R&C Instrumentation is pleased to announce the launch of a wide range of ZigBee Wireless sensors and system components manufactured by Industrial Interface UK.
Wireless transmitters are available for RTD, thermocouple, vibration (mA and voltage inputs) and these can be either battery powered or powered from any 3-36 VDC supply.
Battery life is typically 2-5 years for update rates of 1 s to an hour.
In addition an interface to any existing 2 wire 4-20mA loop can be implemented using the Z Head unit that runs the existing 2 wire system from internal batteries and requires no external power. This device can be networked back to a single or multiple Z-PORT system and then via serial communications, or single 4-20 mA back to the control system.
The Z-PORT ZigBee Network Coordinator can receive up to 1028 process variables from wireless sensors and make them available to any Ethernet or RS232/485 network. Communication protocols include standards such as Modbus RTU although any custom protocol can be programmed into the unit at the factory.
Z-PORT features a local display which can be used to obtain the current value of any of the wireless sensors connected, together with other details such as signal strength and the time since last update.
Other products in the range include the Z-200 cable replacement system and the Z-ROOT ZigBee router, which can be used to extend the range of a ZigBee network.
Paint curing applications in the automotive industry R&C Instrumentation
Temperature Measurement
For successful paint cure, irrespective of the paint chemistry being used, there is a critical need to measure and control the temperature of the car body as it travels through the oven. Today, paint ovens are controlled in a sophisticated fashion via thermocouples located in each zone to give constant feedback on the ambient temperature.
