Transducers provide an easy-to-use interface
MCR-SL-PT100 temperature transducers offer a simple, convenient and exceptionally cost-effective method of interfacing Pt100 temperature transducers with instruments and control systems.
Each unit can take up to a maximum of eight ports, enabling expansion stages up to 24 ports.
For the first time, advanced modular two-port interface modules provide a flexible cable connection, either bottom entry or front access, and designed respectively for twisted pair, glass fibre or polymer and HCS (hard clad silica) cables.
The compact design with a depth of 110mm provides flexibility giving a choice of installation - whether this is a control cabinet or decentralised control boxes.
The robust switch not only meets all industry standards regarding EMC and mechanical loads, it is also designed with vibration proof push-pull locking RJ45 connectors as standard.
Management functions include web based management (WBM) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), making configuration, setup and diagnostics easier. Request a free brochure from Phoenix Contact ...
