                                       Valve automation for increased process reliability, efficiency and flexibility
                                       GEA’s valve technology sets the standards for reliable, safe and permanently efficient
                                       liquid processes. Leading-edge control and automation options enable operators to
                                       achieve optimum control and monitoring of the valve – thereby realizing state-of-the-art,
                                       highly flexible operating and automation concepts.

                                       The key component is the latest generation of GEA control tops with reliable, ground-

                                       top specified for the particular application together to form a finely tuned valve unit
                                       capable of realizing advanced system concepts and enhancing process options.

                                       The control top – integral part of the valve unit
                                       The connection between valve and control top becomes particularly meaningful
                                       when looking at the air paths needed to actuate the main hub. In contrast to other
                                       manufacturers, GEA valves have an internal air duct, which means that there is no
                                       need for tubing between the control top and the valve actuator. The control air from
                                       the control top enters and departs the actuator directly via the inner air duct through
                                       the piston rod, so that there is no unnecessary loss of compressed air and the valve
                                       can perform optimally.

                                       The control top enables optimized production and cleaning processes with less effort
                                       in terms of personnel, energy and time. Valve functions can be automatically and
                                       continuously monitored, recorded, evaluated and, if necessary, corrected. Detectable valve
                                       positions make a decisive contribution to optimal system operation. This ensures
                                       smooth processes and maximum product safety.

In 24 V parallel wiring digital signals are exchanged between a
terminal unit and generally the corresponding input and output
modules of a PLC. In this case, it is necessary to have a separate
wire for each signal, usually in the form of a multi-core cable.
                                                                     IO-Link is the first globally standardized IO technology

actuators and sensors. This is to replace parallel wiring used in
the past. The AS-Interface has been an international standard
acc. to EN 50295 and IEC 62026-2 since 1999. AS-i products
are certified by the AS International Association, thereby,
ensuring that equipment from different manufacturers will
work together in the same system. The transmission medium
is an unshielded, two-core yellow cable which also carries the       NAMUR
electrical power supply (24 – 30 V direct current voltage) for
the communication electronics and the slaves. A maximum of
62 slaves can be used per AS-i master. The slaves are addressed
manually using a manual addressing unit or automatically by             NAMUR

although by using repeaters it is possible to extend the entire
length up to 400 m.                                                  The 2-wire NAMUR sensors and solenoid valves used here can

         Structure

         The T.VIS® A-15 is equipped with a precise path measuring
         system for detecting its position.

         The necessary wiring for control and feedback is performed,
         depending on the requirements, via the M12 plug connections
         accessible from the outside or through direct wiring and cable
         glands.

         The control top can be opened for this.

         Operation and configuration of the T.VIS® A-15 takes place
         either by the two push buttons on the cap or, with the cap
         removed, via the buttons below. The push buttons are secured
         electronically against inadvertent or incorrect operation, while                                 T.VIS® A-15

In most process valves (VARIVENT®, D-tec®), the control air
for actuating the valve is fed directly from the control top into
the actuator via internal air duct. In the case of process valves
that do not permit internal air flow (Aseptomag®, VESTA®),
the air is supplied from the control top via external tubing.

The actual initialization process runs automatically. The
procedure only requires completed connections of the control
top to the air supply and electrical system. No other tools are
necessary.

Logic NOT-function
Optionally, a logic NOT-function can be integrated into the
control top without additional control effort.

This provides automatic air support for the spring in the
actuator in order to increase the holding force of the valve.

Mechanical – the sensors are calibrated mechanically using
the positioning spindles, which are subsequently secured to
prevent self-adjustment.

Logic NOT-element

A logic NOT-element is available as an option. It simplifies
wiring with automatic air support of the spring in the
actuator, in order to increase the holding force of the valve.

         The SES is characterized by proven sensor technology.        Proven NAMUR sensors
         The control top consists of an interface module, up to       Simple and quick adjustment of sensors
         2 sensors for valve position feedback and up to 3 solenoid
         valves which can also be installed subsequently.             Flexible modular system

         The SES is only available in PA 12/L material, because
         conductivity of the material is required for use in          Retro-fittable

Field of application

Use in potentially explosive atmospheres is permitted:*

• With proximity switch** up to zone 1 and 20
  • For connection to approved intrinsically safe equipment
  • ATEX identification:

• With solenoid valve up to zone 0 and 20                         Air guidance
  • For connection to approved intrinsically safe equipment

• With interface module
  • Not subject to Ex approval because it is a purely passive
     component

Please note
*	There is no ATEX certification for the complete control
   top. Certifications can only be issued for the individual
   components of the control top. Please note that the
   permitted Ex-zone / ATEX category of the complete control
   top depends on the approval of the component with the
   lowest protection level. The entire control top with all
   components is optionally certified according to:
   • CSA C22.2
   • ANSI / ISA 82.02.01-1999
   • UL 1203, 4th Ed.
   • UL 429, 6th Ed.
   • ISA / ANSI 12.12.01-2011

**	The intrinsically safe components are only allowed to be
    individually connected to an approved safety barrier. This
    arrangement permits use in a risk area.

         Structure
         The control top T.VIS® V-1/V-20 consists of a base element and
         the cap. The base element incorporates an integrated high-
         precision path measurement system. The cap contains the
         control electronics and must therefore not be opened by the
         customer. An external hose connection is provided for supplying
         the process valve with control air. When used as a control top,
         a solenoid valve is integrated and the air connections are
         accessible from the outside. When used as a position indicator,
         the pneumatic valve control is carried out by a customer-side
         solenoid valve, e.g. in a solenoid valve terminal. The necessary
         cabling for feedback and/or control is carried out via externally
         accessible M12 plug connections. The T.VIS® V-1/V-20 is operated    Service Mode (T.VIS® V-1)
