Via the Power Rail PR3 or UPR3 the devices are supplied with 24 V DC by means of the power feed modules. Each power feed module is used for fusing and monitoring groups with up to individual devices. he Power Rail PR3 is an inset component for the D rail. he Power Rail UPR3 is a complete unit consisting of the electrical inset and an aluminium profile rail 3 mm x 1 mm x mm. o make electrical contact, the devices are simply engaged. he Power Rail must not be fed via the device terminals of the individual devices! f no Power Rails are used, power supply of the individual devices is realised directly via their device terminals. 3
otes Function he basis of the device is a microprocessor, which is responsible for the linearisation of the characteristics of the corresponding thermocouple, thermocouple junction compensation, lead breakage evaluation and measurement range adjustment. n the input circuit there is always one amplifier for the thermoelectric voltage terminals 7, 8 and for the sensor for thermocouple junction compensation. A current source is used for the lead breakage monitoring. he current source sends a current of approx. na through the instrument lead. he output values of both amplifiers are transferred to the microprocessor by means of a multiplexer and a digitiser. he microprocessor processes both measurement values according to the functions adjusted by means of the DP switch and offers a current signal proportional to the output via the digitaltoanalogue converter. he output can be chosen by the user between ma... 2 ma or 4 ma... 2 ma (voltage output on demand). hermocouples ype in accordance with D EC 84, section 1 R S B J E K Pt13RhPt Pt1RhPt Pt3RhPt6Rh FeCui CuCui icrcui icri in accordance with BS 4937: Part. 8 Adjustment example: part of a housing side piece platinum 13 %, rhodium/platinum platinum 1 %, rhodium/platinum platinum 3 % rhodium/platinum 6 % rhodium iron/coppernickel copper/coppernickel nickelchrome/coppernickel nickelchrome/nickel icrsi/imgsi O for upscaling the output in case of lead breakage OFF for downscaling the output in case of lead breakage Starting point Span O for 4 ma... 2 ma OFF for ma... 2 ma O (1) ype OFF () Adjustment example ype J () Starting point C () Range C (1) Cold junction compensation O Lead breakage monitoring Upscaling Output ma... 2 ma O for cold junction compensation 4
