The PositionMaster EDP300 is an electronically configurable positioner with communication capabilities, designed for mounting on pneumatic linear or part-turn actuators. It features a compact design, modular construction, and an excellent cost-performance ratio. Fully automatic determination of the control parameters and adaptation to the actuator allow for considerable time savings as well as optimum control behavior.
