Use of electro pneumatic positioners in motion controllers
Electro mechanical positioning is a major method for motion controllers to position the machinery. However, this method has disadvantages, as it requires a long downtime to cool the systems, thereby affecting the actual capacity of motion controllers. These reasons have led to an increase in the demand for electro pneumatic positioners, as these are more efficient than electro mechanical systems.
“Electro pneumatic positioners use precision valves to control the pressure and move actuators to the required position. There are no mechanical components in electro pneumatic positioners, which get heated. Thus, it does not require downtime like electro mechanical systems. Electro pneumatic positioners are capable of working round the clock, thereby helping the end-users in optimally utilizing resources and improving the operational capabilities of motion controllers,” explains Bharath Kanniappan, a lead automation research analyst at Technavio.
Increase in use of smart positioners
Many end-users have started using smart positioners, as they are more efficient than other positioner types. These positioners are equipped with microprocessors that help them in controlling the motion of actuators and valves. These are also programmable and can configure positioners based on the end-user requirement. These are also more efficient than digital and analog I/O (input and out devices).
“Most of the smart positioners are equipped with valve diagnostic functions that help in understanding the condition of valves and positioners. Also, these positioners are extremely easy to install, hence there is a huge reduction in downtime,” says Bharath.
Diagnostic functions of electro pneumatic positioners
Many vendors are offering diagnostic functions along with their products. End-user industries prefer these diagnostic functions, as these help the user to understand the functioning of positioners, valves, and actuators. These diagnostic systems are also capable of sending the data that can be used to analyze the trends and performance of electro pneumatic positioners. These data can also be used to make changes for these products to function optimally. This is a trend that can be seen among end-user industries and is expected to grow during the forecast period.
