New communication interfaces
September 1st 2008 Emerson Process Management
has introduced new
communication options
for the Micro Motion
2400S transmitter. The
compact devices, which
mount integrally on to
Micro Motion ELITE
Coriolis meters, are now
available with DeviceNet
or PROFIBUS DP
communication protocols
in addition to the traditional
interfaces such as 4-20 mA,
frequency and HART.
DeviceNet and PROFIBUS DP
are widely used across many
industries and processes with
PLCs. Direct digital
communications with the PLCs
means that two wires can now
carry secondary and
tertiary process variables
and instrument/process
diagnostic information, as
well as the primary
measurement. This brings
the power of Micro Motion
Coriolis flow and density
devices into the user's host
system by providing flow,
density and temperature
measurements through a single
device, eliminating the need for
multiple sensors and associated
wiring/configuration costs. More articles from Emerson Process Management: |
