Product Details
The Foxboro SRD991 Intelligent Valve Positioner is a microprocessor-based digital positioner engineered to provide accurate, repeatable valve control for both linear and rotary pneumatic actuators. Designed for demanding industrial environments, the SRD991 combines high control precision, flexible communication options, and comprehensive valve diagnostics to reduce downtime and improve process stability.
The SRD991 supports HART communication for remote configuration and monitoring, offers automatic calibration routines, and delivers fast response times and stable control over a wide range of valve and actuator combinations. It is available in general purpose and explosion rated housings and can be paired with most pneumatic actuators and industry standard mounting kits.

FAQ
Q1: What communication protocols does the SRD991 support?
A1: The SRD991 supports HART for the standard version. There are variants and options that support FOUNDATION Fieldbus or PROFIBUS PA — check model selection.
Q2: Can SRD991 be mounted on both linear and rotary actuators?
A2: Yes. It is designed for easy mounting on both linear and rotary actuators using standard NAMUR or ISO mounting kits and couplers.
Q3: How is the SRD991 commissioned?
A3: Commissioning can be done locally using the built-in interface and pushbuttons, or remotely via HART handheld or host software. The unit offers automatic calibration routines to speed setup.
Q4: Does the SRD991 provide valve diagnostics?
A4: Yes. Built-in diagnostics include position feedback, travel monitoring, friction detection, air consumption trends and health indicators to support predictive maintenance.
Q5: Is there an explosion proof option?
A5: Yes. Explosion proof and hazardous area certified versions are available; certifications vary by region and model so please request the appropriate variant.
Q6: What air supply pressure is required?
A6: Typical operating air supply is 1.4 to 6.0 bar (20 to 87 psi). Exact requirements depend on actuator size and system configuration.
Q7: How do I select the correct model for my valve?
A7: Selection depends on actuator type, control signal, environmental rating, and desired communication protocol. Provide actuator torque, travel, and environmental conditions to the supplier for a recommended configuration.
