APPLICATION
Measuring transducer MI450 is designed for use in industrial
process for conversion of nonlinear resistance sensors (RTD –
sensors) in to appropriate DC current or DC voltage signal. The
analogue output signal is proportional to the measured value
and it is appropriate for regulation of analogue and digital
devices with reasonable dependence on environmental
conditions, where they are planned to be used.
LAYOUT AND MODE OF OPERATION
Resistance on the input terminals can be measured with three
methods, two, three or four wire connection. In all cases U-I
method is used for measuring. Enforced current causes a
voltage drop (A - Picture 2) on measured RTD sensor which is
supplied to the programmable amplifier B. After A/D conversion
the signal is computed in microprocessor C. The measured value
determined by the microprocessor is assigned to the
programmable analogue output E. Communication D enables
programming of the measuring transducer and monitoring of
the measuring resistance on the input terminal.
Communication, analogue output and auxiliary power supply
are electrically insulated from other system by means of
separation transformer.

PROGRAMMING
Input and output values are programmed
1)
with MiQen setting
software via RS232 or RS485 communication. Before setting the
transducer, output value must be selected by the jumpers on
the output module
2)
. It is possible to choose between three
ranges 0…±10 V, 0…±5 mA and 0…±20 mA. Within this three
ranges it is possible to set any linear or bent (with maximum 5
break points) output characteristic.
1)
– Programming is not possible in versions without communication
2)
– Qualified person only
