The C-TOP eX is a control unit that fits every INOXPA actuator and automates pneumatically operated process valves located in potentially explosive areas in the food, beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, among others.
C-TOP eX Control Unit
Request information
C-TOP eX Control Unit
Operating principle
The control head has a sensor system with NAMUR feedback using an LED indicator and low voltage solenoid valves, which are suitable for connection to an electrical or intrinsic safety barrier, and to a PLC with a digital interface.
External signals activate one to three solenoid valves, which control and act on the valve actuator. At the same time, inductive sensors detect the position of the valve actuator using the metal target installed on the actuator shaft.
The LED indicator will turn off once the set position is detected, sending the corresponding electrical signal through the electrical barrier to the PLC.
Design and features
The C-TOP eX is easy to fit onto the top of the valve actuator.
Quick and simple configuration.
Detection through feedback from NAMUR inductive sensors.
These sensors have an LED indicator for visual verification of their detection status.
