INFOSENSE™ Sensor Technology
INFOSENSE™ sensor technology instantly improves the accuracy of thermocouple and RTD sensors by a minimum of 50 percent. Thermocouples manufactured are calibrated to determine whether they are standard or special limits accuracy. The sensor error is then described throughout its full temperature range with a polynomial curve. INFOSENSE technology takes four points from that calibration curve using four three-digit numbers and a bar code on a tag attached to each sensor. The user then enters each value into a compatible controller’s memory through the controller’s standard menu or bar code data port. INFOSENSE-compatible electronics use these four data points to reconstruct a simple three-line segment error connection. Entering these codes immediately improves accuracy across the entire temperature range by approximately 50 percent or more.
