Analog sensors

Generally speaking, analog sensors utilize changes of voltage, current or resistance on output terminals. The sensors can be divided into two groups:

  • Active → the output signal towards the GND is either voltage or current (most active sensors are powered by an external power source galvanically isolated from the PLC)
  • Passive → the resistance between the output terminals changes depending on the measured parameter.

On the Unipi e-shop you can find reliable passive analog sensors suitable for use in heating, air conditioning, industrial environment etc. These sensors are also a good choice for projects requiring the most precise and reliable sensors available.

Most active sensors are designed for special use and can be purchased from specialized vendors.

PTS 350B

  • Designed for contact measuring of pipeline surface temperature (IP65 protection)
  • Water-proof Pt1000 resistance sensor,
  • Probe dimensions (h×w×d): 40 x 12 x 12 mm
  • Holding metal band length: 40 cm
  • Minimal pipe diameter: 20 mm
  • The sensor is suitable for temperature measuring in the range from -30°C to 105°C
  • Suitable for all Unipi devices with analog input
  • Link to e-shop: link

Examples of use:

  • Measuring pipeline surface temperature
  • The usage method must be selected in accordance with the temperature and chemical durability of the probe and the input cable

Applicable for:

  • All Unipi units with analog input, including the Unipi 1.1*
  • For Unipi Extension xS51 module (or the older xS50 model)

The resistance sensor can be connected to Unipi units or extension models in-between the AI and AIS connectors (for the Group 1 the sensor is connected via AO and AGND terminals).
