SITRANS VP300 Sensors - SITRANS VP300

SITRANS VP300 is our newest addition to the family. It supplements our range of positioners for use in hostile environments, and with compressed air, which is frequently moist or contaminated.

SITRANS VP300 is particularly easy to operate. The graphic display can be viewed in a wide variety of languages. Histograms and other graphic information can be output directly on the display.

The SITRANS VP300 applies the GMR effect which was awarded a Nobel Prize in 2007. This giant magnetoresistance discovered is used for non-contacting detection of position. This means instead of awkwardly fitted levers and complex interaction between the components, the SITRANS VP300 only requires a single magnet and is immediately available for use for strokes up to 150 mm (5.9 inch) and rotary angles up to 120°.

Our new SITRANS VP300 is equipped with the innovative OPOS interface. This multivendor mechanical and pneumatic interface in accordance with VDI/VDE 3847 allows simple assembly of the positioner at the front with just two screws – without external piping.

Rugged for all applications: SITRANS VP300 is designed as standard with an aluminum enclosure to IP66 degree of protection. The non-contacting position detection is resistant to vibration. The valve block itself is less susceptible to problems resulting from compressed air which is contaminated, moist or contains oil.

By means of a regular partial stroke test SIPART PS2 and SITRANS VP300 ensure that ESD valves (emergency shutdown) and other open/close automated valves remain movable in the event of an emergency.

SIPART PS2 and SITRANS VP300 are both equipped with comprehensive diagnostics functions as standard. In order to provide advanced warning of expensive failures during operation, our positioners continuously check the actuator and valve.
