Emerson EIM Model 500 electric valve actuator

The EIM Model 500 electric valve actuator is designed for use in rotary and linear valve applications. The TEC2 electronics are designed to provide the visibility, insight and control needed for effective plant operations, with ready information on actuator status and diagnostics that help operations avoid unscheduled maintenance.

The Model 500, with its compact size and light weight, automates small valves used in tight piping configurations and can be utilised with a remote display module for difficult-to-observe applications. With increased stem acceptance, the Model 500 accommodates a wide variety of valve mounting options. Maintenance and set-up are simplified with a nonintrusive design that eliminates the need to open control compartments.

Model 500 actuators utilise an open network control architecture allowing a wide range of topologies and protocols including Modbus, HART, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, DeviceNet and Ethernet, to integrate into existing or new communication networks. It also offers the convenience of Bluetooth operation while maintaining an intrinsically safe capability.
