Electrical Properties Transducer Communicates Over RS485 BUSS



CR Magnetics, Inc. has introduced a new Series 5100 Electrical Properties Digital Transducers. The units connect directly to single and three phase electrical systems up to 25 Aac and 300 Vac and transmit data over a RS485 buss. Parameters are measured with a 4th order Delta Sigma A/D converter and communicate 16 bit resolution data at rates up to 19.7K bits. Up to 64 transducers can be separately addressable on a single buss with 256 different addresses available.

Electrical parameters such as true RMS current, true RMS voltage, active power, reactive power, power factor and frequency are measured and instantly readable over the
communication buss. A major feature of the transducer is the ability to monitor bi-directional active and reactive, power and energy.

A RS485 to RS232 converter is available for easy programming and use from any serial port on a PLC, PC or data acquisition unit. Available is a PC based software package that allows easy setup, and troubleshooting. The software features a real-time graph to monitor all of the measured parameters.

Units feature heartbeat and communication LEDs on the top of the transducer to monitor the communication activity. The transducer measures 3.0" high by 3.27" wide by 1.42" deep and can be surface mounted or installed on a 35 mm din rail.
