RESIDUAL RISKS
This section is to help identify the risks associated with the Actuator System.
These items are identified as:
ACTUATOR & DRIVEN DEVICE CONNECTION:
The point at which the actuator couples to the driven device poses
the risk of injury due to pinch or crush point. Use appropriate
Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures when connecting Actuator to the
driven device.
MANUAL OVERRIDE HANDWHEEL ASSEMBLY:
The Manual Override Handwheel Assembly is to remain declutched until it is required. The Motor Shaft Cover MUST be in
place during normal operation. Failure to do so poses a risk of
injury.
MANUAL OVERRIDE HANDWHEEL ASSEMBLY:
When the Manual Override, Handwheel Assembly is used, adhere
to proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures.
FEEDBACK COVER:
Feedback Cover MUST be in place during operation. Failure to do
so may result in injury. Use proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures
before accessing feedback housing.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Wire Cover must be in place during operation. Use proper LockOut/Tag-Out procedures before removing cover.
SHOCK HAZARD:
Control Enclosure Cover must be closed during normal operation.
Failure to do so may result in injury. Use proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out

procedures before accessing Control Enclosure.


SHOCK HAZARD:
Hazardous voltage levels are present in the actuator. Only qualified
service and installation personnel should install or adjust this
device.
ALIGNMENT:
Ensure that the actuator shaft is in line with the valve plug stem.
Misalignment could damage the actuator and driven device or
cause injury to installation personnel.
AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING:
When installing the actuator, insure that line power to the unit is
shut off. When power is applied, the actuator may immediately
respond to the control signal. Inadvertent motion could damage
the actuator and driven device or cause injury to installation
personnel.
IMPORTANT:
When machining the control enclosure, thoroughly clean any metal
chips or residue from the enclosure before applying power.
HYDRAULIC OIL:
The standard oil used in REXA actuators or drives is Castrol
EDGE SAE 5W-50 motor oil. The introduction of other fluids may
cause damage to the unit.
SPRING UNDER TENSION:
REXA actuators, denoted by an E, R or U as the last character in
the model number, contain a spring under tension. Failure to
properly remove this force before disassembly can cause serious
injury to maintenance personnel. Contact REXA for disassembly

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11 xv

instructions.
RELIEVING INTERNAL PRESSURE:
When the electric power is off or the motor is not turning, hydraulic
pressure remains locked within the cylinder and/or accumulator.
This internal pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any
hydraulic fitting. Open the bypass cylinder (3/16 hex) located on
the power module for fail in place units and manually override all
solenoid valves that are closed.
Note: Reservoir lines may contain up to 60 psi (4 bar) that cannot be relieved.
Note: Accumulators will still contain up to 2000 psi (138 bar) of nitrogen gas that
cannot be relieved.

ACCUMULATOR FAIL OPTION:


REXA actuators denoted by an A as the last character in the model
number contain an accumulator charged with high-pressure
nitrogen. These actuators also have an automatic recharging cycle
for the accumulator. Failure to properly follow installation
instructions may cause serious injury to maintenance personnel
and/or damage to equipment.

NPT PLUG and CONDUIT CONNECTIONS:


During assembly, Loctite 767 compoundor its
equivalentmust be used on threads of all NPT plug and
conduit connections to ensure a watertight seal.
WHEN TO LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT
Lock-out/Tag-out before servicing.

Most equipment is installed along with safe switches allowing the equipment
to be disabled for minor repair. In general, these switches provide adequate

Safety Considerations

Safety Considerations

protection for minor repair, which is routine, repetitive, and necessary to the
normal use of the equipment. Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures shall be used for
the following situations.

Major repairs or overhaul.

When working alone, out of visual contact of the controlling switch.

Anytime there is danger of injury from an unexpected release of energy.

Any situation that threatens an employees safety.

Note: Always follow local & plant procedures.

PROCEDURES: LOCK-OUT/TAG-OUT
The following are minimum recommended procedures to be followed for
Lock-Out/Tag-Out:
1. Notify all affected areas and employees of the impending Lock-Out situation,
the reason for it, and estimated start and duration times.
2. Equipment shutdown and isolation: Place all switches in the off or
safe position. Disconnect sources of power, ensuring all sources of
both primary and secondary power to the equipment are interrupted.
3. Dissipate residual energy. Shutting down equipment does not mean
there is no energy left in it. Check for trapped pressure, compressed
spring or residual electricity in the system.
4. Lock-Out or Tag-Out all in-line points of control. In most cases, there
may be more than one place, or more than one lock, if several people
are working on the equipment.
5. Lock-Out verification: Take nothing for granted. Verify that the lockedout switch or control cannot be overridden. Test the equipment to
be certain that the locked-out switch is de-energized, and not simply

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11 xvii

malfunctioning. Test all control points and modes to be sure that the
equipment does not start.
6. Perform the work scheduled. Try to foresee all possible hazards. Ensure the new/repair work does not bypass the Lock-Out and reactivate
the system.
7. Lock and/or tag removal. All locks and tags are to be left in place
until all work is completely finished. This is especially true when more
than one employee is working on the equipment. A lock is never to be
removed except by the person who placed it there.
8. Equipment start-up. Make a final safety check before restarting equipment, to be certain it is safe to operate. Make sure of the following:
a) All tools and other items have been removed.
b) All machine guards are returned to their proper position. All electric,
hydraulic, pneumatic or other systems are properly reconnected.
c) All employees are clear of equipment.
Many of the Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures appear to be common sense, and
they are. Following them will ensure safe operation calibration, maintenance
and repair of equipment and/or processes, without dangerous surprises or
injury.

EDUCATION AND DISCIPLINE


The key to worker safety is education. The purpose of this document is for
everyone to understand the importance of Lock-Out/Tag-Out and how to
recognize when it is in use. By educating all employees to the importance of
following proper safety procedures, we ensure a safer working environment. As
with all safety procedures, a fair uniform enforcement of discipline must be in
place. Employees are responsible for their own safety, the safety of their fellow
employees and the safety of the facility.

1.1 ABOUT REXA


REXA is located in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, USA. We manufacture,
sell and service the highest quality actuators and drives. The driving force of
these units is a self-contained electrically driven hydraulic pumping system, thus
the term Electraulic is coined. This Installation and Operation Manual is part
of REXAs continuing commitment to supply only the highest quality products
and services to our customers. Customer support is our top priority at REXA.
Please contact the factory if this manual or your Sales Representative fails to
provide required information.

1.2 FACTORY SUPPORT

Fax: (508) 584-2525
Web: www.rexa.com

Note: It is important to have the model code and build number for both the
electronics and the actuator in addition to the serial number for the actuator so we
can provide better service.

This information can be found on the metal tags on the actuator and on the front
panel of the electronics. Reference the sections below on Actuator Identification
for more detailed explanation.

1.3 ACTUATOR IDENTIFICATION


The model number, mechanical build number, electronics build number and
serial numbers are all used to identify an individual actuator and electronics.
The model number will provide a general description of the actuator and
electronics as a set. These numbers also provide the information required to
correctly define what sections of this manual applies to a particular actuator.
The build number provides more detailed information of the components used in
the construction of the actuator. Finally the serial number will allow the factory
to determine any special considerations or features your actuator may have that
make it unique.
Since most applications are custom, this is the only identification that fully
allows us to identify the unit. The factory requires these numbers whenever
service or information is requested. Supplying the model, both mechanical and
electrical build numbers, and the serial number will ensure the quickest and
most accurate response to your request. These numbers can be found on the
ID tags located on the actuator and on the serial tag on the electronics. Figure
1.3 shows a typical ID tag.

1.3.2 Serial Number


Serial numbers are assigned to every job at REXA. Job specific information
as well as sales and engineering information are stored under a specific serial
number. A typical serial number will look like: C060000. The C06 indicates
the year of manufacture and the next four digits correspond to the unique order
number.

1.3.3 Build Number


The build number is a catalog number we use to designate in complete detail
the construction of the actuator. From this number all configurations can be
defined. There are two different categories of build numbers; one is for the
mechanical sub-assembly, and the second is for its corresponding electronics
sub-assembly. Within the mechanical sub-assembly there is a build number for
Rotary and Drive actuators, and a separate build number for Linear actuators.
The build numbers are shown in Appendix H.

1.5 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE


The REXA actuator requires minimal routine maintenance consisting primarily of
visual inspections. However, as with any mechanical device, components will
wear out. The frequency of use and the operating conditions are both factors
that will dictate the maintenance schedule. For additional information refer to
TM9-2. The following is a recommended list of visual inspections and their
frequency.
Note: With time and experience, a predictable schedule of maintenance and
replacement of seals may be developed.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 08/14

Monthly
Check the oil indicator for proper oil level. Add oil if necessary following
the instructions in section 1.6.4. When oil is added, a visual inspection of
the actuator is needed to determine where the loss of oil occurred and the
necessary repair required.
Note: Ambient temperature swings will affect the oil indicator position.

Quarterly
Perform a visual inspection of the actuators for damage, oil leakage, obstruction
and hazards. Repair items found damaged during this inspection in accordance
with company procedures. During this inspection, check the following items at
a minimum:
Mounting hardware and fasteners are tight
Oil level is correct
Tubing and fittings are tight
Tubing is not touching or rubbing
Power module fasteners are tight
Actuator can hold position without re correcting
Oil leaks
Spring washer stack for damage (not all models)
Check for moisture ingression or contaminants under the feedback
housing, wire cover and in the electronics enclosure
Ground wire connectivity
Ensure the feedback signal on the actuator is stable
Inspect wiring for cuts, abrasions or tears

General Information

1.6 OIL
The REXA Xpac Actuator is a sealed, self-contained, hydraulic positioning
system in which oil is pumped from one side of a double acting cylinder to the
other. An internal oil reservoir provides a source of make up oil for thermal
expansion and is an integral component within the module. As the size of
the actuator cylinders increase so does the need for additional make up oil,
therefore larger systems will have external reservoir bottles in addition to the
standard internal reservoir.
A closed-loop hydraulic system means that the oil in the actuator is isolated
from the environment and immune to degradation with time as a result of
exposure to moisture and other atmospheric elements. Since the hydraulic
system is sealed and spring-loaded, it is also unaffected by the orientation in
which the actuator is applied.
A periodic, visual inspection of the REXA Xpac Actuator is required in order to
verify that the hydraulic system has not been compromised for any reason. Any
external signs of a major oil leak or repeated refilling of the unit will indicate
damage to the actuator that will require servicing of the unit and investigation for
a cause.

1.6.1 Oil Level Inspection


1.6.2 Standard Units
There is a reservoir indicator on the actuator body located on the same face as
the motor shown in Figures 1.6.2-11.6.2-3. It is used to display the oil level
within the actuator. The indicator is a silver rod with a scale beside it reading
HOT, OK and ADD. As the unit cools down and heats up the indicator
will move in and out. At 70F the indicators ideal position will be in the middle
of the OK region. The unit may be indicating near the ADD limit if the
ambient temperature is lower and will indicate in the HOT region if the ambient
temperature is elevated. The reservoir volume has been sized for 110F
temperature swings. Reference Figures 1.6.2-1 through 1.6.2-3 showing the
different indication levels.

Larger units will require additional make up oil and an external reservoir will be
plumbed in series with the internal reservoir. The internal reservoir will still show
the oil level however there is also an indicator rod in the external reservoir. At an
ambient condition of 70F it should be protruding out approximately 3- inches
as measured from the base of the bushing shown in Figure 1.6.2-4.

General Information

1.6.3 Accumulator Fail


In an accumulator fail unit the reservoir contains oil for thermal expansion and
also provides oil to charge the accumulator system. There are two different style
accumulator reservoir bottles used depending on the size of the system. The
first type uses a visual indicator rod as shown in Figure 1.6.2-4 and is typically
used on smaller units. As the reservoir volume needs increase, a gas pressurized
reservoir bottle is used and a pressure gauge is provided (Figure 1.6.3) to show
the oil level.

Figure 1.6.3 Reservoir Gauge


In order to check the level of the oil in an accumulator system you must locate
the Auxiliary Reservoir Settings label shown below. This can be found on the
reservoir bottle.

1.6.4 Filling
If the addition of oil is required, it should be filled with Castrol EDGE SAE
5W-50 motor oil (Figure 1.6.4-1). In special applications the type of oil used is
system dependant and the user should refer to the system documentation. The
actuator does not need to be taken out of service when adding oil.
Note: Although Castrol Edge oil is recommended, oil of equal quality may be used.

Figure 1.6.4-1 Castrol EDGE


REXA Xpac Actuators are filled through a standard Schrader-style Fill Valve
located on a face of the Reservoir Assembly. Use any oil gun equipped with a
Schrader-style fitting. The mating half of a Schrader-style fitting can be obtained
at any auto parts store, purchased through a REXA Sales Rep, or purchased
directly from REXAs Inside Sales Office. The following steps will guide a user to
successfully fill a REXA Xpac Actuator with oil:
NOTE: DO NOT OVERFILL THE RESERVOIR. While overfilling will not harm the
actuator on non-accumulator units, overfilling will force oil from the Thermal Expansion
Valve. Overfilling will also promote oil weeping from the relief valve due to thermal
expansion. If an accumulator unit is over filled, the reservoir can be over pressurized
and catastrophic seal damage can occur.

PROCEDURE (9 steps):

General Information

1.6.5 Overfilling, Oil Weeping & Thermal Expansion


All REXA Xpac Actuators contain a Thermal Expansion Valve located next to
the Schrader-style Fill Valve. If an actuator is overfilled with oil, it should be
expected that oil will purge out of the Thermal Expansion Valve. Simply wipe-off
whatever oil may be purged.
The Thermal Expansion Valve is built into every REXA Xpac Actuator in order to
allow the actuator to relieve the Thermal Reservoir of excess oil pressure due to
thermal expansion. Thermal expansion refers to the volumetric changes a fluid,
such as oil, experiences given changes in environmental temperature.
It is not uncommon to discover trace amounts of residual oil collected around
the Thermal Expansion Valve of an actuator if the unit has been overfilled.
This residual oil is typically the result of oil weeping from the relief valve as
the ambient temperature increases causing the oil to expand. As previously
mentioned, the actuator is a closed-loop hydraulic system, and any increase in
oil volume will be purged. On large oil volume actuators REXA adds an external
auxiliary reservoir in order to compensate for the greater volume of oil that may
expand due to increases in ambient temperature.
If the temperature is lowered, the reservoir indicator will retract as the oil volume
decreases. Oftentimes, users will mistake the indicator retraction as a sign
that the actuator has lost oil due to a service issue. If a user adds oil to the
actuator at this time, oil will likely purge out of the Thermal Expansion Valve
upon an eventual rise in ambient temperature. It is when oil is evidently leaking,
or collected in large amounts somewhere on, or dripping off, a REXA Xpac
Actuator that a service-related issue is likely, and oil filling is needed. For this
reason, we ask users to perform periodic inspections with ambient temperature
changes in mind.

