The sera<\/strong> stepper motor pump iSTEP combines an intelligent drive concept to the accuracy of a diaphragm dosing pump to offer state oft he art technology when it comes to accuracy, versatility, ergonomics and reliability in fluid dosing. As the pump is equipped with a multilingual, intuitive menue navigation and a power supply of 110-240 V, 50\/60 Hz it can be used worldwide.<\/p>\n

The new released sera<\/strong> Interface Module enables the iSTEP to be integrated into a PROFIBUS system. PROFIBUS, in particular, PROFIBUS DP, is used to control and operate sensors and actuators via a centralized controller for automated manufacturing applications. Besides the various standard diagnostic options, the focus is on integrating multiple controls together.<\/p>\n

The installation is very easy: A usually needed Y-junction is not necessary, as the sera<\/strong> Interface Module is equipped with a separate in- and output. Also, the included wall brackets enable module mounting adaptable to both the pump and a location elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Pumps set up with the sera<\/strong> Interface Module can be controlled and managed centrally: a data transmission and parametrization of several pumps is also possible without hand-held control element. The sera<\/strong> Interface Module supports both standards DP-V0 and DP-V1 and thus can be used either in process and automation technology or in process engineering.<\/p>\n

The sera<\/strong> Interface Module is offered as an option for every iSTEP and needless to say, it can be retrofitted as well.<\/p>\n

\u201eWith the sera<\/strong> Interface Module we can meet increasing demands for future production processes: PROFIBUS connections lead to an intelligent, sustainable and especially efficient control system\u201c<\/em>, Enrico Ertle, Head of development at sera ProDos<\/strong> , explains. \u201eAppropriate product adjustments will be made to utilize the sera <\/strong>Interface Module for further pump series.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n
