Bifold, whose North American headquarters are located in Houston, Texas, have developed the new Pneumatic Intelligent Controller (PICØ). The PICØ will be available with one control logic head which is then amplified by the Bifold filter booster range from ¼” up to 2”. The patented Bifold filter booster technology allows an equivalent flow rate of larger systems to be achieved by the PICØ.
This flow is achieved by moving all the pressure regulation and valve control logic away from the flow line, at the same time as combining the filter into the booster itself. This final step results in the maximum possible differential pressure across a single element, maximising flow. The PICØ can be used on on/off and ESD actuators because of its zero leak capability combined with proportional control and high flow. The controller features HART®, Modbus® and Bluetooth® comms as well as fully configurable control logic.
