Choose the right functionality for you. 

Control Modules
The Actuator and Pneumatic Modules can be supplemented with a variety of Control Modules, which provide the flexibility to select the right functionality for your application and upgrade to digital communications in the future.

Conventional Control Modules
The Conventional FieldQ Control modules enable users to install the unit into their existing system without making drastic changes. When the plant is later upgraded, the Function Module makes this transition easy. Conventional modules can be upgraded with Smart or Bus modules by simply plugging in the desired module.

Bus Communication
The process industry faces increasingly greater demands for plant safety and process control. This means an increasing need for more and better process information, which in turn drives the need for digital communication protocols. As part of Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture, FieldQ uses FOUNDATION™ fieldbus digital communications to provide enhanced diagnostic information -- something few pneumatic rack-and-pinion actuators can do. This FieldQ version is AMS aware and provides seamless integration into the DeltaV system of Emerson Process Management, making the information easy to access and easy to use. FieldQ also supports on/off control through AS-i.

Scalable
Future upgrades to a variety of digital communication protocols can also be achieved by simply replacing the Control Module.

Enclosure
Most failures are caused by damaged solenoid housings, exposed switchboxes, and exposed coils -- but by housing the controls internally within the robust FieldQ unit, no vulnerable parts are exposed. The enclosure is rated to IP65 and NEMA 4X, while variations for hazardous areas are available that are certified to meet ATEX, CSA, and FM requirements. For easy installation and commissioning, the Control Module can be electric pre-wired to provide a quick connection.
