Introduction

Position Transmitter
Device versions with flameproof enclosures may only be operated with a Position Transmitter
with the same type of protection.
In some cases it makes sense to mount the position detection and the controller unit separately.
A separate mounting the case, for example, with continuous and strong vibrations, high or too
low ambient temperatures and nuclear radiation. A universal component is available for this
purpose. It is suitable for part-turn and linear actuators. You will require the following:
One of the following Position Transmitters
● Position Transmitter with article no. 6DR4004-2ES, 3ES or 4ES consisting of:
– Positioner enclosure
– Internal NCS module
– Various blanking plugs and seals
– Position Transmitter (NCS, ILS) 6DR4004-3ES or Position Transmitter (NCS, MLS)
● NCS sensor for non-contacting position detection 6DR4004-6N/-8N
● Potentiometers with 3 kΩ, 5 kΩ or 10 kΩ
● Position sensor with a signal range from 0 to 20 mA
● Position sensor with a signal range from 0 to 10 V
And a positioner
● Positioner in combination with Analog Input Module (AIM) 6DR5..0/1/2/3-0...2/3 or
retrofitted as accessory 6DR4004-6F/-8F
