Abstract

A valve control module includes a controller storing a real time operating system for controlling operation of the valve control module, at least one command signal input connector in circuit communication with the controller and connectable with an external device for receiving command signal pulses from the external device, at least one driver circuit in circuit communication with the controller and connectable with a pilot valve of a valve assembly for transmitting to the pilot valve actuation signal pulses generated by the controller, and at least one digital input connector in circuit communication with the controller and connectable with a position sensor of the valve assembly for receiving stroke signal pulses from the position sensor and communicating the stroke signal pulses to the controller.
