700XA vs. Model 700Goals • Understand the difference in electronic & analytical sections • Understand communication option differences
700XA is lean by design: easier to build, fewer parts 700XA vs. Model 700 Mechanical Construction Standard C6+ Application
700XAUsability • Easy access to communication terminations Model 700 700XA
700XAUsability • Significant reduction in cabling 700XA Model 700
700XAUsability • Pivot-top oven base provides maximum accessibility to components Easy access to solenoids and connections 700XA Model 700
700XA vs Model 700Analytical Oven • Higher temperature capability • 150 C vs 130 C • More application capabilities • Change in heating • Better temperature stability • More Valves • 4 in 700XA vs 3 in M700 • More application capabilities • Larger Column Housing • More columns • Capillary columns • New valves • Micro versions of the M500 6 and 10-port valves
700XA vs Model 700 The Analytical Oven – Heating • Heat from inside and outside • Better temperature stability
700XA vs Model 700 The Analytical Oven - Valves • New “XA” Valves • Smaller, more analytically reliable valve design • Less carrier and valve actuation gas required • 6 and 10 port configurations • Sample does not come in contact with internal moving parts • Over 5 million operations per valve • Lifetime warranty on diaphragm valves • Diaphragm replacement takes <10 minutes
700XA vs Model 700 The Analytical Oven – Detectors • Combining proven successful thermistor bead detectors and new electronics results in stronger performance • 0-30 ppm H2S with detection limit approaching ppb level • Repeatabilities on natural gas analysis of +/- 0.10 BTU in controlled environments
700XA vs Model 700 The Analytical Oven – Open Space • EPCs (future) • Future detectors?? • No processing electronics
700XA vs. Model 700Communications • Analog Outputs • 6 standard (vs 4) • Isolated (vs. non-isolated) • 14 total available (vs. 12) • Analog Inputs • Digital Outputs • Digital Inputs • Ethernet • 2 connections (vs 1) • FOUNDATION fieldbus • Serial Ff termination
700XA vs Model 700Summary • Smaller footprint, with more hardware capacity • More analytical capabilities • Easier Maintenance • Better performance • No processing boards in the analytical section
700XA vs Competition – Traditional Process GCs • Rugged design - External mounting is “Realistic” • Can be rained or snowed on • Does not require purging, an expensive utility cost • No temperature effect on measurement • Traditional GCs will operate from 0-130F, but component values will change with temperature movement • Smaller footprint • Lower power requirements • ~10% required compared to a traditional airbath GC • FF capabilities • MON20/20 software • Historical chromatogram storage is a differentiator
700XA vs Competition – Natural Gas GCs • Scalability • Capable of complex measurements in one housing • No need for a daughter oven • Component level repairs vs. expensive module replacement • $300/year vs. $3000/yr • No processing boards in the analytical section • Small leaks of corrosive components will not require an expensive rebuild • Communication options • Serial (up to 5), Ethernet (2), Modem, Ff, I/Os
