Product Overview
The Cerabar PMP63B is built around a piezoresistive measuring cell and offers two main sensor approaches: a metallic sensor with Contite technology for strong resistance to moisture and condensate, and a diaphragm seal version with TempC membrane for improved stability under temperature fluctuations.
It covers a pressure range from 100 mbar to 100 bar for relative and absolute pressure measurement, with a minimum calibrated span of 5 mbar and a maximum span ratio of 100:1. The device supports multiple communication options, including 4…20 mA HART, PROFIBUS PA, PROFINET with Ethernet-APL, and optional Bluetooth connectivity via the SmartBlue app.
