What is a positioner for?

Precise valve control on every command

The sensor measures temperature at the heat exchanger outlet and transmits the data to the controller. The controller compares the measured temperature with the setpoint.

When adjustment is needed, the controller sends a command to the positioner. The positioner precisely adjusts the valve stem to regulate the process flow.

Features

Everything you need to control the valve

ANALOG CONTROL

Three standard signals — one input

4...20 mA, 0...20 mA and 0...10 V. Adjustable range, direct or reverse output.

0100%
DIGITAL INTERFACE

RS-485 / Modbus RTU

Control, parameter setting, and integration into a process automation system.

INDICATION

Operation status in real time

Light ring gives instant feedback on device state.

FEEDBACK

Actual position control

The measurement error is less than ± 0.5%. Repeatability is 10 microns.

COMMISSIONING

Automatic configuration

Auto-tuning adapts to your valve characteristics.

LOCALLY

Setting with buttons on the housing

Basic parameters and manual operation are available directly from the front panel of the positioner.

DIAGNOSTICS

Safe state

Control of internal errors and input signals.

CHARACTERISTICS

Linearization

Setting the valve response to the input signal.

Modifications

Basic or Advanced

Both versions support analog control and Modbus RTU. The difference is in the additional inputs and outputs.

Let's find the positioner that fits your valve

Please send the model, a photo of the label, and a general view of the valve. When we recognize the equipment, we can often provide an initial recommendation. If compatibility cannot be determined from the photo, we will request dimensions, additional data, or arrange a site visit. Either way, just contact us — the rest is on us.

Check compatibility A photo helps to start the selection, but the final decision sometimes requires measurements or a closer look at the equipment.

FAQ

Frequent asked questions

What is a valve positioner?+

A device that receives a control signal, regulates the air supply to the pneumatic actuator, and drives the valve to the required position.

Which valves is the positioner suitable for?+

As standard — for VALMA ASV-series valves. It can be used with normally closed (NC) valves from other manufacturers with a stroke of 5...45 mm and a full stroke time of up to 30 seconds. The design and adapter must be checked.

Which control signals and interfaces are supported?+

4...20 mA, 0...20 mA and 0...10 V, and RS-485 Modbus RTU.

How does V1A differ from V1B?+

V1A additionally has an analog output (AO), two digital inputs (DI), and two digital outputs (DO).

Can I install a positioner on an existing valve?+

In some cases, yes. The valve type, the stem stroke, the pneumatic actuator design, and the mounting adapter must be checked.

Can I order a ready-to-install valve with a positioner?+

Yes. You can select a complete kit: VALMA ASV-series valve, pneumatic actuator, and positioner — pre-configured and tested.
