PR505 module in narrow DIN rail enclosure: SW1, SW2 and SW3 buttons, LEDs and numbered screw terminals

4-20 mA to CAN bus, with Wi-Fi

Article number PR505x510

The PR505x510 measures a 4-20 mA signal, for example from a pressure or level sensor, and sends the value periodically as a message on a CAN bus. This lets you add an analogue sensor to a machine or vehicle with a CAN network. The message ID, the send interval and the scaling are set through the Wi-Fi hotspot.

Supply 12 and 24 V DC, operating range 11 to 30 V DC
Input 4-20 mA
Output CAN bus; value as a message with adjustable ID and send interval
