# Industrial Specification: Positioner / Controller

## 1. Technical Definition
A device that regulates and controls the position or movement of an actuator within a mechanical system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-20 MPa hydraulic pressure, -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature, 4-20 mA control signal**. Failure boundary: **Hydraulic pressure exceeding 25 MPa causes seal extrusion, temperature beyond 125°C degrades electronic components, control signal deviation beyond ±0.5 mA from setpoint**, Mechanism: **Seal failure due to exceeding material yield strength (EPDM rubber: 15 MPa), semiconductor junction thermal runaway at 150°C, Hall-effect sensor saturation at 2.1 Tesla magnetic flux density**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hydraulic fluid contamination with 15 μm particles exceeding ISO 4406 18/16/13 cleanliness level | 8 | Spool valve stiction causing 500 ms response delay and ±2% positioning error | Install 10 μm absolute beta₅=200 filter with differential pressure monitoring at 0.3 MPa |
| 24 VDC power supply voltage drop to 18 V for 100 ms duration | 8 | Solenoid coil demagnetization resulting in 0% valve opening regardless of control signal | Implement uninterruptible power supply with 50 ms switchover time and voltage regulation to ±5% |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
