Smart Valve Controller (SVC)
Pioneers in Hydraulic Positioning Systems

The Digital Valve Loop Controller (DVLC)™ serves as a valve positioner with control loop and alarms, while the Smart Valve Controller (SVC)™, in addition to valve position control, extends its capabilities to include hydraulic power unit and associated equipment control, providing a more comprehensive system solution.

Specialized Control Solutions

The DVLC and SVC are purpose-built control systems that do not rely on PLC-based architectures. We understand that some refineries prefer to avoid additional PLCs as basic process controllers. However, rest assured, we are also a trusted supplier of PLC control systems for those who favor this approach. For more information on our PLC Control Systems, see plc-based-controller.
