Profibus Connected

Hamilton’s Arc-sensors can now be integrated into process control systems via Profibus DP protocol. For several years, the digital sensors for the parameters pH, ORP, conductivity and O2 (optical and amperometric) ensure a direct connection via 4-20 mA or Modbus protocol and eliminate the need for usage of a transmitter.

Those, who want to exploit the full performance of the sensors, chose the opportunity of the digital connection. The company developed a script for the Deutschmann Unigate CL-Profibus protocol converter together with Sanofi-Aventis Germany.

Thanks to the digital communication between sensor and process control system, the operator is able to access not only the measuring values but also the quality relevant data like sensor- and communication status, calibration data or even information concerning the measuring point which is deposited within the sensor.
