In today's fast-paced industrial environment, the need for precise and efficient control systems is more critical than ever. Bilz is proud to introduce groundbreaking advancements in our EPN, EPPC, and AIS systems that redefine performance, reliability, and affordability. Our latest innovations leverage state-of-the-art technology to deliver superior control and unprecedented convenience, setting a new standard in the industry.
Revolutionizing Control with Proportional Valves
Our new proportional valve technology marks a significant leap forward in control systems. Previously, linear motors, while effective, were prohibitively expensive and cumbersome. Our current solution—a proportional valve—delivers comparable or superior performance at a fraction of the cost. The new design features a compact cartridge valve that fits seamlessly into existing blocks, replacing the bulky predecessors without sacrificing efficiency.
One of the standout features of our system is the use of separate valves for inflation and deflation, enhancing tunability and control. By employing a PID controller, we achieve precise management of valve pairs for each channel, surpassing the limitations of traditional spring-based systems. This sophisticated control mechanism ensures optimal performance, stability, and responsiveness.
Advanced Communication and Remote Capabilities
Bringing control systems into the modern era, Bilz has developed new software and hardware that facilitate high-performance, web-based operations. Each EPN unit now boasts an individual static IP, enabling rapid, efficient communication and remote connections. This innovation allows for remote troubleshooting and diagnostics, significantly reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Moreover, our systems include a test mode that sets specific steps to fine-tune and establish reaction parameters. This feature, once exclusive to high-end systems, is now available in our more affordable options, making advanced diagnostics and optimization accessible to a broader range of users.
A Tiered Approach: Good, Better, Best
Bilz offers a tiered product line—EPN, EPPC, and AIS—catering to various needs and budgets. Our EPN system provides robust control capabilities, while the EPPC introduces enhanced features for those requiring more advanced functions. The AIS represents the pinnacle of our technology, offering the most comprehensive set of features for demanding applications.
This tiered approach ensures that our customers can select a system that aligns perfectly with their requirements without incurring unnecessary costs. Each system maintains a consistent footprint, allowing for easy upgrades and integration with existing infrastructure.
The Superiority of PID Control
A key aspect of our control systems is the shift from PI (Proportional-Integral) to PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control. While PI control is effective for many applications, PID control offers several significant advantages:
- Reduced Oscillation and Settling Time: The derivative component in PID control helps dampen the system’s response as it approaches the setpoint, reducing overshoot and oscillations. This ensures quicker, more stable performance.
- Enhanced Responsiveness: PID control's predictive capability improves the system's responsiveness to sudden changes, making it ideal for dynamic environments.
- Improved Stability: The derivative term adds stability to the system, particularly in complex or inherently unstable environments.
- Superior Performance: Although PID control is more complex, it provides better overall control, addressing both the magnitude and rate of change of the error.
Diverse and Customizable Solutions
In addition to our core systems, Bilz offers a range of products tailored to specific needs. Our BiAir systems are designed for large, tall structures, while Faebi products are crafted from stainless steel for enhanced durability. We also provide custom solutions, including tables, systems, and steel plates, ensuring that our offerings can meet any unique requirements.
Commitment to Quality and Innovation
At Bilz, we are dedicated to delivering the highest quality products. Our facility and assembly areas are meticulously designed to ensure optimal flow, ventilation, and precision. Rigorous testing and quality control measures guarantee that every product we deliver meets the highest standards of excellence.
In conclusion, Bilz's latest advancements in EPN, EPPC, and AIS systems represent a significant step forward in control technology. By combining cutting-edge proportional valve technology, advanced remote capabilities, and the superior performance of PID control, we are setting a new benchmark in the industry.
