BERNARD CONTROLS’ declutch-f ree handwheel is
a patented manual override system. The dif ferent ial gear
drive allows the handwheel to be operated w ithout releasing
a clutch beforehand.
The handwheel can therefore be operated under
all condit ions, even when a high torque is applied
to the valve (i.e. wedge gate valve closed t ight).
Elect ric command has priority over manual override.

Fieldbus is advantageous because it allows get t ing more informat ion while reducing

standard ieldbus available on the market (Proibus DP, Foundat ion ieldbus, Modbus RTU…).
In order to ease the command and control of large quant it ies of MOVs, BERNARD CONTROLS
has developed a turnkey ieldbus communicat ion solut ion – the Master Stat ion – which
offers 3 key advantages to end users:

On the other hand, security is crit ical for complex
processes. Most ieldbus systems clearly of fer a
good level of reliability , especially w ith PLC
technology and redundant communicat ion systems.
However, when an actuator has to be removed from the
ield, for instance for maintenance operat ions, that breaks
up the cont inuity of the line and the whole installat ion
is af fected since the signal cannot circulate anymore.
BERNARD CONTROLS proposes a special device
to deal w ith such issue and ensure bus cont inuity.
Our actuators can host a special Proibus connect ion
board, located in the cover of the w iring compartment .
This cover can simply be removed from the actuator and
closed t ight by a special type plate, ensuring cont inuity
of signal throughout the line.
Moreover, BERNARD CONTROLS explosion proof
actuators and Master Stat ion can include a lightning
protect ion which acts as a shield and discharges
overvoltage to avoid any damage in case of lightning
st roke on the line. Voltage goes back to standard level
and valves' automat ion can resume.

extract ionSOLUTIONS FOR
W hen it comes to fossi l fuel ext ract ion , flow cont rol is crucia l in order to maximize the fi na l quant i ty
produced. That is the reason why each site requires high performance cont rol technologies and heavy
duty devices so as to ensure sa fe and efficient ext r act ion of oi l or gas. BERNARD CONTROLS has kept the se
requirements in mind when designing i ts solu t ions f or Oi l & Gas wells and pla teforms.
Because ext ract ion means managing
various types of lows, modulat ing
actuators are frequent ly used at this
stage. Durability and accuracy are
amongst the most important criteria
to consider for a modulat ing actuator.
Depending on operat ion frequency
and accuracy of posit ioning, BERNARD
CONTROLS has deined 3 modulat ing
classes, Class III (posit ioning),
Class II (precision posit ioning)
or Class I (fast posit ioning) –
which have deeply inspired the
European elect ric actuator standard
EN 15714-2.
We offer actuators in each type
of class, addressing all your needs
up to high duty fast and precise
modulat ing valve automat ion.
More informat ion about modulat ing
classes in our User’s Guide (A104).

Depending on operat ion type, select ion of the actuator’s
motor proves to be a key step to ensure the reliabilit y of
the device. In order to secure good achievement
of modulat ing operat ions, the actuator’s motor must stand
up repet it ive start s under load w ithout overheat ing.
BERNARD CONTROLS proposes a w ide range of motors
featuring the S4 duty rat ing according to IEC34 standard.

environmental condit ions such as desert sand blast , cold (dow n to -50°C),

transportSOLUTIONS FOR
France, Gas network compression unit .
Security is crit ical at all stages of the oil or ga s product ion cycle. However, t ransport requires spe ci fic at tent ion as it
implies kilometers of pipelines going across fields, deserts, seas… unt il these reach storage or distri but ion facilit ies.
It is thus not always easy to quickly detect, evalu ate and solve a problem when it happens in a remote or hardly
accessible area. BERNARD CONTROLS commits to provid ing intelligent actuat ion solut ions enhancing the s ecurity
level of your site, while remaining user friendly.
In order to isolate large valves i t ted on pipes, high start ing
torques are required. BERNARD CONTROLS’ asynchronous
motors used for Explosion proof series have high rat io
between start ing torque and nominal torque. With this design,
actuators can not only ensure unseat t ing of valves w hich
are seldom operated but also stand repet it ive starts.

BERNARD CONTROLS INTELLI+ is a turn-key solut ion which
eases the commissioning, monitoring and maintenance of
an installat ion. It allows access to key informat ion through
a user friendly and intuit ive interface.
Moreover, the user can monitor precisely and cont inuously
the status of his valves thanks to INTELLI+ smart features:
• Absolute sensors constant ly measure the posit ion &
torque of the valve and do not require any bat tery back
up to give the right values after loss of power supply,
• Cont inuous performance monitoring and up to 17
dif ferent types of faults and alarms,
• Signaling bat tery back-up (on opt ion) allows to use
the INTELLI+ display, update remote signaling and refresh
ieldbus informat ion in case of loss of power supply,
• Part ial st roking to check the availability of a connected
MOV which does not operate frequent ly…
If the user wants to get this informat ion remotely,
BERNARD CONTROLS offers ieldbus solut ions designed
for opt imal communicat ion w ith INTELLI+ actuators.
Our Master Stat ion is part icularly advised for such
applicat ion (see page 14).

processSOLUTIONS FOR
Relying on decades of exper ience working on Oi l & G as projects, BERNARD CONTROLS
has developed solu t ions for the most demanding appl ica t ions, including a ll process
applica t ions – ref ining, recompression, liquefact io n, regasi f ica t ion…
Because ensuring cont inuous operat ion is important
to manage a smooth dist ribut ion low, preventat ive
maintenance is a key issue for site engineers.
BERNARD CONTROLS INTELLI+ helps the user w ith system
diagnosis and aid in scheduling valves preventat ive
maintenance by providing w ith a great deal of informat ion:
• Actuator act ivit y (number of start s, running t ime,
handwheel act ion…),
• Self-monitoring (posit ion & torque sensors, performance,
motor…),
• Torque monitoring & valve torque curve…
INTELLI+ thus helps maximizing process availabilit y
by reducing process downt ime.
On the other hand, for an easy site management , in case
of ieldbus communicat ion, BERNARD CONTROLS special
Proibus connect ion board enables bus cont inuity if an
actuator has to be removed from the ield for maintenance
or repair (see page 15).
