Transmitter-Sensor Matching

The Transmitter-Sensor matching feature of the Rosemount Model 3144P, 3244MV with FOUNDATION fieldbus, and 644 Temperature Transmitters can reduce the error in a temperature point measurement by over 75%.

Sensor Interchangeability error is one of the largest sources of error in a temperature measurement.  Rosemount's unique transmitter-sensor matching feature eliminates sensor interchangeability error and greatly improves the overall accuracy of your temperature measurement.

HOW?


All temperature transmitters, DCSs, and PLCs use ideal sensor curves to translate a sensor's signal into a temperature.  Since temperature sensors are never ideal, error is introduced into the temperature measurement.  At a process temperature of 300°C (572°F), the Sensor Interchangeability Error for a platinum RTD is 1.8°C (3.24°F)!

Rosemount's temperature transmitters are the only transmitters on the market that can eliminate sensor interchangeability error.  By accepting Callendar-Van Dusen constants, generated from a specific RTD's calibration data, the Model 3144, 3244MV with FOUNDATION fieldbus, and 644 use the real sensor curve to translate the sensor's signal into a temperature -- eliminating sensor interchangeability error and significantly reducing the total measurement error!
