FEATURES:

Patented Integration of Actuation, Control & Feedback
The installation, commissioning and maintenance of separate components are no longer required -- since both control and feedback are offered as integrated modules, combined with the actuator.

Compact & Modular Design
Modular construction also ensures flexibility, fast assembly, and quick and easy future upgrades.

Push Button Auto-Initialization
Automatic setting of the position indication switches in a matter of a few seconds at the push of a button.

Expands the Reach of your Bus
Digital communications are available for AS-interface, Profibus DP, Profibus PA and FOUNDATION™ fieldbus.

Intelligent Diagnostics
Provides alerts on actuator/valve condition and makes maintenance easier to schedule.

Intelligent Position Tracking
Accurate and reliable continuous information is provided regarding the valve position for improved process control.

Dual Stroke Adjustment
Provides precise adjustment of both valve end-positions.

Visual Position Indication
Large full scale indication at a glance, which can be turned 90o for in-line and across-line mounting.

Balanced Pinion Design
This design uses seals with low surface pressure, low wear, and ultimately low maintenance in high-cycle applications.

BENEFITS:

Easy
This pre-engineered "Plug-and-Play" solution reduces engineering complexity and time by integrating controls into the actuator. The push-button auto-initialization allows easy and fast set-up.

Flexible
The flexible functions are delivered through modular and scalable design. The splined inserts and the standardized mounting pads allows direct mounting to a wide range of rotary valves and ensures backwards compatibility.

Reliable
The FieldQ is built on proven technology (installed base of over 2 million units) and designed for superior and safe performance over time with more than 1 million open/close cycles of performance.

Intelligent
The microprocessor-based modules have built-in function-specific electronics that use low-power technology. This integrated technology enables bus communication and auto-initialization. On top of this the FOUNDATION™ fieldbus and Profibus-PA modules offer diagnostics alerts.

Cost-effective
Installed cost savings can be achieved by this pre-engineered, integrated solution. The FieldQ reduces cost on engineering (no accessory bracket or coupling required) and procurement (single source of supply). The ease of setting up the FieldQ reduces cost of installation and commissioning. Inventory cost savings can be achieved due to modular, scalable design. Finally, through enhanced operating performance and reliability, life-cycle cost savings can be achieved. The need for maintenance is reduced, and increased plant and process availability are realized.

FLEXIBLE FUNCTIONALITY:

Choose the right functionality for you.

Function Modules
The Actuator and Pneumatic Modules can be supplemented with a variety of Function Modules, which provide the flexibility to select the right functionality for your application and upgrade to digital communications in the future.

Conventional Function Modules
The Conventional FieldQ modules enable users to install the unit into their existing system without making drastic changes. When the plant is later upgraded, the Function Module makes this transition easy. Conventional modules can be upgraded with Smart or Bus modules by simply plugging in the desired module.

Bus Communication
The process industry faces increasingly greater demands for plant safety and process control. This means an increasing need for more and better process information, which in turn drives the need for digital communication protocols. As part of Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture, FieldQ uses FOUNDATION™ fieldbus digital communications to provide enhanced diagnostic information -- something few pneumatic rack-and-pinion actuators can do. This FieldQ version is AMS aware and provides seamless integration into the DeltaV system of Emerson Process Management, making theinformation easy to access and easy to use. FieldQ also supports diagnostics through Profibus PA, as well as on/off control through AS-i.
