Krohne SMARTMAC 200 W operating device for SMARTPAT sensors

SMARTMAC 200 W is a 2-wire, loop-powered operating device with HART 7 communication to Krohne’s SMARTPAT series process analysis sensors. It is suitable for all industries that use SMARTPAT sensors or accessories, including the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and food and beverage sectors, as well as power plants, semiconductor and water/wastewater applications.

SMARTPAT is a series of process analytical sensors with integrated transmitter technology: each sensor is directly connected to the process control system via 4–20 mA/HART without the use of an external transmitter. Nevertheless, there is still a demand for a convenient operating device on-site. Therefore, SMARTMAC 200 W was developed as an optional 2-wire, loop-powered operating device.

The product enables SMARTPAT sensors to be read, calibrated and configured online at the measuring point. It features HART 7 communication and shows clear and configurable diagnostics according to NAMUR NE 107. With the replacement function, the connected sensor can easily be exchanged as all sensor settings can be copied for the new sensor, including 4–20 mA parameters and TAG identification.

The device features English, German, French, Spanish and Italian as operating languages. The die-cast aluminium housing (identical to IFC 100 W and MAC 100 W signal converters) offers ingress protection rating IP66/IP67.
