Machine protection and condition
monitoring specialist, Sensonics, has
enhanced its range of DN803X series
shaft vibration and thrust position
transmitters following approval for
intrinsically safe applications.
The DN8031 (vibration) and DN8033 (thrust position) proximity probe systems are now suitable for Ex ia IIC T4 applications when used in conjunction with Sensonics ATEX approved range of AECP proximity probes and AEXC extension cables.
The 4-20mA loop powered modules provide easy integration with either the local machine PLC or a plant-wide DCS since it is powered through the safety barrier measurement loop. Signal processing is carried out within the unit giving an output current proportional to either peak-to-peak shaft vibration or relative position to the probe face.
The module permits adjustment of both gain and offset for ease of calibration to suit the application.
