Smartline Vacuum Transducers - Digital. Durable. Intelligent.
Measuring Range 1200 to 5e-10 mbar | 900 to 5e-10 Torr

Thyracont’s digital Smartline™ transducers with modern combination sensors measure in range of rough to high vacuum, offering outstanding reliability and precision. Beside the classic analogue 0-10 V output, their digital interfaces RS485, EtherCAT and PROFINET allow intelligent connection to PLCs.

The digital transducers of Smartline Series are characterized by their particularly efficient micro controllers. With their modern combination sensors these transducers are able to enter different pressure areas such as fine and high vacuum with high precision.

Since beginning of this year, the transducers provide necessary parameters to support predictive maintenance no longer solely via RS485 but also via their PROFINET interface. This enables a direct integration into an existing PROFINET network with PLC, which can take over the entire monitoring of the process. Furthermore, the new PROFINET module is MRP capable, delivers data faster, uses less power, and can be updated in case of errors or new features.

Users of Smartline™ transducers can check the degree of sensor wear and corrosion, the time of the last adjustment as well as operation hours. Thereby, service intervals can be better planned, possible spare parts ordered in time and systems run times optimized. Naturally, all parameters can also be accessed by means of Thyracont’s VacuGraph™-software.

With predictive maintenance via PROFINET Thyracont Smartline™ transducers establish a basis for industry 4.0. The functionality of these devices will remain geared to the latest standards of industry 4.0 in the future.

DIGITAL INTERFACES
All Smartline transducers have a RS485 interface and either an additional 0-10 V output, EtherCat or Profinet interface. The Bluetooth adapter SLKBT enables wireless communication. By means of the RS485-USB interface converter vacuum transducers can be connected with a PC and configured. Additonally suitable vacuum controllers are available.

FIT FOR INDUSTRY 4.0
Be well prepared for the digital future with intelligent Smartline familiy vacuum gauges. All our Profinet transducers can communicate with OPC UA servers. They support MRP and a bidirectional, lossless data transfer between all components from individual I/O Signals to the ERP level and even to the cloud. That provides an efficient way to manage downstream processes or optimize maintenance cycles (preventive maintenance).

DURABLE SENSORS
The Pirani with increased measuring range in the Thyracont sensor combination gauges controls the ionization sensors in such a way that they are only switched on at a very low pressure. This conserves the sensor technology and allows a long lifetime of the gauges. Alternatively, switch and transition ranges between the vacuum sensors are individually configurable.

ROBUST AND RELIABLE
The Pirani and cold cathode transducers are also available with a particularly high over pressure stability of 16 bar. As a service for the higher overpressure stability, we offer a corresponding inspection certificate 3.1 inclusive of a test report.

USEFUL REPLACEMENT SENSORS
Thanks to a plug-and-play solution with calibrated exchange sensors, a quick and easy replacement of defective sensor heads can be made simply by the user. Time and cost for maintenance are thus reduced to a minimum.

COMPATIBILITY TO COMPETITOR PRODUCTS
For the facile replacement of present transducers, the analogue output signal is adapted to the required characteristic of the competitor product. Corresponding mating plugs provide the physical compatibility of the Smartline transducers. The switching from a different gauge is thus fast and easy for the user.

VACUGRAPH™ AND VACUSNIFF™
The VacuGraph vacuum software for Windows is the optimum tool to analyze, visualyze and save your measurement data. For a comfortable gauge configuaration there is even a free lite version of the software available. In combination with the Bluetooth adapter (SLKBT) the VacuGraph software can even be used on mobile devices (Android). Furthermore, a free sniffer app, VacuSniff, can be found in the Playstore. VacuSniff allows for the mobile monitoring of up to 16 Smartline vacuum transducers at the same time. The app also features an alarm function.
