Coralink provides closely networked support solutions for AUMA actuators. It helps plant operators to cope with growing challenges, supporting them across all phases of the plant’s lifecycle, from commissioning and predictive maintenance to active lifecycle management of their AUMA actuators. Modules including the AUMA Assistant App, AUMA CDT and AUMA Cloud interact seamlessly to help plant operators cut costs and enhance plant availability.
“Coralink ensures efficient processes and sustained plant availability. Plant operators can tap the full digital potentials of their AUMA actuators,” says Kevin Nietupski, product management service at AUMA.
At the heart of Coralink is the ability to evaluate the extensive operating data that AUMA actuators record automatically in their role as intelligent field devices. The data can easily be read from each AUMA actuator, including via a smartphone, and then analyzed.
“A new feature is a detailed action plan with concrete recommendations for action, which is accessible through just a few clicks,” says Nietupski. “By means of these automatically generated recommendations plant operators benefit from the combined expertise of AUMA service experts and decades of field experience. Plant operators can identify maintenance requirements at an early stage and take corrective measures in good time.”
Due to its scalability, Coralink saves time and money even when operators simply use it to check the condition of individual actuators. In advanced applications, Coralink can be used for comprehensive monitoring of all the actuators on a plant, as well as to implement IIoT solutions.
AUMA provides Coralink free of charge in a very comprehensive basic version. The modules run on standard PCs and smartphones, and need no extra investment in IT infrastructure.

Solenoid Valves: Direct Acting vs. Pilot-Operated
While presenting in a recent VMA Valve Basics 101 Course in Houston, I found myself in a familiar role: explaining solenoid valves (SOVs) to attendees. (I work with solenoids so much that one VMA member at that conference joked that I needed to be wearing an I Heart Solenoids t-shirt). During the hands-on “petting zoo” portion of the program, which involves smaller groups of attendees, one of the most frequently asked questions I get from people came up: What’s the difference between direct-acting and pilot-operated SOVs, and how do we make a choice?
