Metso CPO401 Programmable controller

Metso CPO401 Positioner Overview

The Metso (now part of Neles) CPO401 is an electro-pneumatic valve positioner used to control the position of pneumatic actuators in process control applications. It converts an electrical signal into a pneumatic signal to precisely control the valve opening and flow rate.

Product Detailed Description

• Function:

• Receives a current or voltage signal (setpoint) from the control system.

• Compares this electrical signal with the actual position feedback signal from the valve actuator.

• Generates a corresponding pneumatic output signal based on the deviation to drive the actuator to move the valve until the actual position matches the setpoint.

• Achieves precise control of the valve position, thereby controlling process parameters such as fluid flow, pressure, and level.

• Features:

• Robust and durable design suitable for various industrial environments.

• Easy to install and commission.

• Configurable for single-acting or double-acting actuators.

• Various feedback signal types available (e.g., mechanical linkage).

• Optional diagnostic functions for monitoring the performance of the valve and actuator.

• Configurable and diagnosable via HART or other communication protocols (depending on the specific model).
