September 15, 2015 —The Foxboro S Series Model IDP10S, an intelligent two-wire pressure transmitter from Schneider Electric, has been announced as a winner of a 2015 Flow ControlInnovation Award. The Foxboro IDP10S transmitter was selected from a field of 27 nominees and voted by the magazine’s readers as one of the year’s most exciting and significant new solutions for pressure and flow measurement.

The key to the award-winning performance and flexibility of the Foxboro IDP10S transmitter is in its innovative and patented FoxCal multiple calibration technology. Unlike a typical transmitter, which requires the user to manually select and use a single calibration range suited to the specific application, the IDP10S transmitter can automatically select and use any of 11 preset calibration ranges housed in its onboard firmware. These calibration ranges cover the full pressure range of the transmitter. Upon installation, the S Series transmitter automatically selects the appropriate calibration range based on application inputs; and, if application inputs change, automatically transitions to another, more appropriate calibration range – all while maintaining a reference accuracy of 0.05%

“Receiving the Flow Control Innovation Award is fantastic news for Foxboro and the S Series engineering team,” said Patrick Cupo, Foxboro’s S Series Product Manager. “It’s exciting that readers and end users have recognized the IDP10S as the first pressure transmitter to incorporate not only multiple calibration curves, but the ability to automatically select and transfer between them in real time. These capabilities – and the value proposition they represent – are changing the marketplace.”

Thanks to this patented multiple calibration technology, Foxboro S Series transmitters (IDP10S, IGP10S, IAP10S) can deliver a wide-range capability with high reference accuracy for all industries requiring precise differential, gauge, and absolute pressure measurement. These capabilities also create the potential for inventory, storeroom, and training savings as well.  Because S Series transmitters can operate over such a wide turndown range with such high reference accuracy, adopting one model of S Series transmitter eliminates the need to inventory, learn, and maintain multiple transmitter models that handle more limited ranges (e.g., 150 psi, 800 psi, 4000 psi).

Foxboro S Series pressure transmitters feature rapid response times (100 msec.), along with an innovative new Time-In-Service clock feature and a secondary clock that can be used to monitor operation and schedule maintenance activities. All S Series transmitters can be equipped with a wide range of industry-standard mountings and provide a 4-20 mA signal with a superimposed HART digital signal for remote configuration and monitoring.
