Wireless certification Wireless Positioner.

Flowserve’s PMV D3 for modulation control and valve monitoring is certified to ISA100 Wireless™ specification, offering customers reduced operating costs

Flowserve has successfully achieved ISA100 Wireless™ certification for its PMV D3 Wireless Positioner.

The PMV D3 improves operational efficiency by allowing communication to and monitoring of process control/sensor equipment, wherever they are sited, but especially for remotely located valves. It increases the scope of operational awareness in the control room and in the plant when using ISA100 Wireless, which is currently unique in enabling true real-time control. Furthermore, this industry-leading technology reduces the installation and maintenance cost typical of extensive and expensive wiring and marshalling cabinets, while also eliminating operational risks resulting from damaged/ageing wires and corroding connectors.

The unit is the first valve positioner on the market to use the IEC 62734 industrial wireless standard for modulating control and monitoring of valves. This industry-leading technology uses the ISA100 Wireless™ network protocol, enhancing safety via reliability and including features such as dual backbone routers, which provide redundant radio paths, and through user-configurable device behaviors. Independently powered wireless signals protect against loss of signal or power from the plant.

The ISA100 Wireless™ certification provides assurance that the devices will interoperate in any ISA100 Wireless™ compliant network. View the ISA100 Wireless™ certification here.

ISA100 Wireless™ is the only industrial wireless protocol standard to incorporate IPv6 directly as part of its network layer and transport layer. This gives ISA100 Wireless™ the advantage of seamless end-to end routing with “anything anywhere” effectively in a single environment.

“This certification demonstrates Flowserve’s continuing commitment to responding to customers’ concerns,” commented John Lenander, President of Flowserve Flow Control Operations. “The ISA100 Wireless™ technology enables us to deliver best-in-class solutions that address the customers’ need for managing valves remotely in real time.”

“Flowserve is an industry leader in flow control management, solutions and services,” remarked Andre Ristaino, Managing Director of ISA100 WCI. “The announcement of the ISA100 Wireless™ valve control device is an industry first.”
