Press Release Summary:
Available as cable and compact thermometers, SITRANS TS100 and TS200 are suitable for universal use, such as detecting temperatures of machine bearings. Compact insertion thermometers have mineral insulated design that makes them flexible as well as resistant to vibration and temperatures up to 1,100°C. SITRANS TS500, available with protective tubes made of solid or welded pipe material, is designed for low to high process stresses. All support HART, PROFIBUS PA, and Foundation Fieldbus standards.
Original Press Release:
New Product Family Extends Temperature Sensor Portfolio
Introduction of the SITRANS TS100, TS200 and TS500 product lines
Modular design opens up a wide range of applications
Supports the HART, PROFIBUS PA and Foundation Fieldbus communication standards
The Siemens Industry Automation Division has extended its range of temperature sensors to include the SITRANS TS product family. The new resistance thermometers and thermocouples are designed for universal use. The device line has a modular design, and offers a large range of sizes, materials, sensors and transmitters. It not only supports the central communication standards HART, PROFIBS PA and Foundation Fieldbus, but is also certified under ATEX and IECEx, which enables the devices to be used worldwide. SITRANS TS is therefore suitable for both basic and highly demanding applications throughout the entire process industry.
The modular SITRANS TS product family consists of the three product lines SITRANS TS100, TS200 and TS500. They are suitable for a wide range of applications in the process industry, such as in the fields of chemicals, oil, gas and power.
The product portfolio is clearly structured. Certain designs are certified under ATEX and IECEx as being flameproof for gas and dust, intrinsically safe, and Ex n. This has advantages for globally active users, especially in the fields of logistics, inventory management and documentation.
The SITRANS TS100 and TS200 product series are available as cable and compact thermometers. This makes them especially suitable for universal use, such as detecting the temperatures of machine bearings. The compact insertion thermometers can also be used in confined spaces, and their mineral insulated design makes them not only flexible but also resistant to vibrations and high temperatures up to +1,100 degrees Celsius. The SITRANS TS500 product line is designed for applications with low to high process stresses. A selection of protective tubes made of solid or welded pipe material is available for this purpose. The user can use a wide range of process connections, connection heads, sensor types, transmitters and displays to configure individual solutions for a process. The optional 4 to 20 mA transmitters, HART, PROFIBUS PA and Foundation Fieldbus enable devices to be easily integrated into the operating tools of process control systems, such as SIMATIC PDM.
