Combined field calibrator and communicator

27 March 2012

The processing industry is going through significant changes and instrumentation and calibration technicians are now required to carry around more measurement equipment in the field to accurately record more measurements thanks to the increasing accuracy of transmitter technology.

There is an increased demand for measurement equipment to automate procedures and guide the user on the field. Furthermore, plants are looking to decrease measurement equipment lifecycle costs by replacing several individual measurement devices with multifunctional devices.

The easy to use Beamex MC6 advanced field calibrator and communicator is said to help meet these needs. It offers calibration capabilities for pressure, temperature and various electrical signals. It also contains a full fieldbus communicator for HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and Profibus PA instruments.

The single unit offers five different operational modes, allowing technicians to carry less equipment in the field. The operation modes include meter, calibrator, documenting calibrator, datalogger and fieldbus communicator. In addition, it can communicate with Beamex CMX calibration software, enabling fully automated and paperless calibration and documentation.
