Logic Beach Sensors and Transducers

Overview

To assist our customers with the completion of the data acquisition system that meets their specific requirements, Logic Beach sources, qualifies and resells a variety of sensors and transducers from reputable companies. We offer these commonly deployed sensors as a convenience to our customers and because we know they work with our instruments.

Many of our customers come across applications where running wires between the data acquisition instrument and the sensor is difficult or expensive. As a solution to this problem, we now offer a suite of wireless transducer interfaces. Thermocouples, RTD,s, counts, events, 4-20mA, Vdc, etc are all supported.

Keep in mind that the following devices are but a partial offering of transducers that can readily be connected to our data acquisition instruments. Feel free to email or call Logic Beach for assistance in selection of compatible sensing devices for your application requirements.

Pressure

4-20mA
Vdc
Standard stainless steel pressure transducers;  full offering of pressure ranges and common outputs and fitting types
DC Current
4-20mA
Vdc / mVdc
Various DC current  transducers with full scale ranges up to 600Adc
AC Current
4-20mA
Vdc / mVdc
Various AC current transducers with full scale output ranges up to 2400Aac
AC Current Threshold Switches
Switched (SSR)
Current threshold sensing transducers that provide  a switched ( shorted)  output  when a user defined Aac current level is exceeded.  Commonly used for detecting cycle times, machine run times, machine state and equipment use studies. Adjustable and fixed threshold parts are available with current thresholds as low as 1.25 amps.  Multiple wire loops can be used to increase sensitivity.  Self-powered.
AC Voltage Transducers AC Voltage
4-20mA or 0-5Vdc
DIN rail or surface mountable AC Voltage transducers with isolated analog 4-20mA or Vdc outputs corresponding to sensed  Vac.  Average RMS and true RMS parts available with ranges from 50Vac to 500 Vac full scale measurement range. Single phase and 3-phase parts are available
AC Energy (kWh)
Switch (pulse)
Energy transducers with pulse  outputs corresponding to measured power over time…. i.e.  kWh energy.  Various voltages, currents and wiring configurations are supported.
AC Power - (kW)
4-20mA

Power transducers with analog outputs corresponding to instantaneous power ‘demand’ levels.  Various voltages, currents levels and wiring configurations are supported. 

Note that most of our  instruments can perform time integration of these power signals to result in a calculated Energy consumption value for logging, totalization and/or reporting.
AC Energy and Power; Multi-Parameter Transducers

Modbus RTU

(RS-485)

Multiple output parameter, electrical power transducers with Modbus outputs.  Via the Modbus  serial connection, one or more transducers can be networked to a single logger.  20+ electrical parameters can be accessed and logged and reported  including phase voltages, phase currents, PF, frequency, kW, kWh, etc.
Air Flow 

4-20mA
Pulse
Modbus RTU (RS-485)

Compressed air and nitrogen air flow transducers (commonly used in compressed air audits)
