Endress+Hauser flowmeters perform self-verification using a technology called Heartbeat Technology. Heartbeat Technology is a built-in diagnostic function that continuously monitors the performance of the flowmeter and provides alerts if any problems are detected.
The self-verification process typically includes the following steps:
- The flowmeter measures the flow rate of a liquid or gas.
- The flowmeter compares the measured flow rate to a known reference value.
- If the measured flow rate is within the specified tolerance, the flowmeter is considered to be operating within its normal range.
- If the measured flow rate is outside the specified tolerance, the flowmeter will generate an alarm or error message.
The self-verification process is typically performed every few minutes or hours, depending on the application. The frequency of the self-verification process can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the application.
Heartbeat Technology is a valuable tool for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of Endress+Hauser flowmeters. It can help to prevent costly downtime and production losses.
Here are some of the benefits of using Heartbeat Technology:
- Increased accuracy and reliability: Heartbeat Technology helps to ensure that the flowmeter is operating within its normal range and providing accurate measurements.
- Early warning of problems: Heartbeat Technology can detect problems early on, before they cause major disruptions. This can help to prevent costly downtime and production losses.
- Reduced maintenance costs: Heartbeat Technology can help to reduce maintenance costs by preventing unnecessary repairs.
- Improved documentation: Heartbeat Technology provides detailed documentation of the flowmeter’s performance, which can be used to troubleshoot problems and improve efficiency.
If you are looking for a reliable and accurate flowmeter that can help to improve your plant’s performance, Endress+Hauser flowmeters with Heartbeat Technology are a great option.
