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.
The pluggable memory module provides instant configuration when installing or exchanging devices without requiring additional tools or software.
The module is simply plugged in, the switch is activated, and all parameters are immediately configured according to the stored settings.
Integrating a configuration memory into an interface module doesn't use any additional interfaces.
If devices are exchanged, the switch configuration is transferred when the interface modules are plugged in.
The two-port memory module is colour-coded to distinguish it from the other interfaces.
Memory modules are supported by the Modular Managed Switch as of firmware version 2.03.
As well as memory module support, the new firmware enables multicast filtering (static or dynamic via IGMP snooping) and port prioritising.
This means that Modular Managed Switches now support Ethernet IP.
