JUMO Introduces dsensTEMP Digital Temperature Sensor

Measurement and sensor technology specialist JUMO has launched the new dsensTEMP digital temperature sensor, designed for high-precision measurements and maximum flexibility in demanding industrial applications. Covering a temperature range of -55 to +150 °C with a high measuring accuracy of 0.2 °C, the sensor delivers exact feedback on process temperatures. A key feature of the sensor is communication via a 1-Wire^® interface. This enables direct, digital signal transmission without drift behavior and remains immune to electromagnetic interference even over cable lengths of up to 100 meters.

Traceability and Tamper Resistance
Thanks to integrated ID recognition, the sensor ensures clear traceability, which is a major advantage in the event of damage or a sensor replacement. Furthermore, the built-in digital temperature chip provides an additional layer of tampering protection and security through an encryption key. The robust stainless steel protective sleeve qualifies the dsensTEMP for a wide range of applications, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), drinking water production, and, in the future, hydrogen technology. Initially available as a basic plug-in variant, a screw-in version is already planned by the manufacturer. Viola Thiessen, Product Manager at JUMO, emphasized that the sensor is engineered to guarantee maximum process reliability and traceability.

Additional Context: Technological Background and Market Dynamics
This section provides technological and market-specific background information not explicitly mentioned in the original press release.

In industrial temperature measurement, traditional analog resistance thermometers (such as Pt100) or thermocouples have long dominated. However, these are often susceptible to cable losses and electromagnetic interference, sometimes requiring complex wiring since lead resistances can directly impact the analog measurement signal. By contrast, the 1-Wire technology used in the dsensTEMP transmits temperature data fully digitally right from the measuring point. The 1-Wire bus system also allows data transmission (and often power supply) to run over a single wire plus ground, connecting multiple sensors in series to a single string. This significantly reduces installation and cabling effort in extensive systems. The additional integration of a digital key for tamper security addresses the rapidly growing importance of cybersecurity in connected automation and OT (Operational Technology) environments.
