Analog/Bus Transmitter links any signal to bus system.

Press Release Summary:




Intended for process industry, PRetrans 6350 converts RTD/TC temperature signals and mA/mV signals for both PROFIBUS® PA and FOUNDATION(TM) Fieldbus systems. Switch between bus protocols is carried out through autoswitch principle. Both protocols offer polynomial linearization, transmitter calibration, PID regulation, and diagnosing, while FOUNDATION Fieldbus also includes Link Active Scheduler.



Original Press Release:



Finally the Processing Industry Has the Long-Expected Analogue / Bus Transmitter



The transmitter contains both PROFIBUS® PA and FOUNDATION(TM) Fieldbus protocols

With the launch of PRetrans 6350 a favourable solution to convert RTD-/TC temperature signals and mA-/mV signals for both PROFIBUS® PA and FOUNDATION(TM) Fieldbus systems is now available on the market.

PR electronics is one of the first to introduce an analogue / bus converter which can be used in the processing industry to link any signal to the bus system. Typically, only part of the plant is attached to the bus system in the production process. Until now the costs of replacing the process equipment from traditional analogue signalling to bus have been vast. Now, analogue signals can be converted to bus signals at a relatively small expense with the new bus transmitter PRetrans 6350.

Multi-purpose features

Besides the mA-/mV input the PRetrans 6350 has inputs for all customary measurements of temperature, ohmic signals from valves, potentiometer inputs from e.g. level sensors and so on. This makes the PRetrans 6350 the ideal universal transmitter / converter for bus installations.

The transmitter contains both PROFIBUS® PA and FOUNDATION(TM) Fieldbus protocols. The switch between the two bus protocols is carried out through the PR electronics' autoswitch- principle. The two protocols offer a number of unique features:

o Polynomial linearization

o Transmitter calibration

o PID regulation

o LAS (Link Activate Scheduler) in FOUNDATION(TM) Fieldbus

o Diagnosing

PRetrans 6350 is guaranteed for 5 years like all other products from PR electronics.
