Electro-pneumatic positioner

An electro-pneumatic positioner responds to an electrical command and regulates actuator air using position feedback. This distinguishes it from a pneumatic-only positioner; a smart positioner may be a narrower variant with digital processing. Signal type, supply pressure, action, and any communication capability must come from the actual model data.

Application and duty

Positioning a pneumatic actuator from an electrical command with compatible feedback

TECHNICAL REFERENCE

Selection summary
