The Azbil AVP300-VSD2A is a member of the industry-leading Smart Valve Positioner 300 Series, engineered to deliver exceptional control accuracy, simplified commissioning, and reduced maintenance overhead for pneumatic control valves. Designed by Azbil Corporation (formerly Yamatake), a global pioneer in industrial automation, this positioner combines robust construction with intelligent diagnostic capabilities to optimize valve performance across a wide spectrum of process industries.
Universal Compatibility
Unlike proprietary systems, the AVP300 Series is designed to mount seamlessly on control valves from virtually any global manufacturer. Whether you operate Fisher, Samson, Masoneilan, or Azbil actuators, a single positioner model can be configured to match your valve assembly, eliminating the need to stock multiple spares for different valve brands.
Effortless Auto-Setup & Calibration
Commissioning is drastically simplified through Azbil's built-in auto-setup function. Using an external switch accessible without removing the cover, technicians can initiate a fully automatic configuration sequence that scans the actuator, determines zero and span, and optimizes control parameters—often in under 90 seconds. This feature reduces downtime and allows precise adjustments even in hazardous areas using only a screwdriver.
Advanced Valve Diagnostics
The AVP300-VSD2A incorporates diagnostic parameters that provide early detection of control valve abnormalities, including stick-slip, total travel, cycle counts, and travel histograms (when used with HART communication or Azbil's Valstaff maintenance support system). This predictive capability enables maintenance teams to transition from reactive repairs to proactive planning, minimizing unplanned process interruptions.
Forced Full-Close Function
Azbil's unique forced full-close function ensures tight shut-off without shifting the zero point calibration. When the input signal falls below a user-defined threshold, the positioner drives the valve to a completely closed position, enhancing seat tightness and process safety.
The AVP300-VSD2A is suitable for precise control of both single-acting and double-acting pneumatic actuators, including linear diaphragm, linear cylinder, and rotary cylinder types. Its robust design and wide temperature tolerance make it ideal for:
Oil & gas production and refining
Petrochemical and chemical processing
Power generation (steam, feedwater, and cooling water control)
Pulp & paper digesters
Water and wastewater treatment
General process industries requiring reliable valve automation
