Emerson introduces software tool for
customers using Modbus with Micro Motion® Coriolis Meters
Innovative new Modbus interface tool simplifies Modbus
programming and commissioning of Coriolis meters
BOULDER,
COLO. (March 23, 2009) – Emerson Process Management now
offers a complimentary, innovative new support utility for
all Micro Motion customers who use Modbus protocol to
interact with their Coriolis meters. The Modbus Interface
Tool is a PC-based data delivery system that replaces more
than fifty pages of Modbus register data in tabular form
with a simple point-and-click spreadsheet presentation.
The Modbus Interface Tool allows users to select, sort, and
group register data by Coriolis device, Modbus address,
datatype, or keyword, using familiar spreadsheet functions.
The tool greatly simplifies device commissioning as
communications programmers can now dynamically select and
organize the information they need, rather than having to
scan multiple pages of detailed data in small print.
Control systems based on digital protocols, such as Modbus,
are typically more accurate and provide faster response than
analog control systems. As a result, digital control systems
are increasing in popularity and are generally preferred by
OEMs and systems integrators. The Modbus digital interface,
implemented by a significant number of Micro Motion users,
provides a complete window into the Coriolis device,
including configuration, operations, maintenance, and
troubleshooting.
The Modbus Interface Tool (MIT) is available for download at
the Micro Motion website at
