Riopol - actuators controlled via Ethernet

Rio Polímeros - Riopol is the largest gas-chemical enterprise in Latin America. It recently purchased a Pakscan Ethernet unit from Rotork to facilitate monitoring of its actuators. To meet the urgent request made by RioPol, Fluxo has made an ePakscan unit available for immediate use as an emergency. After five months successfully installed, the test unit will be replaced in September by the definitive equipment, already delivered by Rotork.

The ePakscan is an optional module to the Rotork control system. Through this module, it is possible to access all actuators protected by password and can be accessed externally or only through the user's Intranet. With ePakscan all commands, diagnostics and actuator information are available remotely to the user, as if he were accessing the system directly on site.

ePakscan is a simple interface, easy to install, connected to a Master Station, equipment that controls the actuator loop. At Riopol, the ePakscan is coupled to a Master Station that monitors 35 actuators in operation.
Riopol is located close to the Duque de Caxias Refinery - Reduc, in the district of Campos Elíseos, municipality of Duque de Caxias (RJ). Riopol is the largest integrated gas-chemical industrial complex and the second main producer of polyethylene in Brazil.
