Product catalog summary
Overview
Pulsar Measurement's dBi Intelligent Transducers utilize the Profibus PA protocol to provide digital communication for level and volume measurement in both liquids and solids. These transducers are designed for outdoor applications with IP68 protection and offer temperature compensation for enhanced accuracy.
Specifications
The transducers operate with a fixed current of 20mA and support various drivers including GSD, EDDL, and FDT/DTM. They are available in different models (dBi3, dBi6, dBi10, dBi15) with varying measurement ranges, frequencies, and beam angles. The housing is made of Valox 357 PBT, and they operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
Programming and Communication
Programming can be done using PLC/HMI with Profibus network, providing support for echo traces, diagnostics, and maintenance functions. The transducers can be operated via a PC using Pulsar's proprietary software and a USB-powered PA modem.
Functional Qualities
The transducers feature Pulsar's DATEM echo processing software, which enhances echo discrimination and accuracy. They are designed for easy calibration and maintenance-free operation, suitable for a wide range of applications.
Installation Options
Various mounting options are available, including threaded, flange-mounted, and chemical-resistant bodies. Installation aids such as brackets and aiming kits are also offered.
Technical Support
Pulsar Measurement provides global support and training through its offices in the UK, USA, Canada, and Malaysia, ensuring comprehensive service throughout the product's lifetime.

dBi Profibus Intelligent Transducers-1

dBi PROFIBUS INTELLIGENT TRANSDUCERS Using high data speed available with Profibus PA to provide full digital communications from a DATEM-enabled transducer. Self-contained Transducers with Profibus PA Protocol. Pulsar Measurement’s dBi Transducers use Profibus PA profile 3.0.2 with low power consumption. Fixed current at 20mA. Fully potted to IP68 for outdoor applications, dBi transducers are temperature compensated for increased accuracy and offer volume conversion to a variety of standard tank shapes or 16-point curve fit. The product range supports GSD, EDDL, and FDT/DTM drivers. Using PLC/HMI with Profibus network that: a) supplies GSD Version 3.0 with predefined parameter blocks in cyclic or non-cyclic modes; b) supplies EDDL to provide full support for acquiring / logging of echo traces, diagnostics, and full maintenance I&M functions according to IEC 61804-3 standards; c) supplies (on request) FDT/DTM direct to HMI software to provide enhanced diagnostic /commissioning capabilities. THE RIGHT SENSOR FOR • Liquids & Solids Measurement • Level & Volume Measurement • Remote Level Monitoring • Tank Level Monitoring • Profibus PA Communication By using Pulsar Measurement’s proprietary PC software with USB powered PA modem, the transducer can be operated and is fully functional from a laptop or desktop PC without an additional power supply, providing easy setup.
