Tool suite tailored to the needs of users and operators of KROHNE process instrumentation
As part of the KROHNE Services concept, myDevice collects a number of smart service tools for the complete lifecycle of a measuring point.
Smooth commissioning has always been a specialty of KROHNE devices – with myDevice, we’re taking it to a whole new level.
Step-by-step online video tutorials show you how to install, connect, parameterise and check the devices in the process.
Convenient start up of the device from the control room to set parameters, check and display measured values.
Metering or control stations located far away? Check both: measured values and field device status information via mobile communication-based OPTICHECK Remote. Commissioning complete systems, such as water meters in drinking water networks, becomes a breeze.
Whether you just want to check meter health, perform rapid troubleshooting or are required to provide a certificate, OPTICHECK tools supply reliable and verifiable current device status information based on the integrated diagnostic and selftest functions.
Internal verification can be performed at any time, during commissioning or during plant operation. The device does not have to be removed from the process – depending on verification level, essential verification aspects can even be carried out without the need to interrupt the measurement.
Advanced verification up to level 1 without process interruption activates the powerful diagnostic functions built into our field devices and starts an extensive self-test that gives you precise information about the current device status. The result is a detailed report for e.g. proof test documentation of safety loops acc. to IEC 61508/61511 or for quality management systems (ISO 9001).
Highest-possible test depth without process interruption for the most extensive on-site device verification (level 0, 1, 2) available on the market. Via direct connections to the sensor, electronics and signal outputs, you can perform extended tests without dismounting the measuring device. In only 10 minutes, you can get a detailed test report for e.g. proof test documentation of safety loops acc. to IEC 61508/61511 or for quality management systems (ISO 9001).
Optimise applications, maintenance planning and troubleshooting by monitoring individual or multiple measured values from your processes with OPTICHECK tools.
In addition to primary measured values, such as the volume flow rate of an electromagnetic flowmeter, you can also display and analyse the conductivity or temperature of a medium to gain additional insights into processes.
Prevent downtime: Monitoring helps you detect meter wear that may have been caused by corrosion or abrasion, so that you can get ahead of device failure. Log and display trends over time to detect emerging failures, such as electrodes fouling early and to provide maintenance technicians with detailed information that allows them to take effective preventive action.
For the simple long-term trend analysis for individual applications or complex processes all measured values and other information from each measuring instrument are automatically stored in a separate database.
Wide spread measuring network? myDevice contains a dedicated tool for you: an application built upon KROHNE’s web-based IIoT platform and state-of-the-art cybersecurity technology, including data encryption. That allows for convenient monitoring, e.g. checking and logging of measured data, device status and diagnostic information of remote applications. Secure cloud database enables long-term trend analysis. Thanks to remote access, you can analyse the data via the Internet from literally anywhere.
With myDevice tools, you can manage device statuses and have access to all device-related assets – anytime, anywhere.
All data, one location – The Product Information Center KROHNE (PICK) gives you complete access to documents specific to your individual field device and makes the digital twin of your field device available.
The following document types can be found: handbooks, quickstarts, supplementary manuals, calibration certificates, factory settings, parameter datasheets, type plates.
Our video tutorials and courses are excellent sources of knowledge – from general product, process, and regulation information before you buy a measuring instrument, to detailed device handling information once you’re operating it.
Step-by-step through installation, commissioning and verification – short video tutorials (ICV) cover the typical procedures and are available online in 8 languages.
