Badger Meter introduces the SEVA (Smart Electric Valve Actuator), which has been designed to reflect a cost-sensitive solution that has best-in-class features within the electrical actuator market. The SEVA was designed for extreme conditions with military grade components while providing the accuracy and repeatability the market demands.
The SEVA is immediately available with both a 100 and 200 pound max thrust models. These models will have the ability to replace Research Control® valves, historically electric actuator offering of the EVA-1, the EVA-100 and the EVA-200.
The Industrial Ethernet Protocol (Ethernet/IP) was originally developed by Rockwell Automation and is now managed by the Open DeviceNet Vendors Association (ODVA). The SEVA is an ODVA certified product.
The SEVA features an ability to select one of five positions when there is a loss of power (Continue Operations, Full Closed, Full Open, Hold Position or Target Value).
Additionally the selection of one of four positions are available when there is a loss of signal power (Full Closed, Full Open, Hold Position or Target Value). Both the Full Closed and Full Open positions are defined during the setup of the actuator.
Providing intelligent process control parameter is at the core of the SEVA. The SEVA will provide an ability to customize a control solution with alarms, process safety features, performance parameters, simplified setup and a level of overall intelligence.
