About West Control Solutions CI 45 Rail Line Systems
For many demanding applications, Rail Line’s compact, multipurpose, and adaptable design provides accurate measurement, dependable limit monitoring, and stable control.

The Rail Line product line includes temperature limiters, controllers, transmitters, I/O modules, communication field bus couplers, and transmitters for strain gauge sensors for regulating, measuring, converting, and monitoring.
Description CI 45 Rail Line Systems
The purpose of UNIFLEX CI 45 transmitters is to provide accurate and economical signal processing and detecting capabilities.At least one universal input, one universal output, and a relay are included with every CI 45. A second relay with a second universal input and a counter or frequency input can optionally be added to the transmitter. It is also possible to use the voltage output as a frequency output. Galvanic isolation is offered from the supply voltage, the communication interfaces, and between inputs and outputs.
Mounting
The compact CI 45 is clipped onto a top-hat DIN rail and can also be unmounted very simply. All connections are of the plugin type, so that a transmitter can be replaced very quickly without disturbing the wiring.
Display and operation
The two-line LC display permits simultaneous indication of the measured value and all of the unit’s operating functions. Moreover, a LED and 4 other display elements give a reliable indication of operating status, operating mode, and error messages. The user-configurable engineering unit of the measured value can be included in the display. By means of the extended Operating Level, it is possible to show any signal or parameter in the 2nd display line.
Interfaces and Engineering Tools
The transmitter settings are also configurable by means of an Engineering Tool. Via the BlueControl® software,including the transmitter simulation and especially the convenient connection via the BluePort® front interface, the user can solve the task in hand without having to work through operating instructions. Of course, practically all settings can also be made from the device front. Moreover, the CI 45 can exchange data with supervisory systems and PCs via an optional RS 485 interface with MODBUS RTU protocol that is fitted into the top-hat DIN rail. Devices with option system interface can be connected via bus coupler to fieldbusses.
Password protection
If required, unauthorized access to the various Operating Levels can be prevented with a password, or an entire level can be blocked.
