INTRODUCTION
Pakscan 3 is the latest network control system from Rotork. The Pakscan P3F master station
encompasses the P3 technology in a master station specifically designed for mounting in remote
locations. The P3F enclosure protects the electronics within to IP65 standards and is suitable for use
in those locations where more conventional equipment cannot be located. Compared to the P3, the
P3F is simplified to include only those features demanded by smaller and simpler applications. It is a
single channel system capable of supporting up to 32 actuators or other field units.
Most types of Rotork actuator can be connected to the Pakscan current loop provided they are fitted
with the necessary field unit. Information on the respective actuator field units can be found in the
appropriate manuals. In this guide, the type of actuator is not considered, though reference is made to
both the Integral and IQ actuator types of field unit. The type of field unit does not affect the setting up
of the system.
The P3F master station is supplied as a stand alone unit ready for connection to the actuators and
host control system.
