HYDRAULIC CONTROL
Hydraulic control comprising at least one hydraulic valve, each hydraulic valve comprising a hydraulic distributor and an electric actuator. The hydraulic distributor comprises a valve slide mounted with the ability to slide in a body comprising hydraulic ports. The electric actuator is fixed to the body of the hydraulic distributor and comprises an electric motor, an electronic circuit comprising a circuit board, a linear-displacement output member coupled to the control slide, reduction gearing comprising gear wheels coupling the motor to the output member, and a housing in which the electric motor, the electronic circuit and the reduction gearing are mounted.
Valve island
A valve island has at least one valve module and an adapter module, wherein the adapter module includes a first data line and a first voltage supply line, which each extend continuously from an interface on a first front side forming an outer side of the adapter module to an interface on a second side of the adapter module pointing into the valve island. In the adapter module a circuit unit is provided, which within the adapter module is connected to the first data line and/or the first voltage supply line and from which within the adapter module an internal data line and/or an internal voltage supply line proceeds or proceed, which each extends or extend to an interface on the second side of the adapter module.
CONFIGURABLE VALVE FOR DISTRIBUTING A FLUID AND METHOD FOR SETTING THIS VALVE
This valve (1) is intended to be mounted on a base for the purpose of controlling the distribution of a fluid, and comprises a housing (2) and a plurality of orifices (0), these orifices (0) being intended for the inflow or the outflow of the fluid inside the housing (2). The valve (1) additionally comprises a plurality of distributors (4) arranged in the housing (2) so as to control the flow of the fluid inside the valve (1), and the valve (1) comprises an electronic card (6) arranged in the housing (2), the electronic card (6) being configured so as to store a truth table (60) associating a predetermined position of the distributors (4) with each control signal received by the valve (1). The electronic card (6) is furthermore configured so as to manage a transition mode of the distributors (4) from one position to another.
System and method for controlling a valve manifold
A valve driver system for driving a plurality of valves of a valve manifold. The system includes a plurality of valve drivers, wherein each valve driver is configured to drive a zone of one or more valves of the manifold; and, a power board that separately powers the respective valve drivers such that the valve drivers are powered separately with a separate power source that can individually power the valve driver. A multiple safety zone valve driver system for driving a plurality of valves of a valve manifold. The system includes a plurality of valve drivers; a first safe PM output; and a second safe PM output. The first and second safe PM outputs are configured such that in response to a first type of safety event the first PM output shuts off power to the first one or more valve drivers and the second PM output maintains power to the second one or more valve drivers.
