General Description
The SS 3018 device can receive up to 8 analog input signals. Data values are transmitted via MODBUS RTU/ASCII protocol to the RS-485 network (an RS-232 interface is available).
It is possible to connect thermocouples or voltage signals up to +/- 1V.
Cold junction compensation for thermocouples is performed internally.
By means of a 16-bit converter, the device guarantees high accuracy and stable measurement with respect to time and temperature.
To ensure plant safety, two Watch-Dog timer alarms are provided.
The 2000 Vac isolation between inputs, power supply and serial line removes any grounding effects, allowing the device to be used even in harsh environmental conditions.
The SS 3018 complies with the 89/336/EEC directive on electromagnetic compatibility.
The device is housed in a rugged self-extinguishing plastic case which, thanks to its slim profile of only 17.5 mm, allows high-density mounting on a standard EN-50022 DIN rail.
