Introducing the Sofis Valve Position Indicator

Create Date: 2024-8-30 12:03:23|Source: P+F/Double Blessing

Sofis, an expert in the operation of valves in the process industry, relies on sensors for its latest treatment solution, the "Valve Orientation Indicator" (VPI). VPI provides an overview of the orientation of manual valves in the plant network. In combination with integrated sensors and an innovative counting mechanism that automatically detects stem rotation, the VPI provides reliable valve orientation information. Thanks to its clearly visible LED display, the valve position can be easily read and reported to the control room. This avoids faulty positioning of manually operated valves, reduces costs and increases the reliability of the entire process.

                                 Introducing the Sofis Valve Position Indicator

Stand-alone sensor handling for manual rotary valves

The VPI can be used for the azimuth of starting and closing, as well as the indicator of the azimuth of actuating or closing. The high-precision counting mechanism ensures that the signal is activated or switched off only when the valve practice reaches its final position. Users can use different types of sensors to equip this condition indicator on their own.

Thanks to its cylindrical or slotted housing design and the various inductive sensor product lines in Ex i and Ex na versions, users can handle a wide range of applications with maximum sensitivity. A wide temperature range of -50 ... + 100 °C and safe versions up to SIL 3 make the device suitable for use in the most challenging environments.

A range of sensors for the process profession

These sensors are part of the company's inductive product range and are tailored to the process profession and valve positioning. Regardless of orientation or drive, the range covers a wide range of products in indoor, outdoor and pole conditions. Extensive knowledge of the engineering profession and decades of experience in explosion protection ensure a reliable application and treatment solution.

Rugged, fast installation

The VPI enclosure is made of coated aluminum or AISI 316L stainless steel to maintain electrical and mechanical components from harsh industrial environments. Thanks to the universal unit kit for all valve types, the VPI can be quickly installed and used anywhere.

Product Highlights:

Accurate orientation detection for actuating and closing manual valves

Accurate parameter settings and easy reset of the "on/off" orientation for robust performance

A broad portfolio of inductive sensors for orientation detection in a wide range of housing types

Supply of explosion-proof sensors (Ex i and Ex nA)

Up to SIL 3 safety class is used

Rugged coated aluminium or AISI 316 stainless steel housing

Universal device kit, easy to install, highly functional
