Analytical transmitter helps to integrate multiple sensors
Endress+Hauser
The Liquiline CM44P multichannel analyzer transmitter (photo) accepts up to 16 different parameters from six analytical sensors simultaneously, and transmits them via 4–20- mA HART, Profibus, Modbus or EtherNet/IP. It is designed to simplify the monitoring of processes, such as chromatography, fermentation, phase separation and filtration, all of which rely on multi-parameter monitoring. The CM44P accepts inputs from up to two process photometers and four analytical sensors simultaneously. Sensor types include pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, turbidity, free chlorine and ion-selective sensors. Mathematical functions allow the device to calculate measured values on the basis of multiple input values, says the company. The CM44P also performs a variety of diagnostic assessments on all connected sensors and analyzers, reporting all resulting diagnostic messages according to NE107 categories, and an optional web server allows operators to remotely access the device. — Endress+Hauser, Greenwood, Ind.
