The PCH420V series sensors are velocity transmitters with 4-20mA outputs and the added capability of digital communications using the HART 7.2 protocol. The HART functionality allows user configuration of the sensors, enables multi-drop cable installations and allows the sensor to communicate directly with a HART-enabled DCS or PLC.
The benefits are a sensor that can be configured by the user for a number of different full-scale ranges and filter settings, a reduction in the required cabling, and simple connection to existing plant infrastructure. Digital sensors allow improved connectivity into plant networks improving efficiency and simplifying decision-making about machinery health.