1.6.6 Air Purging


As previously noted, all REXA Xpac Actuators are characterized by a closedloop, hydraulic system that is responsible for their distinguished reputation
as being unmatched in rigidity, precision and control. This is, in part, due to

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 8/14

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 08/14

17

the advantages of using hydraulics in place of pneumatic actuation. Air is a


compressible medium that results in many inherent disadvantages, such as poor
control and rigidity, when used in actuation.
In light of these facts, it is obvious that the presence of any air in the closedloop hydraulic system of a REXA Xpac Actuator is extremely disadvantageous
and detracts from performance of the actuator. Certain repair and replacement
procedures will involve exposing the internal hydraulic system to the outside
environment and may introduce unwanted air to the system. The presence of air
in the hydraulic system is likely to cause problems such as unstable positioning.
For this reason, whenever the closed-loop hydraulic system of a REXA
Xpac Actuator is opened to the atmosphere, it is imperative that necessary
steps are taken to remove any air from the system. When purging a REXA
Xpac Actuator of air, there are two main areas of concern: the reservoir, and the
hydraulic system.

1.6.7 Reservoir Purging

Figure 1.6.7-1 Reservoir Purging Ports


1. It is important to first identify if the reservoir has entrapped air. This
can be done by pressing in on the reservoir indicator. If it does not feel
stiff, there is air in the reservoir system.
Note: Be aware of external reservoirs or additional modules; press evenly on all
reservoirs to check for entrapped air.

General Information

18

General Information

2. Depending on the orientation of the actuator the highest purge point on


the module must be identified, as any entrapped air will migrate to the
highest point. Purge Port 1 and Purge Port 2 (Figure 1.6.7-1) are both
at corners of the reservoir volume and most likely will be the highest
points.
Note: Some modules will have auxiliary reservoirs attached and plugged ports
on those reservoir may be the highest points.

3. Slowly unthread the highest purge point fastener and have an oil catch
pan ready. It may not be necessary to fully remove these plugs as air
will purge out with a few threads still installed.
4. Retighten the plug before proceeding.
5. Refill to the correct oil level.
Note: Some actuator orientation will not allow for proper purging and the actuator
may need to be removed and re-orientated for purging, then re-installed. The
best position for purging is with purge port 1 facing up.

1.6.8 Hydraulic System Purging


NOTE: It is important to purge the reservoir before continuing.

To purge the actuator of air, it is recommended that you use the REXA bleed kit
(P/N: K09275) See Figure 1.6.8-2 for details.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 8/14

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 08/14

19

1. Change the Max Man Spd to 30% or less. (Refer to section 6.1.5.)
2. Open the manual bypass to relieve internal pressure. (Refer to C.5.)
NOTE: Some units can have a solenoid instead of a manual bypass; ensure that
the solenoid is open before proceeding. (Refer to section 1.8.4.)

3. Locate the best available pressure ports to bleed air from the system.
The best position is the highest point that is accessible and will allow air
to escape the system. Keep in mind that the porting may be located on
the module, cylinder, manual hydraulic pump or SCL, etc.
4. Attach the REXA bleed kit (Figure 1.6.8-2) to the open ports Extend/CW
and Retract/CCW. Follow the hydraulic lines to differentiate between
pressure direction (Figure 1.6.8-1).

Figure 1.6.8-1 Extend/CW and Retract/CCW Ports


5. Run the actuator through its full stroke constantly pumping oil into the
reservoir. Do not let the reservoir run dry, or you will need to purge
the reservoir and start over.

1.8 THEORY OF OPERATION


1.8.1 Overview
The REXA Xpac is a microprocessor controlled, self-contained, Electraulic
(electro-hydraulic) actuator or drive designed specifically for modulating service.
Hydraulic, electronic and mechanical technologies are combined to achieve
REXAs state-of-the-art line of actuators.
The patented Flow Match System is simply described as a highly efficient
method of pumping hydraulic fluid (motor oil Castrol EDGE SAE 5W-50) from
one side of a double acting cylinder to the other. Once the correct position
is reached, the motor shuts off. Power is not required to maintain actuator
position. The hydraulics are controlled by a dedicated microprocessor
contained within the control enclosure. Software designed for the Xpac allows
the user to set actuator operation parameters.
Note: Although Castrol Edge oil is recommended, oil of equal quality may be used.

The Xpac consists of two major components, the actuator (cylinder, feedback
and Electraulic power module) and the control enclosure. The actuator is installed
on the driven device, while the enclosure is remotely mounted. Connecting the
actuator and enclosure are the module cable and the feedback cable.

1.8.2 Actuator
The heart of the actuator is the Electraulic Power Module. Consisting of a motor,
gear pump, flow match valve (FMV), make-up oil reservoir, heater, thermostat
and bypass solenoid (spring fail units only), the Power Module delivers oil
at a nominal 2000 psi to a hydraulic cylinder. Four different size modules, B,
C, D and D, are available meeting hazardous area but non-explosion proof
requirements. For applications requiring hazardous area and explosion proof
approvals, two different power modules, C and D are available. The major
functional difference between the sizes is pumping volume and thus, the
maximum stroking speed of an actuator.
The B and C modules are driven with a stepper motor and therefore have a
slower frequency response then the D series modules which are driven with

General Information

22

General Information

servo motors. More detailed information on the frequency response and flow
rates can be found in product/technical memos. The only visible difference
among all 4 sizes of modules is the motor.
There are three types of hydraulic cylinders. On smaller size linear actuators
(thrust of 10000 lb or less and strokes of 6 inches or less), the L series cylinder
is manufactured from a solid block of aluminum. Larger size C series cylinders
are made of a fabricated tie-rod construction. The third type, used on rotary
(series R) and drive (series D) units, is a rack and pinion rotary design.
A position sensor, provides feedback position to the control electronics. The
feedback assembly is sealed in a NEMA 4X cover and mounted within or
adjacent to the cylinders. The connection of the position sensor is by direct
mechanical means.
The B and C modules shown in Figure 1.8.2-1&2 are the two sizes of stepping
motor modules. They both have cylindrical motor cases. The motor case
lengths are depicted in Figure 1.8.2-1&2 for module identification purposes.
With the exception of pump and motor size, these two modules share many of
the same components so both modules will be depicted on one rebuild diagram
for each of the applicable service sections.

the exception of pump and motor size, these two modules share many of the

1.8.3 Control Sub-Assembly


The control sub-assembly consists of the enclosure, Central Processing Unit
(CPU), Power Supply, Motor Drivers, Main Power Transient Suppression, and a
termination area.
The control sub-assembly also provides the user interface. The enclosure
mounted 2-line x 20 character/line Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) and 5
button keypad will be the point for setup and calibration of the actuator as well
as visual feedback of actuator status. The Keypad and Display can be optionally
mounted inside the Control Enclosure should the installation warrant it.
The CPU consists of a microprocessor, an Analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, an
isolated 4-20 mA Position Transmitter, Electronic (PhotoMOS) limit switches,
as well as warning and alarm relays. The CPU will also accept optional I/O
interface boards.
The power supply develops DC voltages from the incoming AC Power. The
DC voltages, +5, +15, -15 and +24 Vdc, provide power to the CPU, actuator
feedback circuit, the optional interface boards as well as optional loop supply
(+24 Vdc) for the Position Transmitter.
The motor driver is the component that supplies power to the motor. It can
either be a DC Stepper Motor Driver or an AC Servo Motor Driver, depending
on the model actuator. The motor driver accepts command signals from the
CPU and provides DC Step Pulses (Stepper Motor) or Pulse Width Modulated
(PWM) DC Voltage (Servo Motor) to the module mounted motor to drive it in one
direction or the other. There is one motor driver for each power module.
Field wiring is terminated inside the control enclosure. Refer to Tables 1.8.3-1
and 1.8.3-2 for Terminal Block ratings.

1.8.4 Operational Summary


The CPU converts an incoming control signal into a target position. The current
position is determined through the feedback assembly mounted on the actuator.
The difference between the target and current position is the error. If the error
exceeds the user set deadband then the CPU will initiate corrective action by
starting the motor.
A reversible hydraulic pump is driven by the motor. The pump can pressurize
either side of a double acting cylinder through one of two sides of the Flow
Matching Valves, FMV-1 and FMV-2. Each FMV side is comprised of a ported
spool with an integral pilot operated check valve.
In the example in Figure 1.8.4-1; to move the cylinder piston to the left, the
pump turns in the direction to pressurize FMV-2 through port A2. The spool in
FMV-2 becomes unbalanced by the pressure differential and moves to the left,
lifting its check valve, opening port D2 to port B2 and port A2 to port E2.
High pressure fluid flows through Port E2 to the right side chamber of the
cylinder. Since the hydraulic circuit is closed, the same amount of oil that flows
into the right side of the piston must be extracted from the left side. This allows
oil movement without an active reservoir. This oil flows through the open check
valve of FMV-2 and into pump suction.
By rotating the pump in the opposite direction, the FMVs operate in reverse to
move the cylinder piston to the right. When the pump stops, both check valves
close, and the hydraulic oil is locked within the cylinder. Motor operation is not
required to maintain position.

General Information

General Information

Each actuator has an internal hydraulic bypass circuit. This circuit creates a
direct connection from one side of the hydraulic cylinder to the other. It is useful
for relieving internal pressure in the actuator and allowing an external load to
move the actuator. The nut labeled bypass on the actuator face as shown in
Figure 1.8.4-2 controls this circuit. Turning this bypass in all the way puts the
unit in its normal operation. Turning the bypass out 1 to 2 turns will open this
bypass circuit.
Note: This bypass nut is only on units without internal solenoids.

Each pressure gauge on the actuator has its own on/off isolation valve (Figure
1.8.4-2). This valve should remain off unless pressure is being read from the
gauge. This will protect the gauge from constant cycling, thus extending its life.
When closing this valve you will create an internal pressure trap in the gauge;
therefore, you should not expect to see 0 psi when off.

3.3.2 Cable Routing


Important for proper operation.
Cables between Control Enclosure and Actuator should be run in flex conduit,
rigid conduit or dedicated cable tray. It is important to separate Low level
signals from High Power cables. Please adhere to the following:

Actuator Feedback and Resolver cables can be in the same tray or


conduit.

If Feedback and Resolver cables are run with other equipment cables,
be sure those cables are signal level only. No high power Cables.

Power Module Cable(s) for Stepper Motor units can be in the same
conduit with each other, but must be separate from the Feedback Cable.

The Power Module cable is considered a High Power cable.

Motor Power Cable(s) (Servo Motors) must be in their own conduit or


tray. Failure to do so may cause the high frequency of the PWM
(Pulse Width Modulated) signal to affect surrounding equipment or
actuator operation.

Heater/Solenoid Cable can be in the same conduit or tray with other AC


signals.

3.4 CONDUIT AND CONDUIT FITTINGS


Conduit and Conduit fittings suitable for the environment must be used.
Failure to do so may cause ingress of contaminants or water into the
enclosure.

A removable gland plate is provided on the bottom of the Control


Enclosure. The gland plate can be removed to machine the appropriate
conduit openings. Be sure to reattach the gland plate securely with its
gasket in place.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12

49

Seal all conduit threads with Locktite 567 or equivalent to prevent


ingress of moisture.

Be sure fittings are tightened securely.

Must maintain IP66 for steel, IP67 for stainless and fiberglass electronics
enclosures, as well as actuator assembly.

For applications requiring hazardous and explosion proof systems, conduit


and conduit fittings must be properly installed to NEC (National Electrical Code) wire standards to meet the area classifications:

CSA Class I Division 1, Groups C and D; -40C to 65C; T3

ATEX II 2G EEX d IIB, T3, -40CTamb65C.

Follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) and appropriate Local Codes
for installation of Industrial equipment.

Refer to Appendix P for Interconnect Diagram.


WARNING: The position transmitter used in the REXA CPU is extremely
accurate and sensitive. Because of its high sensitivity, directly
shorting this circuit with an ammeter can cause damage to the
circuit. The load resistance of the DCS needs to be present
to protect this circuit from a direct short. Without the load
resistance (i.e., using an ammeter), premature failure of the
Position Transmitter may occur. Refer to the Troubleshooting and
Repair Manual for proper testing procedure.

4.2.2 Rotary Mounting (Universal Spring Fail)


The universal rotary spring package is a bolt on addition to the REXA R series
actuator. The unit may rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction
upon power loss. To complete this feature, a normally open solenoid valve is
installed in the power module and usually wired to the input power. Please refer
to Product Memo 4, Spring Fail, for additional information.
If the unit has a REXA solenoid valve it will have the toggle lever shown below.
Toggling this lever will override the function of the solenoid. If the unit has no
power and you need to use the Handwheel, Drill Drive or Manual Hydraulic
Pump the lever must be in the solenoid override position as shown in Figure
4.2.2.
CAUTION:
Make sure the toggle lever is returned to its normal position
when solenoid power is returned, or the spring fail function
will not operate properly.

4.2.3 Rotary Mounting Accumulator


Fail mode operation uses a piston type accumulator with nitrogen gas on one
side of the piston and oil on the other. The accumulator is sized to provide full
rated output at end of stroke during fail mode.

Mechanical Installation

The following operation requires the unit to be in the closed position; if it is not,
use the handwheel or manual hydraulic pump. Refer to Appendix M, Manual
Operators, for information concerning the Handwheel or Manual Hydraulic
Pump. If the unit is not supplied with a Handwheel or Manual Hydraulic Pump,
the unit must be connected to the electronics and manual operation used to
drive it to the closed position. Refer to Manual Mode in section 6.
a)

With the actuator separated from its mounting, rotate the driven device
to the closed position.

