ISpac isolator range features new functional safety capability

R. STAHL has extended its ISpac 9182 range of temperature transmitters by adding a new model suitable for use in safety-related process automation applications according to IEC EN 61508 / 61511. The isolator meets SIL 2 requirements. This new model therefore not only enables process plant manufacturers and operators to implement an intrinsically safe integration of virtually all types of temperature sensors into an automation system, but also ensures that all requirements concerning functional safety are fulfilled. Highly precise, high resolution conversion of measured values facilitates efficient process control. Any cable breaks or short circuits between sensor and temperature transmitter that may occur are detected and immediately brought to the attention of the plant operator via LED, error contact, and analog output signal. The compact device is easy to handle, install, start up, and operate. It is suitable for DIN rail mounting as well as for efficient integration in safety PLCs as a pac-Carrier component. ISpac 9182 temperature transmitters have a proven track record in a wide range of process automation and machine and plant construction applications worldwide. The new ISpac 9182 model now ensures an even wider application range for the versatile ISpac isolator series in the construction of safety-oriented plants in areas with explosive atmospheres.
