Flowmeter Retrofitting
IFC 300 converter retrofits your obsolete magmeter with new electronics.
Gradually, more and more electromagnetic flowmeters are being discontinued and spare parts and support are no longer available. For you, this could mean: the malfunction of the electronics causes unwanted downtime, which results in significant consequences for your process and plant safety.
With the IFC 300, you get the opportunity to retrofit your existing electromagnetic flowmeter with new electronics quickly, easily and cost-effectively.
Your advantages through the retrofit
Quick and easy upgrade, without dismounting your old meter
Saving of investment and installation costs for a completely new meter
Additional communication possibilities, temperature and conductivity measurement
Your possible reasons for the retrofitting of electronics
Full or partial defect of converter electronics
Need of communication protocols
Need of additional outputs
Your benefit through a comprehensive diagnostic package
More process reliability through the reliable diagnosis of:
Detection of gas bubbles or solids
Changing or too-low conductivity (e.g. during change of media or empty tube), depending on the old sensor
Deposits or coating on the electrodes
Electrode corrosion
Too-high media or ambient temperature (depending on the old sensor)
Your new communication options
The IFC 300 makes your flowmeter fit for the future with latest communication protocols!
HART® (Standard)
PROFIBUS
PROFINET
Foundation Fieldbus
Modbus
The procedure for replacing the electronics:
KROHNE will check the compatibility of the used sensor and the installation situation in advance.
You have to install the converter and assure that a reference flow is available during start-up for our replacement converter to be adjusted.
Our KROHNE service engineers will support you in commissioning and start up of the new converter.
