Integrated Ethernet
Our Integrated Ethernet solution supports EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, and PROFINET industrial communication protocols. A data gateway is no longer required, enabling a direct, streamlined connection to our intelligent IQ3 Pro range actuators.
The option card is located in the actuator's double-sealed body, with only the wiring connection in the terminal compartment.
Connection is established through two RJ45 or M12 connectors located in the terminal block, and network control parameters can be configured via the actuator’s display, Insight 2, or integrated web server.
The IQ3 Pro data logs can be accessed remotely via the webserver, allowing remote data collection and uploading to Rotork’s intelligent Asset Management (iAM) cloud-based system.
Features and Benefits:
- Dual RJ45 or M12 connections to suit site standards
- Chain, Line and Star topologies supported for extensive network design compatibility
- Option card is fully enclosed within the actuator, maintaining watertight and explosionproof enclosure and certifications
- 10/100 Mbps speeds supported
- PI certified with GSDML files (PROFINET)
- ODVA certified with supporting EDS files (EtherNet/IP)
- Internal webserver provides fast access to configuration and internal data log file
- Setup via standard actuator configuration tools, Insight 2 software or integrated webserver
- The Ethernet option card is compatible with existing IQ3 and IQ3 Pro range actuators, an upgrade kit and / or firmware upgrade may be required
