Measurement Rate of the DCT 531 Digital Pressure Transmitter
The DCT 531 digital pressure transmitter offers highly accurate pressure measurement with the following key performance metrics:
- Power-On Delay: The DCT 531 has a power-on delay time of 500 milliseconds. This means that after powering on, the device will take approximately 0.5 seconds before it is ready to provide accurate measurements.
- Measurement Rate: The typical measurement rate of the DCT 531 is 500 Hz, which translates to a measurement every 2 milliseconds (0.002 seconds). This high-frequency rate ensures that the transmitter captures rapid pressure changes in dynamic environments.
- RS485 Communication and Baud Rate Impact:
The actual number of measured values per second depends on the baud rate of the RS485 communication setup. Below is a summary of the measurement rates at different baud rates: Baud Rate Measured Values / Second 115 kBit/s Approx. 140 38.4 kBit/s Approx. 100 19.2 kBit/s Approx. 65 9.6 kBit/s Approx. 35
This variability in measured values is due to the different data transmission speeds allowed by each baud rate, affecting how quickly data can be communicated and processed.
