The cost of process control systems can be significantly reduced through fieldbuses. At the same time, the introduction of serial communication buses in process automation can drive functional innovations in control devices and electric actuators in the industrial field, because, with the use of bus systems, continuous innovation of functions and parameters can be realized without changes in hardware facilities, which tend to be extremely obstructive to innovations in process control systems. At the same time, the use of fieldbus technology also allows for asset management and remote parameterization of the plant, and the implementation of these innovative methods can improve the efficiency of plant operations.
      With DCL Industrial Bus devices, you can upgrade conventional non-bus electric actuators with bus functionality, avoiding the cost of upgrading mechanical and electrical systems during the upgrade process. You can also configure DCL Industrial Bus devices when selecting DCL electric actuators for busing and flexible deployment of process control systems. This also allows you to continue to optimize process control system functionality (e.g., self-diagnostics, data logging, parameter optimization, firmware upgrades) after the system has been deployed without the need for hardware changes.

      Supported protocols are: Modbus, CAN, Profibus, DeviceNet, Foundation Fieldbus, HART, Ethernet.
