JUMO GmbH & Co. KG

The JUMO dicoTEMP 100 is a smart fitting with which various temperature measurements can be taken with one thermostat or dial thermometer and a platinum-chip temperature sensor from just one measuring point. The resistance signal is transformed into an analog or digital signal with the use of a transmitter.

The JUMO dicoTEMP 100 combines the strengths of several JUMO devices. With the new solution, users can continue to use any devices that are already part of the process at the same measuring point and, at the same time, extend them functionally with electrical temperature measurement.

The combination of a platinum-chip temperature sensor and a thermostat or dial thermometer in one fitting significantly reduces planning and installation effort.

The fitting is made from stainless steel and is available in different connection types: for screwing in or inserting to a flat tube. The insertion length varies between 65 and 300 mm, depending on the customer's wishes. The JUMO dicoTEMP 100 can be used at process temperatures ranging between -40 and +260 °C.

A resistance signal is transferred via an industry-standard M12 connector. Using a cable transmitter, other output signals can be relayed in an analog (4 to 20 mA) or digital (IO-Link) manner, which ensures the highest degree of flexibility in data use. In addition, great variability results from the use of different device types, platinum sensors, and probes as well as immersion sleeve diameters.

Its Plug and Play functionality makes the JUMO dicoTEMP 100 the ideal partner for retrofitting existing equipment such as transformers, compressors, and hydraulic units.

Highly scalable paperless recorder with intuitive operation

The JUMO LOGOSCREEN 700 is the new top-of-the range model from the successful JUMO paperless recorder series. It is highly scalable in terms of measurement input and output cards so that it can be adapted flexibly to different applications. These equipment options range from a device version without measurement input to versions with a maximum of 18 measurement inputs, 3 analog outputs, 18 digital inputs, 24 individually switchable digital inputs and outputs, and 7 relay outputs.

The device comes with a shallow depth of just 119 mm, thereby saving valuable space during installation. Furthermore, startup of the device is reliable and simple due to PUSH IN terminals. The 5.7" TFT color screen is touch based. The ICON-based system in most cases only requires a maximum of 3 "touch movements" to display the requested process data.

Through a PROFINET interface up to 60 analog and digital channels can be recorded as well as 120 external analog and digital inputs displayed. The device also has up to 8 counter inputs, which facilitates flow measurement based on fast digital pulse generators.

Manipulation detection based on the latest hash algorithms with digital certificate ensures the highest level of security during data acquisition. A sealable terminal cover on the rear for the connections provides protection against unauthorized access to the sensor terminals.

Plant visualization or the display of process states is possible with up to 10 customer-specific process screens. Each of these can display up to 100 objects. By using "structured texts" (ST code) individual applications are implemented in a flexible manner. As a result the recording process data is even more reliable and incorrect entries are avoided. The process values can be displayed using an app on smartphones or tablets.

In the diagram view, the user can activate up to 2 help lines per measuring channel. This gives the user a faster overview and evaluation of process limits on the recorder and the PC. It also provides security when evaluating critical process signals.

Data is recorded in a variable memory cycle as of 125 ms and saved on a 1 GB internal memory medium. USB flash drives can be used as external storage devices. For documentation verification of quality-related data the user has access to up to 5 adaptable batch reports with automatic batch printout.

The JUMO LOGOSCREEN 700 has cULus approval, which is important for the North American market, and supports the FDA-compliant data recording according to 21 CFR Part 11. Furthermore, it meets the heat treatment requirements according to AMS2750 und CQI-9.

Digital conductivity transmitter sensor technology with IO-Link

JUMO digiLine is the bus-compatible connection system for digital sensors in liquid analysis. The digiLine sensors for conductive (CR) and inductive (Ci) measurement of electrolytic conductivity are new to the range. JUMO is currently the only manufacturer in the world that can supply a variant with an IO-Link interface.

JUMO digiLine allows for operation of up to six digital sensors on the JUMO AQUIS touch S (P) transmitter or up to 62 on the JUMO mTRON T measurement, control, and automation system. Consequently, both the operation of individual measuring points as well as the setup of extensive sensor networks is possible.

Automatic integration into the JUMO digiLine sensor network thanks to the intelligent Plug and Play software "DSM Tool" makes startup child's play.

The conductivity measurement devices supplement the JUMO digiLine sensor range. Up until now it covered measurands for pH, redox, temperature, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, as well as water disinfection variables such as free chlorine.

