6. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
6.1. Intended Application Area
The positioner Type 024.16.720 is designed to be mounted on pneumatic actuators of process valves for
the control of media.
6.2. Function of the positioner and combination with valve types
Positioner Type 024.16.720 is an electropneumatic position controller for pneumatically actuated control valves
with single-acting actuators.
Together with the pneumatic actuator, the positioner forms a functional unit.
