The newly designed LimitorqueProfibus DP with Redcom is an uncompromising solution, specifically dedicated to time-critical communication between automation systems and sensors in oil and gas, commercial power generation, and fresh and wastewater applications.
Compatible with Limitorque non-intrusive MX multi-turn and QX quarter-turn actuators, the Profibus DP with Redcom network protocol features improved connectivity options. The new design allows connection with a single channel, or as an option, with dual redundant channel networks. Furthermore, the time required for configuring and acquiring pertinent diagnostic information is greatly reduced with the use of a new and improved DTM (Device Type Manager).
Building on the overwhelming success of the LimitorqueProfibus DP, this new design dramatically reduces switchover times on redundant channels without risk of losing device specific network communications. The LimitroqueProfibus DP with Redcom boasts a variety of capabilities, including: Higher safety and product integrity through double-sealed protection that isolates the controls compartment from corrosive, severe environments. Significant reduction of redundant channel switchover times from 12-13 seconds to ≤500 ms. Continued actuator operation through absolute encoders with built-in self-test (BIST) capability that switches to redundant circuits in the event of a single sided failure, while highlighting the need for inspection. The Profibus DP with Redcom is fully compliant with Profibus 2.212_V and NAMUR NE-107 standards.
