First pressure transmitters for remote commissioning of functional safety

• High accuracy and fast response time increases process efficiency
• Remote commissioning of SIL devices saves time and effort
• Maintenance costs reduced due to increased proof test interval
Siemens presents Sitrans P320/420, the first pressure transmitter on the market to feature remote safety handling reducing commissioning time in applications requiring functional safety. Via Simatic Process Device Manager (PDM) the safety integrity level (SIL) devices will be commissioned: rather than manually attending to each individual device across the facility, operators can commission transmitters from the control room.Original Article
