C-TOP+ CONTROL UNIT

Application

The C-TOP+ is a pneumatic control unit designed to ensure an optimum control over the INOXPA process valves. It is compatible with most PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers) automated systems with digital communication.
C-TOP+ can be installed to any current process valve in the food-processing, beverage and biopharmaceutical industries.

Operating principle

The C-TOP+ control unit incorporates indication and command devices to control pneumatically operated process valves.

This unit as a single piece has the following features:
• Pneumatic and electric control over the valve
• Position sensors with feedback

The control units are fitted to the pneumatic actuator. It receives signals from a control panel or from a PLC to actuate the valves and sends signals to the PLC or to the control panel to communicate the status/position of the valve.
C-TOP+ unit contains three LEDs constantly indicating the operating status of the valve. A fourth LED (white) indicates whether the operating voltage supply is connected.

Design and features

The design of the C-TOP+ unit is simple, modular and resistant that guarantees the maximum flexibility. Depending on the product version it has up to three 3/2 solenoid valves (NC) and three sensors. If necessary, an additional external sensor and an additional external solenoid valve can be connected.
The sensors are actuated contact-free by a magnet attached to the control rod. The sensor can be magnetoresistive or magnetic reed type and it is activated without contact wiith a magnet in the shaft control.

The C-TOP+ units can be set up according to the customer’s requirements.

Configuration of solenoid valves
• Single-acting actuation - 1 solenoid valve
• Double-acting actuation - 2 solenoid valves
• Mixproof valve – 3 solenoid valves

Configuration of sensors
• 1 position (closed or open valve) - 1 detector
• 2 positions (closed and open valve) - 2 detectors
• 3 positions (open valve, closed valve, Mixproof seat cleaning) - 3 detectors
