FLOW MEASUREMENT + INSTRUMENTATION

Flexibility is the main principle

Whilst not emulating a production process of any specific industry, the UTR presents the application frame conditions in a way to offer a variety of training possibilities. An agitator (level disturbance) , heater element (temperature changes) and injected compressed air (entrained gas) allow the process conditions to be interrupted in a controlled manner giving the trainee a practical perspective of the sensitivities of each instrumentation type operating under varying field conditions All operational parameters including instrument selection are controlled via the integrated Programmable Logic Control- ler and touch screen display. Endress+Hauser is offering two new intensive five day training courses targeted at technical plant personnel from technician and engineer grades right through to maintenance, engineering and project management.The two courses cover all of the major process measurements classes including level, flow, pressure, temperature and analytical starting from the principles of operation through to application topics such as meter selection, installation and application issues, and basic trouble shooting.The trainee is introduced at a practical level to the standard Endress+Hauser instrument selection and sizing software tool “Applicator” plus hands on instrument configuration and troubleshooting using the device keyboard and display as well as the service software tool ‘FieldCare’. As well as ‘real life’ instrument and control operation, the UTR also allows different field communication strategies to be presented via its use ofWireless HART, Profibus as well as standard 4-20 mA connections. Supplementary topics such as reading and understanding P&ID diagrams and Plant Asset Management are also included. The courses are interactive with all theory accompanied by extensive practical assign- ments on the UTR itself followed by written assessments thus maximising the learning experience. On request, a training brochure is available outlining the UTR and training course modules in more detail including pricing and schedules. An open day is being planned for later in the year where you will be able to have an in-depth look at the UTR and the training programme and discuss what it has to offer your company.

Are you looking for a modular level meter? OPTIWAVE 5200 is the answer. Over 90 years of research and development evolution have made innovation a tradition at KROHNE. The brand new OPTIWAVE 5200 is a perfect fit for a broad range of applications and mounting positions. This 2-wire 10 GHz FMCW radar level meter for liquids features a modular housing and antenna design which makes it a marvel of adaptability. The quick-coupling system permits removal of the converter under process conditions and full 360° rotation. For additional ease of use, the display keypad is accessible without having to open the converter. Besides, KROHNE is the only manufacturer to offer full display and configuration capability over a distance of up to 100’m / 328’ft, using the optional remote converter. Designed for use in safety-related systems acc. to IEC 61508 (SIL2), the OPTIWAVE 5200 offers antennas for standard and corrosive products making it ideal for the chemical, oil & gas and wastewater industry. The unique flexibility of the OPTIWAVE 5200 allows it to seamlessly blend into a wide range of processes – it fits in where other meters would only be in the way.
