Azbil Smart Valve Positioner 200 Series Model AVP20_ | High-Vibration Resistant, Split-Type Design

This key feature allows the robust detector to be mounted directly on the valve actuator, even in areas experiencing extreme vibration or high temperatures, while the positioner electronics can be installed up to 20 meters away in a more accessible location for easier and safer maintenance. Offering the same core intelligence and functionality as the standard 300 Series, the 200 Series excels in applications where traditional positioners would fail prematurely.

Key Features and Benefits

• Exceptional Vibration and Temperature Resistance: The position detector can withstand harsh conditions with accelerations up to 10G at 2000Hz and ambient temperatures up to +80°C, offering a service life up to five times longer than conventional electro-pneumatic positioners.

• Enhanced Safety and Ease of Maintenance: The split design significantly improves maintenance safety and operational efficiency by allowing the main unit to be placed in an accessible location, away from hard-to-reach or hazardous valve installations.

• Universal Compatibility and Easy Setup: It is compatible with control valves from all major global suppliers. The Auto Setup (Auto-Tuning) function enables quick and safe configuration directly via an external switch, even in hazardous areas, without needing a PC.

• Advanced Intelligence and Diagnostics: Select models feature HART communication protocol and valve diagnostic capabilities. They can monitor key parameters like stick-slip, cycle counts, and travel speed, enabling predictive maintenance.

• Versatile Functionality in One Unit: A single model covers a wide range of applications. Users can digitally configure input signal span, select flow characteristics (Linear, Equal%, Quick Opening, Custom), and adapt it for single or double-acting actuators with an optional reversing relay.
