Globe Valves Actuators
MVE
APPLICATION AND USE
The New MVE is a fl exible electro-mechanical actuator for the
control of two and three way globe valves in:
• Heating and Cooling systems
• Air handling units
• District Heating plants
• Industrial Temperature Control systems.
The MVE can be controlled either by a proportional (modula-
ting) signal or by an increase/decrease (Floating) signal.
It is easy to mount and connect the actuator. Direct mounting
is possible to any CONTROLLI fl anged valve. Linkage kits are
available for CONTROLLI threaded valves as well as for valves
of other manufacturers.
The Actuator has a fi ne resolution (500 steps on the full stroke
range) for exacting fl uid control and it is able to self-calibrate
on a different stroke without the need of any user action (this
function is dip-switch selectable on the fi eld).
The MVE has intelligent behavior and alarm functionality in
case of unexpected operation, feedback of alarms to the user is
provided by LEDs (Green and Red) on the control board.
OPERATION
The Actuator translates the control signal (modulating or 3 point
fl oating) from the controller into a valve position. A modern bru-
shless DC motor in the actuator drive a gear train and a worm
gear – screw jack mechanism convert the motor revolutions
into accurate and repeatable linear movements.
Control Signal
The MVE can be controlled by one of 2 main control types.
• 3 point fl oating ;
• Modulating (or proportional) signal with fi led selectable range
(e.g. 0..10Vdc, 2..10Vdc, 0..5/5..10Vdc and 4-20mA).
Manual Operation
There is a manual operation handle on the Actuator. When it is
lowered, the power supply to the motor power stage circuitry is
cut and the motor stops. The actuator can be operated manual-
ly and the valve positioned accordingly. The manual operation
level latches in position until it is raised again and power returns
to the board and motor. When the manual override is engaged
the green and the red LED are ON.
Manual operation lever can also be used as sort of re-set fun-
ction after any dipswitch setting or alarm function occurrence.
The actuator is supplied with the manual operator lowered.
Position Feedback
The MVE utilizes a 2-10V position feedback, where 2V indica-
tes a closed valve with a fully retracted actuator.
Calibration
The MVE has both Auto and Manual Stroke Calibration, Sw.7.
In factory delivery the auto stroke calibration is enabled – ma-
nual calibration is not necessary unless maintenance is requi-
red on the valve or certain alarm functions are desired.
End Point Auxiliary Switches (with accessory DMVE)
End point switches change over when the valve is fully open
or closed. End point switches can be utilized to indicate val-
ve stroke end positions and for relay control of additional plant
equipment. End point switches will also allow the actuators to
be controlled in sequence, thus providing a high system turn
down ratio of the plant. The auxiliary switch position according
to the valve position is shown in the picture below.
Diagnostic
The actuator is provided with a self diagnostic algorithm able to
detect faulty conditions:
• stroke out of range 5-60 mm;
• unexpected stall condition (e.g. valve stuck);
• missing expected stall condition(e.g. link loose);
• voltage supply out of range.
These faulty conditions are signaled via the Green and Red
LED on the PCBA blinking accordingly (see Diagnostic – Alarm
Function Table).
