The Multi-Sensor-Controller is designed for the connection of max. three sensors, two of them may be different cartridges of the SC2 series via local bus and/or two of them analog sensors with 4-20 mA signal. The controller monitors the measured values and activates the alarm relays if the set alarm thresholds for pre-alarm and main alert are exceeded. In addition, the values are provided for direct connection to the BMS via an RS-485 interface and also as 4-20 mA output.
The SIL 2 compliant self-monitoring function in the MSC2 and in the connected Sensor Cartridge activates the fault message in case of an internal error as well as in case of a fault in the local bus communication (SC2) and/or at the 4-20 mA input / output current signals.
Other options such as LCD display, three-color status LED, buzzer, digital input for acknowledgment or test function, various communication protocols ensure proper adaptation to the wide range of applications in gas detection technology. For convenient commissioning the MSC2 can be pre-configured and parametrised with factory-set defaults.
APPLICATION
The MSC2 is designed for detection and warning of gases in many commercial and industrial applications.
