Product Name: Biffi ICON 2000 Electric Actuator

Product Description

Intelligent, non-intrusive, multi-turn electric actuator Features Easy set-up: - The set-up and commissioning is the most delicate part of the life of an actuator in a plant. A good set up will prevent most of the problems which normally arise in actuation. With intelligent actuators, the initial tuning of the core parameters is performed by way of the local interface and its software. The procedure is accomplished even in hazardous environments as it is not necessary to unscrew a single bolt or nut, which drastically reduces set-up time. Enhanced local interface: - The ICON 2000 actuator has a double display showing updated information on actuator status and variables value: the upper display either indicates position or torque; the lower (2 rows) gives extended information on alarms, warnings, etc. The local pushbutton gives full access to the actuator with no need for any extra setting tool. Password protection for unauthorized access is available. Diagnostics: - Internal circuits continuously monitor the status of the system and elaborate all the information coming from the sensors: diagnostic messages are displayed in one of the available languages (Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German), so there is no need to decipher complicated codes. The set of messages is complete both with alarms and warnings. Cost reduction and user-friendliness: - The reduced number of mechanical parts ensures higher reliability and lower maintenance costs. The aluminum alloy highly resistant housing and covers, together with a lower number of joints, have increased Icon capacity to stand up to the most aggressive environments. A double-sealed enclosure assures protection from dust and humidity. The choice of internal components has increased the overall system efficiency (the motor is directly engaged to the gears) lowering the operational cost. A reduction of training costs is also achieved because of the user friendly system. Torque sensor: - The direct measure of the motor speed reports torque with high precision and a resolution of 1% of the nominal torque. Position sensor: - Controlled by a dedicated microprocessor with low power consumption, it is based on Hall-effect incremental encoder with a resolution of 10° of output shaft rotation. Rotations in both senses are recognized and counted. If manually operated (i.e. during power failure), the position is updated, stored and displayed locally. 16 bit microchip, Hitachi, with a flash memory of 128Kb. This provides high flexibility and the ability to reprogram if necessary. All the internal wiring has been considerably reduced. The modular design of the electronic cards allows high flexibility for a great variety of combinations
