Valve actuator
AE series
Outline
The AE Series Valve Actuator is a smart type electronic valve actuator that has enabled the creation of a variety of controls by digitalizing torque detection and position detection.
Application
The AE Series Valve Actuator is a multi-turn valve actuator for electrically operating a wide variety of valves or switching devices, using a motor. The AE can be coupled directly with linear type valve and with quarter turn valve by coupling with an auxiliary reducer.
Features
- – Adjustments and function settings can be made from the control panel, with no need to open the cover.
- – Incorporates a control device necessary for electrically operating the actuator, allowing you to operate the actuator from the actuator control panel merely by providing a power supply.
- – Ensures the protection of the electric room with the terminal block in a double seal structure.
- – The AE can be coupled with the plug-in-connector for power and control cables.
- ・Applicable with PROFIBUS-DP, G-LINK, TWC.
Standard features
-
Reverse or open phase detection
Detects a reverse or open phase of the power supply. For a reverse phase, it can automatically corrects the phase to result in the normal operating direction. For an open phase, displays the error on the LCD screen and disables electric operation.
-
Torque retry
If it is unable to perform an opening operation and is constrained because the valve gets stuck, for example, automatically initiates a forward and reverse cycle to release the constraint state, so that it can operate the valve.
-
External power supply
AE can supply 24 V/200 mA DC as an external power supply for control purposes.
-
Motor protection
AE has a motor overload protection with a thermostat, as well as motor constraint protection with a start failure detection function.
-
2-speed timer
For water hammer prevention and other purposes, inching operation controls operating speed near a fully closed position.
-
Emergency shutdown (ESD)
Performs a specified operation with an external ESD signal.
-
Self-diagnosis
With various monitoring functions, AE displays the actuator status on the control panel and outputs signals.
-
Log file function
Records the number of starts, operating time, the total number of turns of the stem nut, operating torque, and error history.
-
Input/output signals
Selectable operating input signals and status output signals for each contact. Input (Di) signals: 3, output (Do) signals: 4
-
Electronic nameplate
Nameplate information can be referenced by the control panel and the optional dedicated application.
-
Partial stroke test (PST)
Performs an operating test for preventing problems in case of an emergency, such as emergency shutdown of the safety valve, with a slight stroke not requiring a bypass line.
Optional features
-
Proportional control (modulating)
Operates the actuator to a specified position, with an input signal of 4 to 20 mA DC.
-
Analog position output
Outputs a signal of 4 to 20 mA DC in proportion to the position.
-
Analog torque output
Outputs a current signal of 4 to 20 mA DC in proportion to the output torque of the actuator.
-
Additional input/output contacts
Provides the following numbers of additional contacts to the standard input/output signals: Input (Di) signals: 2, output (Do) signals: 4
-
External power supply
Supplies 100 V/15 VA AC as an external power supply for control purposes.
-
Communication/PROFIBUS-DP (V1)
Supports PROFIBUS-DP (V1) communication.
The PROFIBUS interface module is a PROFIBUS DP redundancy board incorporated in a housing as a module, which supports PROFIBUS redundancy. During maintenance and other operations for the actuator, only the module can be separated from the actuator to continue PROFIBUS communication. -
TWC (Two wire control system)
Remote control of actuator can using two control lines.
-
Wireless communication/Bluetooth
The dedicated application enables you to perform operations, make settings, and display the status by wirelessly.
