Abstract
A positioner includes a modeling portion that, having input/output characteristics that model an electropneumatic converter, inputs a control signal from a control calculating portion to calculate an estimated value for an input air pressure that is inputted from the electropneumatic converter into a pilot relay, and a shift magnitude calculating portion that calculates a shift magnitude from the equilibrium state of the pilot relay, from the estimated value for the input air pressure, which is calculated by the modeling portion, and the output air pressure that is outputted from the pilot relay. The control calculating portion determines the control signal from an actual opening signal, an opening setting signal, and the shift magnitude from the equilibrium state of the pilot relay, and outputs it to the electropneumatic converter.
