Valco supports the actuation of valves with the controllers and interfaces listed below. Since our electric actuators have more control and automation capabilities built in, most of the products in this section are for expanding the capabilities of our two position and multiposition air actuators.
CONTROLLERS | Used with: | 2 Position | Selector | Function | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SVI | Serial valve interface | Std. electric and air actuators | Controls up to six actuators from a computer. Air actuators require a DVI. | |||
SOLENOIDS | Used with: | 2 Position | Selector | Function | ||
MSVA2 | Manifold solenoid valve assembly (3 way solenoids) | Air actuators | Sends pulses of air to switch actuator from position to position, eliminating problems associated with continuous air pressure. | |||
310 | 3-way solenoid | Diaphragm valves | Required to actuate VICI diaphragm valves | |||
410 | 4-way solenoid | Air actuators | Simplest way to step selector air actuators | |||
INTERFACES & ACCESSORIES | Used with: | 2 Position | Selector | Function | ||
DVI | Digital valve interface | Air actuators | Translates time events from a data system, integrator, or controller such as our SVI into air pulses | |||
HSSA | High speed switching accessory | Air actuators | For high speed switching | |||
Position feedback for air actuators |
Air actuators | Provides a contact closure for TTL logic level signals | ||||
Position feedback for manual valves |
Manual Valco W and UW type valves and manual Cheminert Models C1, C2, and C4 | Continuous contact closure remote starts a data system or chromatograph |
