2 Design
The housing of the C-TOP+ consists of a plastic base plate and a transparent
plastic cover. The plastic cover (
nents.
The C-TOP+ contains all the components required to actuate pneumatically ope-
rated process valves. These include solenoid valves, proximity switches (referred
to below as sensors) and the device electronics for connecting to a higher-level
system. The base plate has a cable connector for the line feed. The base plate is
provided with an inlet for another cable connector (
The pneumatic connections are attached at an off-set angle of 120 ° to the cable
Fig. 1 7 ).
connector (
There is a round opening in the centre of the base plate and the adapter plate,
through which the rod (stem) of the actuator is inserted into the housing of the
C-TOP+. The integrated sensors are mounted in a slot of the sensor bracket. They
can be moved to the required position during commissioning, in order to set the
switching point.
The C-TOP+ is available in various product versions. Depending on the product
version, it has up to three 3/2-way solenoid valves (NC) and three sensors (
Fig. 2). If necessary, an additional external sensor and an additional external sole-
noid valve can be connected. Depending on the process valve, this permits up to
four process valve positions to be actuated and sensed. Three LEDs indicate the
operating status. A fourth LED (white) indicates whether the operating voltage
supply is connected (

3 Function
With the help of the adapter plate, the C-TOP+ is mounted directly on the actuator
of the process valve, so that the actuator rod reaches into the C-TOP+.
6
The C-TOP+ is pneumatically connected to the actuator of the process valve using
tubing. The connection to a master controller or control console is via two 8-pin
spring clamp terminals inside the C-TOP+.

The master controller generates switching signals to actuate the process valve,
e.g. to open the valve. The integrated valve block of the C-TOP+ then activates the
actuator of the process valve via the working lines A1 to A3, so that the process
valve switches to the required position.
The pneumatic supply to the integrated solenoid valves is provided centrally via
connection 1. The exhaust air is also dissipated centrally via the integrated silencer
(connection 3).
The position of the actuator rod is detected by the sensors inside the C-TOP+. The
sensors, which are mounted in the sensor bracket around the actuator rod, are
actuated contact-free by a magnet attached to the actuator rod. On activation, an
electrical circuit is closed, and a corresponding signal is provided for the electrical
connection.
