SITRANS TS100 is designed to provide precise temperature measurements. It is compatible with a wide range of temperature - sensing elements, including thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). The transmitter converts electrical signals from sensors into a standardized, highly - accurate output. This accuracy is crucial in food processing. Precise temperature control during cooking, baking or refrigeration impacts product quality and safety. For instance, in a bakery, the SITRANS TS100 measures oven temperature to ensure optimal bread - baking.

The design team creates this temperature transmitter with a compact form, allowing easy installation in space - constrained industrial environments. Installers can mount it directly on a DIN rail, making it a convenient choice for control cabinets and other electrical enclosures. The flexibility of its design also enables its use in different process configurations. Whether it's a simple temperature - monitoring application in a small workshop or a complex temperature - control system in a large chemical plant, the SITRANS TS100 can adapt to the requirements. In a chemical plant, for instance, it can be installed near reactors to monitor the temperature of chemical reactions.

Siemens builds the SITRANS TS100 to withstand tough industrial conditions. They use durable materials for its enclosure, which offers excellent protection against dust, water, and other contaminants. This robust construction ensures that the transmitter can operate reliably even in environments with high levels of humidity, like in a paper - manufacturing plant where workers constantly use water in the production process. Additionally, it can handle a wide range of operating temperatures, allowing it to function in both hot and cold industrial settings without a significant loss of performance.

It provides a variety of output signals, such as 4 - 20 mA current signals or digital communication signals. Industrial automation professionals commonly use the 4 - 20 mA output as a standard, allowing them to easily integrate it with other control and monitoring devices, such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and recorders. The digital communication options, like HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol, allow for more advanced configuration and remote access. This means that operators can adjust the transmitter's settings and access temperature data from a remote location, improving the efficiency of process monitoring and control. In a power - generation facility, for example, operators can use the digital communication capabilities of the SITRANS TS100 to send temperature data to a central control room for real - time analysis and decision - making.
