Method for starting up an actuator

A method for commissioning an actuator ( 1 ), includes querying and inputting operating parameters of the actuator ( 1 ) one after the other in an interactive menu structure, with at least one path which determines the operating parameters to be queried one after the other being defined in the menu structure, and an acknowledgement of a parameter input causing a jump along the defined path to the next parameter input, in particular wherein the path connects a plurality of branches of the menu structure.

Claims preview

1 . A method for commissioning an actuator ( 1 ) for a valve or fitting, the method comprising: providing the actuator ( 1 ) having an operating unit ( 4 ), wherein the operating unit ( 4 ) has at least one operating mode selector switch ( 9 ) and a screen ( 7 ); querying and inputting operating parameters of the actuator ( 1 ) one after the other in an interactive menu structure, wherein the interactive menu structure is organized in screen pages; defining at least one path which determines the operating parameters to be queried one after the other in the menu structure; an acknowledgement of a parameter input causing a jump along the defined path to the next parameter input; wherein the actuator ( 1 ) has at least two operating modes and a user effecting a change of the operating mode by the at least one operating mode selector switch, wherein in a first operating mode a manual movement of the actuator is possible and in a second operating mode a parameter input is possible; wherein within a path at least one manual change to the first operating mode (S 8 , S 13 ) is enforced; executing a jump within a predetermined said path only if the change of the operating mode (S 8 , S 13 ) is actually executed; switching the operating mode selector switch acknowledging a screen page that forces the change to the first operating mode; and in the first operating mode, moving the actuator to an end position and setting this end position as the parameter input. 2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a jump within the path depends on a previous operating parameter input. 3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising calculating an end position from an input operating parameter.
