The modular nature of the latest Rotork Pakscan P3 master station now allows the user to have the choice of a fully wired loop for control and monitoring, a fully wireless control and monitoring system or wired control with wireless monitoring.
Utilizing the internationally accepted 2.4GHz frequency the Pakscan P3 wireless network card gives the user access to all the standard data available from the wired Pakscan system, together with the diagnostic and asset management information stored by Rotork actuator data logger and configuration files. It allows easy extraction of these files, which up until now have only been downloadable locally, using hand held tools.
