Key product features

The IDC24 product range from Val Controls is a series of Intelligent Diagnostic Controllers used for partial and fullstroke testing and monitoring of valve systems. It is designed to be very user-friendly for both manufacturers and end-users in daily use.

Intelligent controller for critical valve systems

The IDC24 product range from Val Controls is a series of Intelligent Diagnostic Controllers used for partial and full-stroke testing and monitoring of valve systems. Drawing on decades of experience with valve system testing and monitoring, the IDC24 is the result of this expertise. This gives customers the opportunity to configure the IDC24 to their exact needs. Furthermore, it is designed to be very user-friendly for both manufacturers and end-users in daily use. 

The IDC24 offers the opportunity to perform valve diagnostics and predictive maintenance while the system is in use. By conducting PST on the valve while in operation and comparing the performance data from a reference stroke, the current state of the valve can be determined, and the appropriate maintenance can be scheduled. 

The range is available with models for both offshore and onshore applications and features an ultra-low power design. It comes with Ex and other relevant certificates from 3rd parties and is designed to be used in harsh environments. It is EMC and vibration tested and resistant to high humidity, high and low temperatures, and dusty environments. 

The IDC24 range is compatible with all types of valve systems, including pneumatic and hydraulic applications, spring return, and double-acting actuators, as well as 1oo1, 1oo2, 2oo2, and HIPPS systems. It comes with a variety of communication protocols and is designed for integration into Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), with SIL certification from a 3rd party. 

The Flame and explosion proof enclosure made in stainless steel extra-low carbon with an exceptional resistance corrosion against sulfuric, hydrochloric, acetic, formic, and tartaric acids, as well as against acid sulfates and alkaline chlorides. This makes the controller an ideal solution for hazardous environments and places where safety requirements are high.

The controller is equipped with an extension interface which makes it possible to add extra hardware functionality on customer request.
