  • In its most basic form, the PDW90 consists of field units (up to 32) that accept 4-20 mA signals and transmits them wirelessly to a base station. The primary advantage of this system is how simple and economical it is to get multiple signals (not just 4-20 mA, also discrete (digital) and Modbus) from where you have them to where you need them – all without having to run wires!

    The wireless communication between the field units and the base station is bi-directional. That means you can send 4-20 mA, discrete and Modbus signals from the field units to the base station and also send completely different 4-20 mA, discrete and Modbus signals from the base station to the field units. For instance, the field unit could send a 4-20 mA signal to the base station corresponding to the level in a tank and the base station could send a 4-20 mA sig-nal to the field unit to control a valve.

    Field units are also equipped with four digital I/O that can each be independently programmed as an input or an output. A Loss of Signal warning is also available by connecting devices to the G and LS screw terminals.

    To indicate alarm situations in the field, the field unit can be equipped with an optional, field installable, two relays module. These relays are rated Form A (SPST) 5A and are controlled by the digital outputs on the base station.

    The base stations are available in configurations for 2, 6, or 16 I/O slots for a variety of field installable I/O modules. The available I/O modules are:

    • •Dual Analog Input
    • •Dual Analog Output
    • •Dual Relay Output
    • •Four Digital I/O

    The specified range between the base station and field units is 1 mile line-of-sight outdoor and 500 feet indoor and repeaters are available to extend the range. A low-cost wireless survey tool, Model PDA10, is available to test the signal strength of your application before you buy. And if the PDW90 system does not work in your application, you can return it for full credit!

  • PDWR wireless signal repeaters are used to improve the connectivity in PDW30 point to point and PDW90 point to multi-point wireless systems. They will generally increase signal range of the system by another 1 mile line-of-sight or 500 feet indoor.

    The repeaters are simple to install as they only require power and a network ID. Any PDW wireless units in range of the repeater with the same network ID will retransmit through it, thus increasing signal strength.

    PDWR repeaters can be used to broadcast over very long distances or around permanent obstacles.

    The PDWR repeaters are available in either aluminum or stainless steel NEMA 4X, IP68 enclosures and these enclosures contain plenty of room for field wiring connections.

  • The PD6000 is a member of the ProVu series of 1/8 DIN digital panel meters that accepts a process current (4-20 mA) or process voltage (0-5V, 1-5V, etc.) signal.

  • The SuperNova PD500 Series of PID Process & Temperature Controllers is a complete line of PID and on/off controllers. Available in popular 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 DIN sizes, and with a shallow depth behind panel of only 2.5" (63 mm) it is easy to fit into almost any panel, product, or enclosure. Voltage, current (with external resistor), and direct temperature thermocouple and RTD inputs make it an excellent choice for any control application requiring easy to change, visible set points. This modern line of controllers shows the process variable (PV), set value (SV), and manipulated value (output level%, MV) on a striking reverse polarity LCD screen. Indicators for units (˚C, ˚F,%, or none) Auto and manual control modes can be easily changed by holding two buttons, and this is indicated on the front panel to make it easy for operators to know how to use this feature. Main control outputs can be 4-20 mA (SCR), voltage pulse (SSR), or relay outputs. A secondary relay control output is standard, which allow for one or two direction SV control (i.e., heating and cooling). Additional outputs may include two SPST alarm relays and a 4-20 mA retransmit output. Other options include a secondary 4-20 mA input to remotely control the set point, and RS-485 for Modbus communication. A mini-USB port may be used for a direct PC connection to run the SuperNova software for monitoring, programming, and data logging. This USB port is located on the rear behind the panel for PD510 1/16 DIN models, and on the front behind a rubber tab on PD520 and PD530 1/8 and 1/4 DIN models.
