IC 40 Actuators

Actuators
Actuator IC 40 is designed for all applications that requireprecise, controlled rotary movement between 0° and 90°. It canbe mounted directly onto the butterfly valves BVG, BVGF, BVA,BVAF, BVH, BVHS or linear flow control VFC in order to controlthe gas and air flow rates on gas burners. Actuators andbutterfly valves or linear flow control VFC can also be deliveredready assembled as butterfly valves with actuator IBG, IBGF,IBA, IBAF, IBH, IBHS or linear flow control IFC, see TechnicalInformation Butterfly valves BVG, BVA, BVH…, IB…, and Linearflow controls VFC, IFC. An optional integrated feedbackpotentiometer offers the option of monitoring the currentposition of the actuator. This checking function can be used inautomation processes. The IC 40 can be used on continuously-controlled burners and on stage-controlled burners. Settingson the actuator IC 40 can be made using a PC with theprogramming software BCSoft. All the relevant settings for theprocess are made using the software via an optical interface.Various operating modes, which may be modified, are stored inthe unit. In addition, the control type (two-point step signal,three-point step signal or continuous control), running times,adjustment angles and intermediate positions can beprogrammed. The actuator can also be controlled “by hand”using the software. Once set, all the parameters can be savedon the PC and copied from there into other actuators, thussaving time during the commissioning process. Servicetechnicians can call up statistical data using BCSoft, such ashours of operation, actuating cycles and a fault history. Somevalues can also be set to zero, for example to record data overa specific period of time.
