FOXBORO 870ITEC-AYFNZ

The FOXBORO 870ITEC-AYFNZ is an intelligent electrochemical transmitter designed for electrodeless conductivity measurements. It belongs to the Foxboro (now Schneider Electric) I/A Series product line used in process control applications.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features and functionalities:

Function:

• Measures electrodeless conductivity of a liquid process stream. Electrodeless conductivity measurement involves using an electromagnetic field to induce current in the process liquid without physical contact with electrodes. This method is preferred in applications where traditional electrodes might be prone to wear and tear or contamination.

• Microprocessor-based design: Provides intelligent processing capabilities for signal conditioning, linearization, and temperature compensation. This ensures accurate and reliable conductivity measurements.

• Choice of outputs: Offers options for either analog (4-20 mA) or digital (Fieldbus) output signals. This allows for integration with various control systems and data acquisition devices.

• User-configurable: Allows for configuration of various parameters like measurement range, scaling, and filtering through its user interface or communication protocols.

Applications:

• Chemical Processing: Monitoring and control of conductivity in various chemical processes, such as concentration control, reaction monitoring, and purity measurement.

• Power Generation: Monitoring condensate purity and cycle efficiency in steam power plants.

• Water & Wastewater Treatment: Controlling water quality in water treatment plants and wastewater treatment facilities.

• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Monitoring purity and concentration of solutions in pharmaceutical production processes.

Benefits:

• Accurate and Reliable Conductivity Measurement: Enables precise monitoring and control of various process parameters based on conductivity.

• Electrodeless Design: Avoids issues associated with traditional electrodes like wear, tear, and contamination.

• Versatility: Offers both analog and digital outputs for compatibility with diverse control systems.

• User-Configurable: Allows for customization of measurement parameters for specific applications.

Considerations:

• System Compatibility: Ensure the 870ITEC-AYFNZ is compatible with the specific version of the Foxboro I/A Series system you are using.

• Process Application: Select the appropriate measurement range and configuration based on the specific process fluid and requirements.

• Calibration: Proper calibration of the transmitter at regular intervals is crucial for maintaining measurement accuracy.
