As soon as the power supply is connected, actuators with actuator controls can be electrically operated by means of the operation elements of the local controls. Actuators controls are perfectly adapted to the actuator.
The actuator can be completely set locally, without requiring direct connection to the DCS. Only operation commands and feedback signals are exchanged between the distributed control system and the actuator. Motor switching is performed within the device and virtually without delay.
AUMA actuators are available with AM or AC actuator controls.
Actuator controls evaluate the actuator signals and operation commands and switch the motor on and off without delay, using the installed reversing contactors or thyristors.
The actuator controls supply the analysed actuator signals as feedback signals to the next higher level.
The integral local controls allow for local actuator operation.
AM and AC actuator controls can be combined with the SA and SQ actuator type ranges.
This creates a homogeneous picture for the DCS.
