Modbus® technology for ease of communication and lower component complexity
Reduce costs and increase efficiency with LINAK® actuators with integrated Modbus RTU. This additional option for our actuators eases communication and lowers component complexity.
What is Modbus?
Modbus is a serial communication protocol used for industrial electronic devices, which is often connected to a programmable logic control (PLC). Modbus makes it easy to integrate and maintain multiple devices on the same network. Actuators with Modbus can be used for industrial automation, solar tracking etc.
LINAK actuators with integrated Modbus
Modbus is part of our IC Integrated Controller™ series and is a well-known communication technology that has been on the market for years.
By integrating the electronics into the actuator, LINAK has reduced both installation and maintenance costs. Integrated Modbus technology offers the possibility of saving costs both during installation and cabling.
For instance, no additional cable installation and alignment are necessary because the actuator and control box are combined into one unit. We offer a range of actuators with integrated Modbus.
Features and advantages
By using integrated Modbus, the use of signal cables and additional controllers is reduced, bringing down your total cost. Using Modbus adds more functionality to the actuators, such as speed regulation, programmable strokes, adjustable current limits and many more. It is also possible to retrieve service data about, for instance, temperature or current consumption.
