Paperless recorders support Foundation Fieldbus
The Yokogawa DAQSTATION DX100/DX200 family of paperless recorders are the first instruments of their type to support the Foundation Fieldbus bidirectional digital communication standard.
Control and measurement stations have PID
The new Yokogawa CX1000 and CX2000 are a range of control and measurement stations based on the company's Daqstation family of paperless recorders wwith added PID control functions.
The new instrument has four independent analogue input function blocks for mass flow, volume flow, density and temperature calculation.
Also included are two independent integrator function blocks for mass, volume or net totalisation, while two additional analogue input function blocks for concentration measurement and net flow calculation are available as options.
The unit securely supports various alarm functions based on the FOUNDATION Fieldbus specification, including high/low alarms and notification of block errors.

A reliable self-diagnostic function detects fault conditions including measurement range failure, hardware failure or parameter range violation.
The RCCT3 Fieldbus model supports the Link Master function, which provides backup of network management and allows local control using field devices.
An optional PID (proportional/integral/derivative) function block allows field devices to control processes, while a software download option allows communication software to be updated under operational conditions.
The RotaMASS 3 Series mass flowmeter features a heavy-wall, seamless, dual-tube design that is decoupled from any process vibration or pipeline stress guaranteeing reliability and output stability.
Nine different detectors enable customisation of the meter for the best combination of mass flow range, pressure drop, and accuracy at the lowest possible cost.
The versatile instrument can be used in the most difficult applications from cryogenics to molten liquids as well as in sanitary applications and in environments with aggressive chemicals.
