Description

P32100 Sensor Transmitter | Input wide selection of sensors and resistors | For safety circuits up to SIL3 | Configuration interface for PC

The universal transmitters for temperature measurement with resistance thermometers and thermocouples - in a 6-mm housing with infrared interface and SIL approval.

  • Universal usability
    from simple to challenging measurement demands with all known temperature sensors
  • Convenient setting of all parameters
    via IrDA interface. Uncomplicated, menu-guided adjustment also “on site” including archiving of configuration data
  • Intuitive configuration
    of basic parameters – easy, without tools, using 4 rotary and 8 DIP switches
  • Calibrated range selection
    No complicated adjusting
  • Automatic detection
    of the sensor connection (2-, 3- or 4-wire)
  • Protective separation
    according to EN 61140. Protection of maintenance staff and subsequent devices against excessively high voltages up to 300 V AC/DC
  • Functional safety
    up to SIL 2 (up to SIL 3 in case of redundant configuration) with TÜV certificate. Systematically developed according to EN 61508
  • High accuracy
    due to innovative circuit design
  • Minimum space consumption
    in the enclosure - modular housing: just 6 mm wide - more transmitters per meter of DIN rail
  • Low-cost assembly
    Quick mounting, convenient connection of power supply through DIN rail bus connectors (in case of 24 V DC power supply)
  • 5-year warranty

The universal P32100 temperature transmitters provide connection possibilities for all common thermocouples and resistance thermometers. They can be flexibly adapted to the respective measuring task using DIP and rotary encoder switches or via an IrDA port.

3-port isolation with protective separation up to 300 V AC/DC according to EN 61140 ensures optimal protection of personnel and equipment as well as unaltered transmission of the measurement signals. The P32100 offer maximum performance in the smallest of spaces.

Resistance thermometers can be operated in 2-, 3- or 4-wire configuration. The connection configuration is automatically recognized, adjustment is not required. All standard thermocouples can be read with internal or external reference junction compensation.

Input voltage signals up to +/- 1000 mV are converted into 0/4 to 20 mA or 0 to 10 V standard signals. This enables low-cost implementation of current measurements using shunt resistors, for example.
Special measuring tasks can be solved with ThermoTrans devices which Knick configures according to individual specifications. Fixed-range devices without switches are used, for example, when manipulations or mix-ups must be precluded.

For applications requiring a high level of functional safety, Knick offers the P32100 transmitter with SIL approval. The requirements of EN 61508 were implemented through specially developed hardware and software. The fail-safe concept makes use of structural measures at the device level (redundancy of system components) and diagnostic methods for selective fault detection. The product is SIL 2 approved (EN 61508) by an authorized body (TÜV Rheinland). SIL 3 in redundant implementations.

Knick Products Comply With UL - What Does That Mean?

There are different assessments and approaches to reach an adequate level of safety. Manufacturers are typically on the “safe” side, if they comply with recognized standards.

We look forward to hearing from you!
