2.1 Scope of application
The FIDAMAT 6 gas analyzer is used for the
quantitative determination of hydrocarbons. The
analyzer is also suitable for measurements in
corrosive and condensing gas mixtures.
The measuring principle is based on flame
ionization detection (FID) with a minimum
detection level of about 0.1 ppm. During
combustion of hydrocarbons in a hydrogen flame,
ions are produced which are in turn converted into
a current flow by application of an electrical field.
The current intensity arising from this is a
measure of the number of carbon atoms.
Benefits
The FIDAMAT 6 gas analyzer stands out due to
its very wide scope of application.
Accordingly, measurement is possible:
• With H
2
O vapor concentrations up to
100%
• With ultrapure gas applications

2.3 Mode of operation
The FIDAMAT 6 measures compound-class-specifically not
component-specifically. It measures the total of all organic carbons in
a measuring gas but giving different weighting to the hydrocarbon
molecules.
As a first approximation, the value displayed is proportional to the
number of C atoms in the molecule in question. In practice, however,
there are deviations from this. The reading deviation for the molecule
in question is expressed by the response factor.
The measuring gas is supplied to the FIDAMAT 6 under overpressure
or drawn in by the built-in diaphragm pump (optionally via a heated
line and an additional filter) and then routed to the flame ionization
detector via a non-clogging fused-silica restrictor. Within the detector
the hydrocarbons contained in the measuring gas are combusted in
an oxy-hydrogen flame. During the combustion process the organic
hydrocarbons are ionized.
Technical description
The ions which are released are converted into an ion current by the
polarization voltage between two electrodes and then measured using
a highly sensitive amplifier.
The current measured is proportional to the number of organic C
atoms of the hydrocarbons in the measuring gas.
A pressure regulator keeps the pressure of the hydrogen constant. A
mutually adjusted system of pump, capillaries and combustion-air
pressure regulator ensures a constant measuring-gas pressure.
After switching on the analyzer, the flame will be ignited as soon as a
flame temperature of 165°C has been reached. The pump is started
automatically once the flame reaches a temperature of 220°C.
The FIDAMAT 6 sends out various signals in the form of floating
contacts:
• Maintenance request
Measuring-gas flow rate (filter / pump)
Fan failure (advance warning for measurement accuracy)
The unit continues to measure as normal and the measured value is
not affected.
• Fault
Hydrogen, combustion air and measuring gas pressure, temperature,
physical section and pump, fault in the electronics (temperature).
The measured value can be affected; under certain circumstances the
unit will switch into a different state (the combustion-gas valve is
closed). See also "List of maintenance requests” on page 6-5.
Note
Sample gases must be free of dust when they enter the analyzers.
Condensate should be avoided. For this reason, it will in most
application cases be necessary to use a gas conditioning device
suitable for the measurement task in question.

6, OXYMAT 6/ 61, CALOMAT 6, ULTRAMAT 23
and also FIDAMAT 6 provide the following
communication methods:
• ELAN interface (also with SIPROM GA)
• PROFIBUS DP / PA
• AK interface
ELAN interface
ELAN is a serial interface (RS 485) built in as
standard and which allows communication
between several analyzers. A maximum of 12
analyzers with no more than four components
may be networked together. Connection can be
made even without a PC.
The following diagram shows how this works.

SIPROM GA
SIPROM GA is a software utility especially for
service and maintenance tasks. It allows remote
operation and monitoring of all functions of the
analyzers, either as individual units or networked
together.
Functions:
• Display and storage of all device data
• Remote operation of all device functions
• Parameter and configuration settings
• Comprehensive diagnostics information
• Remote calibration
• On-line help
• Cyclic saving of measured values
• Status on hard disk and exportation to
user programs available on the market
• Downloading of new software
Hardware requirements:
• PC or laptop, Pentium 133 MHz,
RAM 32 MB, CD drive
• At least 10 MB free on hard disk
• VGA graphics card supported by
Windows
• Printer supported by Windows
• Unused COM port: RS 232 or for
connection to ELAN network RS 485 /
RS 232
•
For connecting the Ethernet / RS 485
interface converter, a standard 10 Mbit
or 100 Mbit network (RJ 45 connection)
with TCP/ IP is required. With an RS 485
network the distance must not be greater
than 500 m or a repeater will need to be
installed.
Software requirements (optional):
• Windows 95
• Windows 98
• Windows NT 4.0
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP

