A0028746
1 PLC (programmable logic controller)
2 2 transmitter power supply units, e.g. RN221N (with communication resistor)
3 Connection for Commubox FXA191, FXA195 and Field Communicator
4 HART handheld terminal, e.g. Field Communicator
5 Computer with operating tool
6 Commubox FXA191 (RS232) or FXA195 (USB), FXA291
7 Field Xpert
8 VIATOR Bluetooth modem with connecting cable
9 Transmitter
An analog signal (4 to 20 mA) that is in proportion to the pressure is generated in the
transmitter. This is sent to a downstream logic unit (e.g. PLC, limit signal transmitter, etc.)
where it is monitored to determine whether it is below or above a specified limit value.
For fault monitoring, the logic unit must be able to detect both HI alarms (≥ 21.0 mA) and
LO alarms (≤ 3.6 mA).
8.1.2 Description of use as a protective system
The device is used for the following measuring tasks:
• Level, volume or mass measurements in liquids
• Pressure measurement in liquids, gases and paste-like media in all areas of process
engineering, process measurement technology, pharmaceutics and the food industry
8.1.3 Installation conditions
