PR 4511 - remote access to your process values
The PR 4511 communication enabler represents PR’s innovative take on providing easy and cost-effective remote access to your process values - by enabling existing and future PR 4000 and 9000 devices for digital communication.
Smart communication with your PR devices
With the PR 4511 operational interface you can access your process values in three different ways while still preserving the analog signal. The interface offers local or remote access to your process values - monitoring, simulation and configuration.
It is designed for easy mounting - simply snap it onto the front of your installed device. No tools are necessary. It connects to standard PR 4xxx and 9xxx devices and, when mounted, PR 4511 auto-detects the device settings. You have the possibility to use password protected access to programmed parameters and to copy the unit configuration from one device to another.
Access devices in seconds - remotely
PR customers who are using the PR 4511 are telling us that they are pleased with its ability to provide remote asset management. It is especially convenient when you need to access devices in inconvenient or geographically remote areas.
With the possibility to gain remote access to installed devices there is often no need to deploy a technician to the site. Examples of such installations are:
- Wind or hydroelectric power utilities
- Water and wastewater utilities (sludge filters, pond levels, pump flows or other values)
- Petrochemical (tank farms, remote wellhead monitoring)
- Waste site remediation (monitoring of tens or hundreds of wells)
- Remote generators or pumping stations

The 4511 offers you three levels of interconnectivity; 1) on-site, 2) connected to Modbus RTU devices, 3) connected to any major communication protocols via gateway.
1. Local/ on-site access to your present and future PR 4xxx and 9xxx devices
Use the 4511 as a local operator/programming display to simulate, monitor and configure your process values on-site.
2. Connect to Modbus RTU devices
The 4511 can be connected individually or in parallel to any Modbus master directly by Modbus RTU (RS485).
A Modbus master can be a DCS system, a data logger, SCADA system (PC) or any programmable unit supporting Modbus.
The 4511 provides a seamless interface between the precise analogue measurements of our standard 4xxx/9xxx devices, and the world of ModBus RTU devices, ie. HMI, Nanodaq, etc.
3. Connect to any major communication protocols via gateway
The 4511 can connect to any major communication protocol via 3rd party gateways.
3rd party providers offer solutions converting the ModBus RTU signal to other communication protocols as needed.
