Features
For users who expect more from their flow comput
-
ers than simply chart replacement functionality,
Bristol® ControlWave® XFC, from Emerson Process
Management, comes through with synergy of automa-
tion and measurement. Now, you can install a single
instrument without the hassles you face when you try
to use separate equipment for automation and mea-
surement operations at remote sites.
The ControlWave XFC package features the following:
ControlWave family platform that is pre-pro-
grammed to meet API 2. requirements for a
two-run metering and regulating station
High performance, smart multivariable transducer
assembly is a separate component that can be re-
moved and replaced independently of the electron-
ics platform
Optional, pre-installed RTD assembly
Extremely low power consumption keeps power
systems costs under control
Open communication with 3 serial ports stan-
dard—includes modem/radio control and RS 485
BSAP/Modbus for external, single- or multi-variable
transmitters such as the Bristol Babcock 3808 MVT
I/O complements with up to 3 AI, 1 AO, 2 DI, 2
High-speed Counter Inputs and 4 DO interface with
external, process equipment
Unlike a flow computer, ControlWave XFC employs
a hardware/firmware platform that readily handles
automation tasks:
Ample processing horsepower and memory
subsystem means that users need not worry about
running out of resources for demanding applica-
tions.
