ISM - Intelligent Sensor Management
The module allows the connection of ISM sensors
1)
.
ISM is an open system that is compatible to existing connection systems (VP 8)
and permits the use of conventional sensors.
An ISM sensor is immediately identified due to the “Plug & Measure” concept.
This ensures the clear assignment of a sensor to a measuring point. The risk of
confusing the sensors is eliminated. The sensors can be precalibrated in the lab.
On-site calibration/adjustment is no more required.
Information Available in the ISM Sensor
The sensor provides information concerning manufacturer, production date,
sensor description, application data, and original calibration data, as well as
information on predictive maintenance, such as the maximum load index and
maximally permitted number of CIP/SIP cycles.
Statistical data inform on the product life cycle of the sensor: data of the last
3 calibrations, adjustment record, media values, partial pressure, temperature,
response time, impedance, barometric pressure.
This allows the following diagnostics to be performed:
- Calculation of the individual load index
- Wear indication
- Membrane changes
- Inner body changes
Taking Over the Minimum/Maximum Temperature
The maximum temperature range is stored in the ISM sensor.
When "Sensor monitoring Auto" has been selected, the value pair for the
m minimum temperature is automatically taken over from the sensor.
