Description

The Micron Modbus & serial output, AC RMS input transmitter provides six voltage input ranges and four current input ranges, all factory calibrated and jumper selectable. A special 5.000A range utilizes a built-in 0.01 ohm shunt to accept the output of 5A current transformers, with no need for a stepdown transformer. The current readings can easily be scaled digitally as needed.

True RMS precision circuitry is used to determine the root-mean-square of complex waveforms from 10 Hz to 10 kHz. Spikes up to 2.4 times the maximum of each range are accurately measured. This provides a crest factor (Vp / Vrms) of 240 for a signal amplitude of 1% of full scale, decreasing to 2.4 at 100% of full scale.

LTM Series serial output transmitters send data via an isolated serial port, which is user configurable for RS232 or RS485 and full or half duplex operation. Three protocols are user selectable: Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII, or Micron ASCII. Modbus operation is fully compliant with Modbus Over Serial Line Specification V1.0 (2002). The Micron ASCII protocol allows up to 31 Micron devices to be addressed on the same RS485 data line. It is simpler than the Modbus protocol and is recommended when all devices are Microns. It also allows use of Micron Datalogging Software.

Standard features of Micron transmitters include:

  • Serial data output, isolated. User selectable RS232 or RS485, half or full duplex, Modbus or Micron ASCII protocol.
  • Dual solid state relays for control or alarm, isolated. Rated 120 mA at 130 Vac or 170 Vdc.
  • Analog transmitter output, 16-bit, user scalable and isolated. User selectable 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA or 0-10V levels.
  • Universal AC power supply for 85-264 Vac.

Easy Transmitter programming is via Micron's Instrument Setup Software, which runs on a PC under MS Windows. This software can be downloaded from this website at no charge. The required transmitter-to-PC interface cable is available from Micron (P/N CBL04).
