Advanced Digital Connectivity for Industrial AutomationLeveraging the CAN digital output and supporting CANopen protocol, PyroCAN integrates smoothly into advanced control networks. Remote digital read-out is facilitated over the CAN interface, eliminating the need for a local display and allowing for centralized monitoring and data collection across expansive industrial plants.
Optimized Performance in Harsh EnvironmentsWith an IP65-rated industrial aluminum housing, PyroCAN withstands dust, water splashes, and demanding conditions. Its adjustable emissivity, wide operating temperature (-40C to 1000C model dependent), and fast response make it suitable for manufacturing lines, process control, and quality assurance in challenging sectors.
FAQ's of PyroCAN - Pyrometer with digital CAN interface:
Q: How does the PyroCAN measure temperature without direct contact?
A: PyroCAN uses infrared technology based on Planck's law to detect thermal radiation emitted by a surface, meaning it can accurately measure temperature from a distance without touching the target object.
Q: What are the benefits of the CAN digital interface in PyroCAN?
A: The CAN digital interface (supporting CANopen protocol) allows seamless remote configuration, data retrieval, and integration into networked control systems, enhancing automation efficiency and real-time process monitoring.
Q: Where can PyroCAN be installed in a production facility?
A: PyroCAN can be mounted using its threaded or bracket options at critical points where non-contact temperature monitoring is required, such as conveyor lines, ovens, or material processing zones, even in dusty or wet environments due to its IP65 rating.
Q: What is the process for adjusting emissivity on the PyroCAN?
A: Emissivity can be digitally adjusted between 0.10 and 1.00 via the CAN interface, allowing users to optimize measurement accuracy for various surface types directly from a connected control system.
Q: When should PyroCAN be chosen over traditional contact thermometers?
A: PyroCAN is ideal when fast, non-intrusive, and highly accurate temperature readings are essential, particularly with moving, dangerous, or hard-to-reach targets, or where hygiene and contamination are concerns.
Q: What power supply requirements and connectivity options does PyroCAN offer?
A: PyroCAN operates on a wide 9-36 V DC input and features an industrial M12 cable connector, ensuring secure and reliable installation in diverse industrial settings.
