Type MC 50.2 Multifunction process calibratorsfor electrical signals

The SIKA multifunctional process calibrators have been developed to make your calibration and maintenance tasks easier and more flexible. Thanks to their versatile functions, different test sequences can be carried out in one go without changing instruments, which saves time. SIKA multifunctional process calibrators combine the tasks of a wide variety of individual instruments in one.

They can be found in various main application areas, including service, maintenance and repair, quality assurance, test laboratories and research, measurement and control technology, the process industry, energy supply, mechanical and apparatus engineering and many other areas.

If a periodic call-up is required, an automatic program run is generated. The signal type, duration and value are defined here. A possibly desired start delay, the number of repetitions and a continuous, linear ascending or descending course can also be specified individually.

Signal values that are required repeatedly are stored in the simulator in a fixed or flexible manner and can be called up quickly at the touch of a button. If a discontinuous curve with changing signal values is to be generated, the synthesizer function can help. Here, previously programmed, changing signal levels are output at the output of the simulator. This makes it easy to define a wide variety of staircases, ramps or synthesizer values and call them up one after the other, which helps to fulfil the test task.

In order to achieve exact measurement results, the characteristic measurement properties and deviations of a probe should be taken into account if they are available in the form of a calibration certificate. By means of offset programming, the simulator input can be shifted linearly and thus approximated to the existing measurement curve of the probe. This one-point adjustment is the simplest and best known way to improve the measurement results. If higher demands are made on the measuring accuracy, a multi-point adjustment is the best option. Here, the input is ideally adapted to the real sensor curve by means of four linearization points, and thus linearity errors are compensated. Up to five different adjustment sets can be stored directly and called up easily.

In measurement technology, ideal, linear characteristic curves are often the basis. In the real world, however, sensors, transmitters, converters, etc. very often produce non-linear curves due to various offset, slope, linearity or hysteresis errors. In order to measure or generate such non-linear characteristics without errors, it is possible to customize the measurement input or signal output with up to ten interpolation points. The unit associated with the value can be freely edited.
