Standard Features
| The ///AMASSER PRTU is a host communications module which polls a remote ///AMASSER PSE shaft encoder and provides the retrieved data to a host device such as a SCADA, PLC, … The PRTU is designed specifically for polling the PSE. In cases where the PRTU is equipped with a built-in modem, it enables practically unlimited distances between your host machine and the remote sensor. The retrieved data is displayed on a LED digital display. Below are some example configurations that are possible between the PSE and your host machine: |  |
MODBus RTU
The PRTU/RTU provides MODBUS registers that include the water level to 3 decimal places, the RTU address and the Alarm trigger points and hysteresis for the relay output. Distances of up to 4000' are supported between the PRTU/RTU and the host using two twisted pairs (full duplex).Digital Display
The digital display and operator switches allow the user to view the realtime data as well as set the following parameters (if applicable): MODBUS address, Alarm UPPER, Alarm UPPER reset, Alarm LOWER, Alarm LOWER reset, 4mA OFFSET, 4-20mA SPAN, Cal 4mA, Cal 20mA.Relay Output
All PRTU shipped after July 1, 2003 are equipped with a level-controlled relay output. The user defines the UPPER and LOWER levels for which the relay closes. These levels typically correspond to flood and drought conditions. The hysteresis for each of the trigger points is also user-configurable.4-20mA Ouput
The “/4-20” option provides a 4-20mA signal proportional to the water level using by means of a 16-bit DAC. The water levels corresponding to an output of 4mA and 20mA are user-configurable from the digital display. Also, although the DAC is factory-calibrated, the unit features a calibration mode whereby 4mA and 20mA current levels are provided as a reference for fine adjustment of the device if necessary.Modem-based Communications
The PRTU can be equipped with a leased-line or dial-up modem. This allows unlimited distances between the PSE sensor and the PRTU.
For leased-line modem order with option "/MDMLL".
For dial-up modem order with option "/MDM".
