Mettler Toledo has launched a transmitter which provides a versatile solution for process control.
The M400 features Intelligent Sensor Management (ISM) technology and covers pH /ORP, oxygen and conductivity measurements.
The transmitter accepts any conventional (analog) or ISM sensor.
According to the company, the device is installed with pH and oxygen sensors which reduce the maintenance cost and offer diagnostic tools that improve lifetime, performance and reliability of process analytical measurement technology.
The transmitter also comes equipped with advanced ISM functionalities such as lifetime indicator, adaptive calibration timer and time to maintenance indicator.
The diagnostic tool enables true predictive maintenance, where the time to next calibration or sensor replacement is estimated in real time, based on dynamic process parameters and the current sensor condition. According to these real-time statements, the maintenance can be planned accordingly.
The transmitter in combination with the iSense asset suite enables users of the ISM technology to apply new plant-wide maintenance concepts with pre-calibrated sensors.
While at the measurement point, sensors previously calibrated in the lab or the workbench are exchanged quickly.
iSense pre-calibrates sensors under stable conditions and provide users with diagnostics information.
