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.

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.

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
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

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.
