EX200

The EX200 is an essential component in the control of electro-hydraulic actuators. This compact instrument switches the solenoids of the actuator such that it moves to the position dictated by an incoming analog command signal. 

The actual position of the actuator, measured by a position transducer, is conditioned by the EX200 and re-transmitted back to the Central Control System as a scaled analog signal. 

The positioner is calibrated by a simple two-step procedure. Other features include actuator speed control by pulsing the control solenoids, signal break and fault detection with default positioning 

With the addition of suitable relays or contactors the EX200 can also be used to position reversing AC motors.

EX200 Hart

The EX200-HART provides all the functions of the popular EX200 with the addition of HART Communications Foundation protocol. 

The HART data is superimposed on the retransmitted actual position signal. In addition to the Universal Command and selected Common Practice commands, the EX200-HART gives access to certain Device Specific Commands for configuration and tuning of the positioner.

A PC based software interface, SW002, has been developed for factory test and field use.

IS200

The IS200 can control an electro-hydraulic actuator operating within a Zone 0 Hazardous Area, Gas Group IIC and temperature rating T4.   

The instrument has an on-board manual control system and can be calibrated and configured with the hazard present.    

The IS200 provides a compact, lightweight and cost effective solution to the control of valves in the most difficult environments.  

An optional HART version of the IS200 can be specified.

IRP200 and IR900

The IRP200 positioner, when housed in a windowed Ex'd' enclosure, can provide full local control and configuration of an electro-hydraulic actuator system within a Zone 1 hazardous area. 

The IRP200 has a two line alphanumeric display and responds to the operation of the intrinsically safe IR900 keypad via an infrared link through a window in the Ex'd' enclosure. This link enables configuration, calibration and tuning of the positioner whilst operating on a live system. 

The IRP200 has a fully isolated retransmitted actual position signal and comprehensive fault detection and alert systems.

The IR900 keypad is a fully certified handheld unit for transferring data to the IRP200.

GS400

 

The GS400 is DIN 72x72 panel mount instrument for positioning reversing ac servos. 

The instrument can accept potentiometer or current positional feedback and inputs from the actuator end of travel limits. An auto-manual station is on the front panel together with a digital display of actual position in the range 0-100%. 

The actuator position is retransmitted as a scaled 4-20mA signal.

AP51

The AP51 is a compact electric actuator positioner designed to fit within the actuator housing.   The instrument positions either a DC or AC reversing actuator to a current or voltage command signal with local positional feedback from a potentiometer mechanically coupled to the actuator. 

Over travel is stopped by end of travel limits. The AP51 provides a scaled actual position output signal of 4-20mA. Calibration and tuning are achieved by simple on-board adjustments.
