720554PACS - Precision Actuator Control SystemClosedGRD Development of PrototypeInnovate UKThis project will develop a prototype Precision Actuator Control System (PACS). PACS is a novel and innovative concept which will enable low cost, safe, compact, accurate and reliable control-automation for industrial valves and actuators. The concept radically simplifies a plethora of connectors, cables, relays, sensors and electronics in to a single electronic circuit board which can be programmed and interrogated by computer, enhancing both functionality and plant safety. PACS will be developed, manufactured and sold by Imtex Controls Ltd. – a UK manufacturer and system integrator of valve and actuator automation systems. Market sectors include oil & gas, petrochemical and process industries where there is an established need for cost-effective, reliable and automatic control of valves and actuators.
