Description
The LTSE6 Ethernet input, analog output transmitter accepts
Ethernet serial data using the Modbus protocol, Laurel ASCII
protocol, or direct ASCII characters, and converts this data to an
isolated, scalable 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA or 0-10V analog output. The
unit is housed in transmitter case which is only 22.5 mm (0.89")
thick and fits on a 35 mm DIN rail. It is normally powered by AC
(85-264 Vac), but can optionally be powered by low voltage AC
or DC.
Standard Features Include:
• Ethernet serial data input, isolated. The Modbus protocol,
Laurel ASCII protocol, or ASCII characters are supported at
data rates to 19200 bps. Modbus implementation is fully
compliant with Modbus over Serial Line Specification V1.0
(2002) in RTU or ASCII operation, with up to 247 digital
addresses. Using the Laurel ASCII protocol, the serial-to-
analog converter is able to retrieve digital data from long
character strings. Users can specify character positions, start
and stop ASCII characters, how many characters to skip, and
how many characters to process. Slave operation requires
connection to a master.
• Analog transmitter output, 16-bit, scalable and isolated.
User selectable 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA or 0-10V levels. 16-bit
resolution provides an ultra-fine resolution of 0.0015% and
accuracy better than 0.02% of output span. Output isolation
from signal, power and serial communication grounds is
provided by a separate on-board transmitter power supply,
thereby eliminating potential problems caused by ground
loops. The supply can drive 20 mA into a 500 ohm (or lower)
load for 10V compliance, or 10V into 5K ohm (or higher) load
for 2 mA compliance.
• Ability to extract readings from long ASCII data strings.
You can specify character positions, start and stop ASCII
characters, how many characters to skip, and how many
characters to process. Slave operation requires connection
to a master. Not applicable to the Modbus protocol.
• Dual solid state relays for control or alarm. Rated 120 mA
at 130 Vac or 170 Vdc, isolated.
• Universal AC power supply for 85-264 Vac.
• Optional low voltage power, 10-48 Vdc or 12-32 Vac.
Discovery and configuration of Laureate Ethernet Nodes is
easily achieved with Laurel's Node Manager Software, and the
discovered transmitters can then be programmed using Laurel's
Instrument Setup Software. Both softwares run on a PC under
MS Windows and can be downloaded at no charge.
