Introduction to ABB Valve Positioner V18345-1010421001:
The introduction of the ABB Valve Positioner V18345-1010421001 has enabled digital communication for field actuators and integrated management across the plant through advanced tools. TZID/TZID-C breaks through the traditional concept of positioners, using TEIP11 as the core component, combined with microprocessing technology and built-in communication functions. It is suitable for controlling rotary and linear valves, with high positioning accuracy and a large stroke range: linear stroke: 20~150mm, rotary: up to 125 degrees. Gas capacity ≥ 13.5kg/hour, gas consumption ≤ 0.03kg/hour, simplifying debugging through automatic zero point/range adjustment.
Here are the key features of the ABB V18345-1010421001 (TZIDC) valve positioner:
Compact, modular design: Easy to mount and integrate into existing actuator assemblies (linear or rotary).
Input signal: Standard 4–20 mA, with HART protocol for remote diagnostics and configuration.
Fail-safe function: The unit safely drives the valve to a predefined position upon loss of signal or power.
Feedback options: Built-in analog 4–20 mA position feedback module, with optional digital switches.
LCD Display and Pushbuttons: Onboard interface for quick commissioning and status indication.
Flexible mounting: Complies with DIN IEC 534/NAMUR (linear) and VDI/VDE 3845 (rotary) standards.
Ingress protection: Rugged housing rated IP65 / NEMA 4X—well-suited for tough industrial environments.
Low air consumption: Optimized pneumatic design reduces operating costs over time.
Wide application range: Suitable for use in chemical, power, oil & gas, and water treatment industries.
