Special Features
The sensor can be mounted using the two threads at the underside of the housing body. Alternative it can be fixed on two flanges on the side of the unit.
Standard Features
Special features of the RS-422 interface:
- Up to 24 sensors with different tension ranges and designs may be connected in one line (data transfer max. 200 readings/sec.)
- Connection to RS-232 using a converter (RS-422 – RS-232).
- The RS-422 signal can be used for a single sensor over a distance of 1000 m.
- Each sensor can individually be addressed and set up
- Can be connected to PLC controls with digital input
- Simple connection to BUS-Systems using gateways
