Fisher Positioner Relay

The Fisher positioner relay B used in Fisher positioners is actually a single-acting reverse-acting relay. You can think of it as the "signal amplifier" inside the positioner - the control signal from the controller is often too weak on its own, so the relay boosts it into a strong enough pneumatic signal to drive the actuator and ensure the valve operates reliably.

In other words, it acts as the "messenger" between the positioner and the actuator. When the signal alone isn't enough, it gives the push needed - fast response and accurate output are critical. In industrial process control, this step is key to making sure the valve goes exactly where it's supposed to.

If you happen to be maintaining or replacing this component, it's a standard OEM replacement part - install it, and it's ready to go.

By acting as a powerful signal booster, Relay B enables the actuator to respond immediately and correctly to the desired setpoint. Its reverse-acting design is crucial for specific fail-safe configurations where increasing air pressure applied to the actuator diaphragm causes the valve to close (commonly known as Air-to-Close or Fail-Open applications).

Essential for Fail-Safe and Safety-Critical Applications

The reverse-acting capability of a Fisher positioner relay might sound like a technical spec, but in a safety interlock loop, it serves as the last line of defense. Some actuators are designed so that "the higher the air pressure, the tighter the valve closes." In these cases, if the signal suddenly drops or the air supply fails, the valve still needs to close reliably - that's exactly what the reverse-acting relay does. It ensures the valve responds according to the design logic: closes when it should, stays put when it shouldn't move.

Signal amplification: Turning a "soft whisper" into a signal that can move the valve.
The control signal from the positioner is usually too weak to drive the actuator directly. The relay takes that signal, amplifies it, and sends it to the actuator. Fast when it needs to be fast, precise when it needs to be precise - that's how the actuator follows commands accurately.

Precise control: Not just "giving air," but controlling how much and when.
The relay works in tandem with the positioner - the positioner tells it the target, and the relay delivers the air exactly as needed. The result: the valve holds steady at the setpoint, keeping process parameters like flow, pressure, and temperature stable.

Single-acting design: Simple, reliable, and made for this type of actuator.
Many actuators have only one air port (such as single-diaphragm types). The single-acting relay is designed specifically for these actuators. No unnecessary complexity - just connect it, and it works reliably every time.
