Meriam Process Technologies Introduces The Next Generation Device Management System Software And Precision Instruments For Pressure, Flow, And Level — Offers ROI Within The First Year Of Implementation

Productivity increases when you can predict and prevent the failure of certain devices within your plant environment before they become too costly and time-consuming to repair or replace. Meriam Process Technologies introduces the next generation Device Management Solutions (DMS) software and the company’s latest MFT 4000 and MFC 4100 HART® Communicators, technology designed to maximize your return on asset management investment.

The new Device Management System software is a full feature software tool for calibration and configuration management of smart and conventional field devices. Electronic documentation of calibration and configuration activity is achieved through the tightly integrated interface between DMS and the MFT 4000 Series Calibrator/Hart Communicator and MFC 4100 Hart Communicator.

DMS provides user-friendly navigation and organization of field devices, scheduling of calibration procedures, and storage of smart field device configuration data. The calibration management features are extended to the Calibration/Configuration equipment as well. Calibration and configuration change reporting, certificates, and device history are standard features in DMS.

MFT 4000 and MFC4100 are handheld devices that communicate with the DMS software providing precise calibration, configuration and secure electronic documentation.

MFT 4000 is a breakthrough combination calibrator/digital communicator that delivers the versatility of a modular calibrator and the convenience of HART communications in one handheld unit. The MFT provides flexibility and versatility in a NIST traceable calibrator that is currently not available to the market. Hot swappable sensor module options cover a wide range of pressure, temperature, voltage and current measurement requirements.

The MFC is a full function HART Communicator supporting Universal, Common Practice and Device Specific commands for total control of commissioning, configuration and maintenance operations.

Meriam’s complete line of compatible software and hand-held instruments offers the resources needed to keep your operation running smoothly with minimal downtime. Implementation of the technologies results in a demonstrable ROI within the first year. The reliability and user-friendly design of our products, coupled with ongoing training and support, make technicians more productive and allows them to dedicate more time to other plant activities.
