1. SSB GENERAL DETAILS
a. Intended Use of the Product
The Smart Switch Box (SSB) is a patented intelligent control box which is developed by TORK brand for pneumatic actuators within
the scope of Industry 4.0 concept and IoT applications.
The smart switch boxes are products that indicate the position of the valves controlled by the pneumatic actuators and can be
received contact output from the switches according to this position.
In addition to control the position of the actuators, smart switch boxes can control and monitor the status.
Smart switch box allow you to;
• Monitor the status of the actuators instantly,
• Control your actuator,
• Save energy,
• Learn the temperature value of the actuator,
• The number of times the actuator is switched on from the first day,
• Control the operability of long-time non-acting actuators (Partial Stroke Test),
• Receive information about any malfunction and, more importantly, any malfunctions that may occur before a malfunction
occurs, and maintenance without malfunction.
Control of actuator can be made by;
• Entering the user name and password online via the web,
• Entering the password on the device manually or
• Control signal
b. Product Benefits
• By analyzing the opening time and pressure values of the actuator in the case of prolonged use, it will notice and inform you of
a possible fault condition without any fault.
• Continuously measures the temperature value and warns if it is outside the temperature values you set.
• Measures both opening and closing air pressures and gives warning of any air leakage.
• With two different counters on the monitoring screen, it shows how many times has been on and off from the first day and the
counter information that you can reset and count.
• Saves energy.
When you want to control your actuator, either the opening or the closing coils remain in continuous energy. It causes energy
consumption. The smart switch box cuts off the power of the coil after switching on or off while controlling the acutator. But as the
command arrives, it ensures that the actuator remains open or closed.
• It makes Partial Stroke Test (PST).
It is a method used to test whether the actuator is operating safely on valves used for safety purposes and no closure option. In this
method, the actuator is brought to its semi-closed position and the test the actuator whether or not it performs its duty. In this test,
the actuator is first switched to the semi-closed position. Pressure values are measured from two channels. After waiting a while,
the pressure values are measured again. Any air leakage is detected and the actuator opens again. In addition, the opening time is
measured to determine whether the actuator is compressed or not.
