Product catalog summary
Overview: The MPI-8 (MPI-8/4) is an electronic recorder designed for multipoint measurements across various parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure. It supports both eight-channel and four-channel configurations, with several input and output options tailored for industrial applications.
Key Features:
  • Six versions of measurement inputs, including 0/4-20 mA analog inputs with power supply (version -P).
  • Graphic LCD screen with a resolution of 32 x 128 points and white backlight for displaying measurement data.
  • Data recording capability on removable SD/MMC cards, supporting up to 2 GB of storage.
  • RS-485 communication port with ASCII and Modbus RTU protocols, and optional Ethernet port with Modbus TCP protocol.
  • Alarm and control functions with five relay outputs and optional 4-20 mA analog output.
Applications: Suitable for distributed measurement systems, industrial environments like grocery, steel, and glass-making industries, and production line control.
Measurement Data Recording: Data can be recorded at user-defined intervals ranging from 3 seconds to 24 hours. The device supports two independent recording speeds and data can be transferred via RS-485, Ethernet, or directly from the SD/MMC card.
Communication Ports: The RS-485 port allows configuration and data reading, supporting Modbus RTU and ASCII protocols. The optional Ethernet port enables integration into industrial networks and data access via web browsers.
Alarm and Control System: Each channel can be programmed with up to four alarm levels, triggering alarms or changing relay states upon threshold breaches.
Technical Specifications:
  • Input Types: RTD, TC, and 0/4-20 mA with various configurations and galvanic separation options.
  • Display: Backlight LCD with membrane keyboard.
  • Outputs: Optional 4-20 mA analog output and five semiconductor relay outputs.
  • Power Supply: 24V AC or 20-30V DC with a typical power consumption of 2W.
  • Environmental Conditions: Operating temperature range of 0 to +50°C, with storage conditions from -10 to +70°C.
Accessories: Includes converters for USB/RS-485 and Ethernet/RS-485, data visualization software, SD cards, card readers, and power supply transformers.

MPI-8 (MPI-8/4) EIGHT-CHANNELS (FOUR-CHANNELS) ELECTRONIC RECORDER Six different versions of measurement inputs Power supply for 0/4-20 mA analog inputs from device (only for version –P) Graphic LCD screen 32 x 128 points with white backlight Periodically displaying few or all measurement channels Data recording on removable SD/MMC card (electronic recorder) RS-485 communication port, ASCII and Modbus RTU protocols, software for visualization Ethernet port optionally, Modbus TCP protocol, data reading through web browser Alarm and control functions, 5 relay outputs 4-20 mA analog output optionally APPLICATIONS: Multipoint measurements of: temperature, humidity, pressure and other values with recording Work in distributed measurement systems with local record of measurement results Grocery, steel and glass-making industry, warehouses and production line control MPI-8 (MPI-8/4), 3.0 version – new, updated third generation, produced from years device: Applied graphic LCD screen allows visualization of large numbers and graphical presentation of measurement values in graph form, Input circuits were modernized, new options guarantee cheaper measurement ability in different temperature sensors configuration and 0/4-20 mA current loop signals Port with Modbus TCP protocol allows connecting device to industrial Ethernet networks, 4-20 mA analog output allows retransmission signal from one of measurement channel. MEASUREMENT DATA RECORDING Device allows electronic data registration of measurement values on removable SD/MMC memory card with up to 2 GB capacity. Card is in socked on device back plate. Data are stored until card is full or in continuously mode with overwriting oldest records. Recording speed is set by user in wide range: from 3 seconds to 24 hours. Recording can be done with two independent speeds switched when measurement value exceeds alarm level. Copy data to computer can be done in two ways: through RS-485 or Ethernet port or by plug out memory card and reading stored data using card reader directly connected with computer. On card data are stored in text format and can be opened with the text editor, spreadsheet or easy in use MPI-8v3-Raport program. Program allows data selection, averaging, looking for minimum and maximum, browsing and printing reports in graph and table form. User can also read data “online” and show them in graph, table or synoptic screen form, with a draw or picture on background.
