Ultrasonic PlantWeb®
Capability
New Expansion
Board with HART® delivers real time
diagnostics
Product overview and
capabilities
Emerson Process Management has
introduced new
communication functionality with the introduction of
the Expansion Board with HART®.
The HART communications deliver
real-time diagnostics from the ultrasonic meter to Emerson's PlantWeb®
digital plant architecture including host systems and flow computers.
The new functionality enables users to improve operational excellence by
leveraging meter diagnostics through PlantWeb, improve uptime by using
advanced monitoring and alarming capability to address maintenance
alarms before they lead to failure, and save staff time by using meter
diagnostics to quickly troubleshoot meter problems.

All diagnostic information delivered from the
meter can be viewed with Emerson's AMS™ Suite:
Intelligent Device Manager. The predictive maintenance software uses
enhanced EDDL functionality to give a consistent, graphical presentation
of information across intelligent field devices. Plant personnel can
quickly detect and respond to abnormal situations with an intuitive view
of the process. Users can configure the ultrasonic meter online in the
comfort of the maintenance shop using AMS Device Manager or in the field
using a 375 Field Communicator.
The Daniel Model 3804 ultrasonic meter is part of Emerson's broad range
of intelligent, digital field devices that powers the PlantWeb digital
plant architecture. Cost savings, increased availability, and enhanced
safety and environmental compliance are achieved when ultrasonic
flowmeters are integrated into the PlantWeb architecture.
