control sections in the valve island to be replaced during normal operation. This means production can continue uninterrupted, even if a maintenance issue arises.”
SIMPLIFIED INSTALLATION Multiple Type 8652 units could have been daisy-chained together using one gateway to connect directly to the Rockwell PLC. However, in this case, it was a personal preference to install three, hard-wired connections to the valve islands; even with this option, there was still a considerable saving in the amount of wiring that needed to be installed for this project, compared to the original concept using electrical solenoid valves. Interfacing with the PLC was a very
simple process, the EDS file is available from Bürkert’s website and the commissioning software is provided free- of-charge. Khalid Aziz, project manager, at
Marstons, concluded: “The technical assistance we have received from Bürkert has had a very significant impact on this project. The increased functionality means that we can reduce the amount of

cooling and have greater control over the whole process. We have also made some very significant savings in terms of installation time and overall plant running costs.” Once this project was installed, commissioned and fully operational, Marstons
continued with a further part of the expansion plan that required another valve island and 20 more Type 2000 valves, all of which were ordered from Bürkert. These were installed as part of the project to provide new chilled storage tanks and offered the same simplicity of installation and connectivity. For those looking to update existing systems or introduce new control technology,
the Bürkert solution can reduce installation and commissioning times as well minimise operating costs and downtime.
