Separates financial and maintenance data

Krohne, a developer of measuring instruments for the process industries, says its Summit 8800 digital flow computer offers dramatic performance, handling, and interoperability improvements over standard flow computers. It supports the latest developments in metering, data handling, and system maintenance at a competitive price, the company says.

The Summit 8800 is suitable for a variety of process applications, including metering oil, gas, wet gas, steam and water; bulk chemicals batching; heat exchanger metering and logging; and metering production processes in the pharmaceutical industry.

The unit contains a dedicated microprocessor with a fast ¼-second processing cycle for each input/output (I/O) board rather than using one shared processor. A removable multi-gigabyte memory card stores data with enough capacity for several years of flow information.

Scroll-and-click navigation and touch-screen control makes operation simple and straightforward. The large display, with multicolour traffic-light guidance also simplifies operations and system maintenance. Network security is enhanced with multiple, redundant Ethernet ports, while wide-area communication is possible using a range of common protocols.

The Summit 8800 allows the user to plug in up to six I/O or communication boards as needed for multiple flow streams, analysers or additional network communications options.

The unit has several security features, including configurable multi-level access and authorisation and an optional personalised electronic proximity key.

In addition, the Summit 8800 separates fiscal and maintenance data, thereby permitting remote maintenance without compromising security and data integrity.
