Direct transfer of high-precision measurement values: new communication unit for the HG-S series

The new RS485 communication unit for the HG-S sensor series is used to transfer high-precision measurement values directly, making data traceability easier than before. Communication does not only work for measurement values, but also for parameters, making it easy to manage inspection results and identify causes in the event of a failure.

Installation example

 

In a network installation, a PLC and a computer can be used to control a number of stations remotely. Each station consists of a master, up to 14 slaves, and the SC-HG1-485 communication unit. The maximum number of stations is limited by the communication protocol selected: 99 stations for MODBUS (RTU/ASCII) and 64 stations for MEWTOCOL-COM.

  1. Station consisting of a master sensor, up to 14 slave sensors, and the SC-HG1-485 communication unit
  2. Two protocols available:
    – MODBUS (RTU/ASCII) for connection of up to 99 stations
    – MEWTOCOL-COM for connection of up to 64 stations
  3. Programmable controller FP7 series
  4. PC for analysis and cause investigation
  5. Web server for data logging
