PC programmable transmitters

April 2005 PLCs, DCSs & Controllers Security Services & Risk Management

KAB Instruments is offering the Datexel range of DIN Rail and 'Hockey-Puck' Headmount Smart PC programmable transmitters. The complete range of instruments carry CE and ISO9001 certification.

The instruments are fully programmable from any Windows-based laptop or PC using the user-friendly Datexel software. Once the information is downloaded onto the transmitter, there is no need for any further calibration and no future maintenance is required.

The 12,5 mm wide DIN rail versions, available with or without isolation, are programmable for thermocouple, RTD, mA, mV, V, resistance and potentiometer inputs, whilst the output can be configured for current or voltage. The 'Hockey-Puck' versions are fully programmable for thermocouple and RTD inputs. Both versions also have a fully programmable 21-point lineariser and programmable up/down burnout failsafe feature. These units can be configured with 4 to 20 mA, HART, Profibus or Foundation Fieldbus.
