Emerson has introduced Rosemount 2405 Monitoring Hub which is a simple yet powerful device that delivers full inventory control and monitoring of multiple storage tanks.

Emerson has announced the release of the Rosemount 2405 Monitoring Hub, a simple yet powerful device that delivers full inventory control and monitoring of multiple storage tanks. The Rosemount 2405 is designed to simplify tank monitoring system architecture, enabling organizations to automate applications previously deemed too complex or costly. The insights provided by the hub help to optimize inventory management, leading to improved decision-making, increased operational efficiency and reduced costs, shares the company.

Many organizations within the chemical, refining, oil and gas, metals and mining, and food and beverage industries still rely on manual inventory checks and lack the capability to implement an automated tank monitoring system. This can be compounded by the complexity and cost of integrating system components such as a display, a communication unit and a data concentrator. By integrating these three components into a single device, the Rosemount 2405 simplifies system architecture, making it easier and less costly to upgrade to an automated solution, adds the firm.

This simplified system architecture is supported by the ability to connect up to eight Hart-enabled level, pressure or temperature transmitters to the Rosemount 2405. The hub then collects, calculates, visualizes and communicates the measurement data for centralized monitoring and inventory management. Digital Hart multidrop connectivity allows multiple field instruments to connect to the Rosemount 2405 over a single twisted-pair cable. This significantly reduces wiring infrastructure complexity and costs by minimizing the need for additional cables, junction boxes, and input channels.

In alignment with Emerson’s Boundless Automation vision for data mobility, the Rosemount 2405 offers seamless integration with the Rosemount Tankmaster and Tankmaster Mobile inventory management platforms, and reliable connectivity with third-party host systems. The hub provides flexible access to the inventory data, which can be viewed either locally in the field, or via a web browser. Digital Hart connectivity enables real-time transmission of device diagnostics and status information alongside process variables, supporting proactive maintenance, states the company.

With an intuitive display and step-by-step guidance, the Rosemount 2405 makes it easier to configure the multiple connected measurement devices, while further minimizing complexity by reducing the training required and the time involved in setting up a tank monitoring system. The user-friendly interface also simplifies troubleshooting when issues arise, enabling faster resolution and reduced downtime and costs.

Reliable access to real-time operational data through intuitive, intelligent interfaces is now an expectation in the process industries, explains the firm. Easy-to-deploy automated tank monitoring, enabled by the Rosemount 2405, allows operators to quickly view, interpret and act upon critical information. This supports improved decision-making and leads to more efficient inventory management and reduced costs, concludes the company.
