this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

INTRODUCTION
New instruments for process control and measurement including valve positioners are mainly
equipped with microprocessors thereby utilising digital data processing and communication
methods and/or artificial intelligence, making them more complex and giving them a consider-
able added value.
Modern intelligent valve positioners are no longer only controlling the valve position, but they
are in many cases also equipped with various facilities for self-testing, actuator/valve condition
monitoring and alarming. The variety of added functionalities is large. They can no longer be
compared with the single function "cam-type" positioners. Therefore, accuracy related
performance testing although still very important is no longer sufficient to demonstrate their
flexibility, capabilities and other features with respect to engineering, installation, maintain-
ability, reliability and operability.
In this standard the evaluation considers performance testing and a design review of both
hardware and software. The layout of this document follows to some extent the framework of
IEC 62098. A number of performance tests described in IEC 61514 are still valid for intelligent
valve positioners. Further reading of IEC 61069 is recommended.

INDUSTRIAL PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS –
Part 2: Methods of evaluating the performance of
intelligent valve positioners with pneumatic outputs
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61514 specifies design reviews and tests intended to measure and determine
the static and dynamic performance, the degree of intelligence and the communication
capabilities of single-acting or double-acting intelligent valve positioners. The tests may be
applied to positioners which receive standard analogue electrical input signals (as specified in
IEC 60381) and/or digital signals via a data communication link and have a pneumatic output.
An intelligent valve positioner as defined in Clause 3 is an instrument that uses for performing
its functions digital techniques for data processing, decision-making and bi-directional
communication. It may be equipped with additional sensors and additional functionality
supporting the main function.
The performance testing of an intelligent valve positioner needs to be conducted with the
positioner mounted on and connected to one or preferably more actuator/valve assemblies in
turn. The specific characteristic parameters of these combinations such as size, stroke, friction
(hysteresis), type of packing, spring package and supply pressure for the pneumatic part, are
to be carefully chosen and reported. It should be noted that the performance of a positioner in
such combinations is actuator dependent. Tests on different sizes of actuators are required in
particular for the determination of the operational range (dynamic response and stability) of a
positioner.
The methods of evaluation given in this standard are intended for use by manufacturers to
determine the performance of their products and by users or testing laboratories to verify
equipment performance specifications. The manufacturers of intelligent positioners are urged
to apply this standard at an early stage of development.
This standard is intended to provide guidance for designing evaluations of intelligent valve
positioners by providing:
– a checklist for reviewing their hardware and software design in a structured way;
– test methods for measuring and qualifying their performance under various environmental
and operational conditions;
– methods for reporting the data obtained.
When a full evaluation, in accordance with this standard, is not required or possible, the tests
which are required should be performed and the results reported in accordance with the
relevant parts of this standard. In such cases, the test report should state that it does not cover
the full number of tests specified herein. Furthermore, the items omitted should be mentioned,
to give the reader of the report a clear overview.
The standard is also applicable for non-intelligent microprocessor-based valve positioners
without means for bi-directional communication. In that case an evaluation should be reduced
to a limited programme of performance testing and a short review of the construction.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 61514 and
IEC 60050(351), in addition to the following apply.
3.1
intelligent valve positioner
position controller as defined in 3.1 of IEC 61514 based on microprocessor technology, and
utilising digital techniques for data processing, decision-making and bi-directional communi-
cation; it may be equipped with additional sensors and additional functionality supporting the
main function.
NOTE 1 In this standard, only positioners with pneumatic output signals are considered. The input signal may be
an electric current or voltage, or a digital signal via a fieldbus.
NOTE 2 For non-intelligent microprocessor-based position controllers without bi-directional communication an
evaluation is reduced to a limited amount of performance testing and an abridged design review of the construction.
3.2
configuring
process of implementing the functionality required for a certain application
3.3
configurability
extent to which an intelligent positioner can be provided with functions to control various
applications
3.4
calibration
process of adjusting the range of travel to the required value for acquiring a defined input-to-
travel characteristic. The adjusted travel can either be from stop to stop or to a value in
between as defined by the valve manufacturer
NOTE Instruments may exist that are provided with an automatic procedure for travel range adjustment, which
may then be addressed with the term auto-calibration.
3.5
tuning
process of adjusting the various control parameters for a certain application
NOTE The stem tuning procedure can range from "trial and error" to an automatic proprietary procedure provided
by the manufacturer and often addressed as auto-tuning.
3.6
set-up
process of configuring, calibrating and tuning a positioner for optimal controlling of a specific
actuator/valve assembly
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
– 10 – 61514-2 © IEC:2004(E)
3.7
travel cut-off
point close to the extreme end (low or high) of the characteristic curve at which the positioner
forces the valve to the corresponding mechanical stop (fully closed or fully open)
3.8
stroke time
time required to travel between two different positions under a defined set of conditions
3.9
dead band
finite range of values within which reversal of the input variable does not produce any
noticeable change in the output variable
3.10
operating mode
selected method of operation of the positioner
3.11
setpoint
input variable, which sets the desired value of the controlled variable (travel)
NOTE The input variable may originate from an analogue source (mA or voltage) or from a digital source (fieldbus)
or local keyboard).
3.12
balance pressure
average of the pressures on the opposite chambers of a double acting actuator in steady state
condition
NOTE The balance pressure must be expressed as a percentage of the positioner supply pressure to evaluate the
stiffness of the double acting system.
4 Design review
The observations of this clause shall be based on open literature (manuals, instruction leaflets,
etc.) provided to a user on delivery of the instruments and whatever the manufacturer is willing
to disclose. They shall not contain confidential information.
The design review is meant to identify and make explicit the functionality and capabilities of the
intelligent valve positioner under consideration in a structured way. As intelligent positioners
appear in a great variety of designs a review has to show in a structured way the details of
– their physical structure;
– their functional structure.
Subclause 4.1 guides the evaluator in the process of describing the physical structure of
intelligent positioners through identifying the hardware modules and the I/O's to the operational
and environmental domains.
Thereafter the functional structure is described using the checklist of 4.2. The checklist gives a
structured framework of the relevant issues, which have to be addressed by the evaluator
through adequate qualitative and quantitative experiments