The application area is universal. Versions are available for all water qualities ranging from ultrapure water in pharmaceutical/for injection (WFI) quality with conductance values from 0.05 µS/cm to measurands in highly concentrated liquids of up to 2,000 mS/cm. Tried-and-tested analog sensors in the hygienic or standard design type will be enhanced with JUMO's digiLine electronic components to become intelligent, smart sensors.

JUMO digiLine Cr/Ci sensors are available with integrated electronic components or detached electronic head and cable connection. The detached version can easily master problematic installation situations (heat emission, vibrations).

An RS485 interface with extended Modbus protocol serves as the digiLine interface. As a result, the sensors can be integrated into standard Modbus RTU networks.

The Modbus version will be made available at the same time as a digital version with IO-Link interface. This is the first electrolytic conductivity measurement anywhere in the automation industry that can be integrated in machines and plants with IO-Link infrastructure. JUMO has therefore developed a clear strategy for the expansion of the IO-Link sensor range. Sensors for temperature and pressure are already available.

Customer projects have been successfully implemented in various industries

In the fall of 2017, JUMO presented plastoSENS technology, an innovative and globally unique process for the production of temperature measurement technology from high-performance plastics. Since then the first individual customer projects have been implemented.

JUMO plastoSENS T temperature probes are voltage and vibration resistant as well as absolutely waterproof. Furthermore, they are characterized by their absolute design freedom and adapt to the respective installation situation. In addition to 4 standard products for different application areas, various special versions are now also available. These JUMO plastoSENS products were developed in close collaboration with customers.

Special production for motor windings

Sensors that are installed in insulating hoses have been usually used up to now for temperature measurement in motor windings.  This often resulted in a lack of tightness and the sensor was at risk of breaking. Another problem was the comparatively low dielectric strength. In collaboration with various well-known manufacturers, a JUMO plastoSENS T probe that does not have all these disadvantages was therefore developed. The probe can be used in temperature ranges between -40 and +200 °C, can easily be glued into the motor winding, and has a pulse voltage resistance of up to 8 kV. In addition, the probe makes an impression with a shock resistance of more than 100 g and can be used as a standard-compliant measuring probe according to DIN EN 61800-5-1:11-2017.

Temperature measurement in premium washing and drying machines

JUMO has developed 2 JUMO plastoSENS T products for temperature monitoring in washing and drying machines in a professional environment. To measure the surface temperature a probe that can be automatically loaded in the customer's production facility and that is optimized for robot handling was designed. A material mix of a heat conducting and a non heat conducting plastic, which are absolutely firmly connected together, is used here.

DFM – digital free-form multisensor technology

This project allows JUMO to look to the future of plastic sensor technology. The focus here is on a so-called modular system in which sensor technology for various measurands such as temperature, moisture, pressure, or force are installed in plastic housing. Through energy harvesting the modules supply themselves with energy. The sensor signals are transmitted wirelessly via a Bluetooth interface. Up to 16 such sensor modules can then be connected to a gateway receiver.

The first planned development with this technology entails the extension of the existing JUMO plastoSENS T04 pipe surface probe through a DFM module. Up to 3 pipe surface probes each could then be operated without auxiliary energy using a module that transmits the measurement signals wirelessly.

Hygienic pressure transmitter with protection classes up to IP69

The pressure transmitter JUMO TAROS S46 H is designed according to hygienic requirements for precision measurement and longevity. The high-level protection type and the fully welded, compact design enable residue-free cleaning processes and high temperature compatibility for SIP and CIP processes. Its excellent active temperature compensation ensures exact pressure measurements and thereby improved process reliability.

JUMO TAROS S46 H is an ideal partner for the food industry, CIP and SIP applications, sterilizers, and autoclaves as well as for all hygienic pressure measurement applications. The pressure transmitter also ensures maximum operational safety in the pharmaceutical, medical, and biotechnology industries. Protection classes from IP65 to IP69 enable use in all areas, regardless of the environmental influences. The use of FDA compliant materials and hygienic process connections (clamp, VARIVENT, JUMO PEKA) guarantees safety and good cleanability.

