The IQ3 Pro actuator can be operated and configured via the Rotork app on a smartphone, providing intelligent control and communication capabilities.
The app includes a virtual Rotork Bluetooth® Setting Tool Pro (BTST), as well as a new configuration wizard which enables the commissioning of valves to be easier and more convenient. A secure connection is established between the app and the actuator utilising ‘PIN pairing’ to gain access.
All IQ3 Pro actuators have in-built data loggers so you can extract the data logs via the app, and export them to Rotork Insight 2 software or send to Rotork’s cloud-based intelligent asset management (iAM) system.
The data log files include; torque and operation, temperature, vibration, and event log information. Other metrics such as partial stroke profile, maximum starts per hour and motor run time are also available.
The Rotork app introduces smart features including:
- Dashboard with detailed status information always on display and easy navigation to all app functions
- Valve Configuration Wizard enables easier and more convenient valve commissioning
- Manual Configuration function allows experienced engineers to set all main commissioning settings
- Setting Tool function provides full access to the actuator on-screen setup menus
- Data Logs function allows the app to download data logs from multiple IQ3 Pro actuators
- Secure Connection created by ‘PIN pairing’ between the actuator and the app to gain secure access
