Abstract:
A smart solenoid control system for controlling flow of fluid in a conduit includes a solenoid, a plurality of fluid sensors, a plurality of solenoid sensors, a display device, a communication module, and a control. Each fluid sensor senses a parameter associated with the fluid in the conduit. Each solenoid sensor senses a parameter associated with the solenoid. The display device is configured to render images. The communication module is configured to transmit received data to a remote station or handheld device. The control is coupled to receive signals from the fluid sensor signals and the solenoid sensors and determines whether the solenoid should be in a first or second position, supplies drive current to the solenoid to cause the solenoid to move to the desired position, selectively commands the display device to render images, and supplies the data to the communication module for transmission.
