PLCs, DCSs & Controllers


Single channel programmable transmitter

June 2003 PLCs, DCSs & Controllers

The Rish V604 single channel programmable transmitter, now available from Timecount, converts input signals from DC current (0,08 to 100 mA) or voltage (2 mV to 40 V), DIN standard thermocouples, 3 or 4-wire resistance thermometer, remote sensor or potentiometer, to a proportional analog output signal.

All measuring ranges are programmed via PC using RS232 interface. The digital measured variable data is made available at the programming interface.

Output measuring range is 5 to 40 mA, 4 to 20 mA/5 to 10 V d.c. The output signal range is programmed using a PC and type of signal (current or voltage) via a DIP-switch. The device has 2 LED displays: green to indicate the transmitter is 'standing by' and red shows the operation of open-circuit or trip point. Power supply requirements are 45 to 400 Hz, 24 to 60 V d.c. or 85 to 230 V a.c.
