Intelligent two-wire pressure transmitter
Don Horne
The Foxboro S Series Model IDP10S from Schneider Electric is an intelligent two-wire pressure transmitter that uses FoxCal multiple calibration technology. Unlike a typical transmitter, which requires the user to manually select and use a single calibration range suited to the specific application, the IDP10S transmitter can automatically select and use any of 11 preset calibration ranges housed in its onboard firmware. These calibration ranges cover the full pressure range of the transmitter. Upon installation, the transmitter automatically selects the appropriate calibration range based on application inputs, and if application inputs change, automatically transitions to another, more appropriate calibration range while maintaining a reference accuracy of 0.05%.
