NEW VALVE CONTROLLER FROM EMERSON OFFERS EMBEDDED EDGE COMPUTING

The Fisher Fieldvue DVC7K Digital Valve Controller features “Advice at the Device” technology with embedded com puting and analytics that convert raw data into actionable information locally with Bluetooth capability, within the device. This means maintenance personnel can receive the data via their phone, tablet or computer wirelessly without having to be in a control room at the plant loca tion. The new valve controller technology improves the

performance, reliability and uptime of both on-off and control valves — and, by extension, an entire process plant or facility — in a wide variety of process industry applications pro viding the information required to create streamlined work processes. The DVC7K interprets data to create an optimized path to action by combining patented technology, experience-based algorithms and continuous real-time analytics with flexible connectivity and easy inte gration. It uses powerful, real-time and onboard edge computing to analyze issues and create actionable information, providing awareness of valve health by analyzing data locally via its onboard diagnostics. If analysis reveals a problem, an alert is created, which can be viewed locally or remotely, providing the informa tion required to create streamlined work processes that save time and money. All alerts include recom mended actions to fix the problem, a new feature for digital valve control lers and unique to the industry. With increased remote connec tivity and Advice at the Device local diagnostics, flexibility increases, providing the information needed for fast decisions and quick action to address arising issues. The DVC7K can be specified for all new valve purchases, and it can be retrofitted to most existing valve installations, in either case, quickly and easily commissioned via the local user interface. emerson.com
