OPTICHECK Technology Built-In – Diagnostics, Verification, And Functional Safety With OPTIMASS Coriolis Mass Flow Meters

State-of-the-art measuring devices such as OPTIMASS Coriolis mass flowmeters combine robust measuring principles and powerful electronics to produce a wide range of readings and device-specific data. OPTICHECK technology built-in leverages the features of the devices to translate their available comprehensive measuring system data into sophisticated diagnostics information for plant personnel.

It goes beyond extensive device diagnostics, self-tests and on-site verification. With measurement principle-specific application diagnostics, this technology also allows in-depth insights into the process and thus opens far-reaching possibilities for device monitoring, condition-based maintenance and optimisation of measurement technology and systems.

The functional status of a measuring device can have a direct influence on the reliability of a measurement and therefore on process stability and system availability. The comprehensive device diagnostics from OPTICHECK technology built-in enable a measuring device to reliably detect typical errors or potential damage within the meter’s sensor or signal converter. OPTICHECK technology built-in produces a continuously repeating self-diagnosis of the measuring device resulting in reliable self-monitoring of the meter's health for every moment it is in operation.