Note: Be aware that not all bolt patterns are square; refer to layout drawing for
reference.

b)

Place the mounting bracket on the driven device.

c)

Hand tighten fasteners.

d)

Install the shaft coupling if applicable. Confirm the correct position of


the shaft key position on both actuator and driven device.

Note: Be sure to use anti-seize compound on mating surfaces.

e)

Carefully install actuator to the assembly; hand tighten fasteners.

Note: If a discrepancy exists between mating connections, check orientation of


assembly components.

f)

Check alignment of assembly. Ensure that the actuator face and mounting bracket are parallel, with no gaps.

g)

Tighten fasteners in a star pattern.

4.3 L SERIES (LINEAR)


REXA L series actuators utilize a sliding stem, piston-style cylinder. Mounting
to the driven device is typically done with a bolted yoke assembly. Stem
connections will vary by application. Refer to Appendix B for information on
Stem Connection & Seat Loading Methods.

4.3.1 Linear Mounting (Fail in Place)


Actuators are usually shipped in the retracted position. Refer to Appendix
M, Manual Operators, for information concerning the Handwheel or Manual
Hydraulic Pump. Refer to Appendix B, Stem Connections and Seat Loading
Methods.

CAUTION!

When mounting linear actuators, take care to avoid


mechanical misalignment that would cause side-load to the
actuator output shaft. Be sure that the driven device is
straight and true. Severe side-load will cause excessive
wear to both the actuator and driven device.

a)

With the actuator separated from its mounting, rotate the driven device
to the retracted position.

b)

Retract the actuator stem to a position that will allow mounting the
actuator without contacting the valve stem. If the optional handwheel is
not available, the unit must be connected to the electronics and manual
operation used to drive it to the closed position. Refer to Manual Mode
in section 6.

c)

Place the actuator onto the driven devices mating surface and loosely
install the mounting hardware.

Note: Loose set up allows for float and self-alignment.

d)

Extend the actuator stem until the coupling contacts the valve stem.

e)

Thread the driven device stem into the coupling for a distance of at
least one and one half times the stem diameter and use a lock nut
against the coupling to prevent the stem from rotating out.

Note: There are wrench flats machined on the actuator stem for this purpose. No
damage will occur if the actuator stem is rotated.

f)

If the actuator is installed in a vertical position, manually stroke it to


allow the stem connection to self-align.

g)

Securely tighten the mounting connection. Visually inspect the stem for
any noticeable indication of bending.

For all other orientations, support the actuator in a manner that prevents any
noticeable indication of stem bending. Securely tighten the mating connection.
Manually stroke the actuator and carefully observe the stem for any evidence of
lateral (side to side) misalignment.
h) For verification, once the mounting hardware is tight and the actuator is
installed, de couple the actuator shaft. If any movement of the actuator
shaft can be seen during the process, loosen the mounting hardware,
realign the actuator and repeat steps f, g and h.

4.3.2 Linear Mounting (Spring Fail)


The spring fail option for linear actuators consists of a spring mounted
underneath the hydraulic cylinder and a normally open solenoid valve installed
on top of the power module. The spring can be specified to extend or retract
the stem upon power loss. It is not field reversible. The solenoid valve is usually
wired to the input power.
If the unit has a REXA solenoid valve it will have the toggle lever shown in
Figure 4.3.2. Toggling this lever will override the function of the solenoid. If the
unit has no power and you need to use the hand wheel, drill drive or manual
hydraulic pump the lever must be in the solenoid override position as shown
in Figure 4.3.2. Note that the REXA solenoid valve option is only available for
systems with B, C, 1/2D, and D power modules rated for hazardous but nonexplosion proof environments.
CAUTION:
Make sure the toggle lever is returned to its normal position
when solenoid power is returned, or the spring fail function
will not operate properly.

4.4 D SERIES (DRIVE)


By the addition of a rugged L-shaped mounting base, a lateral load bushing
and a lever arm, the R series actuator becomes an excellent drive. Applications
requiring long strokes or non-axial loaded rotary motion are effectively solved by
this unit. Traditionally, a drive-type actuator is used for DAMPER control.

4.4.1 Drive Mounting


The base of a REXA drive contains a four-hole mounting pattern. These holes
have been sized to accept the appropriate diameter bolt for the imposed load.
Table 4.4.1 lists the base hole, minimum bolt diameter and recommended
bolt torques. Standard bolting or threaded studs are acceptable, but material
strength must be an SAE Grade 8. Hardened load washers and lock washers
must be used. The Handwheel or Manual Hydraulic Pump is used to position
the Drive Arm.

4.4.2 Drive Arm


Connection to the driven device (linkage) is by means of the drive arm. Standard
arms are based upon actuator size. Each arm includes multiple connection
points. See Figure 4.4.2-1. Custom arms are available upon request.

Figure 4.4.2-1 Drive Arm Assembly Reference Drawing

Mechanical Installation

60

Mechanical Installation

The connecting link and other linkage should be selected to withstand the
maximum load imposed by the drive. This will vary depending upon the
effective length of the arm. The following equation should be used to determine
the minimum safe working load of the connecting linkage:
Load=

Rated Drive Torque

Effective Lever

For most installations, the optimum alignment of the drive arm and the driven
(damper) arm is when they are parallel to each other and perpendicular
to the connecting linkage at mid-rotation. Refer to Figure 4.4.2-2. This is
accomplished by a combination of linkage length and drive arm adjustments.
A slotted spline connection between the drive arm and shaft provides multiple
mating angles (5-10 intervals).

5 Start-Up Considerations

5.1 START-UP CHECKLIST


At this time the actuator, electronics sub-assembly and driven device should
be installed. Before applying power to the unit and calibrating the actuator the
following items should be considered:

5.1.1 Inspection of Electronic Sub-Assembly Installation


Check the following:
Inspect incoming voltage connection.
Test for correct incoming voltage
Control signal connections are secure.
Outgoing signals are connected properly.
Interconnection cable wiring is correct at electronic sub-assembly,
actuator junction boxes and terminal blocks.
Feedback cables are connected and shielded properly at actuator/
electronics.

Start-Up Considerations

62

Start-Up Considerations

All ground wires are secured.


All electrical connections are tightened properly.
Conduit connections are secure and watertight with thread sealant.
Electronics are free of tools and debris.
Proper personnel has been notified for lock out/ tag out procedures.

5.1.2 Inspection of Mechanical Actuator Installation


Check the following:
Oil level is correct.
Motor and feedback wires are connected properly and securely.
Actuator mounting fasteners are tight.
Coupling/split clamp installed properly.
All conduit connections are secure and watertight with thread sealant.
All tools and equipment are clear of operating area.
Safety related covers and labels are installed and clearly marked.
Proper personnel has been notified for lock-out/tag-out procedures.

5.2 ALIGNMENT
Any noticeable bending of the actuator stem or driven device should be
immediately corrected. Not only will operation be impaired, but damage to the
actuator seals and bushings or driven device may occur. When mounting the
actuator to the driven device the actuator shafts and couplings MUST align
properly.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11 63

5.2.1 Lateral Alignment


Any misalignment needs to be corrected or it will reduce the life of the actuator
and cause damage to the driven device.
In most cases, lateral alignment is corrected by stroking the actuator with the
mounting or mating connection in a loosened condition. This will allow the
connection to self-align. If there is insufficient clearance, then the appropriate
bore diameters must be increased.

5.2.2 Longitudinal Alignment


LINEAR
Failure to reach full stroke is caused by a mechanical limitation within the
actuator or driven device. Incorrect yoke leg lengths or thread engagement
in the stem coupling may reduce the travel. In most cases, the required
adjustment is small and can simply be made by changing the length of thread
engagement of the stem coupling. Further adjustment can only be made by
changing the length of the yoke legs.
If the actuator is installed in a vertical position, manually stroke it to allow the
stem connection to self-align. Securely tighten the mounting connection.
Visually inspect the stem for any noticeable indication of bending.
For all other orientations, support the actuator in a manner so that there is no
noticeable indication of stem bending. Securely tighten the mating connection.
Manually stroke the actuator and carefully observe the stem for any evidence of
lateral (side to side) misalignment.
ROTARY (<90 Rotation)
Failure to reach the full 90 rotation is usually not binding, but rather an installation
problem. With the actuator separated from the driven device, rotate the driven
device to the closed position. Move the actuator in the same direction until the
end of rotary piston travel is reached. The connections between the driven device
and the actuator should be within 2-4 degrees. If a large discrepancy exists
between the mating connections, the adapter may be incorrect.

Start-Up Considerations

64

Start-Up Considerations

DRIVE
Drive units can create an extraordinary amount of force. Any misalignment of
the drive/driven arms, or incorrect linkage arrangements, can cause damage to
the actuator or the driven device. All mechanical connections and stroke limits
should be set carefully and inspected.

5.4 ROTARY AND DRIVE SPRING STOPS


Spring stops provide the actuator the means to prevent over-travel during a
fail safe condition. If the driven device does not limit over-rotation or overtravel, spring stops can be utilized for this purpose by turning the spring stop
adjustment screw in or out to modify the actuators final fail position.
To install a Spring Fail unit, position the spring lever to the 45 location by
extending the spring stop as shown in Figure 5.4. Rotate the driven device to
the required failure position. Adjust the spring stop to allow mating of the shafts
and alignment of the mounting bolts.

Figure 5.4 Universal Spring Alignment

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11 67

Once mounted, the spring stops should be adjusted to a position that transfers
torque onto the driven device at the fail position.

5.5 CYLINDER END STOPS


Cylinder end stops provide the actuator the means to prevent over-travel
during a fail safe condition. If the driven device does not limit over-rotation or
over-travel, cylinder end stops can be utilized for this purpose. These stroke
adjusters can reduce cylinder rotation 05 degrees.

Figure 5.5 Stroke Adjustment

CAUTION!

Ensure that there is no hydraulic pressure in the system prior


to cracking any hydraulic lines. All pressure gauges should
read 0 psi.

Note: Each actuator is tested and shipped from the factory with the thread seal
and jam nut lightly torquedenough to seal during factory acceptance testing.
This procedure assures that the sealing rubber is undamaged and will properly
seal once the stroke adjustor is fully adjusted in the field by the end user, and the
threaded elements are firmly tightened to full torque.

Figure 5.5.1-1 Cylinder End Stops


WARNING:
The Calibrated end points PL and PH must not be set with
the actuator against the cylinder end stop.
1. Position the actuator in the desired final fail position slightly beyond the
calibrated end stop. This can be done when calibrating PL and PH.
Note: Failure to follow this step will lead to a potential situation where the electronics
may try to drive the actuator beyond its physical limit, and a stall condition will
result.

2. Turn off the power breaker in the electronics.


3. Locate the correct stroke adjuster (refer to Figure 5.5.1-1).
4. Locate the hydraulic fitting (1) connected directly to the stroke adjuster
cylinder cap as shown in Figure 5.5. Loosen this fitting to allow oil to
escape during this adjustment process.
5. Loosen the jam nut (Figure 5.5.1-2) by turning counterclockwise. Back
off this jam nut 4 to 5 turns and move the countersunk washer away
from the thread seal and against the repositioned jam nut.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11 69

6. Using light oil and a small brush or squirt can, generously lubricate the
thread seal rubber and the threads of the adjustment screw.
7. Carefully pry the thread seal washer away from the end cap and then
pull and twist it back and forth to carefully slide it along the adjustment
screw threads to gain adjustment clearance.
8. The actuator stroke adjustment can now be made using the threaded
adjustment rod. This rod has a hollow hex in the end to allow easy
adjustment.
WARNING:
As the stroke adjusters are turned in, fluid will be displaced
and need to leak out of the system. Failure to exhaust fluid
will damage internal components of the actuator.
9. The actuator is shipped from the factory with this adjustment rod
threaded fully out to the end of travel to give the full rotation of the
actuator. The adjustment screw can only be rotated clockwise (inward)
from this shipped position.
Caution: A mechanical lock at the end of the threads restricts inadvertent
disassembly outward. Rotating the adjustment screw counterclockwise (outward)
from this end position may cause damage to the hardware.

Figure 5.5.1-2 End Stop Detail


10. Use an allen wrench drive inserted into the hollow hex adjustment screw
end to adjust the stroke adjustor. Rotate clockwise to decrease the
stroke of the actuator. Each stroke adjustor provides a minimum of 5
degrees of actuator rotation adjustment.

Start-Up Considerations

70

Start-Up Considerations

11. The number of adjustment screw rotations needed to achieve the 5 degree rotational adjustment of the actuator depends on the size (model)
of the actuator and the pitch of the adjustment thread on the adjustment
screw. The Table 5.5.1 shows this relationship.
12. After final positioning of the adjustment screw to achieve the desired
actuator rotation, readjust the position of the thread seal along the
adjustment screw threads to contact the end cap. Caution: use generous lubrication during this step to assure no damage to the rubber seal
by the threads.
13. Reposition the countersunk washer and the jam nut and torque the jam
nut to the requirements of the Table 5.5.1.
14. Tighten the hydraulic fitting that was loosened in step 4.

located externally. Refer to Figure 5.5.2. An external drive square is provided
on the adjustment screw end and can be driven by using a standard wrench.
No special lubrication of the threads is needed during adjustment.
The unit is shipped from the factory with the stroke adjustor positioned at the
full outward position as described above. Adjustment is made by disconnecting
the hydraulic line to vent out any displaced fluid, loosening the jam nut several
turns counter clockwise and then using the square drive to position the adjustor

Modes of Operation & Control Parameters

6.1.3 CALIBRATE Menu


The CALIBRATE menu consists of the following parameters:
Note: When changing Position Lo and Position Hi, the actuator will move.

Position Lo defines the actuator position corresponding to Signal


Lo setting. When Signal type is set to Contact Inputs, Position Lo defines the
actuator position corresponding to the Close Input.
Note: The span between Position Lo and Position Hi must be greater than 10%.

Position Hi defines the actuator position corresponding to the Signal Hi setting.


