The VVP10 is a smart positioner designed to work with linear or rotary valve actuators, providing precision and control with high availability and reliability. It allows easy installation and commissioning and it is suitable for various types of valves, regardless of type and size.
VVP10 positioners are available in HART® 7 / 4-20mA and PROFIBUS PA technologies. HART® model has in its standard model the feedback signal (4-20mA) to indicate the current controlled position.
VVP10 also offers a model with pressure sensor, digital inputs (limit switches), outputs (for alarms and safety solenoid valves) and advanced diagnostics that help to predict efficiently the need for maintenance.
