TFZ Programmable FOUNDATION Fieldbus Temperature Transmitter

 

The TFZ Programmable FOUNDATION Fieldbus Temperature Transmitter saves wire and installation costs by allowing up to 32 field devices to be networked onto one, low cost FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 segment.

The loop-powered (2-wire) TFZ offers dozens of input and operation choices. It sets up from the control room over segment wiring using a standard FOUNDATION fieldbus configuration tool to handle 14 RTD types, 9 thermocouple types, as well as direct millivolt and resistance/potentiometer inputs. It converts the input to a
FOUNDATION fieldbus H1, two-way digital communication protocol ready for interface with an AMS, DCS or PLC.

 

Available in a variety of mounting styles,
the TFZ installs on a pipe or surface in the field, or on a DIN-rail and relay track in a multi-unit enclosure or cabinet.

Features

• Industry-standard FOUNDATION fieldbus communication.
Featuring a bus connection in accordance with IEC 61158-2 and EN 50170, part 4, the TFZ can be installed in the same segment with all standard FOUNDATION fieldbus devices.

• Exceptional measurement accuracy.
20-bit input resolution delivers precise, industry-leading measurements.

• Easy-to-read, customizable local display.
The large display features alphanumeric characters that can be read easily in the field. It can be customized to display the process variable or the output in user-selectable engineering units.

• Delivers valuable diagnostic information.
Standard FOUNDATION fieldbus diagnostics provide indication of unwanted process and transmitter conditions.

• Remote configuration and diagnostics.
The ideal universal plant standard, the TFZ offers versatile input and operation choices, and still can be configured and troubleshooted quickly over the segment, from the control room.

• Long-term stability.
Provides up to 5 years between scheduled calibrations.

• Advanced RFI/EMI protection and ambient temperature compensation.
Guard against environmental factors that can quickly degrade measurement accuracy.
