Control valve handbook now available
The new Control Valve Handbook, now available from Fisher Controls and Regulators, is both a primary reference work and a textbook.
The FieldVue Digital Controller revolutionised the automated control valve market when it was introduced in 1993.
It was the first Foundation Fieldbus digitally based equipment specifically for process control valves, replacing valve positioners, transmitters, switches, and controllers.
Today it is the most widely applied valve controller of its kind, applicable to any rotary or sliding stem actuator, using an extensive range of mounting kits.
Associated with this intelligent valve interface is the Fisher-Rosemount ValveLink software, which allows Control room analysis of real time valve status information available across the whole plant, with comparisons to historical valve operating characteristics and performance trend analysis data.
The records available include cycle count and stroke accumulation data, vital for scheduling proper valve packing maintenance.
The resulting improvements in maintenance procedures and reductions in plant operating costs give significant savings and improvements in plant efficiency.
