Emerson sells 1.5M digital valve controllers

Innovative digital communication and diagnostic capabilities of Fisher® FIELDVUE™ instruments help operators improve plant performance

Aggregate sales of Emerson Process Management’s Fisher FIELDVUE digital valve controller continues to grow as it crossed the 1.5M mark. Introduced in 1994, the FIELDVUE product line has been known for its innovative digital communication and diagnostic capabilities.

 
FIELDVUE digital valve controllers are highly suited to a wide variety of industries and applications where they provide reliable, unmatched valve operation. “FIELDVUE instruments have become the industry standard and have made Emerson the market leader in the digital control of valve operation, diagnostics and predictive maintenance”, said Bruce Grumstrup, Emerson’s vice president for FIELDVUE and positioning instruments.

 
“Today, the capabilities of the FIELDVUE family of instruments have become extremely diverse, including nuclear-certified, natural gas approved, remote mount and safety-instrumented systems”, said Grumstrup. The latest generation of the FIELDVUE instrument line, the DVC6200 Series digital valve controller, features linkage-less, non-contact feedback technology that greatly extends the system’s operating life by withstanding high levels of vibration, corrosion or material entrapment. Benefits include the availability of equipment alerts that notify pending issues, automated configuration, calibration and tuning, and access to advanced levels of valve assembly diagnostics.
 
The DVC6200 series is offered with ATEX, CSA, IECEx and FM hazardous area approvals as well as other certifications and approvals.
