Emerson upgrades the pressure transmitter for a faster, better experience

Rosemount 3051 Pressure Transmitter’s new capabilities offer mobile responsive connectivity, improve efficiency and provide safer facilities.

Today’s labour force expects technology to be intuitive, mobile and responsive. With enhanced graphical displays, Bluetooth wireless technology and better overall usability, Emerson’s Rosemount 3051 Pressure Transmitter meets expectations to modernise operations – making it safer to interact with field equipment and more efficient for managing maintenance and service. Emerson’s new enhanced Rosemount 3051 Pressure Transmitter adds new capabilities to the device. Powerful new features make the Rosemount 3051 easier to use, provide more insights and add diagnostic capabilities – all of which allow the completion of commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting tasks faster. The Rosemount 3051 delivers the same reliability, and quality customers expect from Emerson, but now with modern features that help teams to be more efficient, facilities safer and overall operations more profitable. 

The RosemountTM 3051 Pressure Transmitter user interfaces have been redesigned to provide a simplified, task-based menu structure with common navigation across host and configuration tools for a faster, more intuitive user experience. The new, high-contrast, graphical and backlit display can operate in eight different languages, and its visual icons give better insight into transmitter status for a more intuitive experience. 

The new Bluetooth wireless technology simplifies configuration and service tasks without physically connecting to a device, making maintenance safer by eliminating the need to climb ladders or tanks, get hot work permits or enter hazardous locations. With a few simple inputs and built-in password protection, users will have an encrypted data connection from the transmitter to the mobile device or configuration tool.

Additional transmitter upgrades include capabilities that have historically been limited to flow meters and level devices. Now operators can easily configure the device to measure flow rate and track total flow. Level measurements are more straightforward, with a built-in configurator to set up level outputs. Volume measurements are also possible for common tank styles or customised tanks requiring a strapping table.

The Rosemount 3051 helps identify issues in electrical loops and impulse lines using built-in diagnostics. It can identify issues which could result in the control system receiving incorrect measurements, potentially leading to safety and quality compromising decisions. 

All diagnostic events are tracked in the built-in diagnostic log, which always lets users know the device status, even when not connected to the device. These capabilities help service technicians address potential problems faster by detecting them early when they can still be corrected before jeopardising people’s safety, operations and the environment.
