The new approach to sensor electronics
Series 2000 transmitters with FOUNDATION™ fieldbus provide all the functionality you expect from Micro Motion products, with the added benefits of a FOUNDATION fieldbus device. Series 2000 transmitters are interoperable with other FOUNDATION fieldbus instruments, reducing wiring costs by 60%, and cutting installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance time by 30 to 60%, when compared to traditional smart transmitters.

Designed for Process Control by Process Control Experts
FOUNDATION fieldbus is an all digital, serial, two-way communication protocol that interconnects field equipment such as transmitters, valves, and controllers. Fieldbus is a Local Area Network (LAN) for instruments used in process control with built-in capability to distribute the control application across the network. FOUNDATION fieldbus was designed from the ground up specifically for the process control industry by a group of process control experts. The technology is owned and maintained by the Fieldbus Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that consists of more than 100 of the world’s leading control and instrumentation suppliers and end users.

Integrate Series 2000 transmitters into the PlantWeb® architecture for superior performance

Series 2000 transmitters use PlantWeb® field-based architecture. PlantWeb is the architecture that uses the power of intelligent field devices to improve plant performance. Integrating Series 2000 transmitters with FOUNDATION fieldbus into the PlantWeb architecture yields the following advantages:

Coriolis Measurement
Connected to Micro Motion sensors with MVD™ Technology, Series 2000 transmitters provide precision fluid measurement in a wide variety of fluid applications. Outputs include mass flow, volume flow, density, and temperature measurements, in units that can be selected by the user. Series 2000 transmitters deliver real-time flow rate indication and on-line fluid density without the need for additional devices, and are fully compatible with other PlantWeb instruments.

Diagnostics

Real-time indication of instrument status allows the user to closely monitor the process and operation of the transmitter and sensor. In many cases, diagnostic messages can be used to troubleshoot the system from the control room. Series 2000 transmitters permit remote testing and configuration using the DeltaV™ Fieldbus Configuration Tool, or other FOUNDATION fieldbus-compliant hosts

Fieldbus Foundation Registration Ensures Compatibility with Foundation fieldbus Communication Protocol  
The Fieldbus Foundation logo and the accompanying registration checkmark indicate that an instrument is registered with the Fieldbus Foundation, and is fully compatible with FOUNDATION fieldbus communication protocol. Instruments from Emerson Process Management were among the world’s first to pass the Fieldbus Foundation’s interoperability tests. 

Instruments with the Fieldbus Foundation logo and the accompanying checkmark have passed a series of tests conducted by the Fieldbus Foundation at its independent laboratory, and are interoperable with other registered instruments regardless of manufacturer. The Fieldbus Foundation’s comprehensive interoperability test system, unlike tests of other control network protocols, assures end users of the ability to choose the best-in-class device for each measurement or control application without having to consider compatibility issues. Emerson Process Management has the widest offering of best-in-class FOUNDATION fieldbus-compatible instruments in the world.
