Alfa Laval ThinkTop V55 diaphragm valve control unit

Alfa Laval has released the ThinkTop V55 diaphragm valve sensing and control unit with a durable, tamper-proof and maintenance-free design and built-in self-diagnostics.

Designed for Alfa Laval diaphragm valves, the slim profile of the ThinkTop V55 is designed to optimise space utilisation, making integration into new or existing installations easier. It also provides a 360° LED visual status indication, making the valve position clearly visible from the factory floor.

Real-time diaphragm valve monitoring is provided through digital, ASI 3.0, or IO-Link interfaces, for accurate valve position readings. Its point-to-point IO-Link communication protocol integrates sensors and actuators into any automation system, regardless of fieldbus. This integration makes it easier to capture, store, analyse, and act upon meaningful real-time data thereby supporting Industry 4.0 initiatives, and streamline configurability and process control.
