Absolut Company, Sweden Introducing a new industry benchmark Beamex corporate magazine • www.beamex.com

Calibration World • Spring/Summer 2012 ■ spring 2009, Beamex conducted a wide global survey of process I W "1 manufacturing companies to identify the main challenges in calibration in II I various industrial sectors. The main points of the results were published in our Calibration World issue 2 in 2009 (Current market trends in calibration). When it comes to calibrating instruments, the results from the survey indicated that the greatest challenge for companies is to be able to carry less equipment when calibrating Another important challenge is in fieldbus instruments, which, although growing...

Smart Instruments Configuring and Calibra  4  CALIBRATION WORLD SPRING / SUMMER 2012  www.beamex.com/calibrationworld

So called "smart" instruments are ever more popular in the process industry. www.beamex.com/calibrationworld CALIBRATION WORLD SPRING/SUMMER 2012 5

Smart Instruments The vast majority of delivered instruments today are smart instruments. These new smart instruments bring new challenges to the calibration and configuration processes. But what are these smart instruments and what is the best way to configure Beamex has recently introduced a new revolutionary tool, the Beamex® MC6 - Advanced Field Communicator and Calibrator, that will help to overcome these challenges. What is a "Smart" transmitter? A process transmitter is a device that senses a physical parameter (pressure, output signal proportional to the measured input. The term "smart"...

Smart Instruments the transmitter input and at the same time measure the transmitter output. In this case calibration is quite easy and straight forward; you need a dual- function calibrator able to process transmitter input and output at the same time, or alternatively two separate single-function calibrators. with output being a digital protocol signal, be calibrated? Obviously the transmitter input still needs to be with a conventional transmitter, i.e. by using a calibrator. However, to see what the transmitter output is, you will need some device or software able to read and interpret the...

COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL ■VL/U/EJHW smart instruments with the supported the protocol commands according to the transmitter's Device Description file. Any additional communicator is There are some other "smart" process calibrators on the market with limited support for different protocols, typically only for one protocol (mostly HART) and offering very limited support. In practice, a separate communicator is high-accuracy field calibrator and communicator. It offers calibration capabilities for pressure, temperature and various electrical signals. The MC6 also contains a full fieldbus communicator...

Calibration Software “Millennium Power has utilized the services of Spectra Automation for several years for I&C support during our outages. Spectra’s utilization of Beamex® CMX Professional in conjunction with their documenting MC5 Multifunction Calibrator has been especially useful. Over the years we have identified several critical transmitters that have shown a propensity to drift, necessitating their replacement, while also showing which transmitters have remained rock-steady. This has allowed us to push out their calibration frequency. The reports provided are clear, providing the necessary...
