Errors are usually associated with some error idenfication, like a number. Look up the error code number.

I worked with an industrial gateway for wireless ’smart’ field transmitters. The status bits for the DI’s and DO’s and diagnostic status flags each had a standard 16 bit Modbus register for their single bit. Some vendors ’dual’ map input registers as read-only holding registers. All...

Matrikon is a major competitor of Kepware.

I'm guessing that the choice for DP range is when the target DP is supposed to be below 250"w.c. for whatever reason.

I can't help you, but I want to compliment you on the detail in your post, describing what the problem is/was and what you've done to troubleshoot it and the thorough reasoning involved. It was an enjoyable read. Your level of detail occurs, maybe, once every two years on a forum, so it stands...

Your familiarity of the situation did not translate well into the description you provided, as evidenced by no answers in over a week. I can only speak for myself, but I can not make sense of all the length dimensions you're talking about: 1km here, 2km there, 3 km here, 4 km there. I would...

You don't guess at a DP value. All that data you're entering is used to calculate either the DP at a max flow rate or the flow rate at a max DP. I call it 'sizing' a primary flow element. Each primary flow element has a Bernoulli calc associated with it with its K factor. Most vendors...

Two software and HART modem packages that I'm aware of. 1. Siemens PDM software A single device license sells in the US for about $100. Siemens sells the private labeled Mactek USB/HART modem. The PDM package gets updated periodically to include the entire, industry wide. HART DD set. There...

A stand-alone diaphragm seal is an accessory that protects any sensing element on the 'other' side of the diaphragm. the sanitary gauge below is a bourdon tube gauge on an integral sanitary diaphragm

From tangential association over the years, - PKS is the full blown DCS sold directly by Honeywell, typically as a complete, wired and programmed system including a servcie contract - LX is a "DCS Lite" version lacking some of the capacity of PKS sold by distribution as components, complemented...

Pressure gauges are predominantly bourdon tube sensor elements. There are bellows and diaphragm gauges but it's a fractional percentage of pressure gauge market. Sanitary/hygenic applications use integral diaphragm seals on bourdon tube gauges. Elastomer diaphragms are used for very low...

A non-capillary pressure gauge measures and indicates pressure with its sensing element directly sensing the process medium. A diaphragm/capillary (or even a close coupled diaphragm seal) pressure gauge indicates pressure and reflects the temperature of its 'filled system, its diaphragm and...

The original request was for a system to replace a radio/wireless "transceiver package". The Wi-Fi radios in the posts 2 & 3 are receivers only, not suitable for 2 way communication.

My crystal ball is really cloudy today and I can't get vibrations on what your close command function is: mechanical switch? Foundation Fieldbus? Profibus? Modbus? Also no clue as to which model Auma actuator.

1. You must determine whether the analyzers talk RS-232 or RS-485. Since RS-232 is point to point only, the hardware is likely half duplex RS-422 or RS-485. Getting the right hardware layer is critical. Read the manual for the analyzer and confirm which hardware layer it is using and wire...

1. The Phoenix Contact FL COMSERVER (serial-Ethernet server) has two models. Only one model supports Modbus, the 2313452. Do you have the 2313452 model that supports Modbus? 2. The DB9 connector is RS-232 only, so your RS-485 connection can not use the DB9 connector. Are your RS-485...

>"copy and paste" Maybe, but at your mention of "new Mark Vie software", what came to my mind, was when I was in chemical plant control room while the DCS vendor was doing a DCS software upgrade in the CD-ROM era (10 years ago) - 6 hours start to finish and the technician doing the upgrade used...
