The P C E - I R 5 6
PCE Instruments infrared temperature sensors.
The P C E - I R 5 6 functions as the Modbus Master on an RS485 network of up to 6 temperature sensors,
and can itself be connected as a slave device to another RS485 network via a second, isolated
Modbus interface. This allows multiple P C E - I R 5 6 units to be multi-dropped to create a large network
of sensors and displays.
Optional alarm relay modules allow the P C E - I R 5 6 to be connected to alarm equipment such as
sounders and beacons, and optional analogue output modules allow it to be connected to non-
Modbus instrumentation.
modules are adjustable via the P C E - I R 5 6 built-in resistive touch screen interface, which can be
operated even with gloves on.
With an optional MicroSD Card inserted, the P C E - I R 5 6
