Limitorque Master Station III FCD LMENIM5001-02 – 12/13
1.1 Overview
The next-generation master station is designed and manufactured by Flowserve Limitorque specifi-
cally for use with the Limitorque line of (Modbus) electric actuators. The Master Station III (MSIII)
acts as a single-source controller for up to 250 actuators with full redundancy, e-mail alert notifica-
tion, and multi-lingual support.
The Master Station III is a plug-and-play solution that provides complete control, monitoring, and
diagnostics of Limitorque electric actuators through a simple touch-panel display serving as a Human
Machine Interface (HMI).
1.2 User Role Overview
The Master Station requires users to login. Four user role levels are configurable for each user: View,
Control, Configure, and Administrator. Each role includes the rights of the lesser roles (i.e., Control
includes View’s rights, and Configure includes Control’s rights and View’s rights).
VIEW: the user can view the network status and the activity log. No control or configuration
functionality is available.
CONTROL: in addition to View rights, the user has the ability to control MOVs.
CONFIGURE: in addition to Control rights, the user has the ability to configure the Master Station and

well as modify user settings.
These roles can be changed by an Administrator user. See Section 8.2.4, User Administration for
