The grey digital positioner you see on most control valves in chemical and power plants
For years the Logix 3800 has been the go-to digital positioner when you need something reliable but not over-the-top expensive. It replaced a lot of old pneumatic positioners and just stayed there. One button tunes it perfectly, the display shows what’s going on, and it holds position tight even with dirty air. Instrument techs like it because setup is quick, diagnostics actually help find sticky valves, and parts are easy to get.
