The TZIDC is an electronically configurable positioner with communication capabilities designed for mounting to linear or rotary actuators. Standard performance 4 to 20 mA with HART.
The ABB TZIDC Smart Positioner is engineered specifically to eliminate headaches. Designed as an electronically configurable, digital positioner, the TZIDC delivers pinpoint accuracy and complete reliability for both linear and rotary actuators. By translating control signals into exact mechanical movements, this intelligent device optimizes your control valve systems and keeps your Process applications running at absolute peak performance.
At Everest Automation, we know that buying a positioner is not just about checking a box on a parts list. It is about finding a lasting solution to your most complex flow challenges. The TZIDC series represents a massive leap forward in valve automation technology, giving you the power to maximize efficiency while significantly lowering operating costs.
To maintain a competitive edge, modern Process facilities require instruments that are smart, resilient, and easy to maintain. The ABB TZIDC delivers on all fronts by focusing on high-value operational benefits.
Time is your most valuable resource during a plant shutdown or a new installation. The TZIDC features a revolutionary single button commissioning process. With its fully automatic determination of control parameters and an integrated auto-stroke function, the positioner adapts to the final control element seamlessly. You get a perfectly calibrated valve in a fraction of the time, dramatically reducing manual setup errors and labor hours.
Industrial environments are notoriously harsh. Heavy machinery and constant pipeline flow generate severe vibrations that can destroy standard instruments. The TZIDC sets the industry standard with unmatched shock and vibration immunity, rated at 10g up to 80 Hz. It is built with a gearless sensor activation system and a robust IP67 protection class housing, ensuring reliable operation even in the most demanding environments.
Energy efficiency translates directly to your bottom line. The TZIDC incorporates a highly efficient I/P converter that continuously adjusts the air flow required to pressurize or depressurize the actuator. Once the set point is reached, the internal 3/3 way valve closes into a center position. This minimizes compressed air consumption, significantly lowering your ongoing operational costs.
Safety is non-negotiable. The TZIDC pneumatic system offers crucial protective features designed to handle electrical or air supply failures. The fail-safe function immediately depressurizes the positioner output, allowing the return spring to move the valve to a defined safe position. Alternatively, the fail-freeze function closes the outputs, locking the valve in its current position until power is restored. You choose the exact safety behavior your Process requires.
To satisfy the strict requirements of your engineering team, here are the core metrics that make the ABB TZIDC a world-class solution:

What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-freeze on the TZIDC?
The fail-safe function ensures that if the electrical power fails, the actuator’s return spring forces the valve into a predetermined safe position. The fail-freeze function traps the air pressure in the actuator, holding the valve firmly in its last known position until the system comes back online.
Can I use the same positioner for both linear and rotary actuators?
Yes. The ABB TZIDC features a flexible, modular construction that allows a single positioner model to be mounted on both linear and rotary actuators, simplifying your inventory and standardizing your plant hardware.
Does the TZIDC support digital diagnostics?
Absolutely. Utilizing the HART protocol, Foundation Fieldbus, or Profibus, the positioner provides full access to smart functions. Plant operators can monitor diagnostics, track maintenance schedules, and detect faults remotely before they cause unexpected downtime.
