INOR Process AB – Focused on the Temperature Measurement Chain
INOR is a specialized manufacturer of temperature transmitters and signal interface modules designed for reliable operation in industrial environments. Their solutions cover the typical measurement chain: sensor → transmitter → 4–20 mA current loop (and/or HART) → PLC/DCS, as well as modules for galvanic isolation, mitigation of ground-loop effects, and input protection.
- Temperature transmitters: IPAQ C (head-mounted), IPAQ R (DIN-rail)
- Pt100 applications: IPAQ C202
- Isolation/signal conditioning: IsoPAQ
- Integration: 4–20 mA / HART, configuration (model-dependent) via NFC/Bluetooth
- INOR Connect – configuration (model-dependent) via NFC/Bluetooth
Why INOR (through Comeco)?
Universal input flexibility and linearization
Support for Pt100/Pt1000, thermocouples (K, J, T…), mV and Ω (depending on the specific model), with options for range and characteristic configuration.
HART-based configuration and diagnostics
Ideal for systems requiring digital overlay, identification, diagnostics, and service.
Convenient on-site configuration (NFC/Bluetooth)
On selected models (e.g., IPAQ C330, IPAQ C530) — easier setup without a wired HART modem (model-/variant-dependent).
Signal integrity and galvanic isolation
IsoPAQ solutions for input protection, elimination of ground loops, and stable analog signals in noisy environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I choose a head-mounted transmitter (IPAQ C) instead of a DIN-rail transmitter (IPAQ R)?
A head-mounted unit (IPAQ C330/C530) is the best choice when you want the conversion as close to the sensor as possible. This converts the low-level RTD/TC (mV/Ω) signal to 4–20 mA right in the head, making it more immune to interference along the cable run. This is typical for temperature probes/heads, OEM sensors, and on-site retrofits.
A DIN-rail unit (IPAQ R530) is more suitable when you have a centralized cabinet, many measurement points, and you want servicing/replacement in the panel (easier access), often in PLC/DCS panels and measurement stations. The R530 is a universal HART transmitter for DIN rail, designed for high requirements in accuracy and reliability.
What do I need for HART configuration and diagnostics (e.g., C530 / R530)?
For HART models (e.g., IPAQ C530 and IPAQ R530) you typically have two engineering options:
-
HART modem/communicator + software → full access to parameters, tags, diagnostics, and status. The C530 is HART 7 and offers advanced diagnostics (device errors, sensor/wiring conditions, etc.).
-
With the IPAQ C530 (and some wireless variants), you can use NFC/Bluetooth for configuration/monitoring (convenient for on-site work and service), while HART remains available for integration and diagnostics in the control system.
Rule of thumb: if the customer has DCS/AMS/asset management, HART is almost always a plus for diagnostics and documentation.
I have “floating” readings/noise/ground loops — how does IsoPAQ help and when is it needed?
With long cable runs, differing ground potentials, proximity to VFDs/inverters, and general industrial noise, you’ll often encounter:
-
ground loops,
-
parasitic currents/voltages,
-
a “floating” zero signal and instability on 4–20 mA inputs.
In that case, galvanic isolation (e.g., IsoPAQ solutions) separates the “field” from the “control” side and breaks the path of parasitic currents, improving stability and protecting inputs. (Conceptually this is their main role; the specific IsoPAQ model is selected based on signal type and the required isolation.)
Pt100: 2/3/4-wire — what should I choose and how do cables affect it?
-
2-wire: simplest, but the cable resistance adds error → suitable only for short cables / lower accuracy requirements.
-
3-wire: the industrial standard — compensates for lead resistance provided the conductors are similar (length/cross-section).
-
4-wire: most accurate — virtually eliminates cable effects; used for high accuracy and/or long cable runs.
For Pt100-focused applications, the IPAQ C202 (per the datasheet) uses a 3-wire Pt100 connection and provides a temperature-linear 4–20 mA output.
For the universal C530/R530 (variant-dependent), you often have 2/3/4-wire options on the RTD inputs—convenient when retrofitting different installations.
Which model should I choose: C202 vs C330 vs C530 vs R530 (quick engineering rule)?
-
Pt100-only, standard RTD application + convenient maintenance/interval tracking → IPAQ C202 (Pt100, runtime counter).
-
Universal head-mounted + convenient mobile configuration (NFC/Bluetooth) → IPAQ C330.
-
Universal head-mounted + HART 7 + advanced diagnostics + NFC/Bluetooth → IPAQ C530.
-
Universal DIN-rail + HART (cabinet/panel) → IPAQ R530.
