Emerson has introduced its next-generation Rosemount 3490 Controller for level and flow measurement applications, which helps to reduce complexity, optimize processes and enhance sustainability. Designed to maximize ease-of-use, the controller provides comprehensive control functionality for 4-20 mA or Hart compatible transmitters and is an ideal solution for water, wastewater and process industry applications, shares the company.

The Rosemount 3490 is the first controller to feature simple-to-programme configuration wizard guides to help users set up the controller, making this procedure significantly less complex and time-consuming, adds the firm. Further enhancing usability, the controller has a modern, intuitive graphical interface, an easy-to-navigate menu structure, and a backlit 4.3-inch colour LCD display, which simplifies ongoing operation and device status readings.

Combining the controller with Emerson’s non-contacting radar Rosemount 1208C Level and Flow Transmitter enables organizations to achieve accurate and reliable measurements with simple configuration over Hart. This helps them to optimize operational efficiency across a broad range of water and wastewater applications, including the automatic control of up to six pumps, filtration operations, sludge handling, and flow in open channels, flumes and weirs. The robust design of the controller and transmitter makes them ideal for use in the harsh environments typically encountered in these applications, mentions the company.

Supporting increased sustainability, the accuracy of the level and flow measurements helps to prevent overfills and water wastage. To help ensure compliance with industry directives and regulations, the controller simplifies report and documentation handling. It enables a variety of flow measurements to be totalized, differentials to be calculated, and data to be easily logged and shared with regulatory authorities through a web interface via Ethernet connectivity.

In designing the Rosemount 3490, the focus was firmly on outstanding usability and creating a controller for flow and level measurement applications that is as easy to set up and operate as possible. The Rosemount 3490 Controller and Rosemount 1208C Level and Flow Transmitter together form a cost-effective, dedicated solution for water and wastewater applications that not only helps organizations to reduce downtime and costs but also safeguards water safety and quality, explains the firm.
