1. Smart Modular Actuator

2. Definition:
Communicating Actuator: A communicating actuator is an actuator that does not perform any control loop function. It is a replacement of a traditional actuator where the information sharing with the controller is done through a communication bus.
The results is an increased of information to the controller.
The benefit is a reduction of numbers of IOM on the job site
As such it belongs on SABus
Smart Actuator: A smart actuator is an actuator that does perform control loop function. It is the combination of Tier3 and Tier4 device. The VMA is the poster child of a smart actuator
The benefit is a reduction installation cost by avoiding electrical cabinets.

3. Smart Actuator Applications
Pressure disturbance rejection actuator for valve
Fan Coil
Hydronics systems
Combining actuator with basic function such as RWD62/RLU210
6-way ball valves for chilled beam
Distributed AHU

6. Smart Actuator V1 - Features
Smart Modular Actuator (SMA) using the M9310 platform
Target application - fan coil applications (modified T8800 FC app)
There will be 2 Analog Outputs ( 2 wires, 1 per )
There will be 2 Universal Input (requires 2 wires to exit actuator).
There will be 1 CO ( 1 wire)
There will be 1 Relay for fan output ( 1 wire)
There will be MTSP connection to Field Bus (requires 4 wires to exit actuator)
There will be MSTP SA Bus connection for connecting Net Sensors.
24 VAC connection (requires 2 wires to exit actuator)
SMC will communicate to NAE on Field Bus (FB)
MAP can connect RJ jack of Network Sensor on SA Bus, which will allow wireless configuration of actuator using mobile device

7. Smart Actuator Details – Smart Controller
For the IOs, NAE connectivity, and running FAC application, a Smart Modular Controller (SMC) will be built using JBOC (LC3 POC) design.
SMC will use UART interface to communicate with the Actuator
SMC will be RX111 based
SMC will have 2AO, 2UI, 1 CO, and 1 Relay, MSTP Field Bus (FB) – for NAE
SMC will It will have 2 MSTP connection ( 1 FB, and 1 SA BUS)
SMC will run Fan Coil closed loop control (modified T8800 FC app)
SMA will not have dip switch for the address, but will use default address, configured with Tools at factory, that can be changed using MAP
SMA will not have end of line switch, but end of line can be changed using Map
SMA IO Board will be separate from the controller board

8. Smart Actuator V2 - Features
Smart Modular Actuator (SMA) using the M9310 platform
Target application - fan coil applications (modified T3000 FC app)
There will be 2 Analog Outputs ( 2 wires, 1 per )
