The wireless sensors and system components manufactured by Industrial Interface UK allow users to connect any existing 2 wire 4-20 mA output transmitter in a full wireless network configuration. Wireless devices are also available with RTD, thermocouple and pressure transmitters, which can be battery powered or supplied from any 3-36 VDC source. Battery life is typically 2-5 years for update rates from 1 second to 1 hour.
Interfacing to any existing 2 wire 4-20 mA loop with the Z Head unit is wireless and powers the existing 2 wire system from the internal batteries. Sample times are normally from 5 to 10 minutes, but this can be taken down to seconds by introducing a solar pack to maintain battery charge. The system is suited for rotating or difficult to reach equipment, or when it is not possible to connect a 2 wire system in the measurement area.
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 at the factory. The unit features a local display which can be used to obtain the current value of any of the connected sensors 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, designed to 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.
