HART

Industrial Ethernet

HART makes use of the known 4 – 20 mA standard signal for analogue data transmission. HART communication is modulated as additional signal to the analogue signal. Advantages: The digital HART signal can be transmitted simultaneously to the digital signal. The existing 4 – 20 mA infrastructure is thus also available for digital communication. Consequently, this allows for reading additional parameters and diagnostic data from field devices.

HART is based on the host-field device principle. The optional multidrop HART topology essentially complies with the line structures of fieldbus systems. In most cases, the conventional 4 – 20 mA point-to-point communication is used.

GHE part-turn gearboxes

Part-turn gearboxes

In spite of the high degrees of automation, there are still valves requiring manual operation. This is in particular the case if the respective valves are only rarely operated for opening or closing.

The GHE type range with the housing made of bronze is suitable for operating part-turn valves (butterfly valves and ball valves), as predominantly deployed in shipbuilding.

Modbus TCP

Industrial Ethernet

Modbus TCP is a communication protocol for industrial automation technology based on Ethernet. Modbus TCP corresponds to the direct implementation of the established Modbus protocol (RTU) to a TCP/IP based communication. Existing Modbus applications can thereby easily use a connection-based, secure exchange of process data via an existing Ethernet network.

Contrary to other protocols, Modbus can handle delayed messages which occur often e.g. for modem connections or wireless networks.

This way, Modbus enables reliable control, device monitoring and data recording, even from a distance.

AUMA actuators with AC .2 actuator controls support Modbus TCP, allowing easy and flexible integration into virtually any type of network.

Product

Wall brackets & cable sets

Accessories

The wall bracket (WH) and the cable set for wall bracket (LSW) allow mounting the actuator controls separately from the actuator.

Retrofitting is always possible and is particularly appropriate if actuators are difficult to access, subject to strong vibration or high ambient temperatures at valve level, for example.

The maximum permissible distance is 100 metres.

Combinations with part-turn gearboxes with base and lever

Part-turn gearboxes

Part-turn actuators with base and lever offer consequently an ideal solution if valves like butterfly valves can only be operated using a lever arrangement, due to space constraints.

In case of higher torque requirement, SA multi-turn actuators are combined with a part-turn gearbox with base and lever. The gearboxes are based on GS part-turn gearboxes which are converted by the combination with base and lever. Since this can be fitted retrospectively, benefits in warehousing are obvious.

Product

SA and GST

Multi-turn actuators

If the drive shaft is to be positioned at a certain angle to the output drive shaft, combinations of the SA multi-turn actuators with GST spur gearboxes are used. The output torque can be considerably multiplied.

Product

SEVEN

Multi-turn actuators

The use of a frequency converter specially conceived for the actuator deployment offers many advantages. Besides the variable speed, the insensitivity to voltage and frequency variations, the lack of current increase during motor start-up as well as the valve protection by soft approaching of the end positions should be mentioned.

The rugged design makes these actuators extremely resistant to environmental impacts (standard corrosivity category C5, IP67, double sealed - enclosure protection is also ensured during commissioning) and can be further enhanced as an option.

The SEVEN actuator is available in three electronic variants: ECOTRON, PROFITRON and HiMod.
