Valve Position Indicator (VPI)

VPI is a high-performance switch box for manual multiturn valves.

It detects when valves have reached their open or closed position and sends a signal to your DCS.

This valuable information about manual assets enriches your control system’s capabilities.

It helps to further optimize your process performance, and prevents safety issues or product contamination caused by incorrect valve line-ups

Configurations

The VPI can be applied in any plant.

You can connect it to your control system in a number of ways, depending on your communication infrastructure.

Use your existing cable infrastructure

Connect the VPI to a wireless transmitter, irrespective of which protocol you use

In remote locations, communicate online via a GPRS transmitter.

The VPI is available in coated aluminium and in high performance AISI 316.

The A-series
which is fit for operation in any type of onshore environment, from arctic to desert weather conditions

The S-series
which is made of AISI 316 stainless steel and resist even the roughest offshore conditions and all weather types

Both models are universally applicable and extremely durable.
