New pressure transmitter provides real time control

The Rosemount 4051S Pressure Transmitter, a new industrial measurement solution from Emerson, offers the flexibility to meet the most demanding pressure measurement challenges by increasing performance and operational insights.

This pressure transmitter can provide local real-time control, eliminating the need for a separate device, such as a programmable logic controller. This functionality is provided by two relay switches, each of which can be configured to provide on/off control of pumps, motors and other equipment. These switches can also provide alerts based on pressure, flow, totalized flow, level, volume or module temperature.

The transmitter is engineered to withstand the toughest processes and the harshest environments, with a 20-year warranty and 20-year stability specification, both unique to the pressure transmitter market. Fast response time of 40 milliseconds allows the 4051S to be used in the most demanding applications. A best-in-class 800:1 turndown ratio reduces the number of unique models needed to be kept in stock, streamlining inventory.

Advanced diagnostics provide more insights, with loop integrity continuously monitoring the health of the entire electrical loop to detect potential failures. Plugged impulse line detection alerts plant personnel so they can take action, and the transmitter can also diagnose other abnormal conditions, such as cavitation, using its built-in process intelligence. Built-in calibration and diagnostic logs provide the information needed to optimize maintenance and perform root cause analysis.

The graphical, backlit display is larger than previous models, making it easier to read and allowing inclusion of more descriptive warning messages, an always-on process variable value and a customizable secondary area. The display can be configured in seven languages, and the intuitive user interface speeds and simplifies operator interactions, while reducing the risk of errors.

Bluetooth connectivity from up to 50 feet (15 meters) away improves safety by allowing plant personnel to access the transmitter so they can avoid entering hazardous areas. This fast and easy connectivity increases productivity, reliability, and safety by simplifying operator rounds. Configuration and troubleshooting are improved because operators are informed as to which devices need attention, and the AMS Device Configurator mobile app provides a seamless experience across all devices.

Guided proof testing and logging simplifies these tasks with a step-by-step process. Built-in proof testing provides reliable verification of instrument functionality to improve operational efficiency and safety, and the transmitter is certified to Safety Integrity Level 2/3 and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 61508. Partial proof testing includes in-situ capability allowing you to extend proof test intervals without applying an external pressure source.
