System Description
Type 024.16.720
6.4.2. Features
•Models
for single-acting valve actuators.
•Positionmeasuringsystem
Contactless and therefore wear-free position measuring system.
•Microprocessor-controlledelectronics
for signal processing, control and valve control.
•Controlmodule
The device is controlled via 2 buttons and a 4-pole DIP switch. 2x 2-colored LEDs indicate different sta-
tuses of the device.
•Controlsystem
The control system consists of 2 solenoid valves. One valve is used to aerate and another to deaerate the
pneumatic actuator. The solenoid valves operate according to the rocker principle and are controlled with

•Positionfeedback(optional)
The position of the valve can be transmitted to the PLC via an analog 0/4-20 mA output.
•Binaryinput
If a voltage > 10 V is applied, SAFE POSITION is activated, i.e. the valve is moved to the safety position
(factory setting, can be changed with communications software).
Pneumatic interfaces •
1/4“ connections with different thread
forms (G, NPT)
hose plug-in connection
Electrical interfaces •
Circular plug-in connector or cable
gland
•Body
The body of the positioner is protected from excessively high internal pressure, e.g. due to leaks, by a
pressure limiting valve.
•Communicationsinterface
