Description
The PowerPACK PRO5 intelligent adapter is uniquely designed to provide additional power budget and multiple communication methods to drive Pyxis inline sensors to a receiving microprocessor controller or PLC with limited power supply. This auxiliary adapter has a built-in power supply with 30-Watt capability and supports up to five Pyxis sensors connected simultaneously.
The PowerPACK Pro-5 offers multiple communication platforms in both wireless and wired format to fit any application need. The wireless communication methods include Bluetooth® 5.0, LoRa and Wi-Fi and the wired communication methods include Ethernet, RS-485, 4-20mA output and USB-C. Users can choose the appropriate communication method according to the distance and application need. The PowerPACK Pro-5 is provided with a 2.4-inch display allowing users to configure any desired communication parameter as well as offering sensor reading or connection to the uPyxis 2.0 mobile or desktop apps.
The PowerPACK Pro-5 intelligent adapter can be utilized in 100VAC to 240VAC power format, with direct outlet plug-in design. Each input is specifically designed for direct connection to standard (7-Pin) Pyxis inline sensors and output is designed to be connected to the CS-FNS-2.6P (6-Pin) flying lead cable provided with the PowerPACK Pro-5 unit, then terminated to the receiving controller (see PowerPACK Pro-5 Cable Interface section for details). Conversion adapters for Pyxis 8-Pin sensors are also available allowing this device to be used with all Pyxis sensor formats.
