An AI sales agent's pressure transmitter quote, checked before it goes out

An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Turck PT1000/PT2000 pressure transmitters: the pressure range, the measuring cell, the process connection, the output, the electrical connection, the supply voltage, the loop load and the load limit it says the transmitter allows. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the type key rules Turck publishes in its catalog and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.

Scope: Turck PT1000/PT2000 pressure transmitters only: pressure range, measuring cell, process connection, output, electrical connection, supply voltage and loop load. See everything this validator covers

This validator models quotes for Turck PT1000 and PT2000 pressure transmitters, based on the public Turck PT1000/PT2000 catalog (document 100030028, 2021/05), not just the scenarios shown below.

  • Range and measuring cell — 62 pressure ranges from vacuum and compound ranges to 7,500 psi. The ceramic cell (design 10) covers ranges up to 60 bar or 750 psi, the metal cell (design 20) is needed above that, and the two lowest ranges (1 bar vacuum-to-1-bar and 1 bar) exist only with the ceramic cell.
  • Connection and output — 20 process connections (the PVDF male threads 47 and 48 only up to 16 bar), 8 outputs (4 to 20 mA, ATEX 4 to 20 mA, three voltage outputs and two ratiometric ones) and 12 electrical connections. The H1144 M12 connector is not offered with a ratiometric output, and the ATEX output is quoted only with the M12 or DIN design A connectors.
  • Electrical figures — the supply voltage range of each output, the maximum loop load for a current output (50 ohms per volt above 7 V, or above 10 V for the ATEX output), the minimum load for a voltage output, the load limit the quote states, which must equal the computed one, and a person confirming any choice the catalog does not mark as a preferred type.

Any quote for these transmitters that touches these rules is in scope — not only the scenarios pictured here. Not covered: prices (the catalog gives none, so this page shows no price build-up), the UA output, the special types, the US-market PT-13-LI3 series, temperature specifications and the differences between the PT1000 and PT2000 lines.

Where rules-based CPQ gets it wrong
Click to expand
    
Our assessment of what a typical rules-based CPQ (product rules, price rules and validation rules, as in Salesforce CPQ) does with the same cases. It is a judgment about effort and reliability, not a claim that nothing can be built.

    
What the validator caughtTypical rules-based CPQPredictika
Which of 62 ranges fit the ceramic or the metal cellOnly with workarounds
The cell depends on the range in a table of about 60 rows, and two ranges exist only in ceramic. A rules-based CPQ needs a lookup table or a rule per range, edited whenever the catalog changes.		The range is one choice, its maximum is derived and compared with the cell on every call.
Connections and electrical connections that limit each other (PVDF threads, H1144, ATEX)Only with care
Each restriction ties one choice to a limit on another field, so rules have to be written and kept in step for every pair.		Every pair is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive.
Supply voltage and loop load that depend on the outputOnly with care
The allowed supply range and the maximum load both change with the output, and the load limit is a formula in the supply voltage.		The limits are derived from the output and the supply and compared with the quote on every call.
The load limit the quote statesOnly with care
The stated number comes from a formula, so a rule has to recompute it and compare.		The stated figure is a field in the request, compared with the computed one on every call.
Every problem returned in one answerOnly with workarounds
Rules tend to fire as the quote is saved or a step is completed, so a person often fixes one error and meets the next.		All findings come back together, whatever order the choices arrived in.

  

  

    
What this validator catches: findings from its test cases

Every rule is checked on every call, in any order the choices arrive; one problem never hides another. Blocking findings stop the quote; approval findings need a person to sign off; everything else is computed.

    
1Design 10 (ceramic measuring cell) covers pressure ranges up to 60 bar or 750 psi; the selected range is higher and needs design 20 (metal measuring cell).
2The type includes 1 choice the catalog does not mark as preferred types; a person should confirm they can be supplied.
3The 1 bar ranges with vacuum or without it (1VR and 1R) are available only with the ceramic measuring cell, design 10.
4The PVDF male threads (47 and 48) are limited to ranges of 16 bar or less; the selected range is higher.
5The H1,144 M12 connector is not available with a ratiometric output.

The text of the narrated walkthrough, step by step.

    
    
      
  1. Welcome to a demo of Predictika's Validator. An AI sales agent prepares a quote for Turck PT1000/PT2000 pressure transmitters: the pressure range, the measuring cell, the process connection, and more. Before it goes out, the agent sends it to Predictika, which checks it against a declarative model of the type key rules Turck publishes in its catalog and returns a verdict, every reason and the figures it computed.
    2. 
      
  2. I will start with the first request by the agent.
    3. 
      
  3. The agent says. Please quote twenty-five Turck pressure transmitters, range 250 bar, design 20 (metal measuring cell), process connection 03, ATEX 4 to 20 mA output (IX), with electrical connection CM20. The supply is 24 volts and the loop load is 750 ohms. The rest of the request is on screen. The quote states that the transmitter allows a loop load of up to 850 ohms.
    4. 
      
  4. Before it goes out, the agent calls the validator.
    5. 
      
  5. Blocked, with three findings and one approval, all in one answer. The ATEX 4 to 20 mA output (IX) is listed with the M12 x 1 or EN 175,301-803 design A connector versions only. The loop load of 750 ohms is not below the limit of 700 ohms for this supply voltage. The quote states a loop load limit of 850 ohms; the catalog formula gives 700 ohms for this supply voltage.
    6. 
      
  6. The validator returned three blocking findings and one approval in one answer. A check that reads one field at a time would pass most of this; it shows only when the choices in the quote are checked against each other.
    7. 
      
  7. What this shows: for supply voltage and loop load that depend on the output, a rules-based CPQ is error-prone for this.
    8. 
      
  8. Now the agent resubmits.
    9. 
      
  9. The corrected request. It changes the electrical connection to DA91 DIN design A connector, the loop load to 650 and the stated load limit as to 700.
    10. 
      
  10. It calls the validator again.
    11. 
      
  11. Not blocked, but held for a person.
    12. 
      
  12. The three blocking findings are cleared; one approval remains for a person: non-preferred choices to confirm.
    13. 
      
  13. The agent resubmits once more.
    14. 
      
  14. The revised request. It changes the output to 4 to 20 ma output (i2), the electrical connection to H1143 connector and the stated load limit as to 850.
    15. 
      
  15. It calls the validator once more.
    16. 
      
  16. This time the validator clears it.
    17. 
      
  17. The earlier finding is cleared, and the validator's figure matches the quote.
    18. 
      
  18. Four problems caught in one call, fixed in two passes, and a clean quote. That is the value of Predictika's validator: catching mistakes before they reach the customer. Now you can try the other scenarios yourself.
    19.
