Master Station

Rotork Master Station

 

The Rotork Master Station provides the high integrity link from the Distributed Control System (DCS) to the devices in the field.

It comes complete with a large touch screen interface to allow operators and engineers to see exactly what is happening to the system and the field devices at any time.

A hot standby Rotork Master Station allows for continued availability of the system in the event of a component failure. Host ports allow connection to multiple host systems at the same time with redundant communication links where necessary. In the event of a fault occurring, the changeover to the standby is seamless without loss of data and control.
