ABB ControlMaster Universal Process Controllers

ABB has used its experience in controllers and indicators to create a new generation of process control instruments that are more intuitive, easier to operate and significantly more powerful in use.

Whether you’re a plant or process manager, electrical engineer, process operator or maintenance engineer, the future of process control instrumentation starts here. ABB’s new ControlMaster range elevates process monitoring and control to an altogether higher level. ABB has used its experience in controllers and indicators to create a new generation of process control instruments that are more intuitive, easier to operate and significantly more powerful in use.

A line up of 4 new instruments with the functionality and capability you need to meet the challenges of an information hungry process control industry.

From ABB’s legacy in controllers and indicators, the new ControlMaster range of distinctive, accomplished and innovative instruments not only focuses on each model being easier and more powerful in use, but with such a concise number of function-rich
units, it’s now so much easier to choose the right ControlMaster for your process application.

CoriolisMaster is Here

autolinecontrols — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 01:08:38 +0000

The CoriolisMaster FCB330, FCB350 is the most costeffective and least complex ABB mass flowmeter featuring the new DSP transmitter. The device is available in the integral mount design with internal transmitter and in the remote mount design with external transmitter.

The integral mount design reduces the time and effort spent on installation and wiring. Flowrate information can be viewed directly at the meter site and the meter can be installed in systems saving even more space than is currently possible.

The FCB330, FCB350 operates according to the Coriolis principle. The design offers the following benefits:

— Space-saving, rugged design

— Variety of process connection options

— Two separate current outputs for measuring mass or volume flow, density, or temperature, as well as one pulse output

— Digital input and output

— Communication via HART protocol

— Ex approval. The user can select the “i” or “e” type of protection for the output circuits; the type chosen will depend on the circuits which are connected. The type of protection can be changed even after installation has been completed. The digital outputs can be configured as NAMUR outputs by the user

Transmitter with digital signal processor (DSP)

The transmitter for the CoriolisMaster FCB330, FCB350 incorporates a digital signal processor (DSP) that enables high-precision mass flow and density measurements to be taken. The Coriolis sensor signals are immediately converted into digital data without any intermediate analog steps.

Excellent long-term stability and reliability together with fast signal processing are achieved with the new DSP transmitter.

Self-diagnostic functions for the flowmeter sensor and the transmitter, in combination with absolute zero stability, are benefits you can count on to ensure accurate measurements are taken.

The CoriolisMaster FCB330, FCB350 transmitter is particularly well suited for use in the following cases:

— Whenever mass flowrate is to be metered with maximum accuracy

— Whenever the density of the medium being measured is being determined

— Whenever the components of a recipe being mixed

— When metering non-conductive media or highly viscous, solid-loaded liquids, for example

— In batch filling processes

Moore Industries Partners with MACTek® on the BULLET® WirelessHART® Adapter

autolinecontrols — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 01:48:44 +0000

Operators of plants and other industrial settings are rapidly embracing the use of wireless networks, particularly when it comes to smart HART-enabled devices. Now Moore Industries and MACTek^® have teamed up on an affordable way to take full advantage of WirelessHART networks with new and existing smart HART or analog devices with the BULLET^® WirelessHART Adapter.

Engineered by MACTek and available through Moore Industries, the BULLET has several industry-first features that make is an ideal solution for sending smart HART and analog process signals overWirelessHART networks.

Among the highlights of the BULLET:

It is the only product that can send process signals from just one or up to eight multidropped smart HART transmitters on a WirelessHART link. In addition, it can work with Moore Industries’ TCS Temperature Concentrator System™ to send up to 16 temperature measurements across aWirelessHART network.
The patented StepVolt technology balances the need for power and wireless communications bandwidth while on loop-power by drawing just the power it needs without sacrificing unnecessary bandwidth. The BULLET also can be powered by an external DC power supply.
Supporting both the WirelessHART MESH and STAR configurations, the BULLET can accept HART and analog signals such as 4-20mA, making it an ideal choice for adapting legacy analog instruments to WirelessHART networks.
It is available in General Purpose, Intrinsically-Safe and Explosion-Proof models, providing customers with a rugged solution.

More information on the BULLET is available by downloading the data sheet. You can also read about our entire line of Smart HART Loop Monitors and Interfaces on our website.
