Abstract
One implementation is a device for determining the position of a valve. The device uses a current profile including at least the magnitude of current, and an analysis module for using the current profile and the state of the valve to perform at least one action.
Claims7
One or more hardware-based non-transitory memory devices storing computer-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors disposed in a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- change a position of a valve using a driver having a mechanical connection to the valve;
- detect a magnitude of a current associated with the driver using a current sensor electrically connected to the driver;
- detect a state of the valve using a position switch associated with the valve;
- and
- perform at least one action with an analysis module that uses at least the magnitude of the current and the state of the valve.
