How do actuators with bus functions (motorized valves) work?

-Modbus, CAN, Ethernet, Profibus

When you install DCL with bus function for electronically controlled valves on the pipeline, you can control a group of electronically controlled valves via bus (Modbus, CAN, Ethernet, Profibus), thus realizing synchronous control of valve clusters.

Bus-type DCL actuators - Modbus, CAN, Profibus, Ethernet
  • The control system sends opening control commands to the actuator through the bus communication protocol. The actuator follows the bus command to drive the valve to the specified opening.
  • If a bus error occurs, the valve is actuated to fully open, fully close, or maintain the valve position at the time of the bus error, depending on the user setting.
  • If the power supply to the power line stops while the actuator is driving the valve, the actuator stops driving and the motorized valve maintains its current position.

NOTE: The above circuit diagram shows the function of a switching actuator (motorized valve) in its simplest form. In practical applications, additional protection devices such as fuses and current limiters should also be considered.
