Temperature is the most widely monitored process variable for industrial facilities. Whether these temperature measurements are utilized for control or supervisory purposes, gathering dozens or even hundreds of points is not only costly but technically challenging too. When you are faced with this requirement consider the TCS Temperature Concentrator System. The TCS consists of one or more 16 channel TCM Temperature Concentrator Modules where each channel can be configured for Thermocouple, RTD, Potentiometer, ohms or millivolt inputs, and then outputs those readings via HART protocol. Once configured, up to eight TCMs can be connected to a HES HART-to-Ethernet System so you can send up to 128 temperature signals over your high-speed Ethernet backbone to your monitoring or control system.
The HES utilizes a device-specific HART command enabling it to gather all 16 temperature readings in one message, in less than one second. The HES supports MODBUS/TCP and HART-IP industrial protocols and includes a built-in web server so even an off-the-shelf web browser like Chrome or Microsoft Edge can be used to view or monitor your temperature points. The TCM is intrinsically safe and approved for use in hazardous areas.
Key Attributes:
• Up to eight TCMs can be connected to each HES
• Each HES supports 128 points of temperature monitoring over Ethernet
• TCM is intrinsically safe approved for use in hazardous areas
• The HES utilizes a HART device specific command for high speed monitoring
