Signal converter of the premium class SINEAX V604s is a high-performance intelligent signal converter unit with a very high basic accuracy of 0.1 %. However, SINEAX V604s is more than a simple isolation amplier or temperature transmitter. The instrument may be adapted to the most varied measuring tasks via the MODBUS/RTU interface integrated as a standard and the CBManager software available free-of-charge. This multifunctionality in combination with very easy operation results in a wide range of applications of classical tasks, e.g. temperature measurement or signal isolation through to...

As versatile as a Swiss army knife Input variables, measuring ranges Customised adaptations SINEAX V604s may be quickly and easily adapted to the meas- uring task using CB-Manager software. Direct currents, direct voltages, resistances, potentiometers, thermocouples and resist- ance thermometers can be measured. Since the specific data is stored for all listed temperature sensors, optimum adaptation to a linear output signals is achieved. If an individual adaptation of the input signal is required, SINEAX V604s makes a basic linearisation per channel available in which up to 24 basic values...

High-level safety Personal safety SINEAX V604s offers protection for people and plants through consist- ent galvanic isolation of the input, output and power supply circuits. The instrument provides reinforced insulation according to overvoltage category III (Operating voltage 300 V) resp. according to overvoltage category II (Operating voltage 600 V) / test voltage 3.7 kV. Process safety Sensor drift Sensor drift monitoring concerns the difference of 2 input sensors. If a previously defined deviation is exceeded, an alarm can be issued. Even if the sensors to be monitored have different...

Process safety High Single temperature measurement Redundant temperature measurement Sensor redundancy If safe and comprehensive temperature measurement is required, SINEAX V604s realises redundant measurement. The instrument measures a temperature using two independent sensors. If a failure occurs in one sensor (short circuit or breakage), V604s switches to the correctly working sensor without any interruption. At the same time, the failure is indicated so that the defective sensor can be replaced. Measurement continues during the sensor change and subsequently uses both sensors again....

Load monitoring + charge + Solar cells Energy storage discharge Load Shunt - CB-Manager 4…20 mA SPS 0…20 mA Analog display (Volt) Power measurement SINEAX V604s measures direct voltages up to 600 VDC and can use them in the calculation of further variables. For example, the voltage and the current may be acquired and used directly to calculate the power. Since SINEAX V604s has several outputs, other values may be transmitted apart from power. Simultaneous monitoring of limit values does not present any problem either. P 4…20mA 4…20mA 6 Volt Watt PROCESS CONTROL ENGINEERING

Redundant temperature measurement T4/1 T4/2 T3/1 T3/2 T1/1 T1/2 The redundant measurement of critical temperatures constitutes a typical area of applications for SINEAX V604s. In refrigerated storage, for example, the documentation of uninterrupted cooling is often demanded. If the temperature deviates from the target value at the measuring points for a dened period of time or if records are not available for this period of time, the stored goods can mostly not be used any more for reasons of safety. T2/1 T2/2 Refrigerated warehouse In this case, SINEAX V604s offers a safe solution because...

Limit value/gradient monitoring Lim ON Lim OFF Y Start t dT If a sudden change of a process parameter causes problems in a plant, the change of measured values must be constantly monitored. SINEAX V604s monitors the gradients of measured values and can trigger an alarm if dened limiting values are exceeded or intervene in the process in a controlling manner. Gradient monitoring is used, for example, in: • Level monitoring (tank farms, rain retention basins, pump sumps, etc.) • Temperature monitoring in pressurised systems • Extruders • Injection moulding plants • Pasteurisation plants •...

The inputs are “decoupled“ from the outputs which means that a change at the inputs does not have a direct effect on the outputs any more. Both...

Parameterising, service and measured value acquisition CB-Manager software individually configures all SINEAX V604s variants. The software is included in every instrument delivery or is available for download free of charge from our web page www. All settings are comfortably arranged via the CB-Manager software. Users are guided step by step through the settings. Depending on the selected settings, only those functions are sub- sequently released which make sense in the respective context. The following groups may be configured: • General instrument and interface settings • Mathematical...
