
only be implemented on controlled systems where it is possible
to let the controlled variable oscillate of its own accord).
● Set the values for Kp (Proc P) and Tv (Proc T) to their
minimum and the Tn (Proc I) value to 0 (this leads to the
smallest possible effect of the controller).
● Enter the desired set value manually in manual mode.
● Slowly increase Kp (Proc P) (decrease Xp), until the
controlled variable starts to oscillate harmoniously. Ideally
the control circuit should be stimulated to oscillate by erratic
set value changes during the Kp adjustment.
● Note the Kp value thus obtained as a critical proportional
action factor Kp,krit.
● Following this, determine the duration of an oscillation
as Tkrit. If possible, use a stopwatch to measure several
oscillations and use the arithmetic mean as Tkrit.
● Use the values thus determined for Kp,krit and Tkrit to
calculate the missing Kp, Tn and Tv parameters according to
the following table.
