The display series from PR electronics is characterized by its flexibility and stability. The user can handle the configuration himself via PC, dipswitches or directly at the display front, if the display is not configured from factory according to customer requirements. Operating parameters such as limit values, relay postponement, scaling and placement of commas can also be changed by use of these tools.

In the display-series the following are available:

• 57xx: 4-digit LED, front key / pc programmable, 48x96 mm
• 5531: 4-digit LCD instrument for Ex and standard applications, 48x96 mm

The 57xx series
These displays are so-called “Value for money” products due to their high quality and very competitive prices. In addition, the displays manage to meet almost every demand for display readout of process signals. The displays have universal input and supply capabilities and are thus unique compared to other displays at this price level. This distinctive also makes the 57xx-series an interesting module for private labels. Finally, the 57xx-modules are front programmable and have a tightness of IP65. In addition to this, the 5715 can be programmed via pc to perform advanced functions such as process calibration and linearization.

The 5531
This display is loop-powered and suitable for both I.S. and standard applications. As an I.S. variant the display can be installed in zone 0, 1 and 2. The visibility in darkness is a unique feature of this display due to the flexible setting of luminosity.

Intrinsic safety, I.S., interfaces are implemented between the process sensors and the major control system. The transmitted signal from the I.S. interfaces can be analogue, digital or HART®.

PR electronics’ I.S. interfaces are marketed worldwide and designed to meet the terms of the strictest international standards from the process industry. Thus, the modules for I.S. signal conditioning comply with both American and European standards.

ATEX is the name of a European directive concerning material for hazardous atmospheres. The I.S. interfaces are adapted to this directive and meet the demands of the EN 50014, EN 50020 and EN 50282-1-1. Thus, the I.S. interfaces are certified to function as associated equipment for potential hazardous atmospheres. According to the ATEX directive the I.S. interfaces from PR electronics can function in the following potential hazardous areas:

• Group 2 (surface industry)
• Zones: Zones 0, 1, 2 for inflammables gas, mists and vapors as well as Zones 20, 21, 22 for inflammable dust.

Furthermore, several of the I.S. interfaces are certified according to the UL 913 - the American I.S. standard. These modules can be used in connection with the following areas:

• Class I, Division 1, Group A, B, C, D; Zone 0 & 1, Group II C (gas)
• Class II, Division 1, Group E, F, G (dust)

The universal uniqueness of the 5000B-series offers the customer many concrete advantages:

• Alarm functions for cable and sensor errors for process optimization.
• Quick response time optimizing the process.
• Technology making the I.S. earth connection unnecessary.
• Transmission of HART® signals with high galvanic isolation.
• Diagnosis via AMS function.

A range of universal trouble-shooters
Our 2200- and 5000A-series constitute a complete range of isolators covering the entire spectrum within signal isolation. The patented STREAMSHIELD principle is integrated in the 5000A-series and ensures high immunity against e.g. conducted noise, transients and burst. The isolation modules handle the following functions:

• Signal adaptation
• Elimination of ground loops
• Scaling of process values
• Potential separation
• Galvanic separation
• Noise filtration

Easy configuration of the 5000A-series with PReset

Flexibility is one keyword for the 5000-series of signal isolators. Within a few minutes the modules are configured to the concrete application with the user-friendly PReset software or dipswitches. Consequently, the user has easy access to:

• Inversion: When the relation between input and output is directly opposite. Example: A 4…20 mA input signal is inversed to 20…4 mA.
• Signal scaling: If the focus area needs to be e.g. 4…8 mA the signal can be scaled.
• Custom linearization: At e.g. measurement in cylindrical, horizontal tanks the incoming signal curve has to be changed every now and then. Thus, the linearization capability must be used to convert the 4…20 mA signal from a vertical level sensor to a volume linear signal.
• Doubling: In some cases the conversion of an input signal to several output signals such as mA and V is appropriate. In signal isolators from PR electronics the doubled signals are galvanic protected.

PR electronics’ temperature transmitters cover every application within transmission of RTD and TC sensor signals into mA, mV, HART, PROFIBUS® PA and FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus communication. The product range includes:

Thus, the trip amplifiers observe the process, control the pumps and burner due to water level and steam pressure and sound the alarm at e.g. an inappropriate high or low water level. Naturally, boiler control is a safety question, and thus, the trip amplifiers must be very reliable and precise.
