The 3200i range provides you with accurate indication and alarming of temperature and process measurements. Process interlocks, including over temperature furnace limits, are implemented using relay outputs.
Available in three formats, the emphasis is on ease of use. A simple 'QuickStart' code is used to configure all the functions essential for indication and protecting your process. If you prefer, you can specify what you need at point of order and we will ship the unit preconfigured to you requirements.
In operator mode every parameter has a scrolling text message describing its function and is available in English, German, French, Spanish or Italian. More advanced features are configured using iTools with a PC based configuration wizard - giving an easy to use, instructive guide to all the functions in the indicator.
Strain Gauge Input
Melt pressure and weigh scale inputs can be energised from an internal 10Vdc transducer supply. An automatic shunt calibration routine is provided to remove zero and span offsets. The display on the 32h8i can show a full 5 digit value.
Process Alarms
Four internal alarm setpoints are provided. They can be used to energise up to three relay outputs, which can be latched if required. A special mode, known as ‘Alarm Blocking’, is available which ensures that when the unit is powered up an alarm must first enter a safe state before the alarm becomes active. This is particularly useful for low alarms which can be blocked while the process is warming up.
Custom Text Messaging
Custom messages can be created with iTools and downloaded to the 3200i to display when an event, alarm or process condition occurs. This provides the operator with good visibility of what is happening in the process and provides messages that they can understand and act upon.
Process Variable Retransmission
The measured process value can be retransmitted as either a mA or voltage signal with a selection of outputs including 4-20mA and 0-10Vdc. In the 32h8i this signal is isolated from all other electronics within the unit.