If the Signal type is set to Contact Inputs, Position Hi defines the actuator
position corresponding to Open Input.
Note: If a value for Position Lo is entered that is within 10.0% of the current
value of Position Hi, the value is accepted, and parameter Position Hi is displayed.
If the display shows the = blinking, it is ready to be set to a value more than
10.0% different than Position Lo. The menu will alternate between Position Lo
and Position Hi until a span greater than 10% is achieved. Similar action occurs
when setting Position Hi. While uncommon, if Driver Type (see Drives Menu) does
not match the actuator, a continuous loop between Position Hi and Position Lo
will occur.

Signal Lo is the Input Signal, typically 4 mA, that corresponds to Position Lo.

Signal Hi is the Input Signal, typically 20 mA, that corresponds to Position Hi.
Signal Lo and Signal Hi are only visible in the menu if Signal Type = Analog.
Range: 0.0 to 25.0 mA
Note: Unknwn appears if control signal failure occurs while calibrating.
Error appears, briefly, if an unacceptable value is entered. The unacceptable
value is rejected and the previous value is retained.
Note: If Failsafe does not = Off, input signal value must be greater than 2.5 mA
and the span must be greater than 3.8 mA. Refer to INPUTS menu.
Note: If Failsafe = Off, the span for Signal Hi must be greater than 3.8 mA or vice
versa.

Modes of Operation & Control Parameters

6.1.4 CONTROL Menu


The CONTROL menu provides the following:

Deadband sets the maximum deviation allowed between Input Signal and
current position before actuator movement in Auto mode.
Units: % of calibrated stroke
Range: 0.05 to 5.00 % of calibrated stroke`
The deadband should not be set any smaller than the process requires. Check
to ensure the actuator is not reacting to noise in the control signal, but to
actual signal changes.

Min Mod {Minimum Modulating} defines a set-point in the actuator stroke


below which the actuator will not modulate. Min Mod sets the upper limit
of a no-modulating band with respect to Position Lo. This may be used to
minimize seat wear.
Not in menu if parameter Signal Type = 1 Cont.
Operational in both Auto and Local Man/RemoteMan
Units: % of calibrated stroke (Refer to INPUTS Menu.)
Range: Off or 0.1 to 99.9 % of calibrated stroke

Bumpless {Bumpless Transfer} sets the total time the actuator takes to travel
from its current position to a new target control position when the actuator is
switched from either Manual or Setup into Auto. This feature is designed as
a safeguard in the event the control signal was changed while the actuator
was not in Auto mode. When the unit is switched into Auto and the Bumpless
parameter is On, the actuator seeks the new target position at less than normal

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 10/14

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 10/14 79

speed. The actuator will take 100 small steps to reach the new target position in
the time set as the bumpless parameter. A delay will be defined between each
step until the actuator reaches the new target position.
This feature only appears in the menu if the incoming control signal parameter
Signal Type is set to Analog or Commun.

If Bumpless is set to any value other than Off when the actuator is switched
to Auto and the deviation between the incoming control signal and the
actuators current position is LESS than ten times the dead band parameter,
the operation of the actuator is the same as Bumpless = Off.

If Bumpless is set to any value other than Off when the actuator is switched
to Auto and the current deviation between the incoming control signal and
the actuators current position is GREATER than ten times the dead band
parameter, the operation of the actuator is to:

Divide the Bumpless time parameter by 100 to define the time interval
between actuator steps. These steps are how the actuator will track to
its new control position.

Divide the deviation between the current actuators position and the new
control signal position by 100. This defines the size of each step.

Once the actuator reaches the control signal set point the actuator will resume
normal operation.
Only in menu if Signal Type=Analog and Accumulator=No, and Booster Pump=
No.
See INPUTS and DRIVES menus.
Units: Seconds
Range: Off or, from 10 to 990 seconds

Seat Ld Cyl {Seat Load Cylinder}: Specifies whether or not the actuator employs
a seat load cylinder. This yes or no option is set at the factory.
Refer to Appendix B, Stem Connection & Seat Loading Methods, for additional
information.

Seat Load {Seat Load Switching}: Specifies that the actuator does not employ
a seat load cylinder (Off) or that a seat load cylinder is employed and the value
entered is the transition point at which the seat load cylinder is engaged/
disengaged via solenoid action.

Sol. Seat {Solenoid Seating}: Uses software to allow the stored energy of
a failsafe actuator to provide the seating force. Can only be used on linear
failsafe actuators where the fail direction is the same as the seating direction.
Replaces the elastic coupling and seat load cylinder for these applications.

Cal. Stroke {Calibrated Stroke}: When Sol. Seat = On, Cal. Stroke can be set
from .3" to 99.9" in one inch increments.
Flow Char {Flow Characterization}: The actuator is designed to have a linear
relationship between Control Signal and stroke (10% CS, 10% stroke, etc.) The
ability to modify this characteristic can assist in loop tuning or linearization of
a control scheme. Changing this actuator characteristic can have a profound
effect on the behavior of the control loop and should only be undertaken wtih
a thorough understanding of the effect. The stroke position can be modified
at 10% control signal intervals. The only restriction is that each stroke position
must be at least 2.5% from its neighbors.

CS 10% Pt thru CS 90% Pt {Control Signal 10% Point thru Control Signal
90% Point): When Flow Char= On, parameters CS 10% Pt thru CS 90% Pt
are added to the CONTROL menu. Each of these 9 parameters specifies
the desired actuator position when the Analog control signal is equal to the
corresponding point. Operation between Setpoints is linear.
Units: % of calibrated stroke
Range: CS 10% Pt: 2.5 to CS 90% Pt 97.5
Each calibrated stroke must be at elast 2.5% distant from the adjacent position.

Ex.; If CS 10% Pt= 2.5 when a 10% Control Signal is applied, the actuator will
travel 2.5% of calibrated stroke.

6.1.5 SPEED/ACCEL Menu


The SPEED/ACCEL menu displays the following:

Max Hi Spd {Maximum High Speed} specifies the maximum motor speed when
operating in the Auto mode when 2-Speed is set to Off or to Bkpt. This speed
parameter will go above 100%, but the output of a stepper module will be
reduced if setting it beyond this value. The motor may run into stall conditions.
Conversely, turning the speed down below 100% will allow the motor to make
more torque if a stalling condition exists. When running a stepper module near
the low temperature specification the speed may need to be lowered to avoid
occasional stalls

Max Up Spd {Maximum Up Speed} is in the menu when operating in Auto mode
when 2-Speed is set to Up/Dn. Max Up Spd specifies the maximum motor
speed when moving from Position Lo toward Position Hi.
Range: 5 to 125 % of actual motor speed, but no greater than Max Hi Spd.

Gain: In the Auto mode Gain is used to determine how motor speed is adjusted
as the actuator approaches the target position. The higher the Gain setting, the
closer the actuator will get to the target position before decelerating. The lower
the Gain setting, the further away the actuator will be from the target position
when it begins to decelerate. This value is typically factory set; however, it may
be changed should the application warrant it.
Range: 1 to 250

Modes of Operation & Control Parameters

Hi Accel {High Acceleration}:


Drive Type = Step
Hi Accel defines the rate at which the motor speed will be increased or
decreased until maximum speed is achieved for all modes of operation. It may
be replaced by Lo Accel if dual acceleration is used in combination with Gain to
define the rate of motor speed decrease until it reaches the target position.
Hi Accel allows the actuator to use two separate acceleration rates. If the
actuator is to make a large move, increase the acceleration rate to get to
the new Setpoint as quickly as possible. If the actuator is modulating and
requires small step changes, a slower acceleration eliminates overshoot. The
acceleration breakpoint allows the value for Hi Accel for changes in Setpoint
that are greater than Accel Bkpt and Lo Accel for changes in Setpoint that are
less than Accel Bkpt value. Acceleration Breakpoint defines the maximum
deviation for which Lo Accel is used in place of Hi Accel. Set Hi Accel for large
changes and Lo Accel for small changes.

Hi Accel {High Acceleration}:


Drive Type = Servo
Hi Accel defines the rate at which motor speed will be increased until maximum
motor speed is reached for all modes of manual stroking.
(Manual stroking = Local Man, RemoteMan, and when setting Position Lo/Hi in
Setup mode.)
Range: Lo Accel to 99 (Can not be set below value set in Lo Accel)

Accel Bkpt {Acceleration Breakpoint} defines maximum deviation for which


Lo Accel is used in place of Hi Accel.
Note: If deviation between signal and position is < or = to Accel Bkpt, Lo Accel is
used in place of Hi Accel.
Note: If deviation between signal and position is > than Accel Bkpt, only Hi Accel
is used.

Range: 0.1 to 5.0


Note: If Lo Accel = Hi Accel or if Accel Bkpt = 0.1, dual acceleration is nullified.

Lo Accel {Low Acceleration} defines an optional low rate of acceleration for


small deviations (< Accel Bkpt) in Auto mode.
Range: 1 to Hi Accel (Can not be set above value set in Hi Accel)

2-Speed defines status of optional two speed operation.


Select: Off, Up/Dn or Bkpt
Default: Off
When 2-Speed = Off, Max Hi Spd specifies maximum motor speed when
operating in Auto.
When 2-Speed = Up/Dn, Max Dn Spd defines motor speed as unit moves
toward parameter Position Lo. Max Hi Spd is changed to Max Up Spd and
defines motor speed as unit moves toward parameter Position Hi.
Note: When operating in Auto, Local Man, or RemoteMan and traveling
toward the position specified by parameter Position Hi, Max Up Spd sets
the speed limit.
Note: When operating in Auto, Local Man, or RemoteMan and traveling
toward the position specified by parameter Position Lo, Max Dn Spd sets
the speed limit.
Note: When operating in Setup, Max Man Spd sets the speed limit.
When 2-Speed = Bkpt, Max Lo Spd and Speed Bkpt are added to the menu.
Note: Max Hi Spd defines motor speed between Spd Bkpt and Position Hi
Note: Max Lo Spd {Maximum Low Speed} defines maximum low speed
between Spd Bkpt and Position Lo.
Note: Speed Bkpt {Speed Breakpoint}: Provides a speed transition point.

6.1.6 INPUTS Menu


The INPUTS menu consists of the following parameters:

Signal Type: Selects the main control signal(s) for the Auto mode. Allows
the user to define the type of control signal being sent to the actuator.
Select Analog, 1 Cont, 2 Cont, Pulse, or Commun.
Note: 1 Cont, 2 Cont and Pulse are only included in the Inputs menu if Contact/
Pulse Inputs Board is installed. Refer to Appendix E, Pulse Operating System, and
Appendix Q, Contact Input Options, for additional information.

When Signal Type = Analog, the main control signal is the 4-20 mA
analog input. This selection provides the full modulating capability of the
actuator.
When Signal Type = 1 Cont (one contact), two position operation
open/closed positionis selected. The applied signal defines actuator position.
If the Open input is active (powered), the actuator goes to Position Hi. If the
Open input is not active (un-powered), the actuator goes to Position Lo.
When Signal Type = 2 Cont (two contacts), manual modulation
operation is selected. The main input signals are the Main contacts Open and
Close inputs of the Contact Input Board. If both inputs are active or inactive,
the actuator remains in its current position. If only the Open input is active, the
actuator travels towards Position Hi. If only input Close is active, the actuator
travels towards Position Lo.
Note: Actuator will continue to move in desired direction as long as a signal is
present or until target is reached.

When Signal Type = Pulse, pulse operation is selected.

Pulse Dur {Pulse Duration} sets the minimum time that the Pulse Input must
remain active in order to be recognized as a valid signal. A continuous signal
may be measured as multiple pulses.

Modes of Operation & Control Parameters

86

Modes of Operation & Control Parameters

Ex.; With pulse Duration set at 50 milliseconds, a 100 millisecond pulse equals
two pulses.
Units: ms (milliseconds)
Range: 10 to 999 milliseconds

Pulse Inc {Pulse Increment} sets the amount of actuator travel for each valid
pulse received. It only appears in menu if Signal Type= Pulse
Range: 0.1 to 5.0 % of calibrated stroke
The input signals are the Main Contacts Open and Close inputs of the Contact
Input Board. If only input Open is active and meets the requirements of Pulse
Dur, the value set in Pulse Inc is added to (direct acting) or subtracted from
(reverse acting) the current position to become the new target position. The
actuator then seeks this new position. If only input Close is active and meets
the requirements of Pulse Dur, the value set in Pulse Inc is subtracted from
(direct acting) or added to (reverse acting) the current position to become the
new target position. The actuator then seeks this new position. If both inputs
are active or inactive, the actuator holds its current position.
Pulse input has the ability to control the actuator by an Open or Close pulse
signal. Each Input signal must meet the minimum pulse duration. For a period of
time it will be recorded as a number of pulses based on defined pulse duration.
Target position can be adjusted based on the number of pulses and defined
pulse increments. The motor will then move in desired direction until new target
position has been reached.
When Signal Type = Commun, the full modulating capability of the actuator is
also provided. However, the controlling signal is the Setpoint Parameter which
may be written via one of the communication interfaces( HART or Foundation
Field Bus ).
Note: When set to Commun, parameters Failsafe and Shed Time are
added to this menu.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 10/14 87

Failsafe defines the position the actuator moves to via the motor if the Analog
control signal falls below 2.5 mA.
Only in menu if Signal Type = Analog.
Select:

Inplac: Actuator remains in current position.


0% to 100%: Actuator goes from 0% to % set.
Off: Used for zero based control signal, i.e., 0-20 mA. Off will appear above
a setting of 100%.
Default: Inplac.
Note: Local and Remote Manual will override the Failsafe position.

Shed Time specifies the maximum amount of time allowed between writes to
parameter Setpoint before the action specified in parameter Failsafe is taken.
When set to OFF, no action is taken.
Only in menu if Signal Type = Commun

Trip parameter defines the active state of the AUX CLOSE input on the
Contacts Inputs Board. This secondary input is used to override the main input
to cause actuator movement with the aid of a solenoid/spring package or with
an accumulator. This Failsafe position is factory configured to either calibrated
end, but not to both, and is not field reversible.
When Trip = Off, trip function is not used
When Trip = Unpwrd, and AUX CLOSE input is not powered, go to end point
(Trip = Logic )
When Trip = Pwrd, and AUX CLOSE input is powered, go to end point (Trip =
Logic I)
Note: Trip = Unpwrd/Trip = Pwrd is only selectable if Contact Inputs Board is installed.

