Positioner
EP5+F5-MEC
PMV Electropneumatic positioner ,with feedback unit
The EP5+F5-MEC is an electropneumatic valve positioner equipped with a mechanical feedback unit for accurate positioning of pneumatic control valves. The positioner converts an electrical control signal from a PLC, DCS, or controller into a proportional pneumatic output pressure that accurately positions the valve actuator.
The integrated F5-MEC feedback unit provides valve-position indication and limit-switch feedback for monitoring valve status.
The unit is suitable for both linear and rotary pneumatic actuators used in process industries such as oil & gas, chemical, power generation, water treatment, pharmaceutical, and general industrial automation.
The F5-MEC provides independent valve-position feedback for monitoring and control systems.
