Honeywell SmartLine pressure transmitters

Honeywell SmartLine pressure transmitters are designed to make it easier to support field devices and promote plant reliability with their efficiency-enhancing features, such as a graphic display capable of showing process data in graphical formats and communicating messages from the control room. SmartLine transmitters also feature modular components to simplify field repairs and reduce inventory required to make those repairs.

The display supports graphical process data in easy-to-read trend lines and bar graphs while also providing a platform for operator messages, comprehensive diagnostic warnings and loop status for maintenance. These capabilities are part of the transmitter’s Smart Connection Suite, and allow control room operators to send messages to the display to make it easier and faster for field operators to identify the correct transmitter and determine required maintenance tasks. When integrated with Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), the transmitter can also display its maintenance mode - telling field operators if the control loop is in a safe state to perform maintenance. Installation is made easier with the smart display - three buttons at the top of the transmitter are used with the graphic display to completely configure the transmitter with no external handheld devices required.

The modular design streamlines maintenance by allowing replacement of individual transmitter components instead of the entire unit, even in hazardous locations. This design reduces plant life cycle costs by providing purchasing flexibility, lowering inventory costs and reducing maintenance and repair work.

Other safety and efficiency features include enhanced security alerts and wiring polarity insensitivity.
