HIGH-PERFORMANCE MULTIPLEXER More flexibility and efficiency for NIR process applications at several measurement points Process Analytics Process Analytics Process Analytics Measurement Principles Materials and Probe Technologies Applications Configurator Process probes Process measurement cells Mulitplexer FMX Accessories FAQ Mulitplexer FMX Multiplexer FMX Efficient Realization of NIR Process Applications with up to 16 Measurement Points Using Only One Spectrometer Increasing demands on the flexibility of industrial production plants in the (petro-)chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries call for future-proof automation systems. Processes are optimized to the maximum with the help of process analytical technology (PAT) and must be economical along the entire value chain. This requires a flexible and cost-efficient integration of measuring interfaces at various points in the process, which continuously analyze and monitor the production. The high performance »Multiplexer FMX« enables process analytics with measuring interfaces at up to 16 different measuring points with only one spectrometer. When does the multiplexer become profitable? You want to implement a spectroscopic solution for at least two NIR measuring points ! You want to significantly reduce your investment costs per measuring point ! You want to avoid the acquisition & maintenance of several spectrometers ! Measurement of Liquids in Transmission or Transflection With a focus on liquid measurement, the main application area of the Multiplexer FMX is online installations for measurements in transmission or transflectance. This way online measurements can be realized in different process steps and on several production lines with only one spectrometer. The integration can be carried out efficiently and customer-specific with different probes and measurement cells, in different process steps on several production lines for a wide range of applications. All Benefits at a Glance: Reduction of investment costs per measuring point High transmission & equally good performance on all channels Flexible at any time expandable up to 16 measuring points Reduction of Investment Costs per Measuring Point The optical switching between different channels of the multiplexer makes it possible to use several measuring points with one instrument. This enables the user to forward measurement signals from several spectroscopic sample interfaces to a single process spectrometer. Example with 3 measurement points without »Multiplexer FMX« Example with 3 measurement points with »Multiplexer FMX« The investment costs for the installation and connection of one measuring point are significantly reduced. Thus, up to 16 different probes and measurement cells can be installed in a space-saving, simple and economical way. Due to the efficient connection of several measuring points, the use of a multiplexer already pays off from two measuring points. ROI (Return on Investment) The following is an example of the investment costs with and without the use of a multiplexer depending on the number of measuring points. The implementation costs are always the same and constant in both cases. Would you like to learn more? Get advice from our experts » Contact now! High Performance on all Channels The »Multiplexer FMX« gives you stable, precise and reproducible measurement values. This simplifies the method transfer to other measuring points in the production plant and reduces the workload. Overall, the multiplexer contributes significantly to process transparency and enables you to achieve optimum control. High Transmission The integrated high-quality optics with retroreflector always redirect the light beam optimally and thus ensures high transmission. This is a technical advantage compared to solutions with a prism. High Precision and Reproducibility Undisturbed signal transmission Product features that prove convincing in use Excellent channel synchronization between transmitting and receiving channels Uniform illumination of all channels Short switching time between different channels <1s Low interfering signals: no fringing, no cross talk No frequency shift between channels High comparability of channels due to rotationally symmetric optics Chemistry Petrochemistry Pharmaceutical Food Demand-Oriented Product Equipment and Subsequent Expansion The equipment of the multiplexer can be adapted in a modular way according to your actual needs and can be extended flexibly as well as economically at any time. Two Differently Equipped Models: 10 or 16 Channels The basic version is designed for a total of 10 channels and offers 3 pre-installed channels as preparation for connection to the measuring points. Additional channels are freely selectable during product choice in the configurator. Basic version with 10 channels 3 channels preinstalled All further channels flexibly expandable Extended version with 16 channels 3 channels preinstalled All further channels flexibly expandable The multiplexer is equipped by default with the feature bidirectional and can switch both transmitted and received signals simultaneously. A unidirectional model is also available.
