The ProtEX-MAX™ PD8-6080 Super Snooper Modbus® scanner offers all the functionality of the ProVu PD6080 as a fully FM, CSA, ATEX, and IECEx approved explosion-proof product. It is a multi-purpose display and controller capable of scanning up to 16 Modbus process variables and includes dual analog process inputs. The scanner can be programmed as a Modbus RTU master, slave, or snooper. It is the ideal display for Modbus multivariable transmitters or for existing Modbus networks with transmitters in need of a conveniently located display in a hazardous area. The PD8-6080 includes a 24 VDC power supply to drive the transmitter and can be equipped with up to four internal relays and two 4-20 mA outputs. It can be programmed and operated without opening the housing by using the built-in SafeTouch® through-glass buttons.

Input/OutputModbus RTU over RS-485, Two analog inputs (4-20 mA, ±10 V)
DisplayUpper display: 0.60" (15 mm) high. Lower display: 0.46" (12 mm) high. Both are 6 digits (-99999 to 999999), red LEDs
Display IntensityEight user selectable intensity levels
Display Scan RateMaster/Snooper: 1/second to once every 99.9 seconds. Slave: Dependent on master device (e.g. PLC)
Over RangeDisplay flashes 999999
Under RangeDisplay flashes -99999
Display AssignmentThe top display may be assigned to PV (process values), Ch C (math channel), PV & units, tag & PV, tag-PV-units, C & units, tag-C-unit, Set point 1-8, max/min PV, max/min C. The bottom display may be assigned to all of the above, tag, or off. The tag and units are displayed alternately for 2 sec, when selected. Different tags & PVs may be selected to display on the top and bottom displays at the same time.
Programming MethodsFour through-glass SafeTouch buttons, four mechanical buttons behind glass, digital inputs, PC and ScanView software, or Modbus registers.
F4 Digital Input Contacts3.3 VDC on contact. Connect normally open contacts across F4 to COM.
F4 Digital Input Logic LevelsLogic High: 3 to 5 VDC; Logic Low: 0 to 1.25 VDC
Noise filterProgrammable from 2 to 199 (0 will disable filter)
Filter BypassProgrammable from 0.1 to 99.9% of calibrated span
RecalibrationAll ranges are calibrated at the factory. Recalibration is recommended at least every 12 months.
Max/Min DisplayMax (Peak) / min (Valley) readings reached by the process are stored until reset by the user or until power to the meter is cycled.
PasswordThree programmable passwords restrict modification of programmed settings.
Non-Volatile MemoryAll programmed settings are stored in nonvolatile memory for a minimum of ten years if power is lost.
