Power the Loop

The Trex communicator includes built-in functionality to power

a device. Simply connect the communicator to an instrument

to power it. Technicians no longer waste time rounding up a

power supply or confirming adequate loop resistance before

testing, speeding configuration on the bench.

Power the loop functionality allows device configuration in the

field on new projects—even before power and I/O infrastructure

are in place. Transmitter configuration no longer needs to be

the last step of new projects. Configure transmitters before the

host system, wiring, piping, and other project elements arrive,

keeping transmitter configuration from being a critical path

item, allowing more flexibility in new project scheduling and

leading to faster startups.

Powering devices from the communicator allows you to isolate

the device from the rest of the system, helping you identify

installation problems like power supply, wiring, I/O card,

and configuration issues.
