Positioner for Hydrogen Valves CMSH - FESTO

  • The CMSH is a versatile and intelligent digital positioner designed for precise control of process valves actuated by pneumatic actuators. It is suitable for use in harsh operating conditions due to its wide ambient temperature range and high degree of protection.
  • The CMSH is an intelligent, digital positioner. It controls the position of a process valve that is actuated by a pneumatic actuator. Configuration and operation can be performed locally on an LC display using operating buttons. A HART interface permits remote access and integration into higher-level systems.
  • There are product variants for single- or doubleacting actuators with safety settings (failsafe, fail in place). The product is suitable for attachment to actuators with a mechanical interface in accordance with VDI/VDE 3845-1 (IEC 60534-6-2) or VDI/VDE 3847-2.
  • The product variant CMSH-S-... has an internal position sensor for detecting displacement/angle. Alternatively, an external potentiometric position sensor can be connected to the positioner on all product variants.

Key Benefits

  • User-Friendly: Features a large, rotatable LCD display and a setup wizard for easy commissioning.
  • Flexible: Compatible with various actuators and mounting interfaces (VDI/VDE 3845-1 and VDI/VDE 3847-2).
  • Reliable: Includes self-monitoring and diagnostics for increased system availability and integrated pressure sensors for monitoring.
  • Intelligent, digital electropneumatic positioner with HART communication
  • Fast and precise position control of single- and double-acting pneumatic rotary and linear drives
  • With integrated or external path/angular detection
  • Commissioning, operation, maintenance and diagnostics on the local display via the user-friendly software menu or via remote access with EDD-based (Electronic Device Description) or FDT-based (Field Device Tool) transmission
  • 2-conductor technology
  • Perfect interaction with the pneumatic extension modules VTOP
  • Variants with safety functions
  • Sustainable operation thanks to efficient control

Key Features

  • Design: Available in variants for single-acting, double-acting, and switchable actuators.
  • Safety Functions: Options for fail-safe (exhausting) and fail-in-place (holding the last position) configurations.
  • Pneumatic Connections: Options for G1/4 and 1/4 NPT connections.
  • Electrical Connections: Spring-loaded terminals with options for M20 and 1/2 NPT threads.
  • Communication: HART interface for remote access and integration into higher-level systems.

Operating Parameters

  • Operating Pressure: 0.14 ... 0.8 MPa (1.4 ... 8 bar)
  • Air Output: Up to 380 l/min
  • Signal Range: 4 - 20 mA with HART
  • Ambient Temperature: -40 ... 80°C
  • Degree of Protection: IP66, IP67
  • The CMSH is a 4 ... 20mA loop-powered 2-wire device. An additional power supply is therefore not required.

Application Areas

  • Ideal for controlling the position of process valves in various industrial applications, including those in harsh environments.
