Product Description
- SMC’s IP8101 intelligent position controller is used in process and automation technology for the precise control of pneumatic rotary actuators and rotary valves.
- It is suitable for applications where rotary movements need to be automatically monitored and precisely positioned.
- The position controller is used in continuous control loops to convert electrical control signals into pneumatic actuator movements.
- Typical applications include automated process plants with high demands on control accuracy and ease of use.
- The intelligent SMC IP8101 positioner is an electro-pneumatic positioner with shaft feedback and microprocessor control.
- It features automatic initialisation for easy commissioning and supports the automatic adjustment of control parameters.
- The design features an integrated position indicator and a digital display for parameter setting and operating status.
- The housing complies with protection class IP65 and is designed for industrial applications.
