GOcontroll Moduline controllers bring programmable pressure control to gas and liquid systems, combining flexibility, speed, and modularity in one robust platform.

Pressure control is vital in many industries, from fluid handling to energy systems. Traditionally, it relied on mechanical regulators, but programmable solutions provide higher accuracy, flexibility, and adaptability. The GOcontroll Moduline family of controllers enables engineers to design customized pressure regulation systems using real-time pressure feedback, solenoid actuation, and fast control loops. Thanks to its modular hardware and software flexibility, the Moduline platform makes it possible to implement programmable pressure control in demanding environments without compromising speed or reliability.

Programmable pressure control replaces fixed mechanical regulation with dynamic, software-driven control. By continuously monitoring sensor data, the controller can precisely regulate valves or pumps. This is crucial in applications like:

• Fuel and hydrogen storage systems
• Pneumatic and hydraulic actuation
• Agricultural fluid management
• Water distribution and drainage systems
• Test benches for R&D where pressure control is manditory

With programmable logic, engineers can easily adjust control strategies, setpoints, and safety limits, all without changing the mechanical setup.

The Moduline controllers are designed for modular expansion with application-specific I/O modules. Pressure sensors can be connected through input modules, while solenoid valves or actuators are controlled via output modules. Key features that make Moduline suitable for pressure control include:

• Fastloop pressure control
• Half bridge support for most valves/pumps
• High frequent input modules for precise measurement
• Communication interfaces for setpoint delegation from other systems

This flexibility means a single platform can be configured for different types of pressure control applications, from lab-scale R&D to heavy-duty field systems.

GOcontroll Moduline controllers run Linux and can be programmed with MATLAB Simulink or Node-RED. Engineers can build control algorithms visually, drag-and-drop sensor blocks, and configure valve actuation strategies without low-level coding.

The Simulink blockset developed by GOcontroll includes dedicated modules for I/O mapping, communication buses, and system monitoring. This enables:

• Implementation of closed-loop pressure control algorithms
• Integration of safety shutoff functions
• Real-time tuning and calibration using HANtune (XCP protocol)

This makes it possible to test and optimize pressure control strategies quickly, shortening development cycles.

Even though the Moduline platform is modular, it supports fast control loops. This is essential for pressure regulation where system response must be immediate to maintain stability. The fastloop principle ensures that measurement, computation, and actuation happen within milliseconds, making the Moduline suitable for high-dynamic applications such as hydrogen systems or pneumatic test benches.

Thanks to its modular architecture, GOcontroll Moduline can be applied across industries:

• Hydrogen energy systems: maintaining H2 delivery pressure with solenoid valves.
• Agriculture: regulating irrigation pressure based on soil and weather sensors.
• Automotive R&D: pressure testing in fuel injection or exhaust systems.
• Industrial automation: managing compressed air networks or fluid mixing processes.

Each application benefits from programmability, scalability, and robust hardware.

Choosing a GOcontroll Moduline controller for programmable pressure control offers:

• Scalability: expand with more I/O modules as systems grow.
• Reliability: IP67-rated enclosure with automotive-grade connectors ensures durability.
• Flexibility: adapt control algorithms without redesigning hardware.
• Integration: seamless connection with cloud monitoring, predictive maintenance, and remote updates.

This makes the Moduline family not only a control device but a future-proof platform for advanced industrial and research applications.
