Advanced workstation calibrator and communicator

We made the MC6 Workstation an ergonomic calibrator for bench installations. Being an easy to use, yet multifunctional device, it offers a lot of functionality for calibrations. The MC6 Workstation can be installed in the Beamex calibration bench or mobile trolley.

We aimed to make the MC6 easy and fun to use. We added a large back-lit 5.7 inch color touch screen that can be used with bare fingers, gloved fingers, or with a stylus. The connection diagrams guide you to make the correct connections. We even added multiple user-interface modes for different use cases. The intuitive user interface is available in multiple languages

Being a high-end process calibrator, we of course made it very accurate. The measurement uncertainty is very small and 1 year stability is also specified. Please refer to the brochure for detailed specifications.

No need to carry a separate communicator with you when you go to do calibration work – we added a multi-bus field communicator into the calibrator. It includes HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1, and Profibus PA communication all in one device, so you can select the ones that you need.

MC6 Workstation is a documenting calibrator, used with Beamex calibration software enables a fully paperless calibration process.

User interface modes

Calibrators should have advanced functionality and still be easy to use – that is a pretty challenging situation. As a solution for this, we decided to create different user-interface modes for different uses. For example, if you only want to measure something quickly and easily, use the simple Meter mode. If you want to document your calibration, use the Documenting calibrator mode. Read more about each mode below.

Meter

The meter mode is designed for simple and easy measurement of signals. Oftentimes, you may need to measure something quickly and easily. Often a simple multi-meter is used for this purpose, as it is easy to use. Some multifunctional calibrators are too slow and difficult to use, so it is easier to just choose the simpler meter. The meter mode in MC6 is optimized for this type of simple and easy metering.

Calibrator

The calibrator mode is designed for calibrating various process instruments. Use this mode to check and calibrate process instruments/transmitters.

Transmitters typically have an input and an output, meaning you either need to have two devices or a device capable of doing two things simultaneously. The calibrator mode in MC6 is optimized for this type of use.

Documenting Calibrator

The documenting calibrator mode is designed for process instrument calibration and documenting the calibration results. In today’s process plant, calibrations often have to be documented. Without a documenting calibrator, documentation must be done manually, which takes a lot of precious time and is prone to error. The documenting calibrator mode in MC6 is optimized for use as a documenting process calibrator integrated with calibration software.

Data Logger

The data logger is designed for logging various measurement results. Often in the industry, you will need to measure signals and then save the results for later analysis. This data may be related to troubleshooting, surveillance or calibration. The data logger mode in the MC6 is optimized for this type of use.

Communicator

The communicator mode is designed to communicate with Fieldbus instruments. Smart instrumentation is being used to an increasing degree meaning engineers need to use communicators or configuration software. Most of this instrumentation is HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, or Profibus PA. The communicator mode in MC6 is optimized for communicator use.
