Advances in valves deliver improved machine control
Dynamic machine control (DMC) is the design paradigm that uses today’s cutting-edge technologies to help build the smarter machines of tomorrow. DMC for fluid power applications includes major advances in industrial control valve technology, such as embedded controllers, sensor interfaces, software configurability, network communication capabilities, and real-time diagnostics. These features make valves an integral part of the network control and communication system, taking commands, feeding back data and even executing custom control code at the node level. This results in a distributed control and diagnostic system that greatly expands application potential, opening doors for future innovation.
