How does the PLC control the valve ?

Analog output to valve positioner? to I/P (current to pneumatic transducer)?

Digital communications to valve positioner?

Does the valve positioner provide position feedback?
- via analog 4-20mA ?
- via digital comm?

Thanks for interest, valve have digital 6010 series emerson positioner no feed back connected limit switch nothing ...just two wire from plc ...it's control valve but they using like on/off valve..my interest is if valve is in open condition & suppose power fail ( iop) so valve going its fail safe condition close shut off...so that same time what will be effect u can showing in plc ( i mean plc have also status 100% open logical 1) but actually in field it closed ( logical 0) so do there plc will change status in ladder logic from 1 to 0.....or is there green healthy line become red like now it's not helathy ...my interest is to khow what effect will on plc side if valve fail it's communication (power fail,,,,calbe some open...or sort somewhere)...
