Installation recommendations

Рекомендации по монтажу датчика MSI-H

Interface

The sensor complies with all requirements of the ProfiNET standard (IEC 61158), providing high-speed data transmission over an industrial Ethernet network. All measurements performed by the sensor are absolute and are transmitted at speeds of up to 100 Mbit/s.

The ProfiNET bus allows up to 256 devices to be connected within a single network, ensuring system flexibility and scalability. Various network topologies are supported, including star, ring, and line. Sensor parameters are loaded into the system using a GSDML file.

Sensor operating modes:

Real-Time (RT) mode:

  • Provides data transmission with minimal latency.
  • Suitable for applications that do not require strict synchronization.

Isochronous Real-Time (IRT) mode:

  • Provides precise synchronization of devices within the network.
  • Used in applications with high requirements for timing performance.
