In addition to the version with an AS-Interface, our intelligent positioner Type 8694 is now also available with the digital communication interface IO-Link or as a Bürkert system bus variant (büS).
The digital communication of intelligent field devices and the transmission of process, device and diagnostic data are becoming increasingly important in process automation.
This development is also playing an ever more vital role in valve technology. For example, intelligent control valves can be better monitored through greater networking as well as availability and product quality increased through diagnostic information.
Compared to other communication standards, IO-Link can be used to transmit both cyclic process data and acyclic parameters and diagnostic data between the valve and higher-level automation systems. This allows you to access your device data during operation while keeping an eye on the process status at all times.
The extended diagnostic functions, such as limit value definition of the operating parameters and active status messages, enable predictive maintenance of your plant to increase plant availability.
