High-precision positioner for industrial valves

ifm’s MVQ positioner is used to move valves to the required position, based on a signal from the control level indicating the degree to which the valve is open in percentages. Based on the MVQ sensor and supple mented by a new control unit, the connected solenoid valve is moved to the required position using supply and exhaust air. It has a self-learning algorithm to continuously monitor, improve and expand the positioner’s performance over time. The positioner comes as a set including the MVQ301 sensor and control unit, a pneumatic solenoid valve, a throttle plate and a Y cable, and can be installed directly on the NAMUR inter face of an actuator. ifm.com

Emerson’s updated technology improves consistency Emerson introduced DeltaV Edge Environment 2.0, the newest version of its edge technology for delivering OT applications and contextualized control data anywhere in the enterprise. The updated DeltaV Edge Environment 2.0 now supports batch data integration to help life sciences, chemical processing and other batch processing industries leverage their critical data in analyt ics applications, AI and machine learning applications, IT enter prise systems and more, whether on-premise or in the cloud. Batch processing operations frequently require data recon ciliation, aggregation and validation, driving a need for seam less data mobility to bring critical data to varied technologies across the enterprise. DeltaV Edge Environment 2.0 bridges

the gap between operational technology control systems and information technology-focused applications with one-way egress of control system data via a secure, read-only replica of contextualized DeltaV distributed control system data. Increased visibility into batch health empowers teams to inter vene earlier to prevent costly, off-specification batches. DeltaV Edge Environment 2.0 can integrate with the control system configuration hierarchy, helping clarify how configura tion changes impact batch execution. OT teams also gain the ability to correlate batch-related alarms and events with other system events to identify root causes of production issues quickly and effectively. emerson.com