Power On parameter defines the mode the Control Enclosure will be in when
Main Power is applied.
When Power On = Last, (the default), on power up or reset, the actuator will
return to its previous operating mode (Auto, Local or Setup).
When Power On = Local, on power up or reset, if the previous mode was Auto,
the actuator will enter Local mode instead.

6.1.7 DRIVES Menu


The DRIVES menu consists the following parameters:

Drive Type defines the type of motor, stepper or servo, provided with the power
module(s) and is factory set to Step or Servo.

Stall Time defines the maximum time, 1 to 50 Sec (seconds), allowed for the
actuator to travel 1% of calibrated stroke before a stall is assumed. If 1% travel
is not detected in the time set, the motor drive is stopped, the drive is reset
and a restart attempted. A maximum of five retries are allowed before a stall
error (alarmed) is declared.
Note: Stall Time also sets the point at which the Booster Pump will turn off.
Note: If Stall Time = 1-5 seconds, the Booster Pump will turn off 2.5% away
from the target position.
Note: If Stall Time = 6 -10 seconds, the Booster Pump will turn off 1.0%
away from the target position.
Note: If Stall Time > 10 seconds, the Booster Pump will turn off 0.5% away
from the target position.

Boost Pump: {Booster Pump Breakpoint} defines the minimum deviation,5.0 to


99.9% of calibrated stroke or Off, between current position and Control Signal
for the booster pump to turn on.
Note: Only in menu if Drive Type = Servo, and Surge Bkpt = Off.
Note: If no Boost Pump, Boost Pump = Off

Main Valves sets the maximum deviation allowed before the main valves are
opened. This is a special parameter; used only with actuators which use an
accumulator for all motive force (no power module).

90

Modes of Operation & Control Parameters

Note: The main valve off point is set by parameter Stall Time.
Note: Main Valves is only visible in the Drives menu if Foundation field bus
is installed. Requires special construction.

Surge Bkpt {Surge Breakpoint} defines in % calibrated stroke the minimum


deviation between the current position and the new target set by the incoming
Control signal, required to operate the surge solenoid. When the deviation
exceeds the setting, the Surge Relay output is activated and kept active
until the current position matches the current control signal. The Surge Relay
controls a solenoid valve allowing the actuator to travel quickly in the surge
direction when activated.
Only in menu if Signal Type = Analog, Accumulator = No and Booster Pump =
No.
Note: Surge Bkpt is only included in the SPEED/ACCEL menu if Contact/
Pulse Inputs Board is installed.
Refer to Appendix G, Surge Control Option, for additional information.

Surge Offpt{Surge Offpoint} will only appear in the DRIVES manu when the
Surge Bkpt has a value other than off. Surge Offpt is defined in percentage
of calibrated stroke. This percentage will define a distance the actuator will
be away from its new target position when it changes the state of the surge
solenoid during a surge event. On system with high speed trips this will allow
the controller to change states of the solenoid to anticipate hitting the new
target position and eliminate overshoot during a surge event. With Surge Offpt
set to off the actuator will command the surge solenoid to change state when
it reaches its new target position during a surge event. This will result in some
overshoot of the new position as the actuator will continue to travel while the
solenoid changes states. Surge Offpt has a settable range of 0.1% up to 5%
less than the current Surge Break point value.

Accumulator defines whether or not an accumulator system is present,


Accumulator action is controlled by parameter Trip; refer to INPUTS menu.
Factory set to Yes or No.
If Accumulator = Yes, he following 5 parameters are in the menu.

Rechrg Pres {Recharge Pressure} adjusts the pressure level at which an


accumulator recharge cycle ends. Factory set in # (psi), from Warn Pres + 100
up to Warn Pres + 3000 psi.
Warn Pres {Warning Pressure} adjusts the pressure at which an accumulator low
pressure warning is issued. Factory set from 1000 psi up to Rechrg Pres - 100
psi.
Note: The Warning relay deactivates and the status display will indicate
Pres Low when the accumulator pressure drops below the value set in

Warn Pres.
Rechrg Time {Recharge Time} adjusts the maximum time allowed for a recharge
cycle to complete. A recharge cycle ends when either the Rechrg Pres setting
is reached or the Rechrg Time expires. In either case, the actuator resumes
tracking the control signal. Recharge Time is factory set.

Accum Dir {Accumulator Direction} defines the direction the accumulator will
cause the actuator to travel during a Trip. This parameter is factory set based
on information provided. This parameter is necessary to inform the CPU as to
which direction, Pos Lo (Position lo) or Pos Hi (Position Hi), to operate the motor
during a recharge cycle after a Trip.

Accum Pres {Accumulator Pressure}: This parameter cannot be set. It is the


live pressure reading from the accumulator pressure transducer.

6.1.9 CURRENT STATS Menu and


HISTORIC STATS Menu
The CURRENT STATS and HISTORIC STATS menus both provide error counters
and usage indicators. The two menus provide identical information, the
difference being that the CURRENT STATS parameters can be reset to 0 in
the Setup mode where as the HISTORIC STATS cannot. Also, the CURRENT
STATS can be viewed (but not altered) in Auto mode. HISTORIC STATS can
only be viewed in Setup mode.
The error counters are provided as an aid to diagnosing a problem. They are
particularly useful in identifying intermittent problems since they record ALL
instances of detected errors, rather than just those which result in an alarmed
condition. They are also useful in identifying problems associated with actuator
tuning.
Note: Refer to the TS&R Manual for trouble shooting support.

The error counters generally operate in the Auto mode (inclusive of Local
Man/RemoteMan) only. Errors detected in Setup are not recorded. If the Auto
mode is entered from Setup with an existing error, the error is not counted. The
only exception to the Auto mode only rule is the Mem Fail counter which
operates only in Setup mode.
Usage indicators only record in Auto mode.
The CURRENT STATS error counters and usage indicators may be reset to zero
by the following;
While in Setup and the counter/indicator to be reset is on display:
Press (E)nter the equals sign begins blinking
Press (D)own the value field resets to zero
Press (E)nter the new count is now zero
Note: If the (U)p key is pressed prior to step 3, the old count is returned to the
display and will be retained if the (E)nter key is then pressed.

because the actuator was detected moving in the wrong direction.

SLC stop {Seat Load Cylinder stop} indicates the number of times the actuator
stopped at the Seated position of the seat load cylinder but the control signal
did not require the valve to be seated (control signal was > 0.2%)

Stall indicates the number of times the motor was stopped because the Stall
Time was reached prior to achieving 1% of travel.
Note: For units with a Seat Load Cylinder, Stall will indicate the number

The following four counters support non-standard hardware configurations:

Op Pres bad indicates the number of times that the open side pressure
transducer was detected out of range. The transducer is considered out of
range if the 4-20 mA signal is less than 3 mA.

Cl Pres bad indicates the number of times that the close side pressure
transducer was detected out of range. The transducer is considered out of
range if the 4-20 mA signal is less than 3 mA.

Low Oil indicates the number of times the reservoir level switch detected a low
oil condition.
Over Temp indicates the number of times the oil temperature switch detected
an over temperature condition.
The following two parameters are usage counters; each indicates the number of
times an event counter reached a count of 1000. Event counters are located
in volatile memory. Each power-on/reset causes the loss of any partial 1000
counts. Entry into Setup followed by a return to Auto mode preserves partial
1000 counts.

Starts x1K indicates the number of times the motor was started while in Auto.
e.g., Starts x1K=2 is 2000 starts.

Strokes x1K indicates the number of times the actuator traveled a distance
equal to its calibrated stroke divided, by 1000.
e.g., Strokes x1K=2 is 2000 strokes.

Seat Loading Methods
B.1 THEORY OF OPERATION
Actuators which must come up against a hard stop require a spring loaded
element between the actuator and driven device. This spring loaded element
provides a controlled loading without over stressing mating parts. Its purpose is
the same as torque limit switches found on gear motor actuators but without the
inherent adjustment difficulties and potential for faulty calibration.

B.2 ELASTIC COUPLING


For applications that extend or retract against a hard stop, linear Xpac actuators
are provided with an elastic coupling for connecting the driven device to the
actuator. The elastic coupling contains a set of disc springs which are precompressed to approximately 80% of the rated thrust for fail-in-place units and
50% of the rated thrust for spring fail actuators.
The coupling provides a visual indication of compression (seat load) and should
be compressed to its rated mark when the driven device is at the end of travel.
At that point, the load on the driven device is approximately the net rated output

Appendix B

Stem Connection & Seat Loading Methods

B-2

Stem Connection & Seat Loading Methods

Appendix B

of the actuator. Lower rated couplings are available for applications that require
reduced seat load.
The force indicator on the elastic coupling is a pin captured in a slot on the
side of the coupling. As the coupling compresses, the pin slides in the slot. A
scribed line marks the rated output position.

Figure B.2-1 Preloaded Coupling

Figure B.2-2 Rated Load Coupling

Enclosed spring couplings (not shown) have a small telltale pin protruding
from the top or bottom. As the coupling compresses, the pin is drawn into the
coupling. When the pin is flush with the coupling, it is at its rated output.
Note: The output of each coupling may be verified through the pressure gauges.
Note: To translate pressure gauge readings into actuator output, use the following
formula:

Pressure gauge reading


actuator rated output = actual output
2000 psi

For additional output calculation data, refer to Appendix O.

B.3 SEAT LOADING CYLINDER


On larger size units the forces are too great to use a mechanical elastic coupling.
Instead, a smaller Seat Loading Cylinder (SLC) with a spring load is hydraulically
connected to the actuator cylinder as shown Figure B.3.
The Seat Loading Cylinder utilizes a pre-compressed load equivalent to 80%
(1600 psi) of the nominal working pressure (2000 psi). As the power module

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12

B-3

pumps hydraulic fluid into the actuator cylinder, the output shaft will begin to
extend. Once the force on the extension shaft reached the preset 80% of the
actuators rated output, the pressure in the top of the actuator cylinder will reach
the limit that begins to compress the spring on the seat load cylinder. This will
occur when the driven device reaches its end of stroke. As the pressure builds
within the actuator cylinder, oil flows into the SLC, designated by the high
pressure flow arrow and retracts the SLC shaft. When the spring is compressed
to the full nominal working pressure, the position feedback of the SLC will trigger
the power module to shut off. The rated actuator output is now applied to the
driven device and retained within the cylinders by the Flow Matching Valves.

B.3.1 Mechanical Installation


The Seat Loading Cylinder is mounted to the side of the main cylinder at the
factory. All hydraulic piping and spring preload will be complete. Mechanical
installation is not required.

B.3.2 Electrical Installation


Operation of the Seat Loading Cylinder requires the connection of a feedback
cable between the SLC and the control enclosure. The standard cable consists
of a red, white and black wire and a tinned copper ground wire. Each individual
wire is 18 AWG. The feedback cable is not restricted by distance.
The SLC Feedback Connections are terminated inside the Control Enclosure at
the CPU Board Assembly, TB1, +15, SLC+ and SLC-. Refer to Figure B.3.4-1.
The feedback connection is made directly to the screw terminals on the
feedback printed circuit board. Remove the four cap screws cover using care
not to damage the internal components. Feed the cable through the inch
NPT opening. Wiring connection is made directly to the feedback printed circuit
board per Figure B.3.2. Replace the cover on the cylinder and securely fasten.
Refer to the Electrical Installation section.

B.4 SOLENOID AUTO-SEATING


For linear valve applications that require fail-safe in the same direction as the
seated position, the elastic coupling and seat load cylinder are considered
to be redundant and unnecessary. Using an elastic coupling on a spring fail
or accumulator fail REXA is like using a spring in series with another spring.
For these applications REXA handles the seat loading with software that
automatically controls the solenoid operation as the actuator positions close to
the seat. This control menu parameter is called Solenoid Seat (Sol. Seat).
The software concept is similar in operation to the Min Mod functionality.
Rather than use the motor to drive to the seat, once the actuator reaches a
position close to the seat the solenoid valve(s) open and the remaining travel is
accomplished by using the stored energy (spring or accumulator) to drive the
valve into the seat.

B.5 CALIBRATION
Operation of the actuator is the same as a unit with an elastic coupling. The
only difference is at the seated position. Instead of compressing a coupling,
the spring on the SLC is compressed until the indicator on the SLC leg is at the
seated point. See Figure B.5-1.

Position Lo is set by moving the stem to the corresponding low signal


position. If the signal low position is the SEAT position, the seat load cylinder
flag must line up with the SEAT indicator mark on the spring housing cover.
The SEAT indicator mark is factory set for each application. The preset
tension of the spring should not be changed without consulting the REXA
factory.

With Position Lo on the display, press the (E)NTER key. = will begin to
blink. Using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down keys, position the actuator to the
desired point and press (E)NTER again. The displayed value will be recorded as
the Position Low endpoint.

Position Hi is set by moving the stem to the corresponding high signal


position. If the signal high position is the SEAT position, the seat load cylinder
flag must line up with the SEAT indicator mark on the spring housing cover.
The SEAT indicator mark is factory set for each application. The preset
tension of the spring should not be changed without consulting the REXA
factory.
With Position Hi on the display, press the (E)NTER key. = will begin to
blink. Using the Scroll Up and Scroll Down keys, position the actuator to the
desired point and press (E)NTER again. The displayed value will be recorded as
the Position Hi endpoint.
When calibration is complete, and before returning to AUTO mode, depress
the RESET button located on the right side of the REXA CPU board. This will
set the new seated value as the SLC target. See Figure B.5-2.

C.1.1 Trip Function


Refer to Figure C.1.1-A, Trip Condition, to follow the fluid flow path during a trip.
The arrows indicate the flow direction
Under a trip condition or loss of electric power, two solenoid valves open
simultaneously. One solenoid allows oil under pressure from the accumulator
to be released and enter the failure side of the actuator driving it in the fail
direction. The other solenoid allows the oil displaced from the opposite side of
the cylinder into an auxiliary reservoir. To control the fail speed a needle valve is
installed on the outlet of the second solenoid valve.

