The introduction of the new Rotork IQT electric valve actuator brings the advanced functionality and asset management capabilities of Rotork’s 3rd generation intelligent technology to the direct-drive operation of part-turn valves. Proven in the field by thousands of IQ3 multi-turn actuators, new functionality brought to the compact and robust IQT includes an unrivalled range of advanced data logging and communication capabilities that have been increased in response to the end users’ desire to access more data, both in the field and in the control room.
Diagnostic graphics present a window into the process, showing the valve torque, usage profiles and service logs, facilitating real-time analysis directly at the actuator. The information-rich backlit display is the focus of attention for non-intrusive wireless communication and multi-functional indication, including user-friendly multi-lingual menus for configuration and commissioning. Local position indication, valve and actuator status, asset management and diagnostic operating information is available to download and can be viewed directly at the actuator on the large LCD display. The display provides real-time status data, positional and warning icon information, visible at temperatures between +70ºC & -50ºC. Actuator setup and operating menus along with detailed diagnostic and operational data screens are clearly displayed in dot matrix format at temperatures down to -20ºC.
Using the Rotork Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro, commissioning and configuring the actuator is faster and simpler than ever. The setting tool can also be used to securely transfer data from the actuators to a PC for analysis using Rotork Insight2 diagnostic software. Insight2 can further streamline actuator set up by pre-defining complete sets of instructions and settings. Each collection of settings can be saved as a ‘mission data set’ and quickly applied to multiple actuators requiring the same configuration.
