The ViscoScope transmitter VS-B450 connects to
any ViscoScope sensor.
The ViscoScope transmitter VS-B550 is a new
development and utilizes the latest integrated technology available. It is a
forward looking development, which has been designed in such a way, that future
developments can easily be added and integrated. Especially in conjunction with
our ViscoScope VL-300S sensor, unique customer requirements can now be
accommodated.
Safety features, which are part of the
integrated system, make applications possible, which could previously not be
handled. The integrated safety features also make it possible to cover all
ranges and temperature classes with one basic sensor design.
The ViscoScope VS-B450 electronic is configured
as a “blind” unit. A single LED provides immediate feedback to the user of
internal alarms, sensor operation and overall functionality of the
electronic.
The system features the capability to verify
the calibration and functionality of the system in-line. No special calibration
fluids are required to accomplish this. The only requirement is, that the sensor
is free of any fluid. Once the sensor is considered clean, a menu choice in the
VisConfig software puts the sensor into self check mode. Calibration and
functionality of the sensor is indicated by the software and can then be
verified. For data collection purposes via a PC compatible computer our
ViscoView® software is optionally available.
The electronic continuously monitors the
process temperature and in high process temperature applications also monitors
the coil temperature of the sensor. The fast loop PID control system, which
controls the sensor, provides a linear response and includes anti-wind-up
control. In situations where the sensor is potentially at risk, the above
features enable us to provide a safe shut down and restart of the
sensor.
Using
surface mount components provides for a compact design. The standard size can be
accommodated by many housings, which are available in many choices. The
dimensions are 3HE x 21TE and approximately 180 mm deep.
Optional
multiple analog as well as a serial interface (MODBUS-Protocol) guarantee the
connection of the ViscoScope VS-B450 electronics to any process control system,
a PC or a recorder. The serial interface automatically switches to the front of
the electronics, if the special optional cable is being used. This provides easy
access at the front of the electronics for field side configuration and quick
data collection via a PC computer or PDA. The front plug also enables factory
trained service personal to fully examine the internal operation of the entire
system, without even removing the electronics from its housing..
The
ViscoScope VS-B450 electronics is compatible with the ViscoScope sensor VA-300.
It is configured as a 19” rack design and is available in different housing
configurations. It is factory upgradable to model
