This function block actually draw and has been contributed one of my best friends when he worked with me a few years ago in our power plant.
He is very hardworking and one of the best staff in instrumentation department. Thanks my friend.Beamex MC5 Calibrator is one of the important of our instrumentation test equipments in power plant or specifically instrumentation's workshop. The MC5 Fieldbus Calibrator is a combination of a multifunction calibrator and fieldbus configurator. Below is the description and main features of the MC5 Fieldbus Calibrator from Beamex website.
"Introducing the world’s first fieldbus calibrator
The MC5 Fieldbus Calibrator is a combination of a multifunction calibrator and a fieldbus configurator. The MC5 is a compact, easy-to-use and field compatible calibration solution that offers a lot of functionality. The fieldbus functionality of MC5 includes reading the digital output of the fieldbus transmitter, changing the configurations of transmitters and transmitter trimming. Calibrating fieldbus transmitters with the MC5 requires only one person and the calibration results are automatically documented.
Main features:
• Calibrate Foundation Fieldbus H1 or Profibus PA transmitters
The photo that you see above is a common color that available in the market. But have you seen the pink color of Beamex MC5 Calibrator before?"
• The MC5 is a calibrator and a fieldbus configurator in one unit
• The MC5 makes traceable calibrations
• Calibration results are automatically documented in the MC5
• A compact, easy-to-use and field compatible calibration solution
• The MC5 Fieldbus Calibrator can be used for various other calibrations as well
I am sure you never see this color before. But I am not sure whether this fancy color is in the market or not. Try to contact your supplier to know more about this. Mmmm...

I am just surfing the internet to find a good thing on our instrumentation device. Then I found this one of the ABB products. Portable pH Calibrator is using to simulate variable pH and also can be as pH analyzer and calibrator. It is extremely useful for grab sample pH measurement as well as bench setup and field calibration or troubleshooting of process pH analyzers.
When it comes to deal with process pH instrumentation, I personally thinking that this kind of calibrator is very essential and very good to have one. Very easy to use and the result can be much better. I am not sure how much it will cost. But you will save a lot of money when you can cut your cost to purchase buffer solution to do monthly calibration.

Have you ever heard this Chernobyl disaster before? Chernobyl disaster or simply popular with name 'Chernobyl' as a result of a flawed reactor design and was operated inadequately trained personal. Happened in Ukraine near the town of Pripyat, 26th April 1986.
Chernobyl was the worst accident nuclear power plant in history with 28 dies within 4 months from radiation or thermal burns; 19 have subsequently died, and there have been around nine deaths from thyroid cancer apparently due to the accident: total 56 fatalities as of 2004.
Reactor DiagramThe Effects of The Chernobyl Disaster;
- International spread of radioactivity
- Radioactive release
- Health of plant workers
- Residual radioactivity in the environment

- The need for future repairs
- The lava (or fuel containing materials FCM)
- Degradation of the lava
- Possible consequences of further collapse of the Sarcophagus
- Grass and forest fires
For more details about this nuclear power plant you can check at the Wikepedia and this World Nuclear Association.
Are you interested in owning a digital camera? Yesterday, I window-shopped several supermarket in a city. My eyes focused on this small and cute digital camera in one of the showcases.
Specifications:
- 12.1 Mega Pixels
- 3.7 Optical Zoom
- 2.5" LCD Display Pure Color
- ISO 1600
- Optical Image Stabilizer
- Multi-face Detection
- Crystal Clear Image
- Titanium Casing
- High Speed USB 2.0 Rate Connectivity
- Optional Accessories: Water Proof Casing WP-DC19
- Retail Price: RM1699/=
At the moment, I just survey around and hopefully will get a good one soon. Even though we also in charge of the purchasing like computer, camera, printers and other IT goods or related instrumentation field device, but this is for my personal used and not for my work at office or power plant.

Again, this morning operation raised defect to us on Electro Chlorination Plant (ECP) flow switch problem. After a few days switch has been installed with minor modification on the probe; new spring changed to stainless steel and the flapper is coated with anti-oxide hoping that the lifetime can be longer than before, but the result frustrated. There is already a few times I mentioned in this blog that the unreliable flow switch urgently needs to be replaced as the ECP Cell downtime very frequently happened.
Recently, Vega and Endress Hauser tested their probes on the ultrasonic type. It took one week to complete in January. The tuning of the parameters has been done for a few times to get a good result but at the last stage it failed. The reason it failed is the flow rate is not stable due to two medium mixture, water and air bubbles. In this case, air bubbles will absorb the signal from the ultrasonic then cause the reading fluctuating. At the end, they would like to trial another type of measurement either magnetic or different pressure DP type. But I am still waiting for them to their recommendation which has been promised in February.
At this moment, I have to contact various manufacturers to recommend the suitable flow switch on the chlorine application which urgently required including ABB, UE and Kelco. Since the stocks balances at the store for the old type (Flotech) are very critical low therefore we need to reorder for temporary used.
