The Entek XM®series from Rockwell Automation is the world’s first machine monitoring and protection system designed as a distributed network of modules deployed on an open standard industrial bus.
The XM-361 Universal Temperature Module and the XM-362 Isolated TC Temperature Module are intelligent 6-channel temperature monitors. Each module is a complete temperature monitoring system in a compact, easily installed, easily maintained package. Each channel of the XM-361 module can be configured to measure either an RTD or an isolated thermocouple while the XM-362 is designed specifically for thermocouple measurements - isolated or grounded.
For applications where it is not possible to integrate XM® data directly via DeviceNet the modules provide standard 4-20mA outputs for each channel. And for applications requiring integral relays the modules support linking of up to two XM-441 Expansion Relay modules thereby providing a total capacity of up to 8 relays.
The XM-361 and XM-362 Temperature Modules can operate stand alone, with no interface to higher-level control systems or interactive user interfaces. They can also be deployed on a standard or dedicated DeviceNet network where they can provide real-time data and status information to other XM® modules, PLC’s, DCS and Condition Monitoring Systems.
Configuration can be performed remotely via the DeviceNet network, or locally by a PC connected to the integral serial interface. For local configuration, a Serial Configuration Utility is packaged with every Entek XM® measurement and relay module sold.