PROFIBUS DP / PA
PROFIBUS DP / PA is the field-bus market leader.
All Siemens gas analyzers when equipped with an
optional plug-in board (can be retrofitted) have
Profibus capability and meet the mandatory "device
profile for analysis devices” defined by the PNO
(PROFIBUS Nutzer Organisation) (Profibus users
organization). Centralized access to the analyzers
installed in the system is possible using the
SIMATIC PDM operator control utility.
The term "field bus” designates a digital
communication system with which decentrally
installed field devices in a system are networked
together using a single cable and at the same
time connected to automation devices or to a
process control system.
Due to its high transmission speeds coupled with
relatively small data volumes for each device, the
PROFIBUS DP variant is used widely in
production automation, while PROFIBUS PA
takes particular account of properties demanded
in process control, such as large quantities of
data and deployment in explosion-hazard areas.
The benefits to the user lie is considerable
potential for savings in all parts of the system,
from engineering and commissioning, to
operation and maintenance, and later on to
installation expansion.
Technical description
FIDAMAT 6 gas analyzer
2-12 Operating manual – A5E00222135-01
The gas analyzers can be operated from a
control system or a separate PC using the
SIMATIC PDM (Process Device Manager)
operator control utility, a program which runs
under Windows XP or Windows 2000 and which
can also be incorporated into the SIMATIC PCS
7 process control system. This means that is
possible to represent in a clear and logical
manner not only the incorporation of the devices
in the system but also the complex parametrical
structure of the analyzers and operating the units
becomes simply a matter of clicking.
The PROFIBUS users organization (PNO) is an
independent international body representing the
interests of a large number of manufacturers and
users. Alongside services such as giving advice,
training and the certification of devices, its
primary duty is the further development,
standardization and promotion of PROFIBUS
technology. Definition of a mandatory
functionality for a class of devices in a profile is a
necessary condition for devices from different
manufactures behaving in a uniform manner –
what is known as "interoperability”. At the end of
1999 a mandatory profile for analysis devices
was established down thereby ensuring that all
devices in a system with PROFIBUS capability
will work together.
This profile defines the functionalities of the analysis
devices in a block model. For example, the device
block (physical block) describes the measurement
procedure, the analyzer and manufacturer names,
serial number and operational state (in operation,
under maintenance). Different functional blocks
contain the execution of specific functions such as
measured-value processing and alarm response. The
transducer blocks describe the functionality of the
measurement procedure itself as well as control of
the procedure – for example, preprocessing of a
measured value, cross-corrections, curves,
measuring ranges and also switching and control
operations. Data transmission between bus users is
defined in protocols.
Here a distinction is drawn between cyclic and
acyclic services. Time-critical data, such as
measured values and states, are transmitted
using cyclic services. Acyclic services, on the
other hand, permit device parameters to be
interrogated or modified during operation.
All of the gas analyzers in Series 6 (ULTRAMAT
6, OXYMAT 6/ 61, CALOMAT 6, ULTRAMAT 6
and FIDAMAT 6 and also ULTRAMAT 23) have
PROFIBUS capability once fitted with an optional
plug-in board (which can also be retrofitted) (see
also the electronics spare parts from page 7-3
onward of the spare parts list).

AK interface
AK is an interface which is not a standard
integrated part of Series 6 gas analyzers but
which can only be used when an additional board
is fitted. It can be ordered under this order
number:
C79451-A3474-B61
Unlike PROFIBUS and ELAN, communication
with AK is only possible between a device and a
PC and takes place on the master-slave
principle. The devices transfers data only upon
being so requested by a command telegram, and
here it can only process and reply to one
command at a time.
Fig. 2-6: Basic structure of an AK interface
The AK menu can be accessed via function 88
and the parameters set.
The benefit to the user lies in its numerous
functions which are primarily required in the
automotive industry in order to carry out
relinearization,
The principle behind the connection technology
corresponds to an RS 232 and is shown in the
diagram below.
