Temperature monitoring on a tank
Requirement
The monitoring of temperatures is amongst the most important measuring tasks in the food industry. To ensure constant process quality, the temperature sensors used have to be regularly calibrated. This is time-consuming and expensive.
Implementation
The TAD temperature sensors use two different sensor elements which monitor each other during the process. So, occurring drift is reliably detected. Furthermore, if one element fails, the process can be continued with the second measuring element (backup function).
Customer benefits
The two high-precision and long-term stable measuring elements of the TAD temperature sensor ensure reliability and quality in the process. The temperature-proportional 4...20 mA signal enables processing via all common controllers. To ensure easy further processing the signal for the relevant temperature range is scalable. The diagnostic output warns in the event of "drift warning threshold reached" and ”drift alarm threshold reached”. ifm electronic warrants a reliable drift detection within the preset drift thresholds for a period of 5 years. The integrated ASEPTOFLEX adapter thread enables hygienic fitting to all common process adapters. The completely sealed housing guarantees protection rating IP 69 K. The selected design reduces build-up of dirt and can easily be cleaned all around.
