A control assembly that is configured to operate large, heavy duty flow controls. The control assembly may include a main support and a thin plate disposed on the main support, the thin plate having four sides forming a mounting surface, the thin plate also having lateral slots that extend lengthwise in a first direction between two of the sides and are arranged so adjacent lateral slots are spaced apart from one another in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

A hydraulic valve body, comprising two main lines for bringing pressurized hydraulic fluid into the body's channel system and further out of the channel system. The body further comprises at least two outlet fittings for conducting hydraulic fluid from the body's channel system to actuators and two respective inlet fittings for conducting hydraulic fluid from the actuators back into the channel system.

A safety module for an automation system includes a communication interface designed for a signal-transmitting connection to a communication system, an output interface designed for a signal-transmitting connection to at least one user which can be fitted downstream and a processing device connected to the communication interface and the output interface and designed to process communication signals from the communication interface and to provide output signals to the output interface wherein the processing device is designed for a detection of an actual component behaviour, using a control command contained in a communication signal and a component measured value contained in a communication signal, and for a comparison of a presettable component behaviour to the actual component behaviour as well as for a provision of a safety-oriented output signal to the output interface at a presettable divergence between the presettable component behaviour and the actual component behaviour.

A hydraulic valve assembly for a work vehicle includes a fan and brake function module. A first pump supplies hydraulic pressure to a fan circuit and to first and second service brake circuits of the vehicle. A second pump supplies hydraulic pressure to a steering and work function module that in turn supplies hydraulic pressure to a steering circuit and a work function circuit of the vehicle. The hydraulic valve assembly may also include a work control module and an auxiliary module. The modules of the hydraulic valve assembly are separably connected together via interface surfaces.

A pneumatic control valve manifold assembly including a modular manifold segment with first and second valve receiving bores, inlet and exhaust cavities, and fluid passageways. The modular manifold segment has a mating face and a back-side face. The fluid passageways are arranged in fluid communication with the first and second valve receiving bores, are open to the modular manifold segment mating face, and have multiple configurations. The modular manifold segment mating face includes an abutment surface surrounding the fluid passageways that has a plurality of shapes depending upon the configuration of the fluid passageways. The modular manifold segment back-side face includes a plurality of sealing ribs arranged in a pattern that universally mates with each of the different shapes of the abutment surface such that multiple modular manifold segments with different fluid passageways can be stacked next to each other.

A Hydraulic Manifold Control Assembly for use in connection with surface blowout preventers and diverter control systems. Said Hydraulic Manifold Control Assembly incorporates design elements and methods which reduce overall envelope dimensions, improving maintenance accessibility, thereby reducing overall installation and manufacturing time and ultimately contributing to a more robust, cost effective end-product. Said design elements and methods include: the use of intrinsically safe I/O modules and components; the employment of a removable valve assembly rack installation method; the use of a removable face plate for identification of flow control valves; the implementation of a digital automatic diverter sequence; the use of integrated manifold assemblies; and the integration of a wide-range function count.

An electropneumatic positioner for a pneumatic actuator to operate a control device of a processing plant can include two modular pneumatic slots and a pneumatic control output. The two modular pneumatic slots can engage with a respective modular pneumatic component. The two pneumatic slots and the pneumatic components can be modularly matched to one another such that their respective pneumatic interfaces merge into one another when a pneumatic slot is engaged. The pneumatic control output can output a pneumatic control pressure signal to the pneumatic actuator. The two modular pneumatic slots and the pneumatic control output can form a pneumatic series connection.

An example valve section includes: a housing having: (i) a longitudinal bore, (ii) a first and second workport passages configured to be fluidly coupled to an actuator, (iii) a first and second return passages, (iv) an open-center passage configured to be fluidly coupled to a source of fluid, and (v) a supply passage disposed between the first and second workport passages. The valve section also includes a spool movable in the longitudinal bore to shift between: (i) a neutral position that allows the open-center passage to permit fluid flow therethrough, and (ii) a shifted position that allows fluid to be diverted from the open-center passage to the supply passage, and connects the supply passage to either the first or second workport passage while connecting the other workport passage to a corresponding return passage of the first and second return passages.
