AXF Verication Tool is a PC application software running in conjunction with FieldMate R2.05.00
or later.

Without having to remove the AXF magnetic owmeter from process line, its condition can be
veried by checking several items and this tool provides a certicate that the unit is operating in
accordance with YOKOGAWA standards. It is essentially an indication that the AXF is operating
to its standards and is useful in supporting plant maintenance practices. It differs from actual-ow
calibration at a manufacturing plant.

This tool stores verication data (*1) in a database (*2) in an organized manner, and can be used
to print a Verication Report that has not only the individual verication items (*3) result but also
the overall status of “passed” or “failed”. It is thus useful for device maintenance management.

*1: Verication data means the data saved by the user.
*2: Database means a collection of verication data saved in Device Maintenance Information.
*3: For the verication items, refer to 2.2.

2.1 Conguration

The following equipment is required to use Verication Tool ver. 1.01.00;

• YOKOGAWA magnetic owmeter AXF with HART Communication (AXF Output Signal and
Communication sufx code: -E).

• PC (*1) and Printer

• Magnetic Flowmeter Calibrator AM012 (Only for Enhanced VF (*2), Optional)

• Handy Calibrator CA150 or equivalent (Only for Enhanced VF (*2), Optional)

• Insulation Checker (Only for Enhanced VF (*2), Optional)

*1: Regarding the PC environment, refer to IM 01R01A01-01E Part B,C.
*2: VF stands for “Verication”.

2.2 Verication Item

This Verication Tool has 2 modes, which can be run separately.

1. Standard Verication (Standard VF)

• This mode veries the condition of the AXF without difculty by checking its internal param­eters. No external instruments are required.

• Some items are run only when FieldMate is in “online (*1)” mode.

2. Enhanced Verication (Enhanced VF) [Optional]

• This mode provides a more reliable verication by performing a detailed overview equivalent
to SERVICE.

• This mode is optional. If only this mode is completed, “Overall Status” is left blank.

• This mode veries AXF by using external instruments, such as Magnetic Flowmeter Calibra­tor AM012, Handy Calibrator CA150, and so on.

• Even when FieldMate is in “ofine (*2)” mode, this mode can be run; in this case, some set­tings must be made manually.

There are only 2 possible combinations:

1. Standard VF

2-3

2. Standard VF + Enhanced VF

*1: Online: The status in which the software communicates with a device.
*2: Ofine: The status in which the software does not communicate with a device.
The communication status between FieldMate and AXF can be conrmed on the FieldMate window.
*3: These items are checked only when Verication Tool is in “online” mode.
*4: When Verication Tool is in “ofine” mode, manual setting is necessary.

6.2.1 “Circuit” check and “Device Status” check
(Verication Tool is in “online” mode)

CAUTION

• “Circuit” check and “Device Status” check temporarily change the parameters of AXF. In
case of unexpected termination, follow 8.2.

• The AXF owtube should be completely lled with uid, otherwise the results may be
inadequate.

• These items are run only when Verication Tool is in “online” mode.

• These items are veried for 2 types. Each condition check can be run separately.

(A) “No Flow” condition:

Veries the condition of the AXF by checking;

- Circuits including the excitation circuit and the magnetic circuit inside the owtube when
the uid velocity is completely zero.

- The present and past history of alarms.

6-12

(B) “Flow” condition:

Veries the condition of the AXF by checking;

- Circuits including the excitation circuit and the operation circuit which calculates the ow
velocity when the uid velocity is sufcient.

- The present and past history of alarms.

• There are 3 combinations:

(1) No Flow

(2) Flow

(3) Flow + No Flow

• The check items of the “Circuit” check depend on the case as follows:

• Nominal size of the unit.

• With or without the optional code ELC (DC Noise Cut Circuit).

• Test condition type; “Flow” or “No Flow”.

• This mode provides more reliable verication by performed inspections equivalent to SERV­ICE.

• This mode is optional.

• This mode veries AXF by using external instruments, such as Magnetic Flowmeter Calibra­tor AM012, Handy Calibrator CA150, and so on.

• Even when FieldMate is in “ofine” mode, this mode can be run, but some manual setting
will have to be performed.

NOTE

When Verication Tool is in “online” mode:

If Verication Tool turns to “ofine” mode due to wiring disconnections, reconnect FieldMate and

In terms of keeping its own data integrity, veri cation data cannot be copied, nor can it be saved
as other name. Veri cation data except for “Locked data” can be saved only by newly saving or

“Installation data” functions as a reference. Each device can have only one “Installation data”.
When the veri cation data is saved by checking the “Save as installation data” box in Figure

“Locked data” is saved as read-only. The icon in Data Status is “ ”.

After verication data is saved as “Locked data”, the data:

• can be loaded.

• can be printed out.

• cannot be over-written.

When verication is complete, save the verication data as “Locked data” to prevent unexpected
over-writing or falsifying, before printing. (Recommended)

Verication data which is neither “Installation data” nor “Locked data” can be edited. When veri­cation is to be continued later, do not save as either “Installation data” or “Locked data”.
