Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The ILB24-series by Val Controls offers a reliable solution for monitoring and shutting down pipelines during emergencies. It continuously monitors pipeline pressure and initiates shutdowns if abnormal pressure is detected. Key features include high and low-pressure monitoring, rate of drop and rise detection, differential pressure monitoring, and extensive logging capabilities.

Model Comparison
The ILB24 series includes models ILB24-A, ILB24-AF, and ILB24-AFL, all offering comprehensive pipeline monitoring, logging, and control features. Differences lie in enclosure types and local control options, with the ILB24-AFL providing a local control panel.

System Philosophy
The ILB24 operates through two main control methods: Line Breaker Control, which manages shutdown valves, and Valve Control, which handles all functions with control room connectivity.

Compatibility
Designed for diverse environments, the ILB24 supports various valve systems and communication protocols like Modbus RTU. It is compatible with hazardous and non-hazardous areas, offering Ex d enclosures and approvals such as ATEX and IECEx.

Pipeline Monitoring Features
The ILB24 provides 24/7 pressure monitoring with specific sensors for upstream, downstream, and valve positions. It triggers alarms based on set thresholds for pressure changes, enabling automatic shutdowns if necessary.

Data and Logging
With internal storage capable of holding up to 10 years of data, the ILB24 employs a circular buffer for efficient logging. Data can be extracted locally or remotely.

Local Control Options
Local control is available across all models, with options varying by enclosure type. The ILB24-A features a local display, while the ILB24-AF and ILB24-AFL utilize MTControl for hazardous areas.

Remote Control & Monitoring
The ILB24 integrates with major DCS/AMS systems via Modbus, allowing for comprehensive remote monitoring and control.

Collaboration and Expertise
Val Controls offers extensive global support and expertise in valve automation, providing eco-friendly and cost-efficient solutions for optimizing valve systems.

Brochure Intelligent Line Breaker The ILB24 monitors the pressure in pipeline 24/7. The results can be read directly on the unit or from remote. Below we have provided a description of each monitoring feature along with a sample from ValConnect. Each pipeline monitoring feature requires specific sensors to be placed at various points in the valve system. The list below shows the sensors needed at the upstream pipeline, downstream pipeline, and valve position.

Brochure Intelligent Line Breaker Major and minor alarms When configuring the ILB24 a minor and a major pressure threshold are set. If the minor pressure threshold is reached an alarm is displayed on the ILB24 and a message can be sent to the control room. A minor alarm will not trigger any automatic action and it is up to the operator for any onwards actions. If a major pressure limit is reached the ILB24 can be configured to do an automatic shutdown of the pipeline. It is also possible to only display a major alarm message and not do any automatic actions. Image: ILB24 minor or major events...

The rate of drop is used to determine if a pipeline rupture has occurred. If the pressure drops at a preset rate (measured in bars per minute), a major or minor alarm is triggered, and an automatic shutdown of the pipeline can be conducted. Image: ValConnect interface - Rate of drop - RoD The rate of rise indicates a sudden increase in pipeline pressure. If the preset major and minor thresholds are Differential pressure The differential pressure shows the difference between the upstream and downstream pressure in the pipeline on each side of the valve. A pressure transmitter is placed to monitor...
