Upgrading is a snap. Valve actuators have undergone tremendous changes over the past fifty years. What started out as a "muscle machine", capable only of opening and closing valves in response to a manual switch, has evolved into an intelligent "brain machine" that handles both traditional open/close (block) as well as precise setpoint (modulating) commands, all over a dedicated digital highway.
Upgrading is a snap. Valve actuators have undergone tremendous changes over the past fifty years. What started out as a "muscle machine", capable only of opening and closing valves in response to a manual switch, has evolved into an intelligent "brain machine" that handles both traditional open/close (block) as well as precise setpoint (modulating) commands, all over a dedicated digital highway. Understanding this evolution will help the Customer understand today's systems and their benefits. Controlinc is EIM's revolutionary digital control system, utilizing onboard microprocessors located in every Controlinc equipped actuator, for control and monitoring of multiple valve actuators.
Controlinc 320A utilizes state-of-the-art technology. EIM was the pioneer in using this technology for control of valve actuators. The first model was introduced in 1985 in response to market requirements for Smart valve actuator control via a twisted pair Local Area Network (LAN). Since 1985, many enhancements have been incorporated as technology evolved, more powerful microprocessors, PC board surface mount technology and emerging software technologies, resulting in the most advanced digital valve controller on the market today.
Controlinc allows a single Host system to control hundreds of valves across a single twisted pair of wire. Simple two-wire networking means fast, reliable and economical operation. And since Controlinc can be installed in any EIM Series 2000 electric valve actuator, you can easily upgrade an existing system.
Network Master can improve system performance.
