In electronics, a multiplexer (or mux) is a device that selects one of several analog input signals and forwards the selected input into a single analog output. This makes it possible for several signals to share devices, for example one A/D converters of a PLC instead of having one device per input signal.
So the temperature multiplexer TAMP4-VF shares up to 4 PT100 sensors to one analog output of 4 ... 20 mA.. These are operating as 2-wire sensors with 1.5 mA constant current.
In time slots of 1 second one channel is switched to the next. The measured temperature is put as an analog signal to the output of AA (4-20mA).
By means of two binary coded digital outputs TAMP4 indicates the number of the selected channel to a supervising control according to the formula:
Current input channel = 2 * bit1 + 1 * bit0 + 1
The connections are made via push-in terminals up to max. 1.5 mm².
TAMP4-VF is contactless and maintenance free
