In the complex landscape of industrial process control, accurate pressure measurement is the cornerstone of operational efficiency, safety, and profitability. Yokogawa, a global leader in industrial automation solutions, has set a new standard with its EJA110E differential pressure transmitter—a flagship model in the EJA-E series launched in 2012. Blending the rugged reliability of the proven EJA-A series with the high-performance capabilities of the EJX-A series, the EJA110E embodies Yokogawa’s commitment to innovation and excellence in process instrumentation. This article explores the technical specifications, cutting-edge features, and real-world benefits that make the EJA110E an indispensable tool for modern industrial operations.

Unmatched Accuracy and Long-Term Stability
At the core of the EJA110E’s performance is its industry-leading accuracy and stability, ensuring consistent measurements even in demanding environments. The transmitter boasts a standard accuracy of 0.055%, with an optional 0.04% accuracy grade for applications requiring the highest precision. This level of accuracy translates directly to better process control, reducing waste and optimizing resource utilization across industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation.

Equally impressive is the EJA110E’s long-term stability, rated at 0.1% per 10 years. Unlike many competitors’ transmitters that drift over time and require frequent recalibration, the EJA110E maintains its performance specifications for decades, minimizing maintenance costs and operational disruptions. For industrial facilities operating 24/7, this stability is not just a technical advantage—it is a financial one, as unplanned downtime and calibration expenses can quickly escalate into significant losses.

The Power of DPharp Digital Sensor Technology
What truly sets the EJA110E apart is Yokogawa’s proprietary DPharp digital sensor, a technological marvel that redefines pressure measurement performance. Unlike traditional analog sensors based on outdated design principles, the DPharp sensor leverages state-of-the-art IC chip-style manufacturing, delivering twice the performance and stability of analog alternatives. This modern design ensures that measurements remain consistent even in the face of fluctuating operating conditions, providing reliability that industrial processes depend on.

One of the most critical advantages of the DPharp sensor is its resilience to overpressure events—common occurrences in industrial settings during start-ups, shutdowns, or process upsets. When pressure exceeds the sensor’s Upper Range Limit (URL), analog sensors often suffer permanent damage, requiring costly recalibration or replacement. In contrast, the EJA110E’s DPharp sensor can withstand large overpressure events without compromising performance. Once pressure returns to normal operating levels (below URL), the transmitter resumes operation within its specified accuracy and stability ranges—no recalibration needed. This robust design significantly extends the transmitter’s operational envelope, reducing downtime and maintenance headaches.

 Advanced Features for Enhanced Process Control
The EJA110E is packed with features designed to optimize process control and operational flexibility. Signal characterization is a standout function that allows users to compensate the analog 4 to 20 mA output signal for non-linear applications, such as tank strapping or flow measurements. By using up to 10 calibration points, this feature ensures that the relationship between pressure input and output signal accurately reflects the process requirements, eliminating inaccuracies caused by non-linear process behaviors. This level of customization translates to better process efficiency and cost savings, making it a “found money” feature for operators.

The transmitter’s local indicator is another user-centric design element that enhances on-site monitoring. Unlike competitors’ indicators, which rely on the 4 to 20 mA analog signal, the EJA110E’s indicator operates on a separate circuit, allowing it to function independently of the output signal. This design enables the display of critical variables—including differential pressure (DP), static pressure (SP), and capsule temperature—along with alarm codes and a sweeping bar graph for visual process representation. Fully programmable, the indicator can be customized to display the most relevant information for specific applications, providing operators with instant insights at the transmitter location.

Diagnostics and Safety: Minimizing Surprises
In industrial operations, unexpected equipment failures can lead to costly downtime and safety risks. The EJA110E addresses this with advanced diagnostic capabilities, featuring 40 self-diagnostic checks to ensure smooth operation. What distinguishes Yokogawa’s diagnostics is its patented Back-check Technology, which reverses all calculations in real-time to detect anomalies, and the active nature of the DPharp sensor. Unlike passive analog sensors that do not provide continuous signals, the DPharp sensor constantly transmits data, allowing the transmitter to immediately identify signal loss and alert operators to potential issues. This proactive approach to diagnostics minimizes surprises and ensures timely maintenance.

Rugged Design and Flexible Communication
Industrial environments are harsh, and equipment must withstand extreme conditions to maintain performance. The EJA110E is built for ruggedness, with a mechanical overpressure protection system within the capsule that guards against unexpected surges or improper manifold sequencing. This design ensures reliability even in the most challenging settings, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.

Yokogawa also understands the importance of flexible communication in modern industrial setups.

The EJA110E offers multiple communication options to suit different operational needs: FieldMate, a PC-based platform for managing instrument inventory; FieldMate HHC, a handheld device for on-site adjustments; and Local Parameter Setting (LPS), which allows users to update 9 critical parameters without a handheld device. This flexibility ensures that maintenance can be performed quickly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Simple Troubleshooting for Rapid Resolution
When a transmitter alarms, quick resolution is essential to avoid prolonged downtime. The EJA110E simplifies troubleshooting with error codes displayed on the local indicator, complete with short descriptive text to help operators identify issues immediately. For more complex problems, the comprehensive manual provides detailed explanations of all codes and recommended corrective actions. This streamlined approach to troubleshooting ensures that issues are resolved quickly, getting processes back online faster.

Conclusion: A Smart Investment for Industrial Excellence
