Process Moisture Measurement Devices

MESA M-PIM-0212 Process Interface Module

The M-PIM-0212 Process Interface Module digitally interfaces with up to 16 individual MESA TRIME-GW moisture measurement transmitters or SM-TEMP modules using the two-wire IMPbus (serial data bus).

Based on a proven SBC the M-PIM-0212 converts the GW's IMPbus data to RS-232 serial level. The MESA control software running on the M-PIM single board computer scans the measured moisture data, identification and settings. The M-PIM Control software formats the measured percent moisture and temperature values along with MESA TRIME-GW control settings, statistical information, TDR level, standard deviation, error message values, and calibration coefficient settings and offset settings for a complete digital interface through the PLC.

The TRIME-GW percent moisture and temperature sensor data is transmitted to the process control system via one of two methods: push or pull. The "push" method is used with PLC systems; the PIM writes the sensor data directly to the PLC data table via a client protocol (such as Allen-Bradley DF1, Ethernet or Modicon Modbus TCP, etc.). The "pull" method is used with SCADA systems (such as Wonderware, etc.); the PIM emulates a Modicon PLC at its Ethernet and/or serial port and the external process polls the PIM for the data it wants. The PIM has two separate operator interface systems: a video screen interface for diagnostics and troubleshooting and a Web-based interface for configuration.
