ProSoft Technology's Wireless Frequency Hopping Radios use advanced digital signal processing (DSP) to provide the ultimate in performance and reliability for any combination of applications.
Wireless security on the plant floor
Wireless networks can consist of many radio types based on the radio frequency and the modulation methods.
With support for up to 150 actuators on a Limitorque redundant loop network and up to 28 actuators on a single multi-drop network, the MVI56-LTQ is the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective option for integrating Limitorque valve control into a ControlLogix network.
The LTQ module installs in any slot in a local or extended rack.
The module's capabilities are enabled and controlled with simple ladder logic and data table initialization.
Once the LTQ module has been set up for operation, all active valve actuators will automatically be polled for status data.
Since the LTQ module is integrated directly into the ControlLogix rack, it forms a tightly integrated and practical solution.
Additional Features Include:.
* Support for the storage and transfer of up to 150 valves to the processor's controller tags.
* Emulates Limitorque's Port A/B polling scheme using both ports on the module to continuously poll the devices.
* Supports the following valves:.
- MX/DDC Modbus.
- UEC-3-DDC Modbus.
- DDC-100M I/O Module.
- DDC-100M Field Unit.
- Valvcon IVO (unit in multi-drop mode only).
