Honeywell ST 3000 PressureTransmitter

The ST 3000 transmitter

The ST 3000 transmitter line now features enhanced and advanced on-board diagnostics that simplify maintenance by automatically telling plant personnel how the devices are functioning. The new software upgrade includes diagnostics, which require no configuration, for both Foundation Fieldbus and HART 5 and 6 users. The standard HART 6 diagnostics include time-tracking functions – such as install date, calibration date, time-in-service and stress monitoring – and point value, meter body temperature and general reading functions. These functions allow plant personnel to diagnose problems from remote locations, be more aware of potential issues with individual transmitters, view a device’s history even after it has been removed from the process and conduct root-cause analysis. www.honeywell.com
