10. Actuator Bus System

11. Asahi/America Bus Systems • Allows two wire control / communications with actuator for control and status information. • Allows simple installation and results in significant installation savings to the customer over conventional control.

12. Asahi/America Bus Systems Customary Wiring Method I/O Cabinet PLC

13. Asahi/America Bus Systems Bus Wiring Method PLC

14. Asahi/America Bus Systems Bus Wiring Method

15. Asahi/America Bus Systems Bus systems require only a two wire bus to each valve (Plus power for electric actuators). Solenoid valves for pneumatic actuators are typically powered from the bus system.

16. Asahi/America Bus Systems Labor Costs The utilization of a serial communications field network will greatly contribute to the overall reduction of labor costs. Compared to the conventional hardwired system individual wires must be pulled through a protected conduit that is hundreds of feet long. Hardwired 180 valve system $223,905 Networked 180 valve system $102,129

17. Asahi/America Bus Systems Material Costs The amount of conduit, fittings, wire and junction housings is greatly reduced. When compared with conventional systems, field networks eliminate a substantial amount of field wiring and the labor necessary to install it. Hardwired 180 valve system $228,000.00 Networked 180 valve system $152,000.00

18. Asahi/America Bus Systems Maintenance Costs Field networks create the foundation for a plant wide valve management system that takes full responsibility for monitoring and diagnosing valve performance from installation to predictive/ preventive maintenance scheduling.

19. Asahi/America Bus Systems A/A Plans to integrate two of the many buses available into our actuation products. • First is the ASI System (Now Available) • Secondwill be Foundation Fieldbus • Both are internationally recognized
