SIPART PS2 positioners offer decisive advantages: 

• Simple installation and automatic commissioning (self-adjustment of zero and span) 
• Simple operation with - Local operation (manual operation) and configuration of the device using three buttons and a user-friendly two-line display - Parameterization via SIMATIC PDM 
• Very high-quality control thanks to an online adaptation procedure 
• Negligible air consumption in stationary operation 
• "Tight shut-off" function (ensures maximum positioning pressure on the valve seat) 
• Numerous functions can be activated by simple configuring (e.g. characteristic curves and limits) 
• Extensive diagnostic functions for valve and actuator 
• Only one device version for linear and part-turn actuators 
• Few moving parts, hence insensitive to vibrations 
• External non-contacting position sensor as option for extreme ambient conditions 
• "Intelligent solenoid valve": Partial Stroke Test and solenoid valve function in a single device 
• Partial Stroke Test e.g. for safety valves 
• Can also be operated with natural gas 
• SIL (Safety Integrity Level) 2
