SIEMIENS SIPART PS2 (6DR5...) Electrical Positioner Operation Guide

SIEMIENS SIPART PS2 (6DR5...) Electrical Positioner Operation Guide

Basic and Product Overview

Overview

The compact operation guide for SIPART PS2 (6DR5...) electric pneumatic positioner covers core contents such as product introduction, safety instructions, installation and mounting, connection, debugging, maintenance, technical parameters, and appendices. It is clear that the positioner is suitable for continuous control of process valves in multiple industries such as chemical, oil and gas, and energy. It emphasizes that the use in hazardous areas must comply with explosion-proof standards (such as ATEX, IECEx), and installation and debugging must follow specific steps (such as automatic/manual initialization). At the same time, detailed technical data (such as working temperature -30~+80 ° C, protection level IP66) and adaptation information for each module (alarm, position feedback, etc.) are provided to ensure safe and compliant operation of the equipment.

Product Usage and Compatibility

Usage: Used in 8 major industries including chemical, oil and gas, energy, food and beverage, papermaking, water supply and drainage, pharmaceuticals, and offshore platforms to achieve continuous control of valves in pneumatic drive processes

Compatibility: Different document versions need to match specific device firmware (FW) and integrated software versions, as shown in the table below:

Communication protocol document version, device firmware requirements, compatible with integrated software (including EDD version)

HART 05/2018 FW: 5.01.00 and above; Device version 6 and above  SIMATIC PDM V9.0（EDD:23.00.00+）、AMS Device Manager V12.5（EDD:23.00.00+） wait

PROFIBUS PA 05/2018 FW: 6.00.00 and above SIMATIC PDM V9.0 (EDD: 22.00.00+), SITRANS DTM V4.1 (EDD: 22.00.01+), etc

FOUNDATION Fieldbus 05/2018 FW: 3.00.00 and above; Device version 3  SITRANS DTM V4.1（EDD:3.00.00+）、AMS Device Manager V12.5（EDD:3.00.00+） wait

Goods inspection and nameplate

Goods inspection: After receiving the goods, it is necessary to check whether the packaging/items are damaged and verify the consistency between the order and the shipping documents; Prohibit the use of damaged or incomplete equipment (there is a risk of explosion in hazardous areas)

Nameplate information: including key information such as manufacturer, protection level (e.g. IP66), software and hardware versions, explosion-proof identification (e.g. Ex d IIC T6/T4), serial number, etc. The explosion-proof nameplate needs to be additionally labeled with ATEX/IECEx/FM/CSA certification information

Safety instructions (core risk prevention and control)

Warning level system

DANGER: Failure to take preventive measures may result in death or serious personal injury

Warning: Failure to take preventive measures may result in death or serious personal injury

CAUTION: Failure to take preventive measures may result in minor personal injury

NOTICE: Failure to take preventive measures may result in property damage

Requirements for use in hazardous areas

Operator: Must have the qualification to operate equipment in hazardous areas and be familiar with electrical, high-voltage, and hazardous medium safety regulations

Explosion proof requirements: Only use equipment labeled with the corresponding explosion-proof level (such as II 2 G Ex d IIC T6/T4 Gb), and prohibit the use of equipment suitable for non hazardous areas; If the equipment has been used in non hazardous areas, its explosion-proof label must be permanently removed

Special Warning: The pneumatic terminal board of 6DR5. 6 locator is a safety component of explosion-proof shell, and its fixing screws must not be loosened

Other safety regulations

Equipment modification: Only modifications are allowed according to the document instructions. Unauthorized modifications will cancel the warranty and certification

Power requirements: It is necessary to connect a safety isolated Extra Low Voltage (SELV) to avoid voltage flashover; Dangerous area connection equipment must be carried out in a power-off state (except for Ex i version)

Cable requirements: Use cable glands/plugs that meet explosion-proof standards. Unused cable entrances must be sealed, and shielded cables are only allowed to be grounded at one end (when crossing hazardous areas)

Installation and mounting

Basic security prerequisites

Pneumatic actuators have high operating force and must follow their safety instructions; The mounting kit with position detection lever poses a risk of compression, and it is prohibited to insert limbs into the range of motion of the lever

Only use Siemens original accessories/spare parts to avoid the risk of explosion in hazardous areas; Before installation, confirm that there is no visible damage to the equipment and that the sealing gasket is correctly positioned to avoid damage during cover installation

Different mounting methods for actuators

Linear actuator: Use 6DR4004-8V mounting kit, suitable for stroke 3-35mm; for stroke exceeding 35mm, an additional 6DR4004-8L lever needs to be ordered

Angular stroke actuator: VDI/VDE 3845 mounting surface (thickness>4mm with reinforcement) needs to be provided on the actuator side, paired with 6DR4004-8D kit or TGX: 16300-1556 stainless steel coupling
