Operational Data
In the past actuators were mainly used only to automate valves in industrial plants. Today, advanced actuator electronics from SCHIEBEL provide
the possibility of making a valuable and lasting contribution to preventive maintenance and repair.
The actuator not only operates a valve, but also provides the system with valuable information about its state.
Integrated logging of operational data with recording of history data in real time as well as meter readings, display of status information and warning alerts all go to provide the operating organization with additional support already on commissioning as well as in operation and subsequently in inspections and maintenance planning. Service measures and repair measures required are identified and indicated early on, as a result of which preventive and targeted measures can be taken for continued safe operation and extended product life cycles.

Statusinformation
S1 Binary outputs The display of the eight binary feedbacks (freely programm- able) provides information about communication with the control unit, thus providing support in commissioning. Depending on the configuration, a set output 1 (active high) or 0 (active low) is shown. |
S2 Binary inputs Display of five binary inputs (freely parameterizable), whereby the control unit represents incoming movement commands with 1 instead of 0 |
S3 Analog values Display of the analog 0/4–20-mA inputs and of the analog feed- backs from and to the control unit. |
S4 Absolute values Display of the absolute and relative values for positions and torques. |
S5 Firmware Display of firmware (software version), including date. |
S6 Serial number Display of the serial number of electronics, actuator and control unit. |
S7 Counter readings PowerOn cycles: How often has the actuator been turned on and off? Operating hours: Actuator under live voltage Motor run time: Motor in motion |
Event log – data history
In the History status menu, events are continuously time-stamp logged and stored. Using SCHIEBEL software, up to 100 events can be tracked and displayed.
|
Warning alerts
The display of warning alerts provides valuable information on the operating status of an actuator. This can allow a complete failure to be detected early on and averted. |
Failure/malfunction
Should an actuator fail, the white backlight of the display will automatically change to red, which can be seen already from a great distance. . |
Signal lamps
Colored LEDs are used to clearly show operating statuses. Two programmable LEDs for visualizing movement and reaching of a respective end position, 2 LEDs for visualizing standby status, 1 LED for visualizing a respective active communication interface (Bluetooth or infrared). |
