11.1 Function and system construction
11.1.1 Function
Function Electronic monitoring and transformation of various input signals into an analogue
output signal in industrial temperature measurement. The head transmitter is mounted
in a connection head form B or separated from the sensor in field housing. Setting up of
the head transmitter is done using the HART
®
Protocol using the hand operating module
(DXR 275) or PC (Commuwin II).
11.1.2 Measurement system
Measurement system Transforming the following input signals:
• Resistance thermometers (RTD) and resistance sensors (in 2-,3- or 4-wire connection
systems)
• Thermocouples (TC) and
• Voltage sensors into a scalable analogue output signal (4...20 mA or 20...4 mA).
Fault monitoring of:
• Measurement range override or undercut
• Sensor breakage and short circuit
