# Product Details: Foxboro IGP10S-TB2A1FM-M0L1F2 Enhanced Smart Pressure Transmitter ## 

1. Product Overview The Foxboro IGP10S-TB2A1FM-M0L1F2 is an enhanced industrial smart pressure transmitter under Schneider Electric’s Foxboro IGP10S series—engineered for high-precision pressure measurement, robust signal conditioning, and reliable data transmission in demanding process control environments. As an upgraded variant of the classic IGP10 series, it integrates advanced piezoresistive sensing technology, multi-protocol digital communication, and reinforced environmental protection, making it suitable for harsh工况 such as high temperature, corrosive media, and heavy vibration.

2. Key Technical Specifications

3. Core Features

• Ultra-High Precision Sensing: Equipped with a next-gen piezoresistive sensor with laser-calibrated accuracy (±0.05% span), the transmitter delivers stable pressure data even in dynamic process conditions (e.g., fluctuating flow in pipelines). Long-term stability (drift <0.05% span/year) reduces frequent calibration needs, lowering maintenance costs.
• Reinforced Environmental Protection: IP68-rated housing (superior to standard IP67) enables operation in wet or submerged environments (e.g., offshore oil platforms, wastewater treatment tanks). The extended operating temperature range (-40°C to +90°C) and 10 g vibration resistance ensure reliability in extreme climates (deserts, arctic pipelines) and heavy-industry settings (steel mills).
• Multi-Protocol Digital Connectivity: Supports both HART 7.0 and Foundation Fieldbus H1—catering to diverse control system architectures. Foundation Fieldbus enables multi-variable data transmission (pressure, temperature, diagnostic status) and peer-to-peer communication between devices, while HART ensures backward compatibility with legacy DCS/PLC systems.
• Corrosion-Resistant Material Options: Standard 316L stainless steel wetted parts resist most hydrocarbons, salts, and mild chemicals. Optional Hastelloy C-276 or titanium diaphragms extend applicability to strong acids (e.g., sulfuric acid in chemical plants) and seawater (marine applications), preventing sensor degradation and media contamination.
• Smart Diagnostic & Predictive Maintenance: Built-in “health monitoring” (via Foundation Fieldbus H1) tracks sensor performance and predicts potential failures (e.g., diaphragm wear, drift). HART event logging stores fault data for post-incident analysis, while real-time alerts (via DCS) enable proactive maintenance—minimizing unplanned downtime.
• Easy Installation & Integration: Standard 1/2 NPT process connection and 2-wire loop-powered design simplify wiring. The optional LCD display (with backlight) allows on-site parameter checks without a communicator, while compatibility with Schneider Electric EcoStruxure software enables centralized configuration and monitoring of multiple transmitters.

4. Application Scenarios

• Oil & Gas: Measures pressure in crude oil pipelines (0-25 bar standard range), wellhead chokes, and offshore production platforms. IP68 protection and corrosion-resistant materials (316L/titanium) withstand seawater and hydrocarbon exposure, ensuring safe fluid transport and production efficiency.
• Chemical Processing: Monitors pressure in reactor vessels (e.g., 0-50 bar for polymer synthesis) and chemical storage tanks. Hastelloy C-276 diaphragms resist strong acids (nitric acid) and bases (caustic soda), complying with ISO 13849 safety standards and preventing process contamination.
• Power Generation: Tracks pressure in boiler feedwater lines (0-100 bar optional) and steam condensers. High accuracy (±0.05% span) ensures optimal boiler efficiency, while Foundation Fieldbus H1 communication integrates with plant DCS for real-time control and fault reporting.
• Marine & Offshore: Measures ballast tank pressure (submerged conditions) and engine cooling system pressure. IP68 housing and vibration resistance (10 g) tolerate ship motion and seawater immersion, meeting IMO (International Maritime Organization) standards for marine equipment.
• Water & Wastewater: Monitors pressure in water distribution pipelines (0-10 bar) and sewage lift stations. IP68 protection withstands rain and temporary submersion, while corrosion resistance (316L) prevents damage from chlorinated water and sewage.

5. Installation & Configuration Notes

• Mounting Guidelines:
  • Field-mount or pipe-mount (via optional bracket: IGP10S-BRK-PIPE) in a location free from direct sunlight and extreme vibration. For submerged applications, ensure the housing’s cable entry is sealed with the provided gland (to maintain IP68).
  • Tighten the process connection to 25-35 N·m (avoid over-tightening to prevent diaphragm damage); use PTFE tape for leak-proof sealing (compatible with wetted materials).
• Wiring Instructions:
  • Use shielded twisted-pair cables (22 AWG minimum) for loop/communication wiring to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). Ground the shield at the DCS/PLC end only.
  • For Foundation Fieldbus H1, use dedicated FF-certified cables (e.g., Belden 3076F) and ensure proper bus termination (120 Ω resistor at bus ends).
• Configuration Steps (Foundation Fieldbus H1):
  1. Connect the transmitter to the FF bus and power on the loop.
  2. Launch EcoStruxure Control Expert, scan for the device (via FF interface), and assign a unique node address.
  3. Select the pressure range, units (bar/psi/kPa), and enable diagnostic alerts (e.g., “overpressure >28 bar”).
  4. Perform zero calibration using a precision dead-weight tester (set to atmospheric pressure for gauge mode) and verify output signal via the software.
• Maintenance Recommendations:
  • Calibrate annually with a NIST-traceable pressure calibrator (e.g., Fluke 729). For corrosive applications, inspect the diaphragm quarterly for pitting or damage.
  • Clean the housing with a damp cloth (avoid harsh chemicals) and check the cable gland seal every 6 months (especially in wet environments) to maintain IP68 protection.
