Rosemount 8700M magnetic flowmeter with Modbus

Click2Contact

Emerson Process Management has announced the addition of Modbus RS485 and a low-power option to its Rosemount 8700M magnetic flowmeter range. With the Modbus output, access to advanced diagnostics (including SMART Meter Verification) and electrode coating detection, the product provides users with information about the flowmeter, installation and process.

The scalable power supply options enable access to the reliability of a magnetic flowmeter, coupled with the large amount of data available through the Modbus protocol, to provide a solution suitable for remote locations where power is limited. The combination of the low-power capabilities and the Modbus output create a solution for applications such as well pad water measurement.

The updated range also leverages human-centred design concepts for easier installation. With a fully functional, through-the-glass local operator interface (LOI), all diagnostic information is readily available. Enhanced terminal compartments offer more space and more robust connections on the sensor and transmitter, making installation and field wiring easier. Finally, the ProLink III PC-based configuration tool has been enhanced to provide a simple and intuitive way to configure the Rosemount Modbus magnetic flowmeter transmitters.
