Functional Safety Solutions

Pilot Valves- ASCO 3-way solenoids, 8314, 8316, and 8320 are the most widely used solenoid pilot valves in the world. For your spring return actuator applications, these valves are proven in use and have undergone 3rd party evaluation by Exida per IEC 61508 Parts 1 & 2. All 3 series are certified SIL 3 capable. Individual pilot valves are most commonly used in 1-out-of-1 voting architectures but can be easily piped into a 2-out-of-2 configuration. ASCO pilot valves are used as the primary device for process valve actuation as well as the shutdown valve when used with digital valve controllers for on-off and control valve applications.

Pilot Valve Operating Manual

Manual Reset & Redundant Coil Pilot Valves - ASCO Manual Reset Pilot Valves are a process industry standard. For harsh plant environments where reliability is a must, ASCO has the products to keep your process going. Lever operated manual reset valves are designed with corrosion resistant materials and industrial strength components. When you need to manually engage the final control element of your process system, ASCO has the proven solutions for your applications. Redundant coil pilot valves are also available for your high availability applications.

Redundant Control Systems - The ASCO RCS is a redundant pilot valve system that acts as a single 3-way valve. The added features of this system above an individual valve include the ability to perform automatic online testing of the redundant solenoid valves, automatic partial stroke testing of the process valve, and online maintenance capabilities. This product is built for high reliability applications and functional safety. The redundant solenoids can operate in 1-out-of-1 Hot Standby mode or 2-out-of-2 diagnostic mode. Both modes of operation are certified per IEC 61508 Parts 1 and 2 and are SIL 3 capable. SIL 3 Certified, ATEX Approved
