Limitorque has been a global leader in the development and deployment of network products for electric valve actuators. Network products include DDC-100 (Modbus), Foundation Fieldbus H1, Profibus DP-V1 and Profibus PA. In fact Limitorque is the only major valve actuator manufacturer to supply Profibus PA.
The Limitorque Master Station II is a revolutionary step forward in control technology. The device is capable of controlling up to 250 valve actuators, offers full redundancy, provides easy-to-use HMI interfaces, and allows for high-speed data-transfer via a Modbus DCS port or Modbus Ethernet port. In addition, a built-in web server can be used for monitoring network status from any remote station using TCP/IP.
This next generation master station is designed and manufactured by Limitorque specifically for use with Limitorque΄s line of DDC-100 field units. For power, petrochemical, oil and gas, water and wastewater applications, the Master Station II acts as a single-source controller for up to 250 actuators or other controlled devices (pumps, solenoids, mixers etc).
The Master Station II is a plug and play solution that provides complex control and diagnostics of Limitorque field units through a simple touch panel operator interface. Enclosure options include standard 19" rack enclosure, NEMA 4/4X wall-mountable enclosure and standalone cabinet enclosure.
