Bürkert offers a wide range of smart process valves and safety control valves that solve problems, reduce energy usage and increase productivity. Many automated processes use pneumatic valve islands, connected to PLCs, to maintain the production process and any safety related circuits are separate from the valve island.
Fortunately, in many cases the new standards can be achieved without massive alterations to the existing control infrastructure – a simple retro-fit can improve the safety levels and achieve compliance. Plant managers can upgrade existing control structures to PLc or SIL1 with a compact solution and minimal changes to the circuit.