C.1.2 Recharge Function


Reference Figure C.1.2-B to follow fluid path during recharge.
When the trip condition ends or power is restored, a pressure transducer signals
the CPU of low pressure in the accumulator. This signal tells the CPU to run the
power module in the direction required to drive the actuator in the fail direction.
Since the actuator cylinder is already at the end of its travel, the oil being
pumped from the reservoir by the power module will be allowed to flow into the
accumulator. When the proper recharge pressure is reached, the CPU stops
the power module and closes the solenoid valves. Normal operation is now
resumed and the actuator will follow the control signal.

1. The CPU is in the Auto mode when power is restored after a loss of
power or removal of trip signal,

And
2. The pressure transducer output is less than Rechrg Pres
If CPU is NOT in Auto mode when power is restored or trip signal removed, the
unit MUST be placed in Auto and the reset button pushed.

IMPORTANT!

All actuators are shipped in the failed or tripped condition.


The actuator may initially power up in Setup mode. With the
trip signal inactive (or not connected), put the actuator in
Auto then either press the reset button or cycle power off
and back on. The actuator will go through a fail cycle, a recharge cycle and then return to following the control signal.
If this operation is not performed, the actuator will follow the
control signal, but the accumulator will remain uncharged,
rendering the actuator incapable of performing a trip or fail
operation. However, a low pressure warning will indicate
insufficient pressure to perform a fail operation.

C.4 MANUAL OVERRIDE


Accumulator actuators with solenoid valves are supplied with manual override
levers. This feature enables a way to manually change states of the solenoid
valves with electrical power off or in trip mode. Units are shipped from the
factory with the solenoid override levers in position A (Figure C.4-1).

Figure C.4-1 Solenoid Manual Override Levers (Position A)


They must be in this position for normal operation of the actuator. To use the
handwheel during a power off or trip situation both solenoid override levers must
be moved to position B.

Appendix C

Accumulator

C-6

Accumulator

Figure C.4-2 Solenoid Manual Override Levers (Position B)


Once both overrides are moved to position B, the handwheel may be operated
in a normal manner (Refer to Appendix M, Manual Operators). After handwheel
use and prior to returning the actuator to normal service, (power restored or trip
signal removed) both solenoid override levers must be returned to position A.
NOTE: When returning the levers to the normal open position the actuator will
stroke in the trip direction.

It is recommended that both override levers be safety wired in position A when


the handwheel is not in use.
For operation of Manual Override, refer to Appendix M, Manual Operators.

WARNING!

After using the handwheel, the overrides must be returned to


the A position or the unit will not operate correctly when
power is restored or trip signal removed. If only one override
is returned to the A position after a trip, damage to the
power module may occur.

There will be times that it is necessary to fully discharge the oil-side of the
accumulator system; such as when maintenance is being performed. To
perform this task, do the following:
1. Remove power to the actuator.
2. If the unit is fail in place during power loss, place both solenoid valves in
position B as shown in Figure C.4-2.

D. Booster Pump Configuration

D.1 THEORY OF OPERATION


Booster Pump Configurations utilize an Xpac power module and a large
capacity Booster Pump. The power module provides fine positioning, while a
volume booster pump provides the speed for large or coarse position changes.
This dual pump operation allows REXA to extend its unique capabilities to very
high thrust or torque units and high-speed operation without sacrificing position
accuracy.
Two sizes of BOOSTER PUMPS are available: the P9 and the P40. The P9
is used in combination with the D size power module to provide 5 times the
capacity of a D size power module or 2.5 GPM. A P40 with D size power
module has the pumping capacity for 11 GPM.

D.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION


An Xpac with the Booster Pump Configuration has no special installation
procedure. Therefore, the standard installation should be followed.

Appendix D

Booster Pump

D-2 Booster Pump

D.2.1 Control Enclosure


The major electrical components are located in a NEMA 4 enclosure. They have
a wide temperature range (-40F to 120F1 [-40C to +49C]) and can be field
installed at a convenient location. Avoid areas subject to excessive vibration or
heat. To reduce the possibility of water incursion, we recommend that any fitting
be pointed downward.

Ambient temperature only. Direct solar heat load must be avoided.

D.3 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION


The Xpac consists of two major components, the Electraulic actuator (cylinder
and power module) and the control enclosure. The actuator is installed on
the driven device, while the enclosure is remotely mounted. Connecting them
are the motor power, resolver, feedback and module cables. Some cables
may not be run within the same conduit or seal-tite flex hose. Preferred wiring
procedures recommend that power voltages (motor power and module cables)
be kept separate from low level signal lines (resolver and feedback cables). User
connections of electric power and control signals are made at the enclosure.
Refer to Appendix P, Interconnect Diagrams.

! Important !
Motor power and motor resolver cables for the power module and booster
pump motors must be shielded! The shield of each is connected to the
green ground screw on the back panel of the control enclosure only.

The motor resolver signals are low level voltages.

The motor resolver


cables must be kept separate from the motor power cables or any other
high power wiring. However, the resolver cables may be run with the
feedback cable or other low power conductors.

Failure to follow the above may inhibit the proper operation of the
actuator.

E. Pulse Operating System

E.1 THEORY OF OPERATION


The pulse operating system allows the use of a voltage input signal instead of
the standard 4-20 mA signal. Pulses are not merely motor power commands,
but change the target position. The actuator will continue moving until the
actual position satisfies the target position. The motion (speed, acceleration,
resolution) of the unit will be in accordance with the values set during calibration.
To receive the pulses, a contact input board is mounted on the CPU. This board
accepts 3 or 4 wire signals in the range of 24 to 120 volts, AC or DC. The pulses
are interpreted by the CPU based on the values set for the two pulse control
parameter, Pulse Duration and Pulse Increment.
Refer to the CALIBRATE menu and the INPUTS menu for additional information.

E.2 INSTALLATION
Wiring for pulse input is performed at the contact inputs board located on top of
the CPU. Terminal block TB3 provides six terminals to connect the HIGH signal
and the LOW signal. Refer to Figure E.2-1, -2, for wiring options.

E.3 SIGNAL INPUT RANGE


Voltage: OFF: 0 to 8 volts, AC or DC
ON: 22 to 120 volts, AC or DC
Undefined: 8 to 22 volts, AC or DC
Current: OFF: less than 1 mA
ON: 1.8 mA to 10 mA; proportional to voltage
Impedance: 12K ohms
Electromechanical or solid state switching devices may be used to activate the
control signal. The following points should be observed:

ON state:
Most AC and many DC solid state switching devices require a minimum current
flow in order to remain in the closed state. If this minimum current exceeds the
input signal current at the activation voltage, the current flow may be increased
by adding a shunt resistor across the input signal terminals of the pulse auxiliary
board.

OFF state:
The OFF state leakage current must be less than 1 mA. Diode clamps or RC
snubber networks placed across mechanical relays and the semiconductor
junctions of solid state switches will pass some current in the OFF state. If this
leakage exceeds 1 mA, a resistor added across the input signal terminals will
bypass the current.

E.4 PULSE CONTROL PARAMETERS


Refer to the CALIBRATE menu and INPUTS menu for additional information.

E.5 TUNING
On systems that utilize position feedback to control the pulse train, it is usually
necessary to tune the Pulse Increment to replicate the actuator speed. The ideal
Pulse Increment is determined by dividing the Pulse Duration (in seconds) by the
total stroking time and multiplying by 100%.
Duration

G. Surge Control Option

G.1 THEORY OF OPERATION


High speed operation in one direction during upset conditions can best be
handled with REXAs Surge Control Option. This option gives the actuator the
ability for fast operation in one direction. During normal movements actuator
stroking speed is determined by Power Module speed capabilities. To obtain
this second surge speed a coil spring drives the actuator when a solenoid valve
opens. Four additional components are added to the standard actuator:
Mechanical Spring - provides the force to move the actuator in the surge
direction.
Solenoid Bypass Valve - bypasses the actuators normal hydraulic circuit.
Solid State Relay - interfaces the CPU with the solenoid.
Needle Valve - allows adjustment in Surge Control speed
The CPU will pulse the solenoid through the electronic relay to allow
controlled high speed motion in the spring direction. Control of this feature is
accomplished with the Surge Breakpoint (SG) parameter in the Setup menu.

Appendix G

Surge Control Option

G-2

Surge Control Option

If the change in control signal is less than the Surge Breakpoint, the actuator
operates normally. If the change in control signal is greater than the Surge
Breakpoint (and in the surge motion direction), then the solenoid opens and the
actuator is driven by the spring to the new position.
If the actuator is overshooting during a surge event, the Surge Offpt parameter
can be used to eliminate this overshoot. Reference the Drive Menu section in
Modes of Operation & Control Parameters in the IOM for additional information
regarding setting the Surge Offpt parameter. Increasing this Surge Offpt
parameter will reduce the overshoot until the unit begins to slow down too much
prior to hitting its target position. Figure G.1-1 illustrates the overshoot from
a surge event. Increasing the Surge Offpt would be required to eliminate this
issue. Figure G.1-2 shows the expected results when the Surge Offpt parameter
is tuned properly. Figure G.1-3 shows an undershoot condition. Decreasing the
Surge Offpt percentage will reduce the undershoot.
Various configurations of the spring package may have been provided. The
spring may be installed to open or close the driven device. Fail-safe position
can either be lock in place or in the surge direction.

G.2 INSTALLATION
The fast response solenoid is a 3-way configuration and piped external to the
hydraulic cylinder. An adjustable needle valve is in line with the solenoid to allow
custom adjustment of the surge speed to meet a particular installation.
The wires used for the surge solenoid are a pair of blue wires in the module
cable. Connection for the solenoid within the control enclosure is made to TB4
of the power supply assembly as shown in G.2-1.
Refer to Figures G.2-1,-2,-3.

G.3 CALIBRATION
Refer to the CONTROL menu for additional information.

H. Build Numbers

The build number is a catalog number REXA uses to designate in complete


detail the construction of the actuator. From this number all configurations can
be defined. There are two different categories of build numbers; one is for the
mechanical sub-assembly, and the second is for its corresponding electronics
sub-assembly. Within the mechanical sub-assembly there is a build number for
Rotary and Drive actuators, and a separate build number for Linear actuators.

K. Fieldbus

An Xpac Series 2 actuator is represented on a Fieldbus network as a group of


blocks through which the X2 actuator may be configured and operated. The
blocks include:





- One Resource block


- One Analog Output block
- One Discrete Output block
- Two Analog Input blocks
- One Discrete Input block
- One Transducer block

The Resource block and the Input/Output blocks are standard Fieldbus blocks
which implement the networking and control capability of a Fieldbus system.
The Transducer block is a custom block which is designed specifically to
connect an Xpac 2 actuator to a Fieldbus network. In a control application,
the Transducer block reads and writes process variables from the actuator and
passes these values to the network via the I/O blocks.
The Transducer block also provides access to all X2 actuator configuration
(Setup) parameters (excluding stroke calibration parameters). Any configuration
parameter which may be viewed or changed at the local Operators Panel may
also be viewed or changed over the Fieldbus network.

Appendix K

Fieldbus

K-2

Fieldbus

The Transducer block is also capable of gathering simultaneous data samples


of X2 actuator Position, Setpoint, and (if implemented) Differential Pressure,
and storing them for later retrieval. Two hundred samples of each variable are
gathered in 20 groups of 10 samples of each variable. Data gathering may
be initiated manually at any time, or automatically by a specified change in
Setpoint. The rate at which the samples are gathered may also be specified.
All blocks have many named parameters. The standard Fieldbus blocks
(Resource and I/O) contain only Fieldbus defined parameters which, in this
document, are written as FIELDBUS NAME (upper case lettering) and when
observed on a Fieldbus host are viewed in a similar manner. The Transducer
block also contains Fieldbus defined parameters which are written and viewed
as above. The Transducer block also contains X2 actuator specific custom
parameters which may be viewed on a host in one of two ways; either as a
default, software derived name or as a Device Description supplied name (noted
in brackets). In this document the custom parameters are written as DEFAULT
NAME {Device Description Name} wherever the names differ. Parameter
values where shown are in bold text

Resource block:
The Resource block provides device identification and some basic network
communications parameters.
There are no X2 actuator specific parameters in this block.

Analog Output block (AO)


The AO block accepts analog values from the network and writes the value
to the Transducers block parameter Setpoint to control positioning of the
X2 actuator.
The AO block also reads the Position of the X2 actuator from the
Transducer block and passes the value to the network.
To use this block:

- Set the AO block parameter CHANNEL to AO Setpoint.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12

Appendix K

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12 K-3

- Initialize the AO block parameter SHED_OPT (NormalShed_NormalReturn is sufficient).

- Set the Transducer block parameter CONTROL_CHANNEL {Positioner Control Method} to CH1- Analog Output

Analog Input blocks (AI)


The AI blocks read a process variable from the Transducer block and pass
the value to the network as an analog value.
To use AI1 blocks and propagate Actuator Position:

- Set the AI1 block parameter CHANNEL to Al1 Position.

- Set the AI1 block parameter L_TYPE to Indirect.

- Set the AI1 block parameter XD_SCALE:EU_100 to 100



:EU_0 to 0

:UNITS_INDEX to %.

- Set the AI1 block parameter OUT_SCALE:EU_100 to 100



:EU_0 to 0

:UNITS_INDEX to %.
To use AI2 blocks and propagate Actuator Differential Pressure (if the
feature is available):

Appendix K

- Set the AI2 block parameter CHANNEL to AI2 Differential Pressure.

- Set the AI2 block parameter L_TYPE to Direct.

- Set the AI2 block parameter XD_SCALE:EU_100 to 3000



:EU_0 to 0

:UNITS_INDEX to psi.

- Set the AI2 block parameter OUT_SCALE:EU_100 to 3000



:EU_0 to 0

:UNITS_INDEX to psi.

