Emerson has introduced the Rosemount 8712EM wall mount magnetic flowmeter transmitter with additional protocols, powerful diagnostic capabilities and usability features to help users in the water and wastewater, metals and mining, and other industries gain quick and easy insight into their processes.
The meter’s local operator interface was designed using human centred design concepts, making it easier and faster for technicians to navigate in the field. According to Scott Dudek, product manager for Rosemount magnetic flowmeters, “The Rosemount 8712EM melds usability pioneered by Emerson’s Human Centered Design Group with the quality, capabilities, and reliability that customers have come to trust.”
The instrument’s diagnostic suite includes high process noise as well as ground fault detection, while the electrode coating diagnostic offers two set points to alert when coating is present and when it is affecting flow measurement, enabling preventative maintenance. The smart Meter Verification continuously monitors the health and performance of the meter for ultimate measurement confidence.
Universal transmitter capability allows the 8712EM to operate with any existing magnetic flowmeter sensor and allows backwards compatibility with all Rosemount magnetic sensors. This feature not only makes the transmitter easier to integrate with older units, but it also enables the use of the 8712EM’s advanced diagnostic features.
The Rosemount 8712EM supports HART 7 for 32-character-long tag capability for reduced start-up time, as well as options for intrinsically safe HART outputs and Modbus RS-485.
