I’m seeking help from experts in field instrumentation: What are the prices of HART and FF instruments?

Thread Content

I seek help from experts in field instruments: Generally, depending on the output signal of the instrument, there are 4–20mA.DC signals, standard HART signals, FF field bus digital signals, ProfiBus field bus digital signals, and so on. I would like to ask: for the same type of instrument, what is the approximate price relationship between ordinary 4–20 mA DC instruments, HART instruments, and FF fieldbus instruments? For example: What is the factor difference? It would be best to have specific price examples. Looking forward to everyone's replies. This post was last edited by flyfish on 2009-3-9 14:28.]

For the same type of instrument, what is the approximate price difference between conventional 4–20 mA DC instruments, HART instruments, and FF fieldbus instruments? Standard intelligent transmitters with a current range of 4–20 mA DC usually come equipped with HART communication, allowing the use of a handheld device to configure the instrument ; In a broad sense, a HART instrument refers to HART communication with a control card, that is, it replaces 4–20MA ; FF fieldbus instruments are a new type of instrument ; I’m not very familiar with the prices of the latter two types of instruments; the price of a regular smart pressure transmitter is around 4,000 yuan! It’s meaningless to just know the price of the instrument, as it needs to be paired with cards and controllers in order to form a system!

As for the instruments to check, the range is generally between 5 and 1000. If you need further information, you can fax me at Jiangsu Jinhu Tek Instrument Co., Ltd.: 0517-86988226

It seems like the person from that manufacturer upstairs is being harassed. Hehehe

It should be “Normal < HART < FF”. But how large should the quantity be? Like Saiko, over 10,000 FF meters? But generally, manufacturers definitely can’t do it.

“Normal < HART < FF”? ? ? I disagree with the above view; the claim that “ordinary < HART < FF” exists is nothing but a trick used by unscrupulous sellers. Most instruments these days support the HART communication protocol; without it, such products lack any competitive advantage in the market and are bound to be phased out. As for FF fieldbus instruments, they only support the FF bus; if the factory does not have an FF bus installed at all, then there is no need to consider FF instruments at all. However, when upgrading your control systems in the future, it is recommended to use the FF field bus, depending on the distance and quantity of the instruments on site, as this can help reduce investment costs.
