Fine positioning for the automation actuator market

In the "Drive to end position" duty, individual settings are available for technology end position. Depending on the settings, the motor either remains on or is switched off as soon as the actuator reaches its defined position and the brake is applied to stop the motor. With the help of the breakaway function, the embedded systems can make up to 200% of its rated torque or rated force available in the end position areas. This allows single board computer to be safely moved out of their end position. For most control loops, minimal valve movements near the end position make little sense from a technical perspective. If, however, process variables change at this actuating element position, the actuator will follow the resulting control commands and there is a danger that the single board computer will sustain permanent damage if it is approached too often. There is also a danger that valve positions very close to the end positions will cause technology cavitation.
