Calling on 30 years of transmitter design, Omniflex believes that it has come up with a winner here. The Omniterm TXB Universal four-wire transmitter is designed for the widest range of signal conditioning applications in a single off-the-shelf product, using advanced state-of-the-art digital measurement techniques, combined with user-friendly software.
The input accommodates most thermocouple and resistance bulb types, as well as voltages and currents from 1 mV minimum to 10 V d.c. maximum input span. An extended range up to 60 V d.c. input is also available. The output can be configured for unipolar or bipolar outputs of current or voltage from ±1 mA to +20 mA or ±1 V to ±10 V. Full isolation (input/output/power supply) to 1500 V a.c. ensures trouble-free accurate measurement under the harshest plant conditions.
This product provides low life-cycle costs by reducing spares stock-holding requirements, and reducing specialist technical expertise required for field support and calibration, module replacement and field configuration. This new holistic approach to instrumentation asset management ensures reliable performance and minimal downtime. The TXB offers 0,01% resolution with increased dynamic range, tailored for noisy plant environments.
Configuration management
The powerful but intuitive configuration software ensures the maximum instrument flexibility with reliable configuration management to ensure all instruments on the plant are correctly configured to the design requirements specification.
High reliability
This product has been designed with high reliability applications in mind. The output stage has built in overload indication to detect overloaded output circuits - whether from a wire break or just excess resistance in the line.
* TC/mV/VC/RB universal input.
* 0 to 20 mA/0 to ±10 V/0 to ±1 mA universal output.
