Figure 4: Eltorque actuator loop connected to Integrated Automation Control System
(IAS or ICS)
The Dual CAN option opens new solutions on a system level. Below is an
example of a system with improved redundancy compared with a standard
system. The actuators should be integrated through a stand-alone sub-
system delivered by Eltorque.
The solution illustrated in Figure 5 shows a ring connection with the
Eltorque Hybrid Marine Cable and Dual CAN communication from two sides.
The Eltorque Dual CAN actuators are connected to a cabinet with an Eltorque
valve control system (E-VCS). In this example, pump starters are also
connected to the E-VCS. Other equipment, such as sensors can also be
connected to the E-VCS. The E-VCS includes an HMI interface on the cabinet
and can also support an HMI interface on the main control level.
