The actuator must be integrated with the main control system in one of two
ways:
• Directly to the main control system. In this case it is important to consider
the communication protocol.
• Through a stand-alone sub-system delivered by Eltorque. This is a
standardized hardware and software platform tailored for Eltorque actuators.
The solutions illustrated below show a bus connection with the Eltorque Hybrid
Marine Cable. This cable can be used with the CANopen and Dual CAN
communication interface. In addition, Eltorque actuators support Digital and
Analog connections.
Figure 3 below shows Eltorque actuators that are connected to a cabinet with
Eltorque valve control system (E-VCS). In this example, pump starters are also
connected to the E-VCS. Other equipment, such as sensors can also be connected
to the E-VCS. The E-VCS includes an HMI interface on the cabinet and can also
support an HMI interface on the main control level.

Figure 4 below shows Eltorque actuators that are connected directly to a
customer specific PLC, PC or other control unit. In addition, Eltorque actuators
support digital and analog connections. On system level, the PLC, PC or
Controller must be compliant with Eltorque communication protocol according to
Eltorque System Integrators Manual CANopen Interface.
