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 robust Bluetooth standard, which allows stable and reliable communications even under adverse industrial conditions, serves as the wireless technology.
Furthermore, numerous wireless connections can be switched in parallel locally.
The special co-existence functions also allow IEEE802.11 b/g WLAN systems to be installed concurrently.
Three different operating modes are supported.
The component can be employed as an access point for up to seven participants, as an Ethernet client adapter, or as a serial Bluetooth COM server.
The net data throughput is up to 400Kbps at a range of 50 to 100m in industrial buildings, as well as up to 200m in outdoor applications.
The autoconfiguration feature makes the initial setup of the component easy.
Individual adjustments can be made via the integrated web interface.
