The compact Burkert intelligent pressure gauge module (IPGM) integrates all necessary elements for precise remote pressure monitoring — an electronic pressure sensor, an amplifier with calibration memory and a communications unit. Furthermore, it is equipped with a digital display that shows all critical values locally (current pressure value, module state, limit overrun or underrun). The design of the module allows easy system initialization without additional wiring or tubing. This means that the user is able to cut costs and save time due to decreased installation time, maintenance-free operation and efficient, compact modular functionality. In addition, no wires and no tubes means nearly error-free operation. Pre-installed software filter functions relieve the user from programming complex filter algorithms. Adjustable pressure limits allow the usage of the module as a pressure switch. The module is controlled via standard fieldbus systems such as Profibus or DeviceNet. Configurable values like pressure unit, lower/upper pressure values for warnings or filter parameters are set directly via fieldbus. The measurable pressure range is from vacuum to 145 psi (g)/10 bar (g). The operational temperature range is from 32°F to 131°F.
