T38 temperature transmitter – Discover the remarkable
Flexible. Secure. High performance
Challenging environments require reliable temperature transmitters. In hazardous areas or in critical applications that don’t allow any leeway, the processes must be as safe as possible. Because all downtime must be avoided and efficient plant operation must be guaranteed. To meet these challenges, we have developed the new, and state-of-the-art, T38 temperature transmitter.
Challenges
A perfect temperature transmitter, in practice, must meet numerous requirements:
- ensure constant temperatures for critical processes
- ensure safe and reliable operation
- cover different integration situations and system requirements
- enable intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance
- keep installation and maintenance costs to a minimum
The good news: The T38 makes it possible.
Designed for peace of mind
Reliability is everything when it comes to process monitoring. The T38 is at home, even in challenging industries and critical applications.
Benefits
Solutions
More integration options, less effort
Thanks to six sensor connection terminals, you have the maximum combination of input sensors that can be connected with just one transmitter. The connection is made in seconds thanks to the easily accessible terminals.
Parameterisation couldn’t be simpler
The WIKAsoft-TT software, in combination with the intuitive PU-548 programming unit, makes configuration easier. Numerous predefined functions and a standard configuration tailored to the application accelerate the process and thus ensure maximum convenience during parameterisation.
Highly flexible for every application
The T38 is available as a version for compact integration on a DIN rail and as a head-mounted version. Different case variants and a clip-on display offer a modular concept for different applications.
Optimised monitoring for critical processes
WIKA’s new True Drift Detection enables optimised process monitoring. Erroneous and drifting sensor signals are detected before they endanger process reliability. In this way, operators can easily ensure continuous reliability.
Safe – always and everywhere
With its approvals, the T38 can be used in hazardous areas. In addition, the instrument was developed in accordance with IEC 61508 and meets the requirements of SIL 2, and even SIL 3 when used as a redundant system. As a whole, the system ensures maximum safety and minimises the risk of failure.
True Drift Detection – For maximum process safety
Temperature sensors are subject to drift over time – often unnoticed and with potential implications for process safety. The “True Drift Detection (TDD)” feature of the T38 detects such deviations early and reliably.
Resistance thermometers often monitor process temperatures. Even with a robust design, permanent stress, for example due to high temperatures, fluctuations or humidity, can lead to drift. Connected with a specific WIKA thermometer, the T38 continuously monitors the complete measuring range for critical deviation. An intelligent algorithm compares the measured values of the sensor with those of the reference. This combination enables comprehensive self-monitoring of the sensor, allowing it to fit perfectly into digitalised processes.
Errors are reported via HART® or the current loop, which gives the operator sufficient time to react. Condition monitoring enables demand-driven interventions. TDD thus increases process safety and reliability. The technology works for measuring ranges from -50 °C to +500 °C.
