Schneider Electric Foxboro IDP10-AF1C01F – Differential Pressure Transmitter for stable, HART-enabled process control
The Schneider Electric Foxboro IDP10-AF1C01F is a two‑wire differential pressure transmitter built for everyday plant duties—flow across orifice plates or venturis, filter monitoring, steam line balancing, and level in pressurized vessels. From my experience, the IDP10 series is chosen when teams want dependable 4–20 mA with HART diagnostics, good long‑term stability, and a housing that survives washdowns and outdoor cabinets. You might notice that it holds zero nicely after line upsets, which is exactly what maintenance teams appreciate on night shifts.

Key Features
- 2‑wire 4–20 mA with HART – Simple loop power with remote configuration, trending, and basic diagnostics over HART.
- Differential pressure measurement – Suits flow, filter, and level applications; high static pressure capability on typical IDP10 cells.
- Stable, low drift performance – Typically holds calibration well over long intervals, reducing trips to the field.
- Rugged enclosure – Weather‑resistant housing (commonly IP66/67) for outdoor and washdown areas.
- Flexible installation – Mounts to 2‑inch pipe or a backplate; compatible with standard 3‑ or 5‑valve manifolds.
- Local adjust – Zero/span buttons and, where fitted, an LCD for quick checks at the point of installation.

Installation & Maintenance
A good setup usually starts with a dry, well‑ventilated cabinet or a shaded location with minimal vibration. Keep impulse lines short, slope them back to the process to avoid pockets, and always include block/bleed valves. If you’re measuring flow, mount close to the primary element and follow the recommended orientation (high side to upstream tap, low side to downstream).
- Power & wiring: 24 VDC loop supply typical; ensure 250 Ω total loop resistance for reliable HART communication.
- Grounding & shielding: Use a single‑point ground and shielded cable in noisy areas; separate from high‑voltage conduits.
- Hazardous areas: Select the correct approval code and barriers/isolators where required; check nameplate before energizing.
- Routine care: Verify zero and span during turnarounds; clean impulse lines; review HART diagnostics; update configuration backups.
- Calibration: Interval often annual or per QA plan—these transmitters typically hold calibration well between checks.
One thing I appreciate is how forgiving the IDP10 can be after process upsets—most teams report minimal re‑zeroing. A maintenance manager we worked with mentioned their units stayed within tolerance after a full season on a steam header, which seems to be consistent for this platform.
Quality & Certifications
- CE conformity; RoHS compliance in most configurations.
- Explosion‑proof / intrinsically safe approvals (ATEX/IECEx, FM, CSA) available depending on option code.
- Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality systems.
- Manufacturer warranty typically 12–24 months by region and options; we provide a 365‑day warranty on supply.
If you’re replacing an older DP transmitter, the IDP10-AF1C01F usually drops into existing 2‑inch pipe brackets and standard manifolds without surprises. Send your service conditions (range, static pressure, wetted materials) and we’ll verify the option code against your application before shipping.
