Module enables field-replacement of transducer electronics.
Press Release Summary:
Micropulse(TM) Rapid Replacement Module (RRM) facilitates change-out of rod-style transducer electronics by allowing field replacement without removal of pressure tube from hydraulic cylinder. During replacement process, there is no danger from oil spillage and no need for environmental containment procedures. Module is dimensionally identical to Z style Micropulse(TM) transducers and available for all Balluff transducer types, except Profibus, CANopen, and ProSet 4.

New Micropulse(TM) Rapid Replacement Module (RRM) Allows Quick Field Replacement of Electronics for Rod-Style Linear Transducers
Field-replaceable electronics module cuts downtime and allows easy electronics replacement without removing probe from hydraulic cylinder
FLORENCE, KY (July 2005) - Balluff's new Rapid Replacement Module (RRM) cuts equipment downtime and makes change-out of transducer electronics quick and easy by allowing rapid field replacement without removal of the pressure tube from the hydraulic cylinder. During the replacement process, there is no danger from oil spillage and no need for environmental containment procedures. There is also no need to bleed air from the hydraulic system and no danger of dirt entering the open hydraulic port. Finally. there is no danger of repair personnel getting burned by hot oil.
Complete exchange of the sensor electronics module eliminates guesswork and the need to modify any component during the exchange process. Balluff RRMs are dimensionally identical to standard Balluff Z style Micropulse(TM) transducers. Balluff RRMs are also backward-compatible with existing standard Balluff pressure tubes. RRMs are available for all Balluff transducer types except Profibus, CANopen, and ProSet 4.
