PME120-AI / PME120-AN (Contrac)

Product catalog summary
Overview
The document is a technical data sheet for ABB's PME120-AI and PME120-AN electrical rotary actuators, designed for continuous control with a nominal torque of 100 Nm. These actuators feature integrated or separate electronic units and are suitable for continuous positioning, three-point position control, or bus control.
Key Features
  • Maintenance-free operation for up to 10 years.
  • Stall-proof design without position- or torque-dependent shut-off.
  • Adjustable mechanical limit stops and a handwheel for emergency operation.
  • Control via a separate, processor-controlled electronic unit.
  • Power supply options of 115 V AC or 230 V AC.
Operating Principles
The actuator continuously responds to a set point signal, balancing actuator and control valve forces. It operates under continuous voltage, adjusting torque based on set point and position signals, without temperature derating, ensuring high precision and dynamic operation.
Design and Components
  • Nominal actuator torque ranges from 50 to 16000 Nm.
  • Features motor-driven, low-friction, oil-lubricated spur gearing.
  • Includes a handwheel for manual operation and a spring-loaded brake for fail-safe operation.
Control and Communication
  • Analog control via 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA signals with digital inputs and outputs.
  • Supports PROFIBUS DP®, PROFIBUS DP®/V1, and HART® communication protocols.
  • DTM and EDD technologies for configuration and parameterization.
Specifications
  • Operating mode: S9 – 100%; stall-proof according to IEC 60034-1/EN 60034-1.
  • IP rating: IP 66 and NEMA 4X.
  • Ambient temperature range: -25 to 85 °C.
  • Mounting position: Any position, preferably IMB 3.
  • Coating: 2-layer component epoxy.
Environmental and Service Life
  • Designed for extreme ambient conditions with corrosion protection.
  • Exceeds service life requirements for continuous modulation class D.
Specifications
The actuators have a nominal torque of 100 Nm, adjustable to 0.5, 0.75, or 1 times the nominal torque. The starting torque is 1.2 times the nominal torque, with a break-away torque in end positions at 2 times the nominal torque. The rated time for a 90° rotation is adjustable between 20 to 900 seconds, and the operating speed is adjustable from 4.5 to 0.1 °/s. The operating angle ranges from 35° to 270°.
Electronic Unit
The electronic unit for field installation is the EAN823, and for rack installation, it is the EAS822. Power supply options are 115 V AC or 230 V AC, with a frequency range of 47.5 to 63 Hz. It supports conventional communication with analog and digital inputs/outputs, and digital communication via RS232, with optional FSK/HART® or PROFIBUS DP®.
Communication
For PROFIBUS DP® communication, the actuators support DP/V0 and DP/V1 protocols, with baud rates from 93.75 Kbit/s to 1500 Kbit/s, featuring automatic baud rate detection and configurable functions for bus communication downtime.
Electrical Connections
Specific wire cross-sectional areas are required for connections, with options for crimp pins and screw terminals. Cable glands must be installed on-site, and shielded cables are recommended for motor/brake, sensor, and signal cables.
Dimensions
Detailed dimensions for the actuators and levers are provided, with measurements in millimeters and inches.
Mechanical and Electrical Connections
Details include shafts with keys, lever sets, and electrical connections such as 24-pole plugs and options for digital communication via RS 232, HART®, and PROFIBUS DP®.
Materials
The flange is made of EN-JS1050 and the shaft of EN-JS1030, both according to DIN standards.
Ordering Information
Detailed ordering codes for different configurations of the PME120-AI and PME120-AN models are provided, including options for rated position speed, mechanical and electrical connections, supply voltage, and ambient temperature ranges.
Accessories
Accessories include plug covers, plug holders, and adapter plates for rotary actuators, with options for factory certificates and operating instructions in multiple languages.
