PEPPERL+FUCHS HiD2082 Temperature Converter

The PEPPERL+FUCHS HiD2082 serves as a critical component for precision temperature monitoring in industrial settings. This compact converter translates signals from thermocouples, RTDs, and other sensors into standardized 4-20mA or 1-5V outputs, making it indispensable for maintaining process stability in applications ranging from chemical processing to power generation.

Technical Specifications

In practice, this converter shines when integrated into complex systems requiring fail-safe temperature monitoring. One customer in a chemical plant noted how its Line Fault Detection caught a thermocouple wire break during a critical reaction phase. We regularly pair this device with ABB’s DSQC robot modules, GE’s VMIVME-7750 cards, and Bently Nevada 3500 vibration monitoring systems – combinations we’ve refined through years of deploying control solutions across oil & gas, manufacturing, and energy sectors.

What sets the HiD2082 apart is its dual focus on safety and adaptability. The SIL 2 rating means it meets rigorous safety standards for hazardous environments, while DIP switch configuration lets technicians toggle between current/voltage outputs without software tools. Its 6.5kV input isolation and three-wire RTD compensation ensure measurement accuracy even in electrically noisy settings. The built-in red LED fault indicator provides immediate visual alerts – a feature that’s saved multiple clients from prolonged downtime during sensor failures. When mounted on DIN rails alongside Triconex safety modules or Foxboro FBM204 I/O cards, it forms part of a robust control architecture that’s both scalable and easy to maintain.