Fieldbus

K-4

Fieldbus

Discrete Output block (DO)


The DO block accepts discrete values from the network and forwards a
value of 0% or 100% to the Transducer block parameter Setpoint to control
positioning of the X2 actuator.
0x00 for a Setpoint of 0.0%
0x01 for a Setpoint of 100%
The DO block also reads the Position of the X2 actuator from the
Transducer block and passes the value to the FF network as a discrete
value.
0x00 if Position is less than 50.0%
0x01 if Position is equal to or greater than 50.0%
To use this block:

- Set the DO block parameter CHANNEL to DO Setpoint.

- Initialize the DO block parameter SHED_OPT (NormalShed_NormalReturn is sufficient).

- Set the Transducer block parameter CONTROL_CHANNEL {Positioner Control Method} to CH4- Discrete Output

Discrete Input block (DI)


The DI block reads the X2 actuator Position from the Transducer block and
passes the value to the FF network as a discrete value.
0x00 if Position is less than or equal to 5%
0x01 if Position is greater than 5% and less than 95%
0x03 if Position is greater than 95%
To use this block:

- Set the DI block parameter CHANNEL to DI Position.

Transducer block
The Transducer block links the XPac X2 actuator to the Input/Output
function blocks. It also provides access to all of the X2 actuators
configuration parameters. Other parameters which provide for control and
observation of the X2 actuator are also included.
All parameters may be viewed at any time. To change any parameter, the
block should be put in OOS (Out Of Service). To change any X2 actuator
configuration parameter, the X2 actuator must also be in Comm Setup
mode. The X2 actuators current mode may be viewed using parameter
MODE_STATUS {Mode\Status Byte}. The X2 actuators current mode
may be changed using parameter OPERATING_MODE {Operating Mode}.

X2 Actuator Configuration Parameters


The following lists all of the X2 actuators configuration parameters. Details
for each parameter may be found in the Setup section of this document.
All of the listed parameters will always be visible over a fieldbus network.
However, some parameters are not implemented in all X2 actuator Software
versions, and some parameters may not be usable due to the current
setting of other parameters. In either case, when a parameter is not usable
it will have a value of 1.#QNAN. Any attempt to modify such a parameter
will result in an error message.

Other X2 actuator parameters:


CONTROL_CHANNEL {Positioner Control Method}: This parameter
specifies which output block is to provide the Setpoint to the Transducer block.

CH1-Analog Output: Selects the AO block as the Setpoint source.

CH4-Discrete Output: Selects the DO block as the Setpoint source.

OPERATING_MODE {Operating Mode}: This parameter is used to change


the mode of operation of the X2 actuator.

Auto mode: Switches the X2 actuator to Auto mode for Setpoint tracking.

Comm Setup mode: Switches the X2 actuator to a Setup mode for


configuration over the Fieldbus network.

Panel Setup mode and Panel Local mode: These modes are only
selectable at the X2 actuators local Operators Panel and cannot be
invoked over the Fieldbus network.

MODE_STATUS {Mode\Status Byte}: This parameter reports the current


mode of operation of the X2 actuator.

Auto mode: The X2 actuator is following the Setpoint input. No X2


actuator configuration parameter may be modified while in Auto mode.

In Comm Setup Mode: The X2 actuator is holding position. Any X2


actuator configuration parameter may be modified over the Fieldbus
network.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 07/12 K-9

Panel Setup Mode: The X2 actuator is holding position. Any X2


actuator configuration parameter may be modified at the local Operators
Panel.

Manual Mode (either Local or Remote): The X2 actuator is holding


position but may be manually stroked at the local Operators Panel or
via a remote hand/auto station.

The Mode\Status Byte also reports the presence of the Contact Input Board
if it is installed in the X2 actuator, and reports active status of the Trip input
(override signal).
RESPONSE_CODE {Response Code}: When an X2 actuator configuration
parameter is written, a response code is issued as part of the return
message indicating the relative success or failure of the write operation.

Success: the data was accepted unconditionally.

Conditional success: the data sent was too large, too small or imprecise. The X2 actuator has corrected the data by rounding down, rounding up, or rounding off the value sent prior to writing.

Failure Not Available: The write attempt was rejected because the
parameter is not used in this version of the X2 actuator or the parameter
is currently not usable due to settings of other parameters. When a
parameter is not available it is displayed with a value of 1.#QNAN.

Failure Wrong Mode: The write attempt was rejected because the X2
actuator was not in Comm Setup Mode.

Failure No Contact: The write attempt was rejected because the


parameter requires use of the Contact Input Board which is not present
in the X2 actuator.

POSITION: This parameter reports the X2 actuators current position.


CONTROL_SIGNAL {Control Signal}: This parameter is not used with a
Fieldbus network and should be ignored.

Appendix K

Fieldbus

K-10 Fieldbus

Appendix K

TARGET_POS {Target}: This parameter reports the current target position


of the X2 actuator. Target position normally equals the Setpoint value
but may be modified by use of other parameters such as Flow Characterization, Minimum Modulating, Bumpless Transfer, etc.
SETPOINT: This parameter reports the current value of the X2 actuators
Setpoint input.
DIFF_PRESSURE: This parameter reports the current differential pressure
measured across the X2 actuators hydraulic cylinder(s). It may be
used to calculate thrust or torque by multiplying the value times the net
working area of the hydraulic cylinder(s). When the differential pressure
measuring feature is not implemented, this parameters value will be
1.#QNAN.
ERROR_BYTE1 (error_byte1},
ERROR_BYTE2 (error_byte2},

X2 Actuator Data Collection Parameters


COLLECTION_MODE {collection _mode}: specifies the method of initiating data gathering. Select:

MANUAL for operator initiated gathering

AUTO for initiating on a change in Setpoint

COLLECTION_CONTROL {collection_control}: used to START a manually


initiated collection. STOP may be used to halt a collection prior to 200
samples of each parameter having been collected.
COLLECTION_DELTA_SP {collection_delta_sp}: when collection_mode
is AUTO, specifies the change in Setpoint required to initiate collection.

Appendix K

Fieldbus

K-12 Fieldbus

Once automatically initiated, collecting will continue until 200 samples of


each variable have been gathered.
COLLECTION_SAMPLE_RATE {collection_sample _rate}: specifies the
rate at which samples of each variable will be collected in samples per
second. Select 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.
COLLECTION_INDEX {collection_index}: when reading the collected
variables, this specifies which group of 10 values to return. Select
Group 1 for the 1st 10 values, Group 2 for values 11 through 20, etc., up
to Group 20 for values 191 through 200. Unused samples or samples
read prior to gathering will read zero.
COLLECTION_SETPOINT {collection_setpoint},
COLLECTION_POSITION {collection_position},
COLLECTION_DIFF_PRESSURE {collection_diff_pressure}: when read,
these return 10 successive values of the named variable as specified by
the collection_index. When the Differential Pressure measuring feature
is not implemented, collection_diff_pressure will read 1.#QNAN.
Notes: Data collection parameters.
1. For each collection variable, the first sample of Group 1 is the value of the variable
immediately prior to the initiation of collection. The second sample is the value of
the variable one sample interval later. The third sample is the value of the variable
a second sample interval later, etc.
2. When collection mode is set to AUTO, the first two samples of the setpoint
variable show the change in setpoint which initiated the collection.
3. The variable differential pressure is collected using peak detection methods.
During a sampling interval, differential pressure is continuously monitored and the
largest value found during the sampling interval is reported as the value for that
interval.
4. The differential pressure peak detector runs continuously. Therefore, the first
sample of Group 1 for the collection variable differential pressure is the maximum
value detected since the end of the last collection period. This value is generally
not meaningful and can be discarded.

M. Manual Operators

The Xpac has two types of manual operators available: Declutchable


Handwheel/Drill Drive and Manual Hydraulic Pump. Since both options utilize
our hydraulic circuit for override operation, they will only function if the system is
in working order.
CAUTION:
Before attempting to operate any manual override feature,
make sure that the electric power is OFF.

M.1 DECLUTCHABLE HANDWHEEL


The handwheel is mounted to the motor output end of the actuator. To operate,
depress and turn the handwheel. One half-revolution may be required before
proper engagement, as the inside of the handwheel must engage with the
motor shaft. The handwheel will declutch by moving outwards when released.
Clockwise rotation of the manual operator will retract the stem on a linear unit
and clockwise rotate the shaft (looking at the feedback housing) on a rotary unit.

M.1.2 Declutchable Drill Drive


The drill drive is part of the handwheel assembly that can be used on standard
B, C, 1/2D, and D power modules rated for hazardous but non-explosion proof
environments to drive the unit. The handwheel can be removed by simply
pulling on it to expose a 5/16 hex drive. To operate, connect an appropriate
drill to the 5/16 hex. Push the drive in and turn. One half-revolution may be
required before proper engagement, since the drive must contact a slot on the
end of the motor shaft. Clockwise rotation of the manual operator will retract
the stem on a linear unit and rotate the shaft clockwise (looking at the feedback
housing) on a rotary unit. The drive will declutch by moving outwards when
released.
Note: The actuators drive train and cylinder must be in proper working order to
operate handwheel/drill drive.

CAUTION:
Care must be taken to ensure the drill gun is limited to 2000
rpm. Running into a mechanical stop using a drill may
damage the actuator and potentially the equipment it is
attached to. As the actuator nears the end point, decrease
drill speed so damage doesnt occur.

M.2 MANUAL HYDRAULIC PUMP


The manual hydraulic pump can be installed on all units and needs only the
cylinder side of the hydraulic circuit and the FMV check valves to be in working
order. If the gear pump or suction check valves fail, the manual hydraulic pump
will still provide a means for manual operation.
To operate the manual hydraulic pump, insert lever into the piston assembly
and pump the handle up and down. To reverse the actuator direction, either
push in or pull out the black, direction control knob located on the bottom of the
assembly.
Note: It is not advisable to leave the lever in the piston assembly when the
hydraulic pump is not in use.

M.3 FAIL SAFE UNIT OPERATION


Fail Safe units, Spring Return and Accumulator, utilize solenoid valves in the
fail safe operation. Upon loss of power these solenoids will change state. In
order for manual operation, solenoids must be in position B for normally open
solenoids. Manually override them so they appear as shown in Figure M.3.
Refer to Rotary Spring Fail and Linear Spring Fail sections under Mechanical
Installation for additional information.

WARNING!

After using the handwheel, the overrides must be returned to


their open position or the unit will not operate correctly
when power is restored or trip signal removed. If only one
override is returned to the open position after a trip, damage
to the power module may occur. Changing the override(s)
back may also cause the actuator to run to the fail safe
position.

3. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The X2 is an electrohydraulic actuator that is powered separately from the
primary analog input signal. The actuator and its electronics do not draw
current from the circuit which is used only for HART signaling.
The X2 is configured using the pushbuttons on the front panel of the device.
The analogue input of this device is interpreted by the device as a setpoint. The
setpoint can be treated linearly or characterized according to user input. The

Appendix N

Digital Communications

HART communication over the analog input is used primarily for monitoring of
position, signal, and cylinder differential pressure (may not be available on all
models).

4. PRODUCT INTERFACES
4.1 Process Interface
4.1.1 SENSOR INPUT CHANNELS
The X2 has sensors that measure actuator position, actuator differential
pressure, and analog input signal. The measurements from these sensors are
scaled by the device into engineering units and are available as variables using
HART communication.
Other sensors are available as options but are not available using HART
communication. These are described in the X2 manual.

4.2 Host interface


4.2.1 ANALOG INPUT 1: ACTUATOR SETPOINT
The two-wire 4-to-20mA current loop is connected to the X2 . Refer to the
Installation Manual for connection details.

O. Output Load Protection

O.1 THEORY OF OPERATION


Each Xpac power module is equipped with two pressure limiting cartridges that
provide output load protection to the device the actuator is attached to. These
valves are located under the wire cover on the power module body as shown in
Figure O.2. The valve to the left controls the pressure in the extend or clockwise
direction.

O.2 IDENTIFICATION
Each valve has a pressure label sticker indicating its range of adjustment. The
range corresponds to the spring installed under the adjustment cap as noted in
Table O.2

Electromechanical or solid state switching devices may be used to activate the
control signal. The following points should be observed:

Appendix Q

Contact Input Options

Q-2

Contact Input Options

ON state:
Most AC and many DC solid state switching devices require a minimum current
flow in order to remain in the closed state. If this minimum current exceeds the
input signal current at the activation voltage, the current flow may be increased
by adding a shunt resistor across the input signal terminals of the pulse auxiliary
board.

OFF state:
The OFF state leakage current must be less than 1 mA. Diode clamps or RC
snubber networks placed across mechanical relays and the semiconductor
junctions of solid state switches will pass some current in the OFF state. If this
leakage exceeds 1 mA, a resistor added across the input signal terminals will
bypass the current.

Q.2 1 CONT
The single contact (1 Cont) option of controlling the actuator is for ON/OFF
applications. A single dry contact or live voltage is applied to the Contact Inputs
Board.
The dry contact is biased by 120 Vac available from the Contact input board. A
live voltage, 24 to 120 Vac/Vdc, is supplied by the end user.
When Signal Type = 1 Cont (one contact), two position operation
open/closed positionis selected. The applied signal defines actuator position.
If the Open input is active (powered), the actuator goes to Position Hi. If the
Open input is not active (un-powered), the actuator goes to Position Lo.
Note: Actuator will continue to move in desired direction as long as a signal is
present or until target is reached.

Typical wiring schemes are shown in Figure Q.2-1, -2.

R. Remote Manual Control

R.1 REMOTE MANUAL (RemoteMan)


The actuator may be equipped to connect to a remotely located manual station.
The basic station includes one Remote/Auto: two-position maintained switch,
and one Open/Off/Close: momentary spring-return-to-center switch. The two
position switch is used to alternate between Auto and RemoteMan (remote
manual) modes. In the RemoteMan mode, turning the momentary switch to
Open or Close will move the actuator in the open or close direction. The springreturn-to-center (off) will stop the actuator at the position when the switch is
released. As an additional option, a seven segment LED digital display may be
connected to the standard position transmitter to display actuator position at the
remote manual station.

RemoteMan allows the actuator to operate manually from a remote location.


Once the Remote Manual mode is entered, the current status will be displayed
along with Position.
The RemoteMan mode is only accessible if the Contacts Input board is
installed on top of the CPU. Typical wiring schemes are shown in Figure R.1-1, -2.

