Multivariable transmitter

Emerson Process Management has released the Rosemount Analytical Model Xmt two-wire transmitter for liquid analysis.

Plants using Rosemount Analytical sensors for the measurement of pH, conductivity or amperometric measurements such as dissolved oxygen, chlorine and ozone now have access to the operational and maintenance efficiencies of PlantWeb digital plant architecture when connected to the AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager software.

Diagnostics continuously monitor sensor performance and allow remote warning of potential or imminent failure, thereby improving predictive maintenance and reducing costs.

The Foundation Fieldbus capability now incorporated within the Xmt unit includes hazardous area intrinsic safety approvals, from FM, CSA and ATEX.

The low power requirements of the Foundation Fieldbus reduces the plant power budget for continuous measurement. To better secure the device against unwanted reprogramming and calibration, which can be disruptive to plant process monitoring.

The transmitter implements security code access to limit operation to selected personnel, as needed.

The Model Xmt has an IP65 specification and is available in panel or surface mount configurations, or can be installed using a pipe mounting bracket accessory.

Each version of the analyser can be field configured to suit plant preferences for measurement display (for example pH, ORP or Redox with Model Xmt-P).

Rosemount Analytical contacting or toroidal conductivity sensors can also be coupled to the transmitter, enabling complete coverage of water purity and solution concentration measurements.
