IndiTop Valve Position Indicator
The IndiTop® is a simple indication unit used in conjunction with all kinds of pneumatic processing valves. It is used to provide indication of the valve’s position by means of an electronic signal. Mounted on top of the valve, the IndiTop senses the valve’s position and sends feedback signals to the PLC to indicate whether the valve is open, closed, or outside of those two set positions.
IndiTop is a great choice when feedback is all you need. Its simple, enclosed design provides reliable feedback with minimal maintenance and installation requirements.
