High availability solutions for any environment

Expansion of the Bachmann coldclimate product portfolio

From the second quarter of 2011 additional coldclimate versions of modules and terminals will be added to the portfolio of the M1 automation system. Besides different visualization devices, this includes the AIC212, a measuring module for condition monitoring systems in wind energy plants, the EM213, an industrial Ethernet master for accessing the data of M1 controllers, and the PTAI216 temperature measuring module, which provides four analog input channels and 12 inputs for Pt100/Pt1000 sensors.

Visualization for climate extremes

The visualization devices of the OT100 series and OT200 series provide ‘Essential’ and ‘Intermediate’ class visualization devices for operation in extreme climatic conditions. The display units of the OT100 series are primarily designed for simple text-based displays in conjunction with a powerful M1-CPU. The coldclimate version of the OT205V on the other hand, is an autonomous, full-featured terminal based on industrial PC technology. With the fully graphical 5.7” VGA display and modern LED backlight technology, it offers in conjunction with Bachmann's proprietary project design tool (VisDesigner) a solid and fail-safe basis for the rapid implementation of powerful visualizations for wind energy plants.

Wide temperature range and condensation proof

The perfectly matched coldclimate versions of M1 modules and terminals have two things in common: A very large operating temperature range and moisture condensation resistance. Thanks to a special polymer-based “sealing” of the electronic modules, reliable operation is also ensured when condensation is present. The modules can be used at extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C, and reliable uninterrupted operation is guaranteed in the temperature range from -30°C to +60°C when condensation is present. Due to the measures implemented for all coldclimate components, the storage temperature ranges from --40°C to +85°C.
