An electronic valve controller for an open-loop and closed-loop control of a valve island includes four or eight valve disks having pneumatic valves configured to perform a motion task. Applications for the open-loop and closed-loop control of the valve island can be loaded onto the electronic valve controller. The invention further relates to a valve assembly, which is controlled in an open-loop and closed-loop manner by an electronic valve controller, to a corresponding method, and to a system.

Application-based control of pneumatic valve assemblies

An electronic execution unit controls and regulates a pneumatic valve assembly for a pneumatic movement. An application for controlling and regulating a valve assembly is or can be loaded so that it can be carried out on the electronic execution unit to carry out the pneumatic movement on the pneumatic valve assembly. An electronic valve controller for the open-loop control and closed-loop control of a valve assembly has at least one pneumatic valve for a pneumatic movement task.

Application-based control of a valve disk

A control device for a process valve unit which includes a valve drive and a valve fitting, wherein the control device has a control unit which is configured to receive a control signal from a superordinate control via a communication interface which is provided in the field level, and to control the valve drive in accordance with the control signal, wherein the control device further has a local bus interface and the control unit is constructed to communicate with one or more devices of the field level via the local bus interface.
