Principle of I to P Converter/transducer The electronic part module receives standard DC current input signal (4-20 mA) from DCS

or PLC. This current will operate coils then increasing or decreasing the magnet force following the input signal.

Magnet force will drive the linkage to adjust the distance between flapper and nozzel or in other word to control bleed air through an integral flapper-nozzel arrangement. The nozzle pressure provides the input signal to operate the relay. Then relay output pressure is applied directly to the final control element (control valve or actuator auto choke valve). When the flapper moves away from the nozzel, the output pressure will low/falls, and inversely when the flapper come closer to the nozzle the output pressure will increase/high.

I/P converter or I/P transducer stand for Current to Pressure Converter/Transducer. I/P converter recieve analog current to pressure. This device convert signal analog (mA) to standard signal pneumatic (Psi). Normally standard analog current 4-20 mA, and standard signal pneumatic 3-15 Psi. Table analog input current vs output signal pneumatic:

Input Output pressure mA Psi 0% 4 mA 3 Psi 25% 8 mA 6 Psi 50% 12 mA 9 Psi 75% 16 mA 12 Psi 100% 20mA 15 Psi %

Usually a current to pressure converter called " I-to-P" and inversely there will be "P-to-I"
