Positioner with remote control electronics
F
F.1 Introduction to remote control electronics
In some cases it is advisable to use the positioner separately from the control electronics. The
option of separating the control electronics of the positioner is available for this purpose. The
positioner is in a different location than the control electronics. This remote control electronics
of the positioner allows the valves to be controlled in radiation contaminated environment, as
all highly integrated electronic components are located in the area that is protected from
radiation. Highly integrated electronic components are, for example, memory blocks and
microprocessor blocks.
For the above described deployment you required the two following components:
● Component 1 consisting of the control electronics in the form of a 19" slide-in module. The
19" slide-in module is installed in the control cabinet. Available in the following variants:
– Slide-in module as 4 to 20 mA with 2-wire connection, article number A5E00151560
● Component 2 consisting of the positioner without control electronics. The positioner with
control electronics is mounted on the valve.
– Positioner without control electronics with Position Transmitter and pneumatic unit,
mounted on the valve, article number 6DR5910-0NG00-0AA0.

Components 1 and 2 are connected electrically to each other. The components are described
below.
F.2 19" slide-in module
F.2.1 Description of 19" slide-in module 4 to 20 mA
Description
This component is a control electronics in the 19" slide-in module in 4 to 20 mA version.
Commissioning is only possible in conjunction with a positioner component 6DR5910. The 19"
slide-in module has three channels and controls up to three valves.
The control electronics supplies the current position of the valve in the form of a current of 4 to
20 mA, which corresponds to the position feedback.
