General components used with SIEMENS positioners in harsh operating conditions

Thread Content

If Siemens positioners are exposed to harsh conditions such as intense and continuous vibration, extreme environmental temperatures, or nuclear radiation, it is necessary to install the position sensor and the control unit separately. Therefore, universal components suitable for both linear and rotary actuators are required, as detailed below: 1. Control unit, various models of SIPART PS2 Siemens positioners. 2. Position sensor unit: It consists of a SIPART PS2 housing with integrated friction fit, a built-in potentiometer, as well as various plugs and seals. 3. The EMC filter board that comes as a set with the cable clip and the end of the M-20 cable compartment can be used: The EMC filter board must be installed on the SIPART PS2 Siemens locator, and the installation instructions provided along with the EMC filter describe how to assemble the components. 4. Three-core cable connection to the component: When a potentiometer (with a resistance value of 10KΩ) is used in place of the position sensor unit C73451-A430-D78 on the actuator, these improved components must be used for the Siemens positioner control unit.
