Basic function principles

Basic function principles 1:
Bus Terminal block with pressure measuring modules

The pressure measuring modules KM3701 and KM3712 directly record differential and relative pressures in non-aggressive gases. As in electronic signal acquisition the pressure measurement takes place via a terminal module. The pressure measuring modules convert the measured pressure into an electrical signal and make it available to the higher-level controller with a resolution of 16 bits. The measuring principle is based on the most up-to-date on-chip sensor technology. In addition to just measuring, the semiconductor also executes other functions, such as temperature compensation and avoidance of long-term drift. The status LEDs indicate proper function or errors such as range exceedance.

KM3701 single-channel differential pressure measuring module

Basic function principles 2:
KM3701 - Single-channel differential pressure measurement

The KM3701 terminal module can measure pressure differences between 0 and 100 hPa (0 and 100 mbar) between two hose connections. The differential pressure can be measured up to an ambient pressure of 7500 hPa (7 bar) between any points.

KM3702 - Two-channel relative pressure measuring module (0 hPa to 7500 hPa)

Basic function principles 3:
KM3702 - Two-channel relative pressure measurement

The KM3702 terminal module can measure pressure values between 0 and 7000 hPa (0 and 7 bar) at each hose connection. Pressure measurement takes place relative to the actual current ambient pressure.

KM3712 - Two-channel relative pressure measuring module (-1000 hPa to +1000 hPa)

Basic function principles 4:
KM3712 - Two-channel relative pressure measurement

The KM3712 terminal module can measure pressure values between -1000 hPa and +1000 hPa (-1 bar and +1 bar) at each hose connection. Pressure measurement takes place relative to the actual current ambient pressure.

Installation and connection technique

The pressure measuring terminal samples the pressure values directly. Additional measuring devices are unnecessary. This avoids connection systems and saves available space compared with the use of conventional measuring devices. The installation of the pressure measuring terminals is simple and fast and can be carried out without any additional mounting tools. The measuring hoses are connected directly to the quick couplings of the pressure measuring terminal. Standard commercial plastic hoses can be used as measuring hoses. In terms of connections and installation space the pressure measuring terminals are designed like a "normal" 24 mm Bus Terminal and can be installed with minimum space requirement directly in the Bus Terminal system.
