Key Features and Benefits
-
Maximum Channel Density: The CM448/CM448R supports up to 8 digital Memosens sensor channels, allowing connection of any combination of over 12 measurement parameters including pH, ORP, ISFET, conductivity (inductive and conductive), dissolved oxygen, chlorine, turbidity, nitrate, and sludge level.
-
Expandable Architecture: Functionality is modularly extendable at any time with additional inputs, outputs, controllers, and math modules. Optional inputs include 2x 0/4…20 mA and 2 to 4x digital inputs, while outputs include 2 to 8x 0/4…20 mA current outputs, an alarm relay, and 4x relays.
-
Seamless System Integration: A comprehensive portfolio of communication standards suits every distributed control system (DCS), including 0/4…20 mA, HART, PROFIBUS DP, Modbus RS485/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET. An integrated web server allows remote viewing of diagnostic data, configurations, and device parameters via any web browser, even on smartphones.
-
DIN-Rail Convenience (CM448R): The CM448R features a compact DIN-rail design (220 x 100 x 98 mm) that saves cabinet space, requires no cut-out in the cabinet door, and enables one-click mounting with minimized wiring.
-
Heartbeat Technology: Enables status-oriented maintenance and easy verification of the entire measuring point, helping to optimize maintenance efforts and maximize plant availability.

Endress Hauser 8-channel transmitter Liquiline CM448 CM448R
The Liquiline CM448 and CM448R are digital 8-channel multiparameter transmitters from Endress+Hauser, designed for process monitoring and control across all industries. The CM448 features a robust field housing, while the CM448R is a DIN-rail mountable version optimized for cabinet installation in space-constrained applications.
Both models support up to 8 digital Memosens sensor channels, with the ability to connect any combination of pH, ORP, ISFET, conductivity (inductive and conductive), dissolved oxygen, chlorine, turbidity, nitrate, and sludge level sensors. The transmitter’s functionality is modularly extendable at any time with additional inputs, outputs, controllers, and math modules, allowing the device to grow with changing process requirements. Optional inputs include 2x 0/4…20 mA and 2 to 4x digital inputs, while outputs include 2 to 8x 0/4…20 mA current outputs, an alarm relay, and 4x relays.
The transmitters offer clever simplicity through a single controller that handles all parameters and applications. The intuitive user interface, automatic sensor recognition, and hot plug & play capability with pre-calibrated Memosens sensors simplify commissioning and operation. Configuration can be saved on an SD card for fast setup on duplicate installations, reducing engineering time and minimizing errors.
Seamless system integration is achieved through a unique portfolio of communication standards that suits every distributed control system (DCS), including 0/4…20 mA, HART, PROFIBUS DP, Modbus RS485/TCP, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET. An integrated web server allows remote viewing of diagnostic data, configurations, and device parameters via any web browser, even on smartphones, enabling convenient remote monitoring and troubleshooting.
The CM448R features a compact DIN-rail design (220 x 100 x 98 mm) that saves cabinet space, requires no cut-out in the cabinet door, and enables one-click mounting with minimized wiring. It is ideal for skids and space-constrained installations. The CM448 field housing is constructed of PC-FR (polycarbonate) with dimensions of 237 x 194 x 162 mm and IP66/IP67 ingress protection. The CM448R DIN-rail housing is constructed of PC-FR with dimensions of 220 x 100 x 98 mm, featuring IP20 protection for the transmitter and IP66 for the optional display.
Heartbeat Technology enables status-oriented maintenance and easy verification of the entire measuring point, helping to optimize maintenance efforts and maximize plant availability. The transmitters hold EAC and cCSAus certifications.
