The control head Type 8695 is optimized for integrated mounting on the 21XX process valve series with smaller actuator sizes. The registration of the valve position is done through a contact-free analog position sensor, which automatically recognises and saves the valve end position through the teach function when starting up. The integrated pilot valve controls single or double-acting actuators. The design of the control unit and the actuator is specially designed for the requirements of a hygienic process environment and enables an internal control air channel without external tubings. Besides the electrical position feedback signal the status of the device is shown directly on the control head itself through coloured LEDs showing a clear visible valve position status. As an option a fieldbus interface, AS-Interface, can be chosen. The housing is easy to clean and features proven IP protection and chemically resistant materials for use in hygienic processing in food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Combined with Bürkert ELEMENT actuators the unique pilot valve system enables a compressed air recycling that avoids actuator chambers contamination from the environment.
