Open the door and embrace the technology of tomorrow.
The DeviceNet option for the KEYSTONE F783 valve interface offers much
more than just on and off control.
This compact package of advanced electronic circuitry, puts Keystone
process valves on par with some of the smartest devices in modern processing
facilities.
With all the features designed into this unit, factory managers and
maintenance engineers can now focus on the real issues of running their
factories to their optimum and rest assured their process valves will be
looking after them selves.
Built-In Data Processing Embedded into the compact clip-in DeviceNet module, is a highly sophisticated,
reliable and powerful central processing unit (CPU) capable of logging,
storing and processing large amounts of data extremely quickly.
This relieves the PLC of running complex and time consuming programs,
which previously reduced its processing capability.
Programmable Servicing Flags Keystone has again listened to the requirements of their customers,
developing a device that not only makes preventative maintenance a breeze
to implement, but actually does it for you. User programmable service flags
triggered by internal cycle counters, tell you when the valve’s internal
preset limit has been reached. User configurable open and close limit timers
also trigger error flags to warn when preset open/close times are exceeded,
while current and average cycle times are logged for diagnostic use.
No Unnecessary Downtime Have you ever shutdown a section of your plant to maintain a faulty
actuator or valve? Then a few days later another unit in the same area
also needs servicing! With the Keystone DeviceNet valve interface, you
will now have the ability to interrogate the valves local to the area scheduled
for shut down to ascertain if any valves in that area are near or approaching
preset service counts, and so avoid unnecessary future downtime.
Onboard Parts Record Also stored onboard is a full valve assembly description, along with
valuable, time saving service information such as valve and actuator seal
kit part numbers, which can be easily accessed to help maximise uptime
when service is required. User’s own part numbers can also be stored onboard
the Keystone DeviceNet module.
Operation And Diagnostics Indication The high visibility LED indicators, apart from giving basic valve and
bus status indication, also serve as a powerful diagnostic tool, with a
number of easy to recognise coded signals to tell you exactly what the
valve or process is doing. Emergency Shut Down (ESD) and default
position modes are also configurable to allow you to remain in full control,
at all times. An online node beacon function has been included in
the many features of this device, assisting you to physically locate
any valve in heavily populated or difficult to access factory areas. All
of this inside a module not much bigger than a matchbox, now that’s SMART!
Ease Of Use And Savings A Keystone DeviceNet valve installation will save you valuable time
and money by cutting design times, reducing hardware and cabling costs,
and significantly shortening commissioning times, along with many other
hidden savings. What is more, if you are already a user of Keystone
conventionally hard-wired valves, the new DeviceNet module is designed
to be easily retrofitted into existing F783 control heads. It simply replaces
the existing clip-in module, and is ready for wiring to the Bus cable.
The F783 DeviceNet option valve interface operates on both linear and quarter
turn hygienic valves. A full range of adapters are also available
for Keystone’s extensive range of industrial valves, providing a complete
DeviceNet package.
