3 General information

3.1 ThinkTop Basic AS-Interface in general

The ThinkTop Basic AS-Interface is designed to ensure valve control in conjunction with Alfa Laval sanitary valves and it is
compatible with all major PLC systems (Programmable Logic Controller).

The ThinkTop Basic AS-Interface can be equipped with 0-3 solenoid valves. The solenoids are electrically controlled via the
AS-Interface and when activated the compressed air is activating the air actuator. All solenoid valves have build-in manual hold
override function which means that it is possible to manually open and close the actuator and seat lifts.

Visual LED lights are constantly indicating the status of the unit: Valve positions, solenoid energized, setup and local fault
indication etc.

The ThinkTop Basic AS-Interface is characterized by a simple and modular design.

Type: Alfa Laval “No Touch” System. For wire connections: See 5.3 Electrical connection, internal“.

Features
- Easy and simple set-up, using locally pushbottons.
- No manual sensor adjustments at all.
- No sensor "movements" due to vibrations.
- Modular and hygienic design with exchangeabilities.
- Clear LED’s for visual status indication.
- Setup saved at power shutdown.

Sensor System
Unique “No Touch” sensor system without any mechanical sensor adjustments. A magnet (indication pin) is mounted on the
valve stem and the magnetic field (axial) is detected by sensor chips inside the sensor unit. The measuring angle from each
chip is used to locate the current position of the valve stem with an accuracy of ± 0.1mm. Note that the distance to the
indication pin can be 5 mm ± 3 mm.

Feedback signals
The sensor system can be used for 2 feedback signals.

Electrical connection
Direct main cable gland entry (hard wired) PG11 (ø4 - ø10 mm).

Terminals
The terminal row of the sensor board is equipped with screw terminals for both internal as well as external wires. The terminals
are suitable for wires up to 0.75 mm2 (AWG 19).
