Asslar, Germany, April 20, 2021. For more than 20 years now, Pfeiffer Vacuum’s portfolio has included its comprehensive DigiLine range of digital total vacuum pressure gauges, which can be modularly adapted to suit any industrial vacuum application. These gauges allow reliable measurement of the total pressure and are easy to install.
Many vacuum applications operate only within a specific pressure range. DigiLine gauges determine and regulate the total pressure in a vacuum system. Thanks to their digital signal output, they ensure a high degree of accuracy and secure data transmission. DigiLine products are much more accurate than analog measuring methods: The measured data for process control and documentation are transferred without any errors or losses.
The M12 connector assemblies qualify these vacuum gauges for use in harsh environments. The gauges can be operated within a communications network, along with the HiPace turbopumps and other Pfeiffer Vacuum products.
All of the gauges have an RS-485 interface. The available options already included Profibus DP, DeviceNet and an additional analog output with two switch points and an LCD display.
Now, additional options have been added to the series to keep abreast of changes in market requirements. This means that DigiLine is now also available with the industrial Ethernet interfaces ProfiNet and EtherCat. In comparison to conventional fieldbuses, these offer the advantage of very fast data rates and a significantly higher number of participants, which makes them an important factor in implementing Industry 4.0.
