ES-4612 Rev.2
MEXL
Final Control Elements
VALVE POSITIONER
(for LonWorks; built-in SSR)
Functions & Features
• LonWorks compatible
• Used for 24 - 200 V AC electric actuator position control
• Position feedback via potentiometer (100 Ω - 10 kΩ unadjusted)
• Direct motor driving with built-in SSR (with zero-cross circuit)
• Restart control timer built-in to prevent motor overheating due to frequent on/off switching
Typical Applications
• Retrofitting existing equipment for LonWorks compatibility

EXPLANATIONS OF TERMS
•
SSR (Solid State Relay)
Composed only of semiconductor parts, SSR is free from arc discharge or chattering which is typical with electromagnetic relays. It features excellent characteristics against vibration, physical impact or other environmental conditions.
•
Zero-Cross Function
SSR with zero-cross function turns on when AC power voltage is near zero, creating delay of switching when input is provided in the middle of an wave cycle, thus limiting transient switching noise voltage and rush current.
