Special 6 Metre Temperature Sensors For "Green Energy" Production

Sun, 03 Jun 2007 23:09:35 +0200

The sensors are supplied with a steel protective tube and an interchangeable ceramic inner tube and are used to monitor temperatures of around 1200° - 1300° C in two boilers as part of a new flux firing system. They conform to standard class 2 according to IEC 584 thermocouple type N. The sensor is mounted through the top of the furnace to a depth of approximately 700 mm.

Modbus Protocol Offered with Serial Output Temperature Transmitters

Sun, 04 Mar 2007 02:45:06 +0100

The transmitters fit a 35 mm DIN rail and come with a three-terminal screw clamp connector for serial data I/O. RS485 or RS232 signal levels are jumper selectable and can each be associated with either the Modbus protocol or Laurel's simpler Laurel ASCII protocol. A single software command switches between the two protocols...
