7 COMMISSIONING OF SC (Specific Conductivity)
On the first startup, the parameters are all default values configured at the factory. For
factory defaults and setting limits see Appendix 4. If a Yokogawa sensor with ID-chip
is connected to the SA11 some of these values are automatically updated. These are
sensor characteristics and factory calibration data. Other values can be configured by the
Yokogawa HOST system, for details see the belonging User’s Manual.
7.1 Measurement setup
This section describes the features of the SA11 Smart Adapter and which parameters
can be set up by a HOST system. In principle the SA11 calculates all values, some with a
particular unit, and it is up to the HOST system which values to configure, display or use for
process control. The SA11 main measurement parameter outputs are:
• Conductivity (SC)
• Resistivity (R)
• Concentration (Conc.) based on table (linear) or matrix
• Temperature
7.1.1 Measurement select
In general the SA11 calculates all parameter output data. The measurement warnings (see
section 7.3) demand a pre-setting of the parameter. Per parameter however one setting (to
be done by HOST system) is possible for:
• Output1:
SC, SC-TC1, SC-NaCl, SC-matrix1,
R, R-TC1, R-NaCl, R-matrix1
• Output2:
SC, SC-TC2, SC-NaCl, SC-matrix2,
R, R-TC2, R-NaCl, R-matrix2
• Conc1:
Conc.-linear, Conc.-matrix1, Conc-output1
• Conc2:
Conc.-linear, Conc.-matrix2, Conc-output2
• USP23
7.1.2 Temperature settings
The automatic temperature measurement with a SA11 Smart Adapter is based upon
a Pt1000 temperature element. It is possible to set the temperature to a fixed manual
temperature or to an external temperature which is regularly set by the HOST system.
7.1.3 Temperature compensation
The conductivity/resistivity value generated by a specific conductivity sensor depends on the
process temperature, and needs to be compensated for this temperature.
7.1.4 Process compensation
The conductivity/resistivity value can be compensated for specific temperature dependent
process conditions.
•
Reference temperature
For the temperature dependent process compensation a reference temperature has to be
set to which the conductivity/resistivity value must be calculated. Normally 25°C is used, so
this temperature is chosen as the default value.
•
TC1/2
It is possible to adjust the temperature coefficient (TC) factor directly. This method uses the
linear compensation function. If the temperature coefficient factor of the sample liquid is
known from laboratory experiments or has been previously determined, it can be set. This
TC is a conductivity/resistivity variation in percentage to 1 °C (%/°C). In combination with the
