Sensing and control

ThinkTop V50 are interchangeable with prior ThinkTop versions, and the appropriate variant is selected based on the number of solenoid valves. With only one sensor target and included adapter, ThinkTop V50 are easily retrofittable to existing Alfa Laval valves.

Working Principle

The control unit offers a single sensor solution for diaphragm, butterfly, single-seat valves and it can be fitted with 0 or 1 solenoid valves. ThinkTop converts the electrical PLC output signals into mechanical energy to energise, or de-energise, the air-operated valve, using the physical sensor target mounted on the valve stem.

Installation with Auto Setup or Live Setup is intuitive and fast.
To initiate Auto Setup, simply press the “SELECT” button and then the “ENTER” button to begin the setup sequence. The ThinkTop automatically recognizes the type of valve and completes the programming sequence fast and efficiently.

Alternatively, the ThinkTop can be set up, without dismantling the control head, using the built-in Live Setup feature for remote-configuration.
