System Design

Sensor cable (SD/polyurethane or HD/fluoropolymer)
Connection Filter Module (CFM)
for connecting the input lead (CCA) to the sensor cable or connecting two sensor cable segments
Protection Filter Module (PFM) protects sensors against undue voltages
Cable Termination Module (CTM) to terminate the sensor cable
Processor unit (SSP or SRG)
Generic Sensor Interface (GSI) to connect external sensors
Relay Control Unit (RCU) for controlling a further 32 relays to localize the alarm

For applications in hazardous areas we offer you a special configuration of the RedGuard^® Temperature Monitoring system. The Ex version conforms to ATEX Directive 94/9/EC and is tested and approved for use in gas areas (zone 1) and dust areas (zone 21).... more

System design and connection plan

Function

Sensor data in real time
The processor unit (SSP/SRG) scans the sensor cable and converts the analog signals into Temperature Measurement values. The complete system is programmed with the RGCC configuration software. The TMON visualisation software is available for the visual presentation of the temperature profile on PC.

Define specific treshold
4 threshold values can be defined for each sensor. A further 4 threshold values are freely settable over the complete length of the sensor cable. The sensor data and operating states are scanned in real time on the interfaces. This allows unusual states to be recognised immediately and forwarded or for the alarm to be triggered.

Define treshold

Reliable alarm and fault relay output
The alarm can be programmed for latching or pulse mode. The relay contacts are controlled by means of the software or by hardware monitoring (watchdog). The yellow light diode is coupled with the fault and the red light diode is coupled with the alarm relay.

Storage of the temperature readings
All events are stored in a cyclic event logger. The event logger can be scanned through the serial interface. Furthermore, all events and also the sensor readings can be saved to a plug-in flash memory. This can be read by an external computer. It contains enough storage space to collect and file data for months.The system can be operated on its own or in combination with superordinate systems through serial interfaces..

Integration of external sensors
Additional external sensors can be connected through a sensor interface (GSI).
