Parker’s Pilot Pro™ communications system has been designed with a high level of flexibility to accommodate multiple configurations of local area communications networks. The product will accommodate higher level logic control and data transmission for sophisticated control schemes to simple solenoid valve control for stream selection hardware. This system has been designed with end user needs as a primary focus. From use of standard, field proven hardware, to the unique separation of hazardous zones, Pilot Pro™ has been designed to meet all of the process analyzer engineer’s challenging field application and communications needs. The system has been developed to operate across multiple bus network protocols, such as Ethernet, Modbus, Profibus, CAN, DeviceNet, and even simple analog hard-wired communication architectures.

The system can be purchased in any of three basic enclosure options (all NEMA 4X rated) based on desired communications and mounting approaches. For example, Ethernet protocols can be accommodated by use of the PLC or I/O based enclosure systems. Each of these has the maximum I/O capability of 24 (including AI, AO, DI, and DOs – see system specifications).

The Pilot Pro™ interface can be installed in a variety of positions along the plant architectural structure to meet a variety of end user requirements.
