ABB 10D1477, Instruction Manual

Page: 8 / 52

With the exception of the CMF/BUFFER board, the associated electronics package is called the
signal converter and is remotely mounted. Figure 1-1 shows the electronics housing used in conjunc-
tion with a remote signal converter.
The remote mounted signal converter is beneficial for:
1) high vibration areas
2) high process temperatures
The Signal Converter contains a magnet driver unit that is used to power the meter’s magnet coils.
The steady state magnetic field principle, referred to as the MAG-X design concept, provides
optimum zero point stability at an optimized frequency which is a submultiple of the power line
frequency.
For additional information on the electrical operation of the meter refer to Section 4.0 Functional
Description in this instruction manual and the instruction manual supplied with the signal converter.
