Iran Gains Self-Sufficiency in Production of Practical Electrical Controllers
“The Control Valve controller belongs to a German company whose products are widely used in the petrochemical, water and wastewater industries, and power plants, and this product is widely used in Iran too,” Ali Bashir Gonbadi, the managing director of the company, told ANA.
"One of the most widely used elements of the German company is practical electrical controllers, which now have to be imported from abroad to Iran, and one of the main motivations that led us to indigenize this product is the sanctions that do not allow this product to be imported to our country,” he added.
Gonbadi underlined that self-sufficiency has been achieved by indigenization of this product in Iran.
An industrial control system (ICS) is an electronic control system and associated instrumentation used for industrial process control. Control systems can range in size from a few modular panel-mounted controllers to large interconnected and interactive distributed control systems (DCSs) with many thousands of field connections. Control systems receive data from remote sensors measuring process variables (PVs), compare the collected data with desired setpoints (SPs), and derive command functions that are used to control a process through the final control elements (FCEs), such as control valves.
Larger systems are usually implemented by supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, or DCSs, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs), though SCADA and PLC systems are scalable down to small systems with few control loops. Such systems are extensively used in industries such as chemical processing, pulp and paper manufacture, power generation, oil and gas processing, and telecommunications.
