Description of operation
The AKM 115SA Smart Actuator is an integrated combination of a freely programmable automation
station (AS) and a ball valve actuator. Without additional controllers, it enables self-sufficient, energy
optimised control to be set up in primary systems or individual rooms. Together with an ecoUnit room
operating unit and up to two additional SAIO 100 I/O modules, even complex HVAC systems or room
controls can be implemented.
For system integration and programming, the Smart Actuator can be accessed via the communication
interfaces Bluetooth LE, WLAN and RS-485 with BACnet MS/TP.
The application programming is performed with SAUTER CASE Suite. Finished applications can be
stored in the SAUTER Cloud and loaded onto the Smart Actuator from there. Commissioning, access
to application visualisation, and documentation are carried out using SAUTER CASE Suite tools via a
mobile app or via the web interface in the SAUTER Cloud. As an IoT device, the Smart Actuator
connects to the SAUTER Cloud IoT hub via the integrated WLAN interface. The data transmission,
encrypted using TLS, is performed via the MQTT protocol. The Smart Actuator can be integrated into
a building automation network via BACnet MS/TP as an application-specific controller (B-ASC).
The Smart Actuator can be combined with 2-, 3- and 6-way ball valves. It is fitted without force by
means of a bayonet connector. Manual adjustment is performed by disengaging the gears (push
button on the actuator housing) and turning the lever. After the release button is let go, the actuator
remains at the current position and is in “local priority operation” mode (the LED alternately flashes
green and orange rapidly). After the button on the actuator is pressed for more than 5 seconds, the
actuator returns to normal operation and moves to the current position setpoint. The actuator position
is measured via the electromechanical travel measurement system and can be read out via the