S. Safety Manual for ESD SIL Compliance


S.1 GENERAL
This REXA actuator is a Type A device with a hardware fault tolerance
(HFT) of 0. The Rexa actuator has a safety trip function designed to meet
or exceed the requirements of IEC 61508 for a SIL 3 capable designed
process. The actuator has been designed and verified to withstand the
worst case expected environmental conditions listed in the IOM and
specification sheet.
This section of the manual covers the operating requirements for the end
user to ensure their system is operated in compliance with the operating
requirements needed to achieve safe operation of the equipment in
accordance to the rated SIL level. The time in which an actuator will
transition into a safe state is defined as the time required to trip on the
Rexa data sheet. This transition time must be reviewed against the process
safety time to insure this product is appropriate for the application.
Any deviation to the installation, operation or maintenance from this
appendix will void the IEC61508 SIL certification and may impact the
ability of the actuator to accomplish its safety function. All product failures
impacting functional safety should be reported back to Rexa. The FMEDA
report for failure rates, failure modes, and proof test information can be
found in the Rexa report KOS 13-10-03 R0001, titled FMEDA Rexa, Xpac.

Appendix S

Safety Manual for ESD SIL Compliance

S-2

Safety Manual for ESD SIL Compliance

An example of the system and application environment in which the


PRODUCT will be embedded once delivered is shown in the following
drawing.

Figure 1: Example Safety Instrumented Function


S.2 SYSTEM SET UP
In order to properly set up the ESD control system the following measures
must be taken:
1. The actuator needs to be calibrated to the driven device. Reference the
Mechanical and Electrical installation section of this manual.
2. The actuator end points need to be set. Reference the section of this
IOM on setting mechanical end stops.

S.3 SYSTEM OPERATION


The primary safety function of the actuator is to place the driven device in
the process safe position when input to the actuators solenoid valves is
de-energized. The safety function that carries the SIL certification is an ESD
trip function. This trip function is designed to ensure the actuator can be
stroked in one direction to

REXA Series 2 Xpac - Installation and Operation Manual - 03/14

Appendix S

REXA Series 2 Xpac - Installation and Operation Manual - 03/14 S-3

either the full open or the full closed position. This function needs to be
controlled directly from the users SIS and not through the Rexa control
box. The ESD is certified for low demand fail safe applications.
3.1 The safety solenoids defined on the hydraulic schematic must be
wired directly into the main safety system. It is possible for the Rexa
controller to control these solenoids but in order to minimize the number of
components in the safety loop they must be wired directly into the safety
system for SIL applications.
3.2 Since the safety solenoids are controlled directly by the safety system
a trip relay must be installed to disable the Rexa electronics during a safety
event. This relay will insure the Rexa electronics cannot react to the safety
system taking control of the actuator.
3.3 This system has been designed to full stroke at rate which is shown
on the actuator data sheet provided to by REXA for this specific order.
3.4 The useful life of this actuator is 10 years based on the duty
cycle provided to REXA for this application. After recommended seal
maintenance the actuators useful product life is 20 years.
3.5 The REXA actuator is available in normally open or normally closed
ESD configurations.
3.6 A 24 hour mean time to repair should be assumed for safety
availability calculations.

S.4 SAFETY CRITICAL COMPONENTS


4.1 Definition - Some of the components on this actuator are identified
as safety critical. If the failure of any component would inhibit the safety
function of this Rexa actuator it is deemed a Safety critical component.
4.2 Only OEM supplied replacement parts can be used as suitable
replacement parts for any component identified as Safety critical.
4.3 This actuator was supplied to meet a strict number of specifications
and may not be modified in the field.

S.5 SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS


5.1 Built into the Rexa CPU are numerous diagnostics that can be
found in the error codes section of this IOM. These error codes must be

Appendix S

Safety Manual for ESD SIL Compliance

S-4

Safety Manual for ESD SIL Compliance

monitored by the safety system through an alarm relay. The only critical
alarmed feature that would indicate the system may not perform its
intended trip function is the stall alarm.
5.1.1 Stall Alarm If the actuator fails to move 1%, within the adjustable
stall time setting, while positioning the alarm relay will open indicating an
alarm event.
5.1.2 Partial stroke testing is performed to verify the actuator is capable
of performing its intended safety function. The actuator shall be designed
to support proof test intervals of 1 year or greater while consuming less
than 40% of the allowable PFDavg for SIL 2 SIF applications when PST is
implemented. The control and design of this test should be in the scope
of the control system. The Rexa actuator will only follow the requested
change in position as defined by the control loop. This PST percentage to
activate needs to be calibrated within the scope of the plants SIS system.
During a partial stroke test the control system must monitor the position
transmitter to insure the actuator actually successfully performed this
function. The control room supervisor needs to review and sign off on the
results of the proof tests. This PST should be sufficient to achieve a greater
than 65% SFF (Safe Failure Fraction). Key points to review during this test:
5.1.3 Verification from the REXA position transmitter that the actuator
followed the change in the control position and performed its PST function.
5.1.4 Redundant verification from an optional PST limit switch can be
provided, this limit switch needs to be wired directly into the SIS system.
5.2 The test results are to be recorded and stored for the life of the
product.
5.3 In order to insure this system can maintain its as designed
functionality the maintenance section of this IOM must be strictly adhered
too.

S.6 SITE ACCEPTANCE TEST PROCEDURES


A cognizant engineering supporting the operation of the system is
responsible for assigning individuals to conduct and record automated
testing and proof testing of the equipment. The cognizant engineer is then
responsible for reviewing the results.
6.1 Run the actuator open and verify stroking times meet the
specification sheet.

6.2 Run the actuator close and verify stroking time meet the specification
sheet.
6.3 Perform an ESD trip and verify stroking time meet the specification
sheet.
6.4 Run the actuator to its PST position to verify position feedback and
the optional PST limit switch is functioning properly.

S.7 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

T.1 POSITION TRANSMITTER


The position transmitter provides a two-wire 4-20 mA signal that is proportional
to actuator position. The transmitter's output is optically isolated from the
electronics. Both an active and passive transmitter are available. A passive
position transmitter is similar to other two-wire transmitters in that an external
dc power source is required. An active two-wire transmitter with its own 24 Vdc
power supply is available.
Note: Position feedback can be changed in the field from active to passive or
passive to active by rewiring the feedback as shown in Figures T.1-1 and T.1-2.

U. ELECTRONIC RELAYS
Limit Switch, Alarm and Warning
ELECTRONIC RELAYS
The electronic limit, alarm and warning relays are located on the CPU board. All
wiring connections are made directly to this board at TB1 and TB5. An indicator
LED shows the status (energized-ON) of each relay.
Two of the relays are configured in the Setup Mode to activate upon user
defined stroke limits. The third relay is an alarm indicator and the fourth is a
warning indicator.

U.1 Limit Switch Relays


LED D4 will illuminate when the Relay 1 is active; indicating the actuator position
is at, or below, the value set in parameter Relay 1.
LED D5 will illuminate when the Relay 2 is active; indicating the actuator position
is at, or above, the value set in parameter Relay 2.

U.2 Alarm and Warning Relay


LEDs D6 and D7 on the CPU Board are always active and light when the
actuator operates normally without any error and is following the control signal.

Appendix U

Electronic Relays

U-2

Electronic Relays

Appendix U

Once the actuator detects an error, or is put into LOCAL or SETUP mode,
the Alarm and Warning Relays open and LEDs D6 and D7 will turn off.
When the CPU detects an error, which opens the Warning Relay only, LED D7
will turn off. The Warning relay is a signal from the control enclosure that means
the REXA CPU detects a problem but can still operate and follow the Control
Signal.
The Alarm relay is a signal from the control enclosure that means the REXA CPU
detects a problem, or is in LOCAL or SETUP modes, and cannot follow the
Control Signal.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

X-1

X. Redundant Construction

INTRODUCTION
The modular construction of the Xpac allows the duplication of the critical
components without a major redesign or sacrificing operational characteristics.
Two Power Modules, two complete control electronics and two feedback
assemblies are used to operate a single hydraulic cylinder. Each module
operates from its own controls and feedback. Wiring and setup are the same as
for any standard REXA Actuator.
One module is designated as main and the other as backup. In this manner, the
operation of the main system is indicated to the backup system via the Main
systems Alarm relay Output. The functional difference between the modules is
strictly in the response to a change in control signal.

The Backup is sixteen times less sensitive than the Main, up to a


maximum of 5%.

For instance, setting the dead band of each module to 0.1% would mean that
the backup module is at 1.6%. A control signal change of less than 1.6% would
result in only the main module taking action to change position. A change
greater than 1.6% would have both modules operating. Regardless of the

Appendix X

Redundant Construction

X-2

Redundant Construction

change, positioning would still be 0.1% resolution. If the main module cannot
respond (indicated by the alarm), then the backup module will automatically
revert to fine control and position to the 0.1% setting.
This configuration has a redundancy of 90%. The only major component not
duplicated is the hydraulic cylinder which is unlikely to suffer a catastrophic
failure. Any size module can be upgraded. An R is added to the model number
to indicate this enhancement (L2000-2-2BR-P).

X.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION


Mounting and installation procedures for the actuator or drive are the same as
for a standard unit. The location of the mounting holes and shaft connections
are not affected.

X.2 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION


The two control electronics can be installed in a single enclosure or two
separate enclosures. In either case, there are two complete sets which function,
for the most part, independently.
Wiring is accomplished as two separate units. Each Power Module and
feedback circuit is connected to a single electronics.
However, the Alarm relay of the Main Control Enclosure is connected to the Aux
Contacts Open Input of the Backup Control Enclosure.

X.2.1 User Connections


Electrical power and control signal are wired in the conventional manner.
However, consideration should be given to maintaining the redundancy down to
the following user connections:
Power should be brought from two sources.

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

Appendix X

REXA Series 2 Xpac Installation and Operation Manual 09/11

X-3

A single 4-20mA control signal is looped through both electronics.

X.2.2 Redundant Interconnections


The Alarm relay of the Main electronics is connected to the Auxiliary Open
Contact of the Backup electronics. When the Backup detects the Main is in the
alarm state via this input, (Contact Input = no voltage detected), the Backup
switches to its normal deadband setting until the alarm condition is cleared.

X.2.2.1 Alarm Indication


The alarm relay is used to indicate the online status of the Main Power
Module. Power for the alarm is obtained from the Backup Actuator Main
AC power.

X.3 OPERATION
The operation is substantially unchanged from a standard unit. However,
some mention should be made to the interaction of two independent Power
Modules on the same cylinder. Both CPUs are looking at the actual position
and comparing this to the target position set by the control signal. If the target
position for one module is satisfied but not for the other, then one module will
reposition the actuator. If the repositioning causes the first module to move
outside of its target, then it will move the actuator back. This action would occur
with the same signal and low dead band settings (< 0.5%). Such operation is
alleviated by simultaneous calibration and the backup units deadband having
an internal setting sixteen times that of the main unit.
Another extraordinary condition will happen if one module is put into LOCAL
MAN and moved manually. The other unit will continue to track the control
signal and move the actuator back. Placing both CPUs in LOCAL MAN and
moving only one remedies this situation.

X.4 WIRING

CALIBRATE

Wiring is accomplished as two separate units. A Power Module and feedback


circuit is connected to a single electronics.

X.5 CPU SET UP FOR MAIN AND BACKUP


Each CPU is set as either the MAIN or BACKUP when shipped from the factory
as a complete unit. However, in the case where a CPU needs to be replaced,
the CPU must be set to either be the MAIN or BACKUP. This is accomplished in
the CONTROL menu, parameter Function, as shown.
The parameter Function = Backup can only be selected if the Contact
Inputs Board, P/N S97713, is installed. If the CPU is put into Auto mode when
Backup is selected and no input board is present, the error No inp bd will
be displayed and the CPU will revert back to the Setup mode.

X.6 SIMULTANEOUS CALIBRATE


Both CPUs should be calibrated at the same time on a step by step basis.
Follow the procedure indicated in Section 5.3. With the exception of the

Position Lo, Position High, all values in the SETUP Parameters should be
identical.

Position Lo and Position HI should be set at the same time.


1. Access parameter Position Lo on both the Main and Back Up
electronics, so that the = is flashing.
2. Operate the actuator, using the Main electronics, to the position that
corresponds to 4 mA.
3. The % position value should change on both Control electronics.
4. The value on the Main electronics may be slightly different than the Back
Up. That is acceptable.
5. Lock the value into Position Lo on the Main and Back Up by
pressing Enter and stopping the = from flashing.
6. Access parameter Position Hi on both the Main and Back Up
electronics, so that the = is flashing.
7. Operate the actuator, using the Main electronics, to the position that
corresponds to 20 mA.
8. The value on the Main electronics may be slightly different than the Back
Up. That is acceptable.
9. Lock the value into Position Hi on the Main and Back Up by pressing Enter and stopping the = from flashing.
10. Again, Position Lo and Position Hi of the Main Control
enclosure may have slightly different values than the Back Up values;
however, the physical position of the actuator is the same.

X.7 AUTO MODE DISPLAY


When in Auto mode, the CPU operating as the MAIN will display Auto-Main, and
the CPU operating as the BACKUP will display Auto-Bkup. When there is no
voltage present on the Backups Auxiliary Open input, (Main is in Alarm state),
the display on the Backup will change to Auto-Main until the alarm on the main
is cleared.

X.8 REDUNDANT HIGH SPEED SOLENOIDS


FOR SPRING FAIL OPERATION
Some actuators may be equipped with redundant hi-speed solenoids to offer a
mechanical spring fail on loss of Main AC power.
Each solenoid is connected to its respective Control electronics.
The two solenoids are hydraulically connected in series with one another. Under
normal operation, the solenoid valves are closed. This allows the actuator to
operate with the motor and pump.
When Main AC Power is removed from BOTH Main and Back Up Control
electronics, both solenoids will open, causing the spring to move the actuator to
the Fail Safe position.
Note: Because the solenoids are hydraulically connected is series, if Main power
to only one Controller is removed, the actuator will not travel to the fail position.
Rather, it will maintain normal operation with the motor and pump. In addition,
should solenoid become defective, the remaining solenoid allows for normal
operation.
