RIPOS / RIVERT Intelligent Position Measurement

Accurate, robust, and weather-proof, these SMART- and HART-compatible, compact transmitters use advanced microprocessor technology which allows parameterization and linearization both onsite and by remote configuration.

Highly functional, seamlessly integrated

Intelligent transmitters for various position and angle measurements

Rittmeyer has developed position and angle transmitters for more than 35 years. There are over 10,000 installations worldwide.
The newest generation of these rugged rotary and angle transmitters are fully backward compatible with the complete product line that Rittmeyer is famous for, thus ensuring comprehensive investment protection.

The universal transmitters cover a wide area of applications, including the measurement of angles, positions, length or velocity of elements such as gates, flaps, valves, drawbridges, sluicegates, travelling and slewing cranes etc.

Two device models

Both RIPOS and RIVERT are available in two versions with a few options. The two versions differ in the number of I/Os and the communication features. All devices feature very accurate measurements in rugged environments.

Rittmeyer’s intelligent position measurement product line:

  • RIPOS Absolute Encoder
  • RIVERT Angle Transmitter

enables us to provide position instrumentation for all water management applications
