Benefits of wireless link

  • Improve safety by easily controlling hard-to-reach automated valves without putting plant personnel at risk.
  • Look up factory preset module code and serial number remotely.
  • Electronically enter and store key automated valve system information including user tag and maintenance log.
  • Reduce network commissioning time by accessing the VCT address to make changes.
  • Reduce maintenance time by monitoring valve cycle count, cycle times, storing  maintenance logs, and accessing multiple valves from one location.
  • Conveniently retrieve installation manuals for additional technical information when connected to internet.

Features

Ease of assembly and use, lower construction costs, and improve safety
Lower your construction costs and shorten installation time by interconnecting your automated valves using a Stonel platform and a protocol system. And now when you add the Stonel Wireless Link, you don’t have to remove the cover for trouble-shooting or diagnostics. You can stroke your valve, read the device tag and diagnostics, and set the valve to open or closed… ALL from a safe, convenient location.

Compact size
Stonel products are feature-rich and designed to meet the increasing need for smaller, lighter and more durable products to conform to the needs of moveable process skids and flexible manufacturing. The integral solenoid allows for smaller overall envelope size because there is less tubing and cable. And the input/output (I/O) points reside within the valve control terminal (VCT) so minimal I/O racks are utilized.

Precise monitoring
Stonel Axiom and Prism platforms use solid state continuous sensors with increased reliability and precise position measurement, compared to mechanical or proximity-reed technology. These sensors enable more sophisticated valve diagnostics, leading to reduced maintenance costs over the valve’s life cycle.

Predictive maintenance
Avoid downtime or danger due to valve failure by having easy access to information about critical parameters. Using Wireless Link you can remotely monitor valve function, including sensor temperature and cycle counts. With access to cycle count data, you can perform valve maintenance when it is truly needed and replace parts prior to wearing out.

Improved safety with Stonel Wireless Link
Safely, securely and conveniently access difficult to reach communication and control modules. Using standard iPads or iPhones with the Stonel app, further cost savings may be realized. Security is assured with operational/lockout privileges.

Setup and operation

Devices with the wireless function are commissioned and set up identically to a standard unit. In addition, when powered up with a conventional power source or by the network, it may be accessed by standard Android or iOS devices. The device is accessed with the Bluetooth® protocol using the Stonel Wireless Link application.

Sequence of operation is:

  1. Download the Stonel application onto your device (free of charge)
  2. Start the application in your device
  3. All energized wireless modules in range will come up
  4. Push wink to positively confirm the device you have linked (device LEDs will flash)
  5. Touch the specific ID tag to link with your handheld.

You can then monitor all status and diagnostic information and make necessary information changes to the free form fields at any time. Switch settings, address changes, and solenoid operation may be performed only if network - or power supply - enabled. Other information may also be added to the free form fields.
