 ## 1. What this node is
 
-**valve** models a single throttling valve. It loads a supplier characteristic curve (Kv-vs-position), drives an FSM-style move sequence for opening/closing, and recomputes pressure drop across the valve from current flow + Kv. Used standalone or as a child of `valveGroupControl` when grouped.
+**valve** models a single actuated throttling valve at the S88 Equipment Module level. It loads a supplier Kv-vs-position characteristic curve, drives an FSM for open/close move sequences (using `accelerating`/`decelerating` states shared with `rotatingMachine`), and recomputes pressure drop from flow + Kv via a hydraulic model. Used standalone or as a child of `valveGroupControl`.

-The `opening` / `closing` states cover the move-in-progress window; `positionChange` ticks fire until the setpoint is reached, then the FSM lands on `operational`. Pre-shutdown ramp to 0 is enforced by `FlowController.executeSequence('shutdown')`.
+**Key valve-specific behaviours:**
+
+- `accelerating` = position moving up; `decelerating` = position moving down. Both fire `positionChange` ticks. The valve's `stateBindings` hooks these to `updatePosition()` → Kv lookup → deltaP recompute.
+- `warmingup` and `coolingdown` are **protected** — the abort signal is disabled; these phases cannot be interrupted.
+- `cmd.shutdown` from `operational` first ramps the valve to position 0 (via `FlowController.executeSequence('shutdown')`), then transitions `stopping → coolingdown → idle`.
+- `cmd.estop` triggers `emergencystop → off` regardless of current state (except from within protected transitions).
+- Default sequences: `startup` = `[starting, warmingup, operational]`; `boot` = `[idle, starting, warmingup, operational]`; `emergencystop` = `[emergencystop, off]`.

 ## 13. When you would NOT use this node
 
-- Use valve for a **throttling element** with a known Kv curve. For a fixed-restriction orifice with no actuator, model the deltaP externally.
-- Don't use valve to model a non-return / check valve — no position control or curve fitting is exposed.
-- Skip valve when an upstream source provides flow directly and no pressure-drop estimate is needed; just wire the source straight to the parent.
