VAC D500 Advanced Digital Positioner

Reliability– Proven rugged technology, vibration test specified.
Flexibility– Various mounting options, analog or binary feedback alarms,
microswitches with universal analog input available
Diagnostics– Pressure sensor option for advanced diagnostics with
partial stroke capability standard
Performance– Very high resolution, air delivery, precise positioning with
270-degree sensor, SIL2, and intrinsically safe options.
Simple-push buttons for auto-calibration and configuration,
LCD program with standard loop calibrator.

The D500 microprocessor based positioner brings the latest technology, flexibility, and user-friendly features (local push buttons and LCD display) for local operation and calibration of a pneumatic actuator and/or control valve package. A robust design (NEMA 4X, Ip 65), with excellent air delivery, uses very traditional and proven components to provide very fast, accurate, and consistent control with very low air consumption.

Optional accessories like analog or digital feedback, various switch options, an emergency shutdown module, SIL 2 approvals, fail freeze option and pressure sensors for advanced diagnostics make the D500 a complete positioner package. Coupled with VAC’s multiple drive adapters and an extensive list of rotary or linear actuator mounting, this combination offers users and distribution channels a lot of flexibility and opportunities.
