AC

AC (with display)

AC actuator controls are your perfect solution if the application requires self-adapting control functions, data logging, a configurable interface or if valve and actuator are to be integrated into a Plant Asset Management System due to advanced diagnostic functions.

AC actuator controls are equipped with a parallel interface for free configuration and/or interfaces to fieldbus systems as used within process automation.

The diagnostic functions comprise a time-stamped event report, torque characteristics logging, continuous recording of temperatures and vibration within the actuator and, furthermore, counting the number of starts and motor running times.

Further to the basic functions, AC actuator controls offer a number of options to meet special demands. These include torque bypass to unseat valves if tightly seated or functions for extending operating times to avoid water hammer within pipelines.

With the development of the AC 01.2, particular emphasis was laid on user-friendliness and the ease of integration of actuators into the DCS. The large graphic display is used to perform menu-controlled programming of the actuator controls, optionally using AUMA CDT via wireless Bluetooth connection. For fieldbus connections, AC programming can be performed from the control room.

FQM/FQMEx

Part-turn actuators

With the FQM fail safe unit, AUMA offers innovative and safe actuator solutions for automatic operation of valves in case of emergencies making use of stored mechanical energy.

Constant torque characteristics across the overall torque range.

The spring is not operated during standard operation. As a consequence, actuator sizing can be relatively small.

The end position switches are automatically set during the setting procedure of end positions OPEN and CLOSED and do not require separate adjustment.
