Honeywell introduces new range of SmartLine Products

Honeywell Process Solutions has launched its new range of SmartLine industrial temperature transmitters, which improve overall plant and employee efficiency even in harsh and noisy process environments.

This new product line is part of Honeywell’s SmartLine field instrument product family, the industry’s first modular and most reliable transmitter family currently available for pressure measurement.

“The SmartLine temperature transmitter is based on the same proven platform as our current SmartLine pressure transmitter. They provide our customers with better performance, unique features that lower their total cost of ownership, and the best integration capabilities available when used with our Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS). SmartLine helps reduce project costs and start-up time, avoid unplanned downtime, improve product quality, and shorten time to repair,” said Don Maness, Vice-President & General Manager, Field Products, Honeywell Process Solutions.

SmartLine temperature transmitters lower plant lifecycle costs by making it easier to maintain field devices with their unique efficiency-enhancing features such as an advanced graphic display capable of showing process data in graphical formats and communicating messages from the control room.  In addition, all SmartLine transmitters, whether they measure pressure or temperature, utilize modular components which simplify field repairs and reduce the parts inventory required to make those repairs. These parts can be easily upgraded and even exchanged between the two different product lines.
Employee efficiency features include wiring polarity insensitivity and local configuration capabilities. Unlike most other transmitters, SmartLine transmitters cannot be damaged by reversed loop wiring polarity and will function correctly if reverse connected. This protection significantly helps during a plant start-up, when time can be wasted locating and repairing incorrectly wired devices. In addition, an advanced display and local configuration provides capabilities for field operators to configure the device in the field, solve problems and avoid errors with no need for a handheld device.

Honeywell’s unique Smart Connection Suite control system integration delivers transmitter messaging, maintenance mode indication and tamper alerts to improve field time to repair and control room communication, avoid unit trips and make employees more efficient.
