Siemens extends its positioner portfolio

With the Sipart PS100, Siemens is pre­sent­ing a new posi­tion­er that is impres­sive­ly easy to com­mis­sion and high­ly robust. The Sipart PS100 can be ini­tial­ized quick­ly at the touch of a but­ton, auto­mat­i­cal­ly adjust­ing itself to the attached valve. If required, it is pos­si­ble to opti­mize the posi­tion­er for a spe­cif­ic appli­ca­tion with just one fur­ther touch of a but­ton. Just as some cam­eras fea­ture por­trait, sport or night mode, the posi­tion­er can be set to dif­fer­ent modes for pre­cise and fast adjust­ment, open/close oper­a­tion and oth­er appli­ca­tions. These func­tion­al­i­ties save time, cut the costs of com­mis­sion­ing, and increase the return on investment.
The Sipart PS100 is fit­ted with a large, easy-to-read dis­play that allows users to see the sta­tus of the device at a glance. With its four-but­ton oper­a­tion and Namur NE107 sup­port, the device can be con­fig­ured quick­ly and conveniently.
The Sipart PS100 is avail­able in two enclo­sure vari­ants: poly­car­bon­ate and alu­minum. Thanks to these par­tic­u­lar­ly robust and durable mate­ri­als, the new addi­tion to the Siemens posi­tion­er port­fo­lio is capa­ble of with­stand­ing extreme­ly harsh and aggres­sive envi­ron­ments. The Sipart PS100 uses state-of-the-art con­tact­less tech­nol­o­gy to detect the posi­tion of the valve. This elim­i­nates wear, extend­ing the device’s ser­vice life and facil­i­tat­ing eas­i­er, faster com­mis­sion­ing. Equipped with a cor­ro­sion-resis­tant silencer, the Sipart PS100 is espe­cial­ly suit­ed to appli­ca­tions in the chem­i­cal and pow­er sectors.
The Sipart PS2, an estab­lished ele­ment of the Siemens posi­tion­er port­fo­lio, has gained some new fea­tures. Option­al pres­sure sen­sors improve the valve diag­nos­tics and process mon­i­tor­ing, increas­ing the degree of uti­liza­tion and avail­abil­i­ty of the plant. The enhanced posi­tion­er sup­ports dig­i­tal­iza­tion in plants. The Siemens valve mon­i­tor­ing app pro­vides users with all the infor­ma­tion they need to fol­low a pre­dic­tive main­te­nance approach by per­form­ing cloud-based analy­ses of valve data. It makes exten­sive con­trol and analy­sis options avail­able to users so that they can detect in good time when ser­vice tasks need to be car­ried out before poten­tial faults occur. In this way, the use of the valve mon­i­tor­ing app makes it pos­si­ble to cut main­te­nance and oper­at­ing costs.
