Verification can be scheduled to run on any recurring daily, weekly or monthly schedule.
The Meter Verification Snap-On application can be launched from AMS Device Manager at any time, while the meter is full or empty, flowing or not-flowing.
The application checks and captures device configuration and zero calibration level, as well as sensor structure, electronics and signal processing for a complete verification of meter performance.
This real-time, on-demand assessment takes under five minutes to perform.
The Meter Verification Snap-On application communicates with Micro Motion Elite series flowmeters using the HART communication protocol over existing 4-20 mA signal cabling.
Emerson Micro Motion Elite Coriolis meters with meter verification technology deliver full health data faster and easier than traditional verification methods.
Operators and plant engineers can perform the test in less than five minutes without stopping the process or purchasing and installing secondary references.
If customers can predict when a flowmeter will need to be repaired, re-calibrated or replaced, they can move their maintenance activities from a reactive to a proactive mode, reducing downtime, increasing plant safety and improving product quality.
The Emerson meter verification capability is only available on the Micro Motion Elite flowmeter with next generation MVD technology.
Micro Motion is the Coriolis leader in quality, measurement performance, and reliability, and is part of the Emerson broad range of intelligent, digital field devices that power PlantWeb digital plant architecture.
Further cost savings, increased plant availability, and enhanced safety and environmental compliance are achieved when the flowmeters are integrated into the PlantWeb digital plant architecture. Request a free brochure from Emerson Process Management ...
