Detcon Model Series 700 Sensors Integrate Profibus Protocol

Detcon Inc. is pleased to announce that the Detcon Model Series 700 industrial grade gas detection sensors are now available with a Profibus protocol interface option.

The Model 700 Profi-RAM Module is an optional accessory for use with Model 700 Gas Detection Sensors. It is a universal design and can be used with any of the Model 700 Gas Detection Sensors. The Profi-RAM Module is provided in an explosion-proof junction box constructed of either epoxy painted aluminum or electropolished 316 stainless steel and, includes a glass viewing window.

The Profi-RAM Module allows the attached Model 700 Gas Detection Sensor to function as a Profibus DP slave on a Profibus network in addition to providing two alarm relays, a fault relay, a 4-20 mA output, and remote operation of the gas sensor. A Profibus module version allowing the gas sensor to function as a Profibus DP slave, but without relays and remote control, is also available.

The Profi-RAM uses the approved AnyBus module to assure conformance with the Profibus DP communication standard. A downloadable GSD file is provided to allow a user to configure their Profibus Master to recognize the Profi-RAM module.

HART, Foundation Fieldbus, Ethernet and wireless modules are currently under development.

Detcon Model Series 700 sensors are a new generation of "environmentally bullet proof" intelligent gas detection devices designed to operate in the industry's harshest environments. Sensors are available utilizing most commercially active technologies including, CHEMFET solid state MOS for H2S, catalytic and infrared for combustible gas, electrochemical cells for a wide range of toxic compounds, 2-electrode air battery sensors for oxygen deficiency and a sub-miniature PID for a wide range of volatile organic compounds.

All Detcon Model Series 700 industrial grade gas detection sensors are CSA approved to both Canadian and UL requirements with ATEX approval pending in September 2006.

Detcon, Inc. is an ISO 9000 certified, privately held corporation, based in The Woodlands, Texas U.S.A. Detcon manufactures a wide range of innovative and affordable gas detection sensors, electronic control systems and process gas analyzers.
