Valve-position transmitter
supports safety monitoring
The Digital EPIC-2 is an intelligent valve-position transmitter (photo) that offers discrete position control. Its reliable, non-contact position feedback with digital communications via HART 7 protocol and DTM technology. It allows for seamless integration into any control system, says the company. This allows for remote configuration, calibration and diagnostics. Equipped with advanced diagnostic capabilities, this product can be used to perform emergency shutdown monitoring and implement simple partial stroke testing (PST) and solenoid-operated valve testing, helping to preserve the integrity of critical safety systems. Its predictive diagnostics and intelligent alarms can pinpoint the root cause of problems to help users predict necessary valve maintenance ahead of valve valve failure, lowering the total cost of ownership and ensuring effective valve maintenance and operational integrity. — Westock Controls, Saddle Brook, N.J.
