- What is the difference between the setpoint and the power wiring?
A Valpes POSI actuator (GP5 or GP6) can run to a specific position proportionately with a setpoint signal (terminals 15 & 16) and send a feedback signal about its position (terminals 13 & 14)
There are two kinds of positioning signals (setpoint and feedback):
Voltage signal: 0 to 10V
Current signal: 4 to 20mA
Those signals can’t rotate the actuator without a power connection (terminals 1 and 2) according to the following diagram:
2. Can I change the type of setpoint and feedback signals (0-10V and 4-20mA)?
It’s possible to modify the type of the signals but it implies a new positioning card configuration (see the tutorial video “GP6 (ER+) and GP5 (VR/VS) positioning card setting” available on this website).
