The Azbil AVP700 Series comprises advanced electro-pneumatic valve positioners designed for precise and reliable control of linear and rotary actuators in industrial control valves. Whether it is the AVP701/AVP702 with HART communication or the AVP703 for FOUNDATION Fieldbus, these positioners provide flexible protocol support, built-in diagnostics, and robust construction to meet demanding requirements in oil & gas, chemical, power, and general process industries.
With features such as automatic calibration, valve signature diagnostics, pressure monitoring, and compatibility with a wide range of actuators and valve types, the AVP700 Series makes valve automation easier, smarter, and more reliable.
| Model | Signal & Comm. Protocol | Input Signal | Supply Air Pressure | Actuator Type | Output Characteristic | Diagnostics | Environmental Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AVP701 | HART, 4-20 mA + feedback | 4–20 mA | 140–700 kPa (1.4–7.0 bar) | Linear or rotary | Linear, Equal %, Quick-open, Custom curve | Yes (pressure, travel, signature) | IP66 / explosion proof optional |
| AVP702 | HART, 4–20 mA (no feedback) | 4–20 mA | 140–700 kPa | Linear or rotary | As above | Basic diagnostics | IP66 / explosion proof optional |
| AVP703 | FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 | Digital Fieldbus | 140–700 kPa | Linear or rotary | Configurable via fieldbus | Full diagnostics via fieldbus | IP66 / explosion proof optional |
General Specs:
Q1: What is the main difference between AVP701, AVP702, and AVP703?
A1: AVP701 and AVP702 both use HART communication, with AVP701 offering feedback (position feedback) support. AVP703 uses FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 digital protocol, suitable for integrated fieldbus networks.
Q2: Can the AVP700 Series support both linear and rotary actuators?
A2: Yes. They support linear actuators per NAMUR/IEC standards and rotary actuators per VDI/VDE mounting standards.
Q3: Does the positioner offer diagnostics and preventive maintenance features?
A3: Yes. Built-in pressure sensors, valve signature analysis, step response testing, and supply/output pressure monitoring support predictive maintenance.
Q4: Is there support for explosion-proof installations?
A4: Yes. Explosion-proof and hazardous area certified variants are available (check certification per region and model).
Q5: What output characteristics can be configured?
A5: The output characteristic can be set to linear, equal percentage, quick opening, or a custom 21-segment curve depending on process requirements.
