Rotork’s new IQ Pro electric valve actuator includes a data logging feature that enables users to monitor valve performance, forecast when valve maintenance might be required and scheduled, and manage assets for maximum productivity. The actuator stores historical and current operating data, including valve torque profiles, number of operations, valve and actuator positions, and other vital performance and operational statistics. Users can download the data by pointing an intrinsically safe Rotork IQ Pro setting tool at the actuator. The information is downloaded wirelessly and stored in the setting tool in seconds. Users can upload the data to virtually any laptop PC or desktop computer. Rotork also provides software for asset analysis and creating reports.
