Limitorque MX Electronic Actuator FCD LMENIM2306-09-AQ – 08/17 ® 2.2 DDC/Modbus Option The following instructions assume that all DDC option parameters are set with the exception of the address. 1. After setting position limits, remain in the “SETUP” mode. If not in the “SETUP” mode, enter the “SETUP” mode as detailed in Section 2.1.1, Entering the Setup Mode.
Standard B4/B4E Base The standard MX actuator base is the B4 torque-only. It includes a mounting plate and steel torque nut, which may be machined to fit a valve or gearbox. A B4E torque nut can be provided and may be installed to allow for extended stem acceptance.
3. Machine the torque nut to suit the valve stem or gearbox input shaft (see LMENSS2326, MX Performance and Dimensions for maximum stem capacity). Ensure sufficient clearance for a smooth, sliding fit.
3.1.2 Type “A” Bases: Thrust-only Applications Standard A1/A1E Base The standard MX actuator thrust base is the A1, and may be bolted directly to the actuator. The thrust base contains a bronze alloy thrust nut that may be machined to suit the valve stem.
MX Electronic Actuator FCD LMENIM2306-09-AQ – 08/17 ® Pilot removal MX-10/20: Remove the screw and washer holding the valve pilot to the thrust base and remove pilot. MX-40: Turn counterclockwise (CCW) and remove. Thrust bearing and nut removal 1. Remove the first set of thrust washers and bearing.

3.2 Mechanical Installation Onto Valve or Gearbox NOTE: Refer to MX Maintenance and Spare Parts bulletin (LMENIM2314) for more detailed instructions. Before installing the actuator onto a valve or gearbox, check the following to ease installation: • Verify that mounting flange is suited dimensionally to mate with the actuator base. Ensure that it is perpendicular to the valve stem or gearbox input shaft.
Limitorque MX Electronic Actuator FCD LMENIM2306-09-AQ – 08/17 ® 3.3 Electrical Connections Verify that the supply voltage details on the nameplate are correct for this installation. Setup is non-intrusive; therefore, remove only the terminal cover to make electrical connections and to commission the actuator.

Note 2: See section 7.3 for single phase high and low ambient FLA values 3.3.7 Network Installations The Limitorque MX offers a number of network options: DDC-Modbus, Foundation Fieldbus H1, Profibus DP_V1, Profibus PA, and DeviceNet. Ensure that the network cable type is Belden 3074F, Belden 3105, Belden 9841 or another cable that is within 5% of the following specifications.
If the recommendation is not followed, the intergrity of instrumenta- tion signals may be comprimised. If the signal is comprimised, the MX will enter a“safe-state” whereby all motion is prohibited until communication is sucessfully re-established.
5. Install ring tongue connectors as shown in Figure 3.18. CAUTION: Do not melt the insulation. 6. Connect the network cables to the MX actuator terminal block per Table 3.4 and appropriate wiring diagram. Table 3.3 details a connection for the loop topology.
Also, excess cable should be cut, not coiled or looped, to prevent noise induction into the network. Cable Preparation Prepare the network cable for connection to the MX actuator terminal block as follows in Figure 3.15 through 3.18. Table 3.5 details connections for Foundation Fieldbus.
8 amps (4 amps for NEC Class 2) may be passed along the hi-way from a suitable power source. Two conductors are used for the CAN bus signals, CAN_H and CAN_L, which are usually smaller in diameter. Flowserve recommends Belden 3082A cable for connecting to a DeviceNet network.
Before attempting to commission the actuator, verify that the actuator is installed correctly on the valve and main power is “ON.” After making the initial electrical connections detailed in Section 3.3, Electrical Connections, the MX actuator may be commissioned without removing any covers. No special tools are required. Configuration is accomplished through the use of the LCD and the control knobs mounted on the control panel.
Limitorque MX Electronic Actuator FCD LMENIM2306-09-AQ – 08/17 ® For configuring the actuator: 1. Place the red knob in the “STOP” position. 2. Move the black knob to the “YES” or “NO” position and release to answer questions appearing on the LCD display.
Limitorque MX Electronic Actuator FCD LMENIM2306-09-AQ – 08/17 ® 5. When configuration is complete, answer “YES” to “EXIT SETUP?” or move the red knob from “STOP” to “LOCAL” or “REMOTE.” After exiting the “SETUP” mode, all settings will automatically be saved to a non-volatile memory and retained, even when power is removed from the actuator.

3. Select “YES” at the “SET OPEN POSITION LIMIT?” prompt. 4. Set Position Precision? The MX permits position to be reported to the User in either default mode of XXX% OPEN, or single precision mode of XXX.X% OPEN. This may be preferred in Modulating or other positioning applications such as network move-to, analog fail move-to, communication loss move-to, or ESD move-to.
