Patent ID: 8408516

Claim:
A fluid pressure control device, comprising: a control valve; an actuator in contact with the control valve; a fluid pressure control device body having a housing joined with a valve casing and having a face plate that includes an opening configured to receive pressurized fluid, wherein the actuator is arranged inside the housing and the control valve is arranged inside the valve casing; a pressure sensor incorporated into the body relative to the opening and configured to sense fluid pressure and generate an electrical signal indicative of the sensed fluid pressure; and an integrated circuit incorporated into the body, and operatively connected to the pressure sensor, including: a transceiver configured to communicate with an external device, wherein the transceiver transmits the electrical signal indicative of the sensed fluid pressure to the external device and receives a control signal from the external device; and a driver configured to communicate electric current and thereby power the actuator to translate the control valve inside the valve casing in response to the control signal; wherein the pressure sensor and the integrated circuit are contained within the face plate.
