Yokogawa believes that it has revolutionised the world of conductivity analysis with its IC200 inductive 2-wire conductivity analyser. Using more than 40 years of application experience and valuable user input, Yokogawa says that it has designed an instrument that has been accurate, flexible and reliable under any conditions.
The ISC202 analyser has been improved to meet the increasing application demands of users and enhanced with HART and Foundation Fieldbus communication capabilities. The analyser offers improved accuracy at ±0,5% over the broadest range (1 to 2000 000 mS/cm) with a single ISC40 inductive conductivity probe that provides temperature compensation, installation flexibility and low maintenance in the harshest environments.
Sealed in durable PEEK (Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone) or PFA (Dyneon tetrafluoroethelyne copolymer), the large-bore ISC40 probe is a suitable complement to the Yokogawa EXA analyser design with microprocessor diagnostics, an easy user interface and durable electronics.
Yokogawa's diagnostic system has proven its reliability and with Foundation Fieldbus this feature can be exploited to a maximum. This smart analyser keeps constant track of all running software and hardware systems and supplies the operator with data that is unambiguous. Its Foundation Fieldbus concept gives low installation costs, a safe operation and easy maintenance in the field.
Yokogawa South Africa
Yokogawa South Africa was originally founded in 1978 as Delta Controls, the exclusive distributor of Yokogawa Process Control and Instrumentation (PCI) products in South Africa. In 1997 Delta Controls became a wholly owned subsidiary of Yokogawa Europe B.V.
Via its head office in Johannesburg and branches in Vanderbijlpark, Durban and Cape Town, the company sells, engineers and supports the full range of Yokogawa PCI products: recorders, controllers, transmitters, flowmeters, analytical (liquid and gas) as well as distributed control systems. The company is the exclusive distributor for American meter and Dresser gas equipment, Barksdale pressure and level devices and Kinetrol actuators.
Introduction to Part 2 loop signatures and process transfer functions
Fieldbus & Industrial Networking
The previous series of loop signature articles dealt with the basics of control loop optimisation, and concentrated on troubleshooting and ‘SWAG’ tuning of simple processes. In this new series, consideration will be given to dealing practically with more difficult issues like interactive processes, and with processes with much more complex dynamics.
