Very few environments are as demanding as those on an oil rig. Materials are stressed and corrosion is promoted by water, salt and wind, as well as extreme weather fluctuation. The highly innovative Festo Motion Terminal as well as the state of the art valve terminal VTUG combined with our control cabinets offer reliable and steady solutions for automation of fingerboards under these harsh conditions.
On/off process valves can be automated in different ways using pneumatics. This white paper looks at automation using an individual valve, a valve terminal and a digital valve terminal, and compares the three actuation methods in terms of:
• Required hardware/components and the installation
effort involved
• Investment costs
• Potential for compressed air savings and increased
energy efficiency
• Diagnostic and maintenance options
• Potential for function integration
• Possible applications in safety-related circuits
• Possible applications in potentially explosive areas
