Emerson Continues to Shrink Coriolis Transmitters' Size and Installation Costs



Ultra-compact Micro Motion® Model 1500 MVD(TM) transmitter
features multivariable digital signal processing

Boulder, Colorado. -- (March 5, 2004) Integrating Coriolis meters into Emerson's PlantWeb® digital plant architecture, PLC programmable logic controller systems, or DCS distributed control systems has been made easier and more cost effective with Emerson Process Management's recent release of the new Micro Motion® Model 1500 MVD(TM) Coriolis transmitter.

Designed to easily fit into control room panels, the Micro Motion Model 1500 MVD transmitter has a simple 4-wire connection to the sensor for power and signal, eliminating the expense of running custom cables or providing a separate power source at the sensor. The Micro Motion Model 1500 MVD transmitter's small size saves additional expense in the control room, requiring only 0.03 cubic feet of control room space versus 1.0 cubic feet of space typically required for Coriolis transmitters.

Though small in size, the Micro Motion Model 1500 MVD transmitter is large in value. It offers immediate improvements in process measurements due to the transmitter's advanced, patented digital signal processing (DSP) technology, called MVD. The Micro Motion Model 1500 MVD transmitter provides milliamp and frequency outputs for direct mass and volumetric flow measurement, and allows easy monitoring of density, temperature, flow totals and meter diagnostics.

For applications requiring transmission of multiple process variables, Emerson also offers the Micro Motion Model 2500 DIN Rail transmitter (released July 2003) with additional input/output channels configurable for the application. Micro Motion flowmeters using the Micro Motion Model 1500 or 2500 transmitters can be placed in all areas of a plant, including hazardous areas.

Benefits of using the Micro Motion Model 1500 and 2500 transmitters include:
o Lower installed costs by using standard 4-wire cabling, eliminating the need to separately power the sensor, and reducing space requirements.
o Improved process performance through reduced raw material usage, reduced batch variability, improved production yield/less waste, faster material throughput and faster response time.
o Reduced downtime with higher stability, enhanced diagnostics capabilities, and loops that are easier to tune.
o Easier to use by providing an easy-to-mount and easy-to-wire package, while still maintaining the superior performance and flexibility of the MVD architecture.

The installation convenience of the Micro Motion Model 1500 MVD transmitter expands the use of accurate, precise Micro Motion Coriolis to power improved manufacturing quality by Emerson's PlantWeb digital plant architecture. Additionally, the online monitoring and diagnostics data delivered by the Micro Motion Model 1500 MVD transmitter provides predictive process and flow meter health information that PlantWeb delivers to those running the plant, enabling more efficient scheduled and proactive maintenance.
