March 2, 2024 - Vista, California - Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post that covers the way calibrators offer the precision needed to evaluate in-process testers and how they can securely deliver test results to a control center to effectively manage an industrial process. For effective process test equipment calibration, a calibrator must be a source of precisely controlled parameters as well as a highly accurate measuring tool for evaluating the same parameters. A calibrator must often inject a parameter, such as voltage, current, pressure, or temperature, into the process equipment under test to determine the condition of the equipment.

Traditionally, data transfers to and from a calibrator were handled by dedicated communications equipment. But growing demand for mobility and portability in calibrators capable of in-field use has resulted in calibrators and communicators often within the same package. When equipped with suitable communications interfaces, such as Ethernet or Bluetooth, calibrator/communication devices can quickly and seamlessly make their connections to the process equipment to be tested as well as to a control center.

Calibrating the Way to Process Control 

 

Automated industrial manufacturing processes have many built-in measurement devices to ensure the processes run properly. The units keep track of parameters important to the processes, such as temperature, pressure, voltage, current, resistance, and frequency. They communicate conditions to a central controller where data can be analyzed to optimize an industrial process. But time takes its toll on these testers, and they must be regularly calibrated to effectively support an industrial process. Fortunately, calibrators offer the precision needed to evaluate in-process testers. Aided by communicators, they can securely deliver test results to a control center to effectively manage an industrial process. In some cases, calibrators and communicators come in the same package, often small enough to be held in one hand for on-site measurements.

For effective process test equipment calibration, a calibrator must be a source of precisely controlled parameters as well as a highly accurate measuring tool for evaluating the same parameters. A calibrator must often inject a parameter, such as voltage, current, pressure, or temperature, into the process equipment under test to determine the condition of the equipment. As a calibration source, it must provide each parameter with precision and stability to support fine tuning of the industrial process equipment. As an analyzer, it must be capable of the accuracy and repeatability needed to maintain a process within well-defined limits. A calibrator often requires bidirectional communications capability to transfer test data acquired from the process equipment to a control station.

Traditionally, data transfers to and from a calibrator were handled by dedicated communications equipment. But growing demand for mobility and portability in calibrators capable of in-field use has resulted in calibrators and communicators often within the same package. When equipped with suitable communications interfaces, such as Ethernet or Bluetooth, calibrator/communication devices can quickly and seamlessly make their connections to the process equipment to be tested as well as to a control center. Multifunction calibrators are often equipped with multiple communications interfaces, including Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi interfaces, to simplify transfer of measured process data from a remote calibrator to a control station for managing the test results.
