Description

Functional highlights

• The 0… 5 AAC RMS range makes it possible to accurately measure a typical current transformer.
• The 0…300 VAC RMS range allows accurate supply voltage monitoring.
• The device measures standard input ranges and can be freely configured to customer-defined input range.
• Process control with 2 pairs of potential-free relay contacts which can be configured to suit any application.
• Trip amplifier with window function allowing the relay to change state within a high and a low setpoint on the input span.
• Simulation of process value during commissioning / maintenance.
• All terminals are over-voltage protected, polarity protected and short-circuit protected.
• The 4179B provides the required failure data (SFF and PFD_AVG) for SIL 2 applications as per IEC 61508 / IEC 61511.
• Failure rates for 4179B correspond to Performance Level “d” according to ISO-13849.
