Optris Introduces Digital Interfaces for Enhanced Process Automation

Optris, the specialist in non-contact temperature measurement, is introducing new digital interfaces for process automation. The latest pyrometer 

models from the CT, CTlaser, CTratio, and CSvision series, as well as the Ethernet-based Xi series infrared cameras (ETH), are now equipped with modern network protocols, enabling even more seamless integration into industrial automation systems.

With the new digital interfaces, Optris supports common industrial protocols such as Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Ethernet TCP/IP, and Modbus TCP. This ensures reliable real-time transmission of temperature measurements, enhancing control and monitoring of manufacturing processes.

Robust Networking for Demanding Environments

The new Industrial Ethernet interface modules, like all previous interfaces, are seamlessly integrated into the CT electronics. Installation is simple via a 4-pin D-coded socket with IP67 protection and standardized industrial network cables.

For CSvision and Ethernet-based Xi Series (ETH), the new interfaces are provided as separate interface boxes. A wide range of cable lengths allows for perfect adaptation to different installation conditions. All components are designed to meet IP67 standards, ensuring optimal protection for industrial use in demanding production environments.

For quick and hassle-free commissioning, Optris provides pre-configured EDS and GSD files. These enable easy device implementation into existing control systems and significantly reduce integration effort. Additionally, the digital interfaces are certified to ensure seamless compatibility with common industrial standards.

Optimized Processes Through Smart Temperature Monitoring

Thanks to enhanced network connectivity, Optris' infrared temperature measurement devices can now be integrated even more precisely and flexibly into industrial processes. This enables improved process control, reduces downtime, and increases production efficiency. With these innovations, Optris once again sets new standards in non-contact temperature measurement and reinforces its commitment to innovative solutions in industrial process monitoring.
