Integration with Distributed Control Systems
Modular Process Controllers are engineered to support complex, continuous, and batch processing applications. Their modular architecture empowers plant operators to customize control systems using a range of controller modules, communication interfaces, and power configurations. This provides unmatched scalability, flexibility, and ease of maintenance, whether for new installations or system upgrades.
At Relevant Solutions, we partner with top-tier brands such as Honeywell, to provide high-performance modular process controllers with proven reliability and global support. Honeywell’s Experion PKS and ControlEdge platforms, for example, deliver high-speed data processing, advanced PID loop control, alarm management, and seamless integration into Experion-based distributed control architectures.
These modular solutions lead the industry in adaptability. As operational demands evolve, it is easy to expand capacities by adding modules without the need to rebuild your entire control strategy. This reduces engineering costs, accelerates deployment, and improves system uptime. In addition, all supported systems integrate via industry-standard protocols like Modbus, Ethernet/IP, OPC-UA, and Profibus, enabling seamless connectivity with SCADA, DCS, and enterprise automation platforms.
Applications of Modular Process Controllers
Metals Heat Treating
Modular controllers combine the modularity of automation platforms with precise PID control across multiple temperature zones. Built-in features such as autotuning, setpoint control, and process visualization enhance efficiency and ease of use in metal forming applications.
Pharmaceutical Production
Compliance with FDA regulations and GMP standards requires high-accuracy, repeatable control. Modular systems provide full batch control, recipe handling, and data traceability for validation and auditing. Integrated alarms and cleanroom interfaces ensure uninterrupted production.
Chemical Manufacturing
Controllers manage multi-variable control loops, temperature profiles, and reaction sequences. Their modular design supports complex chemical reactions and heat exchanger systems. Centralized control and integrated safety systems improve both yield and operator safety.
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Modular controllers regulate pump operation, valve control, pH balancing, and sludge processing. These systems can scale with plant expansion and provide real-time reporting on water quality metrics to meet EPA and local compliance standards.
Food & Beverage Processing
Applications include fermentation, temperature control, blending, and packaging. Modular controllers support clean-in-place (CIP) and sterilize-in-place (SIP) processes, maintain traceability, and ensure HACCP compliance through integrated monitoring and data logging features.
Oil & Gas Processing
Modular process controllers are widely used in midstream and downstream operations where real-time control over pressure, flow, and chemical dosing is required. Their scalable architecture supports pipeline automation, compressor control, and refinery unit coordination while ensuring compliance with environmental and safety standards.
