2 Description
The MI3 sensor series is the next generation of the well-established “MI class” sensor platform. It will
be capable of covering a broad range of applications. The MI3 sensor series introduces various
network communications, an externally accessible user interface, improved temperature measurement
specifications and capabilities at an economic price.
The MI3 series comes with the following highlights:
Rugged sensing heads survive ambient temperatures to 120°C (248°F) including optimized
performance due to ambient temperature calibration across full ambient temperature range
Special high ambient temperature heads available withstanding up to 180°C (356°F) without
any cooling (LTH models)
Multi head system architecture to allow multiple sensing heads to be multiplexed from a single
communication box
Stand-alone OEM sensing head operation
Intrinsically safe sensing head with Ex Power Supply for installation in hazardous areas (ATEX)
Precision high resolution optics up to 100:1
Up to 10 ms response time
Alarm status indicator
Standard USB 2.0 digital interface
Analog outputs with galvanic isolation
Alarm relay output
Serial RS485 communication interface with the protocols: ASCII, Profibus, Modbus
®
Ethernet communication interface with the protocols: ASCII, http, Profinet IO
Automatic sensing head identification
Includes DataTemp
®
Multidrop software for sensor configuration and monitoring
Field calibration software
