3.2 Principle of operation
The PLICSMOBILE T81 is a mobile network unit for transmission of
measured values and for remote parameter adjustment of HART sen-
sors, especially of plics
®
sensors. Due to the large operating voltage
range and the integrated power saving functions, a mains-independ-
ent power supply via battery or accumulator/solar cells is possible,
for example through PLICSMOBILE B81. Typical applications are
measured value transmission from mobile vessels, battery-operated
level measurement and deep well measurement.
The measured value and message transmission can be optionally
carried out via e-mail or SMS. Furthermore, the measured values can
be transmitted via https for visualisation in "
VEGA Inventory System
".
The use of PLICSMOBILE T81 is particularly suitable for inventory
management, VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) and remote enquiry.
The external mobile network unit PLICSMOBILE T81 can be con-
nected to any 4 … 20 mA HART two-wire sensor of the plics
®
series.
In HART Multidrop operation up to 15 sensors can be connected to a
PLICSMOBILE T81 (max. 5 with Ex version).
The transmission of measured values, event messages and diagnos-
tic information to the user is carried out via the GSM/GPRS/UMTS
network. Thank multi band technology, the device can be used virtu-
ally anywhere in the world. There is also the option of accessing the
connected sensor via remote parameter adjustment.
The combined radio antenna enables the GSM/GPRS/UMTS com-
munication as well as the Bluetooth connection. In addition, the
antenna enables the reception of position data via GPS.
Power is supplied via a standard low voltage source (external power
supply unit/battery/accumulator/solar panel) or via the optionally
available PLICSMOBILE B81. You can find detailed specifications on
the power supply in chapter "
Connecting to power supply
" as well as
in "
Technical data
".
3.3 Adjustment
The device is adjusted via a PC with PACTware and the corre-
sponding DTM or via smartphone/tablet with the VEGA Tools app.
The connection is made via the Bluetooth interface integrated in
PLICSMOBILE T81.
