How it works
The Alfa Laval ThinkTop V40 control unit provides a single-sensor solution for butterfly and single seat valves. Equipped with one solenoid valve, it converts electrical PLC output signals into mechanical energy to energize or de-energize the air-operated valve using the physical sensor target mounted on the valve stem.
Installation with Live Setup is fast and straightforward. Simply activate the manual override on the solenoid valve to initiate the Live Setup sequence. The ThinkTop automatically recognizes the type of valve and completes the programming. Alternatively, setup can be performed remotely from a PLC using the remote Live Setup function – without dismantling the control head.
