Ease of Assembly and Use, Lower Construction Costs, and Improved Safety
StoneL provides solutions that help reduce installation costs through easy setup, faster commissioning, and enhanced valve identification. Bright electronic indication combined with optional remote wireless access provide enhanced risk management and improved safety.
Pharmaceutical and biotech companies are facing increasing competition and need increased efficiency, reduced costs, and agility. StoneL is working with global industry leaders to address those needs.
New technologies and enhanced capabilities: Overcoming new challengesThe increase in product purity and quality standards in your industry, along with increased competition, is spurring investments in new technologies and enhanced capabilities that deliver improved quality and competitive agility.
Reducing cost at your plantCombining StoneL’s Prism or Axiom platforms with a DeviceNet™ or AS-Interface protocol system to interconnect your automated valves will lower your construction costs and install faster than conventional systems. These systems require less space in your process because the input/output (I/O) points reside within the valve communication terminal (VCT) so minimal I/O racks are utilized.
The reduced installation footprint also means less cabling. And because StoneL’s products have a reduced size envelope, maintenance is faster and easier and you don’t have to remove the cover. Now you can stroke your valve, read the device tag and diagnostics, and set the valve to open or closed… ALL from a safe convenient location. That will save you maintenance time!
ValvePoint: Valve communication and control
Linear ApplicationsPrism PI – Intelligent Valve Communication and ControlThe Prism PI integrates an advanced position sensing system and integral pneumatic control for sanitary diaphragms and other linear applications. Its intuitive operation means set up is easy; you won’t need written instructions and can be completed in only seconds. And, if you are utilizing bus-networked communications, you can set the sensors on an iPhone or iPad from a remote location without ever opening the cover. The Prism PI also offers:
- Highly accurate sensor position measurement over a wide temperature range
- Deadband flexibility to eliminate spurious alarms resulting from varying stroke lengths during normal operation
- Consistent position indication using automatic tuning of the open and closed deadband
- Extremely flexible mounting, which can be completed in just minutes
- Minimal space envelope requirements
- Convenient access to conduit and pneumatic connections because the entire assembly can rotate every 45 degrees
- Mounting kits for many actuator brands, allowing flexibility in a variety of valve applications
