How It Works
The Flowserve Logix digital valve positioner receives a 4–20 mA control signal from the control system.
The internal microprocessor compares the signal with actual valve position feedback and adjusts the pneumatic output accordingly.
This closed-loop control ensures precise valve positioning while continuously monitoring valve and actuator performance.
Diagnostic information can be accessed locally or remotely, allowing predictive maintenance and reduced downtime.
Installation Overview
- Mount the positioner to the control valve or actuator using the correct mounting kit
- Connect the instrument air supply and pneumatic tubing
- Wire the 4–20 mA signal loop
- Perform auto-calibration and setup
- Verify valve stroke and response during operation
