Discover how Rotork's integrated ethernet actuator offers unprecedented data connectivity, speed, and operational efficiency to enable in-depth data analysis.
Overview
With Rotork’s Integrated Ethernet solution, a data gateway is no longer required, enabling a direct, streamlined connection to Rotork’s intelligent IQ3 Pro actuator. This reduces complexity and increases the volume and speed of data extraction, with transfer rates up to 100 Mbps.
The solution is housed within a robust weatherproof or explosionproof enclosure and supports RJ45 and M12 connection standards. Compatibility extends to industry-standard protocols, with PI certification, GSDML files for PROFINET, and ODVA certification with supporting EDS files for EtherNet/IP.
Data is key to operational excellence and the Ethernet solution accelerates data transfer and enhances the capability for in-depth data analysis. By leveraging the Rotork Intelligent Asset Management (iAM) cloud-based system, operators can unlock powerful insights from their operational data. This enables predictive maintenance, optimised performance, and informed decision-making, driving productivity and reducing downtime.
