Product Q&A
Q: What is the main difference between the PFEA111 and PFEA112? A: The PFEA112-20 includes a Profibus-DP communication interface, which the basic PFEA111 models typically lack.
Q: Can this module be used with different types of load cells? A: It is specifically optimized for use with ABB’s Pressductor® technology load cells for maximum accuracy.
Q: Is there an IP65 version of this electronics? A: Yes, while the 3BSE050091R20 is the IP20 DIN rail version, ABB also offers the PFEA112 in a rugged IP65 wall-mount housing.