The default measuring ranges of the JUMO TAROS S46 H are between 0 and 100 bar. An autoclavable version is available for special applications. The medium temperature can be between -40 and +125 °C. For a maximum of 1 hour per day the medium temperature can even be at 140 °C, which is ideal for CIP and SIP applications. Linearity and long-term stability are both very low at 0.1 %. The total accuracy at 20 °C is at the most 0.25 % of the measuring span.

The zero point correction can easily be carried out with a magnet (e.g. after the autoclave process). This way, the pressure transmitter delivers reliable measured values even over a long period.

A small device that houses a vast number of functions

The electronic thermostat for DIN-rail mounting, JUMO eTRON T100, was especially designed for temperature control and monitoring. In addition to the input signals for RTD temperature probes and thermocouples a 0(4) to 20 mA measurement input is available for connecting other process variables.

The JUMO eTRON T100 sets itself apart with its compact size and large functional range, including – among other things – an integrated timer, data logger, service and operating hours counter, PhotoMOS output for additional limit value signaling, and digital input. Digital control signals can be used to create logical connections (AND, OR, XOR), which are processed internally.

The device has UL approval and also meets the railway industry standards for category 1B. Relevant measurement inputs, such as the Ni1000, have been integrated specifically to satisfy the requirements of this industry.

The JUMO eTRON T100 has a user-configurable dot-matrix display on which process values, parameters, switching statuses, and the electric connection diagram can be viewed.

A clearly-structured operating concept supported by additional texts (4 languages are already available in the device) as well as practical and quick wiring via vibration-proof PUSH IN terminals enable a quick and easy startup. Alternatively, the device can also be configured via a setup program and the micro USB interface, which is built in as a standard feature.

Its compact design type allows the JUMO eTRON T100 to be integrated with ease into control cabinets and sub-distribution units.

JUMO introduces first products with IO-Link

The first JUMO products with an IO link interface are now on the market through the dTRANS p35 pressure sensor and the dTRANS T1000 temperature sensor. Both sensors have a wide application range – from tool machines to the food industry.

The JUMO dTRANS p35 pressure sensor covers a measuring range from -1 to 600 bar. Its accuracy at an ambient temperature of +20 °C is 0.5 % of the measuring span and its long-term stability is less than 0.2 %. The JUMO dTRANS T1000 temperature sensor works with a tried-and-tested Pt1000 element sensor from JUMO. Its measuring range is between -50 and +260 °C. Both sensors have different switching functions such as switching point, adjustable hysteresis, switching delay, or window function.

JUMO dTRANS p35 and dTRANS T1000 sensors with IO link interface can be configured with identical software and offer a wide range of process connections. The PEKA process connection adapter system from JUMO enables the pressure sensor to also be used in the pharmaceutical and food industries (e.g. in beverage filling plants).

IO-Link is a pioneering communication system for connecting intelligent sensors and actuators to automation systems. The standardization covers the electrical connection data and a digital communication protocol which is used by the sensors and actuators to exchange data with an automation system.

The system offers clear benefits: a three-wire connection with an M12 plug connection enables simple integration into established fieldbus systems and, therefore, communication to the lowest field level. Sensors can be replaced much easier and machines as well as plants can be started up more quickly. The cabling work is also significantly reduced.

JUMO variTRON 500 as the "totally integrated solution"

JUMO is starting a new era of automation with the JUMO variTRON 500 central processing unit. In terms of technical possibilities the system plays in the top class of embedded systems and proves itself with the high speed performance and flexible operating philosophy.

For the first time, a completely new hardware and software platform is being used in the JUMO variTRON 500. During its development, "scalability" had the highest priority. The result is modular, flexible, and, above all, sustainable. The basis of the JUMO variTRON 500 is a hardware platform with an 800 MHz processor which can be used as a single, dual, or quad core variant depending on the application.

The software has a modular structure based on a Linux platform and enables excellent scalability for performance, memory, and interfaces. Another special feature is a customer-specific configuration and process data editor.

Several operator stations can be integrated into the system via CODESYS TargetVisu or CODESYS WebVisu as well as up to 64 intelligent connection modules.

In the future, JUMO will provide visualization libraries for individual customer-specific operation via CODESYS TargetVisu or CODESYS WebVisu. Flexibility is also made possible by the integration of all important fieldbus systems via CODESYS (such as Modbus RTU or TCP master and slave, PROFINET IO controller, EtherCAT master, and OPC UA server).

In the future, a PROFINET IO device interface will allow an alternative connection to higher-level control systems via Modbus TCP.
