WORKING PRINCIPLE Unequalled precision and long term stability for your measurements! DPharp digital sensor uses two single crystal silicon resonators vibrating at their natural frequencies. When pressure is applied, one of the resonators goes into tension, while the other goes into compression mode. The CPU directly counts the sensor output frequencies without any additional A/D conversion. Due to the excellent elastic properties of silicon material, the DPharp sensor exhibits greater linearity and repeatability, with no inherent hysteresis. Resonant sensor also provides a large output...

FIELD DIGITAL SOLUTIONS Knowledge IEC61508 Certified Safety as Standard, Not an Option! DPharp is an active pressure sensor, so even with no pressure applied the resonators oscillate at their natural frequencies. Two independent resonators are utilized. If either one or both fail, the transmitter diagnostics detects a capsule error. DPharp sensor is inherently fail-safe with no undiscovered failure modes. A patented reverse calculation algorithm validates internal measurements, calculations and detects any malfunction of the CPU. DPharp transmitters are capable of SIL2 single use and SIL3...

DISPLAY CAPABILITY Intelligent indicator clearly displays multiple process variables, user configurable engineering units, communication protocol, output status and diagnostics by alpha-numeric and bargraph display. When using digital protocol, details of instrument model, protocol version and device revision are indicated at start-up. Descriptive alarm messages display abnormalities clearly to simplify troubleshooting. Robustness of installed instrumentation greatly impacts their reliability and thereby plant availability. DPharp transmitters are designed for harsh industrial environments...

MULTI-VARIABLE TRANSMITTER Dimensional Stability Discharge Coefficient, Reynolds Number Density Velocity, Viscosity EJX900 multi-variable transmitter successfully integrates the DPharp multi-sensing capability with an onboard flow computer and can be configured for multi-variable (DP, SP, T) or dynamically compensated massflow outputs. Dynamic flow compensation allows the EJX900 multi-variable transmitter to eliminate inherent errors in the DP flow calculations at actual operating condition and to model the flow profile more precisely. Extensive range of primary elements and process fluids...
