The MB3000-CH90 gas analyzer provides fast and accurate FT-IR critical gas measurements down to ppb levels in a user-friendly environment. 

Overview

This high performance and maintenance-free spectrometer is typically used in R&D or QA/QC laboratories for checking gas purity, controlling gas mixing and composition or performing unknown components speciation.

The heated gas cell can be easily swapped and replaced with other sampling accessories, making the MB3000-CH90 a flexible and versatile tool for any laboratory.

The MB3000-CH90 provides fast and accurate gas measurements in a user-friendly environment. The Horizon software enables the use of commercial or personalized spectral libraries for unknown gas identification and the heatable gas cell can be tuned for either long or short pathlength applications.

ABB‘s tight manufacturing tolerances and specifications for analyzer-to-analyzer matching permit laboratory development of calibrations which are routinely transferred to ABB process instruments.

Data

Typical applications of the MB3000-CH90 are found in both R&D and QA/QC laboratories, for example checking gas purity, controlling gas mixing and composition or performing unknown components specification. The MB3000-CH90 is also used for fast off-line analysis of grab samples obtained from airborne or process gases.

This latest advancement in interferometer technology is extremely modular and compact and is combined with a patented 24-bit sampling algorithm for optimal dynamic range. The permanently aligned optics with a Jacquinot stop in the interferometer output beam ensure an accurate and stable line shape as well as wavelength and resolution stability.

As result, the MB3000-CH90 offers an outstanding spectroscopic performance enabling ppb level gas analyzes with a standard DTGS detector. In addition, the analyzer can also be fitted with an optional and hot-swappable liquid nitrogen-cooled MCT detector for applications requiring higher sensitivity or measurement speed.

MBGAS-3000CH features

The MBGAS-3000CH is designed for continuous

24/7 operation without need for operator intervention.

A comprehensive health monitoring program

runs continuously in the background to ensure that

all measurements are correct at any time. Efficient

optics of the MBGAS-3000CH provide an excellent

signal-to-noise performance, so that the detector

does not require cooling for extra-sensitivity.

This greatly enhances the reliability and simplicity

of the FT-IR measurement compared with process

analyzers that require liquid nitrogen-cooled or

Stirling-cooled detectors. Furthermore, all optical

components are non-hygroscopic therefore avoiding moisture damage, eliminating the need for

desiccant and reducing maintenance requirements.

StepUp is program of ABB’s for upgrading

older process control equipment to the

latest Advant OCS solutions at particularly

favorable terms. The theme of the program

varies from time to time; this time the turn

has come to users of MasterPiece 200⁄1

controllers to upgrade to the latest Advant

Controller 400 series process controllers, at

substantially reduced prices.

You gain performance; Count on three to

five times the speed of your current

machine(s) (vs. Advant Controller 450) and

multiple amounts of more memory.

Higher processing speed and more

memory means more work done faster, as

well as more space for trend data storage.

You gain functionality; Advant Controller

400 series offers a number of important

functional improvements, e.g.:

• Support for a number of new, popular

communication protocols, e.g. Advant

Fieldbus 100, Profibus DP, LONWorks

and Allen-Bradley’s DF1.

Introduction

The purpose of this application note is to explain the steps required to get an ABB motion drive operating in conjunction with an

AC servo motor and ‘tuned’ to achieve the best possible performance. Although some references are made to induction motor

parameters, setup and tuning of induction motors is covered by a separate application note.

MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 motion drives

The MicroFlex e190 and MotiFlex e180 are sophisticated servo drives which have been designed to meet the requirements of

both de-centralised single axis intelligent solutions and centralised multi-axis systems, providing high performance in an

They provide an ideal solution to many machine applications and are ideal components for machine builders and system

integrators.

In this application note we will describe the commissioning process for a MotiFlex e180. The process is almost identical for a

MicroFlex e190 drive so references in this document to MotiFlex e180 are generally interchangeable with MicroFlex e190 unless

stated otherwise.
