Simplified Selection

Selection Tool
In just a few clicks, find the best unit for your process based on the required functionality and specifications.

Expert Guide

Wizard Function
Basic parameters that are commonly set, such as flow rate span, totalizer/pulse output, and display, are grouped together under the Easy Setup Wizard. This reduces the time taken for device startup.

Multiple Languages
Select from nine different language options: English/French/German/Italian/Spanish/Portuguese/Russian/Chinese/Japanese.

Cable Connection Check Function
For multiple remote type units that are wired and installed at the same time, often a wiring error occurs. Yokogawa has developed a method for detecting a wiring error based on changes in the signal waveforms when excitation is on and off 

Process Guard

Data Logging Function
Log up to four different process variables (electrode A, electrode B, adhesion level, flow noise, velocity, volume flow, mass flow, calorie) and save onto the micro SD card. A quick troubleshooting analysis can be conducted by looking at the trend curve and alarms, and data can be downloaded and saved to analyze offline.

NAMUR Function
A total of 28 system and process alarms can be individually classified according to NAMUR NE 107. The user can adapt the action of each alarm individually to meet process requirements and prevent unnecessary alarms from distracting plant operators.

Maintenance Manager

Built-in Verification
Three levels of verification functions are available, including a built-in verification function for ADMAG TI converters that checks the magnetic circuit, excitation circuit, computing circuit, alarm history, and cable connection.

Additional functions include standard and enhanced verification that can generate the report based on the displayed results of the equipment and perform additional checks using peripheral devices. The built-in verification and standard verification are within ±5% of factory accuracy, and the enhanced verification is within ±2% of factory accuracy, guaranteeing the health of the equipment.

Application Diagnostic
The application diagnostic can be divided into two categories:

  • An alarm state that detects abnormal conditions that persist in a process
  • A warning state that calls for attention when signs of abnormality appear in the process

Application diagnostic can detect various process conditions of your site by actively utilizing flow noise. These include: gas bubble contain detection, electrodes corrosion detection, low conductivity detection, and slurry noise detection.

Data Mobility

Data Transfer Using microSD Card
A unique feature of the microSD allows users to back up parameter setting, trend data storage, record various data measurements for offline analysis, duplicate multiple units, and save all device data and configuration data to a PC.

Advanced Flexibility

Backward Compatibility
The new AXG4A converter can be combined with old flow sensors. The existing special signal cable and excitation cable can be utilized in addition to some of the transmitter specifications.

Worldwide Approvals
The ADMAG TI series offers explosion-proof, SIL, EMC, NAMUR and multiple communication protocols to meet the needs of all markets and applications.

Various I/O Combinations
The ADMAG TI series offers multiple combinations of I/O (includes current input) and communication types. This gives the flexibility to utilize the process information for better control in your application.

EtherNet/IP and NSF61 models are available.

Some examples are 2 analog points (2 output or 1 output and 1 input) or 2 digital points (2 pulse output, or 1 pulse input and 1 input/output).

Overview:

To meet state requirements for calibration checks, use Meter Verification (part of the Total Insight concept of the ADMAG TI - AXG) to verify the calibration and functionality of each meter. The reliable accuracy of the AXG magmeter results from Yokogawa’s proprietary, dual-frequency excitation method. It combines traditional high/low-frequency excitation methods to ensure greater stability and quicker response even if noise or other problems are present in the line. With EtherNet/IP, an operator can initiate a verification from the HMI to ensure the gallery is running optimally.

Overview:

ADMAG TI autozero or zero adjustment is carried out to ensure that the output for zero flow is 0% (i.e., 4 mA). Although adjustment to zero is performed at the manufacturing plant prior to shipment, this procedure must be carried out once again following the installation of piping in order to match the magnetic flowmeter to its operating conditions.

They help remove stray energy or noise as it builds up in the flow process by grounding it. They can even help protect the magmeter liner from damage in harsher processes.
