031033 To manage a vinyl house efficiently, I want to monitor the room temperature as well as the temperature difference from the outside temperature. How can I realize the flowing two functions? A: indicating the room temperature. B: providing an alarm signal when the temperature difference exceeds a preset value. the temperature detection sensor is RTD.

031034 We have a project to measure the temperature of a deep well about 1000 meters under the ground with Pt100 ohms, resistance temperature detector. Do you have any idea on this?

031035 I am measuring motor temperature. An RTD is connected to the motor and I like to transmit the data to a PLC located off site over the Modbus communication. A PLC may be used to control the load to the motor or to shut down the motor as needed to prevent burnout.

032066 We are planning to measure temperature of an electric furnace with termocouplein our laboratory. Since we do a lot of experiments, we have to change thermocouple types and temperature ranges from time to time. How we can reduce our stock of transmitters to suit our purpose.

032076 To monitor the temperature in incinerator, we are thinking of using a thermocouple sensor to send 4-20mA signals to control room. Meanwhile, we also need an alarm device at field in case the temperature goes out of range. What can you propose for this application?

032081 We are looking for a differential RTD transmitter in order to measure a temperature difference between 2 rooms. And displaying it on indicator as voltage scaling, -5 to +5V DC.
We know M-System has a differential RTD transmitter, the DR/DRS but it can accept just 2-wire RTD signals. Does M-System have this kind of transmitter that can accept 3-wire RTD signals?

032084 We work for an incineration plant.
Using a heat exchanger, waste heat is reused for an air conditioning energy in the facility. How can we monitor the temperature difference between the hot air in and the cooled air out of a heat exchanger?

032120 We have a test equipment on which two T/C sensors are attached. We’d like to convert the T/C signals into 4-20 mAdc and send it to a controller unit. The controller unit receives the 4-20 mA signal and controls the rotating speed of an air blower at the test equipment in order to control temperature.
Now we need to select one of the two T/C sensor signals each case by case. However, the controller unit doesn’t have signal switching function and then accept only one 4-20 mA signal. Does M-System have any suitable unit and solution?

032139 We’d like to measure temperature difference between the inlet and outlet of a heat exchanger by using two T/C sensors. We want to load the inlet-outlet temperature differential with PLC’s DC input card. The PLC can provide 24V power excitation. We also want to display the temp. difference with an appropriate scaling at the field. Do you have any suitable device to meet the application?

032147 2-Wire temperature sensor is used with a dispense gun’s heater which melts the Hot Melt Adhesive. We like to convert its 100 to 500 ohm special non-linear resistance to 4-20mA DC signal. I only know about a Pt100 ohm input type transmitter. Is there a field configurable transmitter which can accept a special resistance input?
