ELECTRICAL MODULE (E)

The electrical module (E), which is galvanically isolated from all the other modules, measures electrical quantities including frequency. Additionally it counts pulses and detects the state of switches (opening and closing values). It includes a +24V DC loop supply and it also generates current.

The E module hosts the optional HART® modem which allows digital communications with instruments which support the HART® protocol. MC5 automatically includes an internal 250 ohm resistor needed for HART® communication when the +24V DC loop supply is used.

E module features:
  • Voltage measurement • Pulse counting
  • Low voltage measurement • Frequency measurement
  • Current measurement • Switch testing
  • Current generation • +24V DC loop supply
  • Hosts the HART® communication (optional)

PRESSURE MODULES (INT / EXT)

MC5 can have up to three (3) internal pressure modules. All the internal pressure modules, up to INT6C, are equipped with relief valves as overpressure protection. This together with the possibility to also use external pressure modules gives MC5 a unique pressure calibration capability.

A unit fitted with the barometric module allows all other pressure modules to also measure absolute pressure.

The pressure modules incorporate advanced pressure measurement technology, which means that only a few modules are needed to cover a very wide pressure range with excellent uncertainty.

MC5 supports more than 30 different pressure units as standard.

TEMPERATURE ELECTRICAL MODULE (ET)

With the temperature and electrical module (ET) you can simulate and measure a great variety of RTD's and thermocouples. Additionally you can generate electrical signals including frequency and pulses as well as measure and generate / simulate mV and ohm signals with the same module.

Both the ITS90 and IPTS68 International Temperature Scales are selectable from the configuration menu in the MC5.

The ET module hosts the reference junction (RJ) module. The RJ module operates using advanced temperature measurement technology providing very accurate internal cold junction compensation when measuring or simulating thermocouples.

The unique design of the RJ module makes it possible to use practically any connector type or plain TC wires.

ET module features:
  • RTD measurement / simulation • Frequency generation
  • Resistance measurement / simulation • Pulse generation
  • Thermocouple measurement / simulation • Voltage generation
  • Low voltage measurement / generation • Current generation
  • Hosts the optional internal reference junction module (RJ)
