Touch screen pyrometer hub for up to six temperature sensors
A touch screen pyrometer hub has been launched by Calex. The PM180 provides temperature measurement, configuration, alarm display and data logging for up to six non-contact infrared temperature sensors, and may be connected to other PM180 units as part of a larger system. The sensors are connected via the RS485 Modbus interface, and the password-protected touch screen interface of the PM180 allows full configuration of each sensor.
The backlit display of the pyrometer hub shows all six measured temperatures simultaneously, and the background of each temperature turns red in an alarm condition. Optional output modules also provide alarm relay and analogue (current or voltage) outputs. Each output may be individually configured via the touch screen. In addition, so that data can be imported from the hub into spreadsheet software such as Excel. it is logged to a MicroSD Card in .csv format.
The touch screen unit is tested to industrial standards for electromagnetic compatibility and is CE Marked and RoHS compliant. It is also compatible with all sensor models in the PyroBus series, as well as all Modbus models in the PyroMini series.
