VDI/VDE is a standard established by the Association of German Engineers (VDI) and the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE).
In industrial valves and actuator manufacturing, VDI/VDE compliance sets the guidelines for the interface between valve actuators and external components such as positioners. It explicitly defines how manufacturers should design the mechanical and electrical connections between actuators and ancillary devices, including mounting dimensions, types of electrical connections, and communication protocols.
This standard aims to ensure compatibility and interoperability between different brands and models. Manufacturers who follow these guidelines make integrating their products into various industrial systems easier, facilitating maintenance, upgrades, and replacements, making the overall industrial processes more efficient and cost-effective.
