Rotork introduces a fully integrated ethernet actuator compatible with EtherNet/IP Modbus TCP and PROFINET protocols. This technology will increase data connectivity, speed and operational efficiency.

With the introduction of Rotork’s integrated Ethernet solution, a data gateway is no longer required, enabling a streamlined connection to Rotork’s intelligent IQ3 Pro actuator. 

The solution is housed within a weatherproof, or explosion-proof, enclosure and supports RJ45 and M12 connection standards. Compatibility extends to industry-standard protocols, with PI certification, GSDML files for PROFINET and ODVA certification with supporting EDS files for EtherNet/IP.
