About ABB Gauge pressure transmitter PGS300

The all rounder gauge pressure transmitter PGS300 represents the latest evolutionary step in the wide ABB pressure transmitters portfolio.

With the new Backlight display and optional Bluetooth, Digital Advanced Diagnostic feature and the QR code ensure a top-level usability experience.

Users can easily find the right application solution for their measurement needs with an excellent precision for pressure, level and flow measurements with advanced materials availability to withstand highly critical process fluids and hydrogen permeation condition (H-Shield).

The PGS300 have a straightforward accuracy performance level +/- 0.055% of span, full process compatibility to highest industry standard (e.g. NACE, ASME, etc.), manifolds M26 mounting option and combined multiple certifications (i.e. ATEX/IECEx/CSA North America and others).

SIL 2/3 certificate (COMING SOON) according to IEC 61508 standaRd for use in safety instrumented systems for SIL2 applications in a single transmitter configuration (1oo1) and for SIL3 applications in a redundant configuration (1oo2).

PGS300 features WirelessHART (COMING SOON) communication protocol allowing the addition of pressure measurement points throughout your operation. You can now monitor hard-to-reach locations and keep your employees out of dangerous and hazardous areas. The transmitters have a battery life of about 10 years at 32 sec update rates, delivering a very cost-effective and reliable solution to monitor your process assets.

Shorten installation times by eliminating complex wired infrastructures, and lower overall implementation costs of process measurement, with ABB wireless devices featuring WirelessHART communications Measurement made easy.

The PGS300 with Modbus (COMING SOON) protocol of communication provides the user precise measurements of gauge pressure and optional process temperature (the latter by means of an externally connected Pt100 resistance temperature detector) in a single device. Information is available to any host device that can communicate using Modbus protocol.
