• And any others where a low cost, small size Valve

Motor Drive Controller is required.

DESCRIPTION

The West Instruments 6170+ is part of a range of new generation '+' Series Valve Motor Drive Controllers (VMD) that share the same distinctive styling as the '+' Series temperature controllers. The VMD provides continuous on-line open loop tuning providing stable control at all times and features easy, user-friendly set up.

The expanded '+' Series Valve Motor Drive Controller platform includes 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 DIN models that incorporate numerous product specification, communication, display interface and software improvements that surpass competitive VMD offerings in ease of use, delivery and value-per dollar characteristic of the growing '+' Series product family.

By adding more versatile features and user-friendly functionality like digital inputs, an easy-to-use HMI, jumperless and auto-hardware configuration, 24VDC transmitter power supply and MODBUS communication across the range - the new generation West Instruments + Series Valve Motor Drive Controllers transform the complicated into the simple while saving you time (as much as 50% on product set-up), reducing inventory stock and virtually eliminating the likelihood of operator errors.

The + Series Valve Motor Drive Controllers are affordable, well-featured, easy to use and adaptable with performance features that work for you to make Valve Motor Drive control simple
