Bürkert Fluid Control Systems
Valve positioners with an industrial Ethernet interface
This company has introduced new positioners and controllers of the Type 8692/8693 + 8792/8793 product line (photo). The new positioners and controllers support EtherNet/IP, Profinet and Modbus communication protocols. The protocols enable extensive diagnostics functions, including monitoring, limit value definition of operating parameters and messages in accordance with Namur NE107. The integrated two-port switch allows for star, line and ring topologies and, facilitates failsafe communication right up to the valve. All integrated devices can be parameterized and configured using Communicator, the standard software tool. The new positioners have been optimized for combination with this company’s process-control systems and also enable an array of combinations with all control valve types, including those from third-party manufacturers.
