Azbil Corporation: New Valve Positioner to Contribute to Safe and Stable Plant OperationTOKYO --(Business Wire)-- Azbil Corporation (TOKYO:6845) has announced that it will launch sale of the sophisticated Smart Valve Positioner 700 Series on March 13. Compared with the company's previous positioners, the 700 Series has improved control valve diagnostics, field operability, and integration with the control system network. The positioners are expected to contribute to the safe and reliable operation of plants and promote efficient maintenance of control valves.
As facilities at recently constructed overseas plants have grown in size
to improve production efficiency, control valves themselves have also
become larger, and their installation locations have become more widely
dispersed. As a result, it has become difficult for users to maintain
the high reliability of their control valves through regular
maintenance. In Japan, there is a need to improve the productivity of
existing plants. To this end, efforts are being made to cut operation
and maintenance costs.
1. Comprehensive control valve diagnostics function
2. Great field operability provided by the LUI
3. Conformance with the latest communication standards The 700 Series starts at 350,000 yen/unit. The goal for sales is 1,000 units in the first fiscal year and 7,000 units in three years, including domestic and foreign sales, a total of 2.5 billion yen. http://www.azbil.com/press/20140312.html Azbil Corporation continues to realize safety, comfort and fulfillment in people's lives and contributes to global environmental preservation through "human-centered automation."
