New IFC 100 flow converter for OPTIFLUX product family...
... A more than economical solution
The IFC 100 is the new digital to analog converter for KROHNE’s OPTIFLUX product family of electromagnetic flowmeters.
IFC 100 is targeted at common applications in the water, food and chemical industries. The signal industrial converter has a measuring inaccuracy of 0,3% and will have all required approvals.
The IFC 100 offers excellent performance with an optimum price/performance ratio. This signal converter has been developed for applications requiring an economical solution at a high-quality technological level. The extensive functionality of the previously introduced IFC 300 signal converter formed the ideal reference point.
Diagnosis
The signal converter’s standard functionality enables diagnosis of the instrument’s performance, as well as its installation and the process itself. To this end the IFC 100 includes the following diagnostic functions:
Firstly the electrode resistance is measured, based on which conductivity value, electrode scaling and electrode fouling can be determined.
Secondly electrode noise is measured. This indicates the allowed volume of gas bubbles and solid particles (up to 3% for both to secure an accurate measurement) and also indicates proper chemical resistance of the electrode material against the fluid flowing through the pipeline.
Finally the coil resistance is monitored in order to diagnose the quality of the magnetic field and the flowmeter temperature value.
Readability and user friendliness under all circumstances
The IFC 100 comes in both compact (converter mounted directly on the flow tube) and separate version (converter mounted separately from the flow tube). To ensure optimum readability and operation in both vertical and horizontal pipelines, KROHNE designed two different compact versions: the 0° version is ideal for vertical pipelines, whereas the 45° version makes sure that the display remains readable under all circumstances when the flowmeter is installed in horizontal pipelines.
The backlit display realises excellent readability from a distance. The 4 push buttons on the soft-keypad allow easy operation, start-up and parameterization.
Both compact housing versions can be rotated in 90° increments, quickly allowing customer-specific installation positions.
The IFC 100 – benefits:
Outstanding price/performance ratio
Quick and easy to install and operate
Diagnostics of product, application and instrument
Large, illuminated graphic readout with intuitive operation
Multiple user languages as standard
Maintenance-free
