Flexible measuring amplifier with display

September 2003 Temperature Measurement Access Control & Identity Management

IFM Electronic has introduced the TR2432 universal control and display unit for the connection of platinum (Pt) temperature sensors. The electronics automatically detect whether two-wire, three-wire or four-wire Pt 100 or Pt 1000 sensors are connected.

The sensor has a scaleable analog output of 0 to 10 V or 4 to 20 mA, and a wide measuring range from -40 to 300°C. By using only one sensor, a great number of common temperature measurement and monitoring tasks in the manufacturing and process industries can be implemented. An integrated 10-segment display provides local visual indication of the current temperature while the additional switching output indicates limit temperatures.

In critical process states such as minimum or maximum, limit temperatures can be directly monitored using the independent switching output. As only one unit is required, instead of several, significant savings can be realised through reduced purchasing, stocking, maintenance and plant downtime.
