FOCUS-1 is developed for the process industry and features a integrated control valve, flowmeter, pressure and temperature sensors combined with extensive computing power in one single device.
DESIGNED FOR HIGHEST ACCURACY
Extensive CFD analyses enables FOCUS-1 to measure and control a medium between the identical face to face dimensions without jeopardizing on performance compared to a conventional control loop.
Traditional installations for control tasks in process plants usually consist of several sensors, a control valve and a DCS with control algorithms. The process operator relies on proper functioning of all these components to ensure process quality.
By combining all these components in one device, FOCUS-1, specifically developed for the process industry, simplifies the installation dramatically and reduces significantly the number of flanges, cables and I/O points. In addition to the above, the commissioning efforts are also heavily simplified, as all the control algorithms are implemented within FOCUS–1.
Internal communication between components reduces the need for complex DCS systems. FOCUS-1 can be used depending on control requirements allowing flexibility and adaptivity in various applications. With 1 device any of the below control options can be selected. By using FOCUS-1 as process controller (2) or system controller (3) the build-in PID-(auto) tuner guarantees simple and accurate process control.
