 HOUSTON, TEXAS - November 20, 2007 - Emerson Process Management has introduced new HART communication functionality in the Daniel Model 3804 Liquid Ultrasonic Meter and the Daniel SeniorSonic and JuniorSonic Gas Ultrasonic Meters. The HART communications deliver real-time diagnostics from the ultrasonic meter to Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture including host systems and flow computers. The new functionality enables users to improve operational excellence by leveraging meter diagnostics through PlantWeb, improve uptime by using the advanced monitoring and alarming capability to address maintenance alarms before they lead to failure, and save staff time by using meter diagnostics to quickly troubleshoot meter problems. All diagnostic information delivered from the meter can be viewed with Emerson's AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager. The predictive maintenance software uses enhanced EDDL functionality to give a consistent, graphical presentation of information across intelligent field devices. Plant personnel can quickly detect and respond to abnormal situations with an intuitive view of the process. Users can configure the ultrasonic meter online in the comfort of the maintenance shop using AMS Device Manager or in the field using a 375 Field Communicator. "Emerson continues to extend the portfolio of products that can benefit from the power of PlantWeb," said Dave Hunter, president of Daniel Measurement & Control. "The Daniel Model 3804 Liquid Ultrasonic Meter and the Daniel SeniorSonic and JuniorSonic Gas Ultrasonic Meters add to the extensive range of intelligent Emerson products with powerful HART communications functionality." The Daniel Model 3804, SeniorSonic, and JuniorSonic ultrasonic meters are part of Emerson's broad range of intelligent, digital field devices that power the PlantWeb digital plant architecture. Cost savings, increased availability, and enhanced safety and environmental compliance are achieved when ultrasonic flowmeters are integrated into the PlantWeb architecture.
