Working principle
The core working logic of YOKOGAWA 16137-223 high-precision temperature transmitter is "temperature sensing signal conditioning signal conversion standard output", which achieves precise acquisition and reliable transmission of temperature signals through four core links. The specific workflow is as follows:
1. Temperature signal perception
The thermocouple or thermistor sensor connected to the transmitter goes deep into the temperature measurement point of the industrial site, converts the physical temperature quantity into corresponding electrical signals - the thermocouple outputs a thermoelectric potential signal corresponding to the temperature difference, and the thermistor outputs a resistance signal that changes with temperature, and then transmits the electrical signal to the input channel of the transmitter.
2. Signal conditioning and isolation
After the electrical signal transmitted by the sensor enters the transmitter, it is first processed by the signal conditioning circuit: weak signals are amplified through a precision resistor network and amplification circuit, and high-frequency electromagnetic interference clutter is removed through a low-pass filtering circuit to ensure signal stability. Subsequently, the conditioned signal enters the three terminal isolation circuit, which achieves electrical isolation between the input, output, and power supply side through optocouplers, blocking ground loop interference and external electromagnetic interference to ensure the accuracy of signal processing.
3. Signal conversion and calibration
After isolation and conditioning, the electrical signal is transmitted to the core signal processing unit (MCU) inside the transmitter, which converts the analog electrical signal into a digital signal through a high-precision A/D converter. The signal processing unit performs linear calibration and temperature compensation on the digital signal based on the preset sensor type and range parameters, eliminating the influence of sensor nonlinear errors and environmental temperature on the measurement results, and obtaining accurate temperature digital signals.
4. Standard signal output and communication
The signal processing unit converts the calibrated temperature digital signal into a 4-20mA DC standard analog signal, which is transmitted to the upper control system (DCS/PLC) through the output channel; If equipped with HART communication function, temperature digital signals and device operating status information can be simultaneously transmitted by superimposing them on 4-20mA analog signals through the HART protocol, achieving synchronous transmission of analog and digital signals. After receiving the signal, the upper computer restores the 4-20mA signal to the corresponding temperature value, and can also send parameter configuration instructions to the transmitter through the HART protocol to achieve remote debugging and fault monitoring.
