Emerson offers fieldbus connections that help to integrate valve systems directly into the control structure of your machine.

Fieldbus & I/O Technology

Simplified communication and connectivity between controllers, valve systems and sensors.

G3 Fieldbus Electronics

Smarter Control and Diagnostics for Machine Automation

Emerson offers a wide range of fieldbus electronics to meet your needs. We offer a range of all relevant protocols including I/O-Link allowing you to specify options. Whether you need a valve system with full I/O-functionality, a stand-alone solution without valves, or a valve system with direct fieldbus connection without I/O, we have the solution for you.

Our electronics and valve systems are easily configurable to meet your requirements with modularity and plug-and-play principles for easy installation. The innovative graphic display of the G3 and 580 electronics provide direct, easy-to-understand diagnostics and simplified commissioning. Our IIoT enabled fieldbus electronics have integrated OPC UA capabilities, ensuring you a future-proof solution for your pneumatic systems.

How It Works

Series G3

The Series G3 is ideal for covering your complete machine. With a large numbers of protocols, wide range of I/O modules, high number of I/Os and the distributed system concept only one electronic system covers the full demand.

Together with the sturdy construction of metal threads and the unique graphic display, assembly, setup and long-life operation in combination with our valve systems like the Series 500 delivers sustainable technology.

Series AES

The Advanced Electronic System (AES) can be integrated into all AES compatible valve systems, such as our Series AV advanced valve systems or can be configured as a stand-alone solution. The AES electronics has optimized dimensions to fit in the smallest spaces even while connected due to optimized positioning. The fast backplane systems, integrated IIoT functionality and various specific and optimized I/O modules like the pressure measurement module or the controller module for closed loop circuits or servo pneumatic enables your machine for years to come.

Series 580

Series 580 is a pure industrial communication fieldbus electronic solution with integrated graphic display for easy identification, setup, and diagnostics. With 128 coils capability, the large number of fieldbus protocols. In addition, I/O-Link or DeltaV CHARM version makes the solution compact, lean, and efficient.

Auto-Recovery

The Auto Recovery Module (ARM) for the Series G3 protects configuration data during critical failure while the Wireless ARM allows additionally easy but secured access to vital valve system diagnostics and health monitoring via WiFi connection. With the new slim clip design even a subsequent upgrade of your existing G3 system is possible.

Diagnostics

The Series G3’s integrated graphic display uses plain-language messaging to provide clear diagnostic information and version tracking. Status and alarm indication are made visible on the display and the channel diagnosis navigate quickly for easy and effective troubleshooting. The Series AES sends module and valve zone diagnostics directly to the PLC. Large diagnostic LEDs provide visible status information even through tight sensor cabling. Our state of the webserver enables extensive diagnostic information and further supporting functionalities with G3 and AES Ethernet based bus nodes.

IIoT Integration

The AVENTICS Series AES has integrated IIoT functionality enabling users to extract valuable insights out of their pneumatic systems, by using OPC UA connectivity. The AES connects directly to other systems to deliver actionable information around air flow, pressure and the lifecycle of pneumatic components. These features transform customer machines into a future-proof Digital Twin applications.

IO-Link®

The AVENTICS Series G3 fieldbus is available with an integrated IO-Link Class A Master. This is a cost-effective solution for smart and analog sensor connectivity. Optimized for sensor-rich applications with 8 class A ports per module, the IO-Link master functions as an IO-Link Gateway with integrated valves.

Series G3 can support up to 16 multiple & distributable I/O modules on one G3 platform. The IO-Link Class A Master can be used in conjunction with all Series G3 I/O modules and is fully customizable as users can combine 16 PNP inputs, 16 PNP outputs and  8 IO-Link device connections. The integrated web server support in the communications module provides advanced support/diagnostics for all AVENTICS IO-Link® devices.
