KF**-GUT-EX1.D Now in SIL 2
Those safety-relevant temperature measurements can now be automated with the KF**-GUT-**1.D. The combination of a temperature measurement converter with analogue output and a limit switch with 2 relays covers a wide range of applications – and all in SIL2 in line with IEC 61508. Devices supplied since 2004, from Firmware version 1.09, are therefore suitable.
KF**-GUT-EX1.D in SIL 2
The universal measured value input is processed by resistance measuring sensors in the platinum and nickel version. For thermocouple measurements a special function is available. An additional input for a redundant thermocouple provides additional safety against sensor failure and cable breakage. If a thermocouple fails, the other element takes over the measuring function with the simultaneous output of an alarm – which therefore increases the availability of your process.
A simple device for many purposes
The GUT also evaluates other signals, such as potentiometer and voltage signals, from mV to V. The operator-friendly parameterization of the devices is achieved either using touch keys and the display or with a PC and PACTware.
Two limit value relays and an analogue current output are available on the output side. The version with a wide-range power pack reduces the need for stores to stock spares with different power supply voltages for different World geographical locations.
