Electronic Control Options for Automatic Control Valves Jody Malo Singer Valve
Control Chamber
Restriction Manual Ball Valve Inlet Outlet
Advantages: No power required Ease of use Been used for 80+ years Disadvantages: Need to be set or adjusted locally Difficult if in remote location Generally only one set point on pilot No feed back to control systems (SCADA)
Sill use the basic main valve. We exchange component(s) of the pilot system to allow electronic input into it. In most cases this is a electronic solenoid valve
Usual Types: 2 to 4 way Acting Configurations: Normally Open Configuration Normally Closed Configuration Power Options: AC Power 24 480 VAC DC Power 6 240 VDC
Normally Closed: Energize to open Normally Open: Energize to close Solenoid is just an electromagnet.

1. Local Manual Control 2. Remote Scada Control
3. Local Control Panels Single Process Control Panel Multi Process Control Panel
Process Control is done by using a PROCESS VARIABLE(PV) as feed back to make measurement and correction to a process to match a wanted set point. Examples Flow Control Level Control Position Control Pressure Reducing/ Pressure Sustaining Control
Single Process Control
Step 1: Setting a Single Process Setpoint Step 2: Obtaining a Single Process Variable Flow Meter Pressure Transmitter Option A:Local Setpoint Level Sensor Position Sensor Option B:Remote Setpoint
Step 3: Compare Process Setpoint to Process Variable and Make Adjustments Process Variable Setpoint 4 20 ma Process Variable Signal TOO HIGH!! TOO LOW!! Flow Controlling Rate of Flow
Single Process Control Panels Standardized all-in-one multiple application single process controller that can complement a wide range of hydraulic applications Designed for Control of 2SC-PCO, PT-4SC & PR, RPS, RF- 420DC Control Valves Control Options: Modulating Control: Valve Position Pressure Level Flow 4 20mA Actuator Control: 420DC Pilot Mounted Actuator ON/OFF Control : Large & Slow Processes (e.g. Tank Level Control)
