Emerson Relaunches ASCO™ Series 327C Solenoid Valve with Enhanced Features for Improved Operational Efficiency Emerson is enhancing the ASCO™ Series 327C solenoid valve, featuring new Intrinsically Safe and Manual Reset construction versions. The valve is designed with a direct-acting, high-flow technology that offers superior flow-to-power ratios, making it ideal for high-demand industries such as power plants, refineries, and chemical processing facilities. The ASCO Series 327C offers a balanced poppet construction for high-flow efficiency and is capable of operation in harsh environments, with temperatures ranging from -60 to 90°C. The valve’s unique two-layer dynamic seal technology reduces friction and ensures stiction resistance, providing reliable and consistent performance over its lifecycle. New to the Series 327C are the Intrinsically Safe and Manual Reset versions, providing faster response times and greater reliability. The intrinsically safe model eliminates the need for an electronic booster, enabling more consistent partial stroke testing and faster…

PACSystems Safety Controller enables SIL2 designs with pre-built templates for reliable performance in demanding, safety-critical applications Emerson has announced the new PACSystems™ RX3i CPS400 Safety Controller, designed to enable Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL2) strategies for infrastructure, fire and gas, burner management systems, and other emergency shutdown systems. The PACSystems Safety Controller is a compact, high-performance solution with robust security measures and a scalable architecture with 2,000 available I/O points, ideal for complex projects with evolving requirements. As project automation becomes more sophisticated and data-driven, OEMs and systems integrators need a range of more powerful hardware and software products to ensure compliance with standards and regulations for protecting workers, whether onboard a single piece of equipment or distributed throughout a much larger process. A large 64-megabyte memory capacity and scalable digital architecture enables the PACSystems Safety Controller to support a diverse range of mission-critical applications. Using built-in industrial…

The new PACSystems line features significant performance updates and more options to develop solutions for challenging industrial applications,…

for Longer Bag, Filter Lifespan and Reduced Maintenance In Reverse-Jet Dust Collector Systems Emerson is introducing its newly redesigned ASCO™ Series 353 Pulse Valve, designed to help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users achieve a more effective, efficient and convenient bag cleaning every time. With a higher peak pressure, wider temperature range, patented quick mount clamp connection and overall part simplification, the new series provides longer bag and filter life and lower maintenance. The new valve can be used in a wide range of applications, including concrete processing, grain, agriculture and feed, metalworking (abrasive blasting), food processing, foundries, pharmaceutical, mining, rubber mixing/processing, metal processing, lime industry, cement factories, power plants and steel mills. Without optimum peak pressure, dust collector cleaning becomes inefficient and the consumption of compressed air rises. Because it hits peak pressure quickly, the Series 353 creates a more effective cleaning process. The new design also leads…

without compromising productivity Manufacturers must prevent workplace accidents by guarding against safety risks, but reaching the desired safety level can be challenging as it can add complexity and reduce productivity. Download our white paper that reveals how a unique approach known as zoned safety reduces complexity in the design of redundant pneumatic safety circuits and improves machine productivity. It clarifies the benefits of the concept over the traditional method of pneumatic safety circuit design using dump valves, and lists the advantages for both equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users.
