Automation is a key requirement for operating process plants at their technical and economic optimum. Innovative process analysis technology to measure the composition of materials is essential in this respect.

SpectroBAY® is ideally suited for integration into a process control concept, e.g. for controlling distillation columns or optimizing the operation of continuous and batch production units.

 

Interface to control system via ARTS:

The complete spectrometer software, including chemometric evaluations, is available as standard. The system is also equipped with a connection that is compatible with all conventional control systems. The Analyzer Result Transfer Software ARTS acts as the link between the measuring and control systems. This software transfers all important information in a suitable format.

Features of ARTS:

  • Link between the spectrometer and process control system by means of parameterization via a menu-controlled interface – no programming required;
  • Transmission of analytical values and status signals via field bus systems;
  • Transmission of process information to spectrometer.

Technical specification of SpectroBAY®:

  • Space requirement: 600 x 600 x 1,950 mm (B x D x H)
  • Weight: approx. 250 kg
  • Connection to 6 fiber optic pairs possible; option for more
  • Temperature range: 5-30 °C
  • Indoor installation in low-vibration area (not immediately adjacent to motors or air-conditioning units)
