Product catalog summary
Overview: The PMA Rail Line is a modular process control I/O system designed for precise measurement, control, and monitoring in industrial applications. It enhances operational reliability by providing accurate data for process variables such as temperature, pressure, humidity, weight, oxygen levels, and flow rates. The system is suitable for use in industrial ovens, environmental chambers, and the semiconductor industry.
Key Features:
  • Compact DIN rail modules (22.5mm wide) with up to 62 modules per system.
  • Field bus communication compatibility with PLC systems.
  • Configurable fail-safe mode and hot swap capability for module replacement without downtime.
  • Plug-in terminals for easy installation and maintenance.
Components:
  • Transmitter Modules: UNIFLEX CI 45 and SG 45 for universal and special-purpose applications, respectively.
  • Controller Modules: KS 45 for flexible PID control with self-tuning capabilities.
  • Temperature Limiter: TB 45 for reliable temperature monitoring and limit setting.
  • I/O Modules: Digital and analog inputs/outputs for various sensor types.
  • Field Bus Couplers: Integration with Profibus, CAN, Modbus TCP/RTU, and Profinet for seamless communication with higher-level systems.
Communication and Configuration: The system supports local configuration and status display, with options for RS485 Modbus communication. The BluePort® front port interface and BlueControl® PC configuration tool facilitate easy setup, parameter setting, and system diagnostics.
Benefits:
  • Cost-effective and convenient connections to PLCs and operating terminals.
  • Space-saving design with inter-module connections without wiring.
  • Reliable copying and archiving of device parameters.
  • Fast configuration and commissioning with built-in device and process simulation.
