C-TOP+ represents control device designed to provide optimal control of INOXPA valves. These devices are compatible with most PLC-automated systems with a digital communication system.
The C-TOP can be installed on any valve in the processes of the beverage, food and biopharmaceutical industries.
The principle of operation
Control device C-TOP+ includes alarm mechanisms and management to control the valves with pneumatic drive.
The functions of this control element:
• Pneumatic and electrical control
• Position sensors with feedback
The device is mounted on a pneumatic valve actuator. To control the valves, the device receives signals from the control panel or PLC and sends signals about the status/position of the valve to the PLC or control panel.
The C-TOP+ has 3 alarm LEDs (depending on the configuration) indicating the valve position. The fourth LED (white) indicates that the device is under voltage.
Design and characteristics
The C-TOP is characterized by a simple, modular and robust design, which guarantees maximum flexibility during installation. Depending on the version, the device has up to 3 3/2 (NC) solenoid valves and 3 sensors. If necessary, an additional external solenoid valve and an external sensor can be connected.
Sensors they are activated contactless by a magnet mounted on a control rod. The sensor can be of two types: “magnetoresistive” or “magnetic reed” and is activated contactless by means of a magnet in the shaft control area.
All C-TOP+ can be customized according to customer requirements.
