Paroscientific Intelligent Transmitters consist of a Digiquartz® Pressure Transducer and a digital interface board in an integral package. Commands and data requests are sent via two-way RS-232 or RS-485 serial interfaces. Direct digital outputs in engineering units are provided with parts-perbillion resolution using the built-in, anti-aliasing IIR filter mode. Typical accuracy is 0.01% even under harsh environmental conditions. All intelligent transmitters are preprogrammed with calibration coefficients for full plug-in interchangeability.
Intelligent transmitters are available in 20 absolute pressure ranges from 15 psia (0.10 MPa) to 40,000 psia (276 MPa), and 7 gauge pressure ranges from ± 2 psig (±0.015 MPa) to 200 psig (0.15 MPa). Dual RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces allow complete remote configuration and control of all operating parameters, including resolution, sample rate, choice of engineering units, integration time, and sampling requests. Commands include: Single sample and send, synchronized sample and hold, continuous sample and send, and special burst sampling modes.
Features include support for both serial loop and multi-drop networking, high-speed continuous pressure measurements, selectable baud rates up to 115,200 baud, synchronization of measurements with time-based integration, 2 or 4 wire RS485 transmission distances greater than 1 kilometer, a power management “sleep” mode, data formatting features, and unit identification commands.
