networks

Pressure transmitter with CANopen interface

• Ceramic thick film or metallic thin film strain gauge measuring

principles

• Process connections: G, NPT in ¼" or G ¾" (with hygienic flush

diaphragm) or 1½" clamp

• Linearised and temperature-compensated measuring ranges from -

1...5 bar or 0...0.25 bar to 0...16 bar selectable, relative pressure

• Media temperature range depends on the measuring principle:

- 20…+ 85 °C (ceramic), - 40…+ 125 °C (metallic)

• Access to measured value, device status and settings via the CAN-

open interface

The product is used for measuring either relative or absolute pressures (on

request) in liquid and gaseous media.

Two techniques are available:

• Metallic thin film strain gauge

• Ceramic thick film strain gauge

Both have different specifications. The main differences are:

• Available pressure measuring ranges

• Limitations of medium temperature

• Available process connection types and sizes

• With/without seal for process connection

• Flush diaphragm option available

The device digitises the pressure value and makes it available for use through

the “CANopen” digital communication interface (CAN slave).

Instead of an analogue output, this device offers the CANopen digital inter-

face. This allows bidirectional data transfer, e.g. with a CAN/Ethernet gateway

or directly to a PLC that is equipped with a CAN interface. CAN devices can

also be connected to the Bürkert büS digital communication interface. A

driver used for data exchange and settings of the 8312 is integrated in the

Bürkert PC tool Communicator and available on our website.

Several useful auxiliary functions have been implemented through the DS 404

device profile.

Product variants described in the data sheet may differ from the product presentation and description.
