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.
A transmission rate of 10 or 100Mbit/s is automatically selected by the device (autonegotiation).
The interfaces can automatically interchange the receive and transmit cables (autocrossover).
The FLM BK ETH M12 DI8 M12 bus coupler supports the following network protocols: Modbus/TCP, Modbus/UDP and DDI (Device Driver Interface).
As a lower-level bus the Ethernet bus coupler provides a powerful local bus with a selectable transmission rate from 500Kbaud to 2Mbaud.
The total length of the local bus is 20m and it can connect up to 16 I/O units.
The sensor supply is short-circuit and overload-protected and thus guarantees high system availability.
The diagnosis and status displays for power supply, network, and local bus operation with corresponding monitoring functions reduce bus downtime and provide support if service becomes necessary.
