Sensors and Analyzers feature built-in calibration.April 10, 2009 -
Eliminating need for field calibration, PERpH-X® pH sensors, Model 6081 wireless analyzer, Model 1056 dual-input analyzer, and Model 1057 multi-parameter analyzer include SMART capability, where embedded calibration is uploaded to analyzer from sensor at start-up. In addition to built-in calibration, sensors also store calibration data, making it possible to monitor and schedule maintenance on sensors from central control room.

Emerson Unveils Smart Rosemount® Analytical Sensors and Analyzers
New technology builds in calibration, eliminating need for it in the field
IRVINE, CALIF. (April 8, 2009) - Emerson Process Management announces SMART functionality in its high-performance PERpH-X® pH sensors, Model 6081 wireless analyzer, Model 1056 dual-input analyzer, and Model 1057 multi-parameter analyzer. These are the first in a new generation of Rosemount Analytical sensors and analyzers that will be shipped with SMART capability - embedded calibration that is uploaded to the analyzer from the sensor at start-up, eliminating the need for field calibration.
"One of the biggest problems industrial plants experience with their liquid analytical sensors is the need for field calibration," commented John Wright, vice president of marketing, Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical. "It requires many personnel hours, often in harsh and inconvenient environments with messy solutions."
"The new SMART family of sensors and analyzers eliminates the need for field calibration since the as-tested calibration data is embedded in the sensor's memory, and the analyzer reads it automatically, providing immediate live process measurements," continued Wright. "It's a huge time and money saver and we are pleased to be able to supply it to our customers."
SMART capability is already being embedded in the company's Model 6081 wireless analyzer, Model 1056 dual-input analyzer, and Model 1057 multi-parameter analyzer. The new SMART-capable analyzers are backward compatible with all current Rosemount pH and ORP sensors and will continue to operate with all other sensors as well as those of competitors in a standard operating format.
The first sensors to be delivered with built-in SMART technology will be the family of high-performance PERpH-X® pH sensors. "We're leading off with this valuable new capability in pH sensors since they are the most time-consuming because they often have to be recalibrated and replaced more frequently than other types of sensors," according to Wright. "The SMART sensors will be extremely useful to our customers. In addition to the built-in calibration, the new sensors also store calibration data making it possible to easily monitor and schedule maintenance on these sensors from a central control room."
