Position Switch

on . Posted in Pressure Instrument

A position switch provides a discrete input to the PLC. The position switch is used to confirm the position of a critical component in the process, often a valve.  In processes where valve closure is important, such as during a mixing process, ensuring that the valve is closed is important.

Note that like a pressure switch, a position switch's sole function is to provide a binary TRUE or FALSE into the PLC.
