Fieldbus systems increase efficiency and cost savings by lowering commissioning costs and by delivering better and more detailed informationto support maintenance operations. Although fieldbus transmitters represent advanced technology; they still need to be calibrated.
Until now, calibrating fieldbus transmitters has been complicated andtime-consuming –it has required typically two persons and a fieldbus system that is in operational use. Because of this, there has been an evident need for a practical calibration solution that would allow fieldbus transmitters to be calibrated easily and efficiently. Beamex hasdeveloped the MC5 Fieldbus Calibrator as a solution to this need. Claiming to be the world’s first fieldbus calibrator, the MC5 can be usedfor calibrating Foundation Fieldbus H1 or Profibus PA transmitters.
The MC5 Fieldbus Calibrator is a combination of a multifunction calibrator and a fieldbus configurator. The MC5 is a compact, easy-to-use and field compatible calibration solution that offers a variety offunctionality. The fieldbus functions in the MC5 include reading digital ou tput of the fieldbus transmitter, changing the configurations oftransmitters and transmitter trimming. Calibrating fieldbus transmitters with the MC5 requires only one person and the calibration resultsare automatically documented.
The MC5 can be used for various other calibrations as well; it is a calibrator that provides high accuracy and versatility. The MC5 is an all-in-one documenting, multifunction calibrator. It has calibration capabilities for pressure, temperature, electrical and frequency signals. The MC5 also supports HART communication. The modular construction of the MC5 provides flexibility foruser-specific requirements.
Beamex is a leading manuafacturerof calibration equipment as well as an innovator within the field of calibration. “The introduction of a portable fieldbus calibrator is oneof the biggest things that has happened in the calibration market formany years. The fact that Beamex is the company that introduces the calibrator, makes us very proud,” Mr. Raimo Ahola, Managing Director ofBeamex, summarizes the product development project.
