Rotork Pakscan P4 has recently introduced a Master Station with a host of advanced new features. On the P4 Master Station, a large touch screen display provides an easy to use, multilingual, user interface providing quick device setup, interrogation and issue resolution. NAMUR standard diagnostic icons and colours are used for easy recognition of status and alarms.
The P4 Master Station has advanced field network option capabilities including a new ultra-fast Plus Network and a Modbus network – enabling connection to third-party Modbus field devices. The modular design enables one P4 Master Station to supervise up to four field networks – including existing Pakscan wired or wireless networks.
Priority is given to process data whilst built-in High Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR) ensures instant isolation of any loop fault, without loss of data, allowing continued operation of the plant if a fault occurs. Along with single and dual configurations, the P4 Master Station can be supplied in a hot standby configuration where all interfaces are duplicated, providing the highest level of availability.
Pakscan P4 is designed for economical installation and minimum cost of ownership. The single twisted pair cable or wireless network reduces installation engineering effort and associated costs. The system is fully supported with documentation, on-site or in-house training and Rotork’s global network of trained service engineers.
