The optimum measurement points for pressure and temperature data are often difficult to access for the operators on-site. Therefore sensor solutions with versatile displays and highly flexible process connections that are easy to install are in demand. Turck introduced the corresponding range of pressure sensors with the PS series last year. The TS series is now being launched on the market: intelligent, EMC proof temperature sensors with flexible connection options – either directly or via M12 standard cable – and variable output signals.
Temperatures and pressures are the most frequently measured variables. Not only do they have a direct influence on our well-being when we encounter them in a weather report, but they are also vital for safe and smooth operation of machines and systems. Pressure and temperature measurement also have something else in common: in addition to accuracy or reproducibility, the interfaces to the process and to the operator are also very important.
At the site of the action
For optimum detection of the process variable the sensor must be located as close as possible to the ‘site of the action’, which is certainly possible with correct selection of the process interface. As the measurement points usually have the unpleasant feature that they are frequently located outside the observation field of the operator, flexible installation options for the processing and display unit is particularly important.
With the interface to the operator on site, flexibility is just as important as the interface to higher level systems which can be implemented via different electrical outputs. For Turck, the identical demands placed on temperature and pressure measurement were reason enough to develop two product families on the same platform.
