Working Principle
- Command Signal Receiving Stage: The amplifier receives external valve opening adjustment command signal; the signal can be 4-20mA analog signal transmitted by DCS control room, or digital position command sent by upper control system through RS485 Modbus bus
- Position Feedback Sampling Stage: The amplifier continuously collects the actual valve stroke position analog feedback signal from the potentiometer built inside the matched REXA electro-hydraulic actuator
- Digital PID Closed-Loop Calculation Stage: The internal DSP digital processing chip compares the target valve opening command value and the actual feedback position value, calculates position deviation, adjusts the output drive current amplitude and phase to the brushless servo motor through PID closed-loop algorithm, control the motor forward/reverse rotation to eliminate position deviation
- Electro-Hydraulic Actuator Drive Execution Stage: The amplifier output three-phase drive current drives the small brushless servo motor inside the REXA actuator; the motor drives the patented Flow-Match positive displacement gear pump to push hydraulic oil to the double-acting hydraulic cylinder, drive the valve stem to move up and down to adjust the valve opening stroke
- Fault Diagnosis & Alarm Output Stage: The amplifier internal real-time monitoring circuit continuously detects power supply voltage, motor operating current, internal chip temperature, feedback signal circuit state; once abnormal fault condition is detected, immediately cut off motor drive output, close fault alarm relay contact, upload fault code information to upper control system through Modbus bus

Installation Requirements
- Two Optional Installation Modes:
- On-actuator mounting: Fixed installation on the side wall of matched REXA electro-hydraulic actuator through reserved mounting lugs
- Cabinet DIN rail mounting: Installed on standard industrial control cabinet 35mm DIN rail, vertical installation required
- Installation Direction Restriction: Must be installed vertically; horizontal or inverted installation will affect internal natural convection heat dissipation, easily trigger over-temperature fault alarm
- Wiring Classification Specification: Strictly separate power supply wiring, analog signal wiring, RS485 communication wiring into different wiring troughs; analog and communication signal cables must use shielded twisted pair cables, single-point grounding of shielding layer at cabinet ground bar
- Ambient Installation Environment: When installed outdoors on the actuator side wall, must be equipped with additional rain-proof and sun-shade protective cover; cannot be installed in environment with long-term direct sunlight, rain splashing, corrosive chemical gas accumulation
- Grounding Specification: Amplifier metal box ground terminal must connect to equipment safety protection ground wire with wire diameter ≥1.5mm² copper wire, eliminate static electricity and electromagnetic interference
Application Scenarios
- Petrochemical refining production lines: Pipeline flow control valves, reactor pressure regulating valves, oil and gas mixing ratio modulating valves
- Natural gas transmission and distribution stations: Gas pipeline pressure reducing control valves, storage tank pressure relief modulating valves
- Thermal power, chemical energy storage power plants: Boiler water supply flow control valves, flue gas desulfurization pipeline regulating valves
- Water treatment industrial sewage treatment stations: Chemical reagent dosing flow control valves, sewage pipeline pressure regulating valves
- Offshore oil and gas platforms, LNG storage terminals: Flammable and explosive medium pipeline precise modulating valve drive control
Operation & Maintenance Precautions
- Before power-on commissioning, must complete valve stroke full range calibration operation according to REXA official manual; uncalibrated amplifier cannot realize accurate closed-loop position control
- Do not open the amplifier metal box cover during power-on operation; live opening will expose high-voltage power circuit terminals, have electric shock safety hazard
- Regularly clean the internal heat dissipation fins of the amplifier every six months, remove accumulated dust to avoid poor heat dissipation triggering over-temperature fault shutdown
- When modifying valve control parameters through Modbus bus, must stop the valve adjustment operation first; parameter modification during stroke movement will cause valve jitter and overshoot
- The matched REXA electro-hydraulic actuator internal hydraulic oil adopts standard automobile 5W-50 engine oil, no need to replace hydraulic oil within the whole service life of the actuator, do not add other types of hydraulic oil privately
- If the amplifier repeatedly reports position deviation fault, check whether the actuator internal position feedback potentiometer wiring is loose or damaged, replace the potentiometer if signal collection is abnormal
- Spare amplifiers for backup storage must be placed in dry constant temperature warehouse, all wiring terminal blocks covered with dustproof plastic protective caps to prevent dust and moisture corrosion of circuit board pins
