Pressure transmitter diagnostics

By Plant Engineering Staff January 24, 2007

The ASP Diagnostics Suite is embedded in the pressure transmitter that is part of the Rosemount 3051S series of instrumentation. The diagnostic enhancement provides tools for troubleshooting, detecting and preventing abnormal situations. Patented statistical process monitoring technology, integral to the transmitter, provides an early warning of abnormal process or equipment conditions such as plugged impulse lines, changes in fluid composition or other events signaled by a change in the noise characteristics of the pressure signal.Early notification of these abnormal conditions allows operators to respond quickly, reducing maintenance costs and increasing plant productivity. The suite also includes time-stamped variable logging and advanced process alert capabilities to detect and record transient events or conditions outside specified limits of the transmitter. Diagnostic information can be viewed on the enhanced EDDL-based graphical user interface.
