Sanitary position and control monitors

Valve network solutions Wireless valve monitors

Westlock and Biffi switch boxes and valve monitors provide accurate position indication for rotary and linear valves. Certified for both weatherproof and hazardous area applications a variety of aluminum, stainless steel and engineered resin switch boxes are available with a range of switches and sensors.

The Westlock Pharma II provides position and control monitoring for rotary and linear sanitary diaphragm valves with network connectivity via DeviceNet™ and AS-Interface® protocols. Compatible with all major valve manufacturers' products, they are certified either Non-incentive or Explosion proof.

Westlock Network Control Monitors use embedded control systems to automate valves and link field I/O to the host PLC or DCS. The network monitors communicate with a PLC, DCS or host computer via a gateway interface or scanner card having specific compatibility with the primary control network. Protocols supported include ASi®, DeviceNet™, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™, PROFIBUS DP and ModBus®.

The specially designed wireless valve position monitoring system from Westlock works with both manual and automated on/off valves and smoothly integrates with wider plant control systems. It provides real-time information about a valve’s status directly into the control process, reducing failure and risk whilst increasing safety and yield.

The range of Quantum valve control monitors combines the capability of valve monitoring and control of automation process valves with position sensors and solenoid coils integrated within housing. The single unit low power energy solenoid valves and enclosure are certified for weatherproof and hazardous locations.

Providing modulating valve position control the Westlock range of valve positioners offers pneumatic, analogue and digital units to deliver reliable and effective control for both rotary and linear action valves including a smart digital positioner compatible with HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and PROFIBUS PA.
