Flowserve Corp. has announced the Flowserve Logix 3400IQ Foundation Fieldbus digital valve positioner. The unit features a FISCO-compliant user interface board, improved potentiometer, piezoelectric technology, and host interoperability.

Compatible with any HART or Foundation Fieldbus distributed control system (DCS), the positioner controls the position of both single- and double-acting valve actuators with linear or rotary mountings. The unit is suitable for a wide variety of applications, including oil and gas and chemical processing.

Commissioning, calibration, tuning and setup is possible in about two minutes from the local user interface. All parameters from the user interface are automatically updated in the Transducer Block, eliminating the need to enter Function Blocks to perform a simple stroke calibration.
Local setup and calibration of the 3400IQ does not require a link to a host controller, PC or hand-held device. Units employ a 9 Vdc supply current and 45 psi (min.) air supply for any valve/actuator platform.
