ABB TZIDC Digital Positioner V18345-1010221001 1/2 NPT

The TZIDC is an electronically configurable positioner with communication capabilities designed for mounting to pneumatic linear or rotary actuators. It features a small and compact design, a modular construction, and an excellent cost-performance ratio. Fully automatic determination of the control parameters and adaptation to the final control element yield considerable time savings and an optimal control behavior.

An I/P module with subsequent pneumatic amplifier is used to control the pneumatic actuator. The well-proven I/P module proportionally converts the permanent electrical positioning signal from the CPU into a pneumatic signal used to adjust a 3/3-way valve. The air flow for pressurizing or depressurizing the actuator is continuously adjusted. As a result, excellent control is achieved. When reaching the set point, the 3/3-way valve is closed in center position to minimize the air consumption. Four different pneumatics versions are available: for single-acting or double-acting actuators, each with "fail-safe" or "fail-freeze" function.
