Temperature Transmitter Working Principle

Temperatur Transmitter

As instrument engineers, we are already familiar with this one device, yes, the temperature transmitter. What is a temperature transmitter?

A temperature transmitter is a device used to monitor temperature, usually in a stream or enclosed space. The way it works is by sending a temperature measurement signal from the sensor to be sent to the temperature control or temperature indicator. The signal from the sensor is converted by the controller at the transmitter into a 4020 mA signal. This signal will be sent to the I/O or PLC for further processing.

There are 2 types of temperature sensors, including:

1. RTD

RTD or resistence temperatur detector works based on the resistance of the material that changes with temperature. An example of a device is the PT100. PT100 is an RTD made of platinum with a reference of 100 ohns = 0 degrees Celsius.

2. TC

TC or thermocouple works based on 2 pieces of conductor wire of different materials whose ends are joined together. The first wire as a reference and the second wire as a temperature sensor. This difference causes a voltage difference depending on the magnitude of the temperature.


The temperature sensor of this transmitter equipment is very prone to impact and high pressure, so it is necessary to install a protective device called a thermowell. This thermowell will be attached to the system or process (usually a pipe or tank) and will be in direct contact with the medium whose temperature will be detected.

Thermowell

This thermowell itself has several types based on the type of connection to the process, including: :

1. Threaded

This type of thermowell uses threads to connect itself to the process. The use of this type is usually for processes with low pressure, but this type is very easy to install and maintain.

2. Flange

This type of thermowell uses a flange as a connector, this flange will then be connected to the flange that is in the process. Almost the same as the threaded type, this type is also easy to install and maintain, but this type is able to work with higher pressure.

3. Welded

This type of thermowell uses the welding method to connect itself to the process, usually the welding used is TIG welding. The advantage of this type is that it is able to withstand very high pressure from the process, but it is a little more difficult in the installation and maintenance process.

Even though they have different connection types for the process, for the thermowell connection with the temperature sensor, it uses the same type of connection, namely the thread type.

In addition to being divided based on the type of connection to the process, thermowells are also distinguished based on their contact with the flow that is in the process, including:

1. Straight

This type has a cross section that is flat or the same size from one end to the other. However, this type has a few drawbacks, namely it is slow in responding to process temperatures.

2. Tappered

This type has a different cross-sectional area, the lower the cross-sectional area is getting smaller with the same linear ratio. This type has a good ability to respond to temperature readings in the process.

3. Stepped

Almost the same as the tapered type, the stepped type also has a different cross-sectional area from one end to the other, but the difference is that the different surfaces are step or uneven. This type has a very fast response in reading the temperature in the process.

After we have discussed the types of temperature sensors and also the types of connections to the process, now we will discuss the types of cable or wiring connections.

Below is a wiring table for the temperature transmitter.

Transmitter Temperature Wiring Type

1. 2 Communication Cable

This wiring only uses 2 cables, namely 1 positive cable to provide 24 VDC voltage or input power to the transmitter and 1 more cable for negative cable (command) or 4-20 mA signal sending cable. The way it works is that the PLC sends a voltage of 24 VDC to the transmitter and the transmitter returns a 4-20 mA signal to the PLC through the other channel.


This type has advantages such as low power consumption, easy to install, easy to maintain and cheaper. However, it has a disadvantage, namely the low signal reading accuracy.

2. 3 Communication Cable

This type uses 3 wires for connection, each for the positive wire for input power transmitter, negative and command for transmitter output to the PLC. Add this command cable to send a 4-20 mA signal back to the transmitter.


The advantage is, of course, that the signal accuracy is better, but it costs more or is more expensive.

3. 4 Communication Cable

This type has 4 cables for connection, so the cable for the input power transmitter can use AC supply not only DC as by using 2 or 3 cables.


The way it works is almost the same as a 3 cable connection, each of these cables is 2 cables for input power to the tramitter, 2 more cables for output to the PLC.

Thus a brief discussion of the temperature transmitter, may be useful.

Text And Mtext In Autocad

The Difference Between "Text" And "Mtext" In Autocad And How To Convert It In operating AutoCAD we often encounter or use writing with the aim of providing information, showing something, etc. so that our drawings are easier to understand. To write in AutoCAD, we know that there are two options, the first is "TEXT" and the second is "MTEXT". So what are the differences between the two? TEXT For "text" itself we can call it single text or single writing. So if we use "text" we can only write one sentence in one piece of text. The disadvantage of this "text" is that it doesn't have any editing menu, we can't adjust or adjust our needs in this paper, instead we must first enter the properties menu. This means that from this "text" we can only edit the written content. To use this "text" we can use the command type "DT" then press enter. MTEXT As for "mtext" itself is an ab...

Genset Heating Procedure

Genset Heating Standard Procedure Genset is one of the equipment that functions to convert mechanical energy or rotation of the rotor into electrical energy. The generator has two main parts, namely the motor generator and the generator engine (usually a diesel engine), both of which are connected by a shaft. The generator itself has two main parts, namely the rotor and stator. The stator is the stationary part, while the rotor is the rotating part. This generator works when the genset control panel receives input if the power source from PLN dies, then the PLC or ATS (automatic transfer switch) will give an order to the genset control panel to turn on the generator, this is done automatically. What if the generator has to be turned on manually, for example when heating the generator? Genset as one of the supporting utility facilities of a building must of course be maintained regularly, one of which is heating the generator as one of the genset maintenance procedures. To warm up the g...
