A complete measuring point consists of a measuring insert which contains the sensor elements, the protective fitting and an optional measurement value processor (transmitter).
The sensor elements are:
Resistance thermometers: Temperature measurement is based on the temperature dependency of the installed measuring resistor.
Thermocouples: Temperature measurement is based on the Seebeck effect. A thermocouple which subjected to a temperature drop produces thermoelectric voltage that can be measured.
Transmitters:
The optional Siemens transmitters assume the following functions:
Optimum measurement processing
Strengthening of weak sensor signals directly on site
Transmit standardized signals
Protect against electromagnetic interspersion
Option to conduct measuring point diagnostics
The resistance thermometer is intended for installation in containers and pipelines for hygienic requirements.
Modular design consisting of protective pipe, measuring insert, connection head and optional transmitter for replacement during operation.
Hygienic version, design according to recommendations of the EHEDG
Transmitter can be integrated (4 to 20 mA, PROFIBUS PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus)
