Product Description

What Is the Cerabar PMC71B?

The Cerabar PMC71B is a smart digital pressure transmitter from Endress+Hauser.
It uses a dry, oil-free ceramic measuring cell to measure pressure.
It’s part of the “Cerabar” family — designed for robust and reliable pressure measurement, especially in challenging process environments.

Key Specifications

Here are some of its main technical characteristics:

Parameter	Value / Details
Pressure Range	100 mbar … 40 bar (≈ 1.5 psi … 600 psi)
Accuracy	Standard: up to ± 0.05% Platinum version: up to ± 0.025%
Process Temperature	–40 °C … +150 °C (–40 °F … +302 °F)
Wetted (Process) Materials	Ceraphire ceramic; seal materials: FKM, EPDM, HNBR, Perlast, Kalrez, Chemraz
Membrane / Sensing Element	Ceramic membrane
Power / Communication	Supports 4-20 mA output; also supports digital communication (HART, etc.) through configuration

Special Features & Advantages

Vacuum Resistance: The PMC71B is fully vacuum resistant up to +150 °C, making it suitable for vacuum applications.
High Purity & Durability: The ceramic measuring cell is very resistant to corrosive or abrasive media, offering long-term stability.
Membrane Breakage Detection: It has built-in diagnostics to detect if the ceramic diaphragm is damaged, improving safety.
Heartbeat Technology: This enables continuous self-diagnostics and monitoring, so you can detect anomalies like loop characteristic changes while the device is running.
Remote Configuration: The device can be configured and controlled wirelessly via a secure Bluetooth connection using the SmartBlue app.
User-Friendly Software: Setup, proof tests, and verification are streamlined via intuitive wizards — simplifies commissioning and maintenance.
SIL Capability: It supports safety integrity levels (SIL) and guided proof testing, helping reduce systematic failures.

Typical Applications

Vacuum Systems: Because of its vacuum resistance and ceramic cell, it's ideal for vacuum pressure measurement.
Aggressive Media: Suitable for corrosive or abrasive fluids/gases due to the ceramic membrane.
Process Monitoring: In critical processes where you need to continuously monitor the health of the transmitter (via Heartbeat Technology).
Hygienic / High-Purity: Where contamination or leakage of process fluid must be avoided.

Limitations & Considerations

Ceramic sensors can be more expensive than metallic ones, so cost may be higher, especially for simple, non-aggressive applications.
While robust, it needs to be correctly configured (range, output, diagnostics) to get full value from features like self-verification.
Bluetooth setup is very convenient, but in some highly restricted or classified zones, remote wireless configuration may not be desirable — check your process safety policy.
