The Rosemount Model 3144P Smart Temperature Transmitter is a
microprocessor-based instrument that accepts input from a wide variety of
sensors and transmits temperature data to a control system or transmitter
interface. The transmitter combines Rosemount reliability with the flexibility of
digital electronics. The transmitter is ideal for applications that require high
performance and/or remote communication.
The Rosemount Model 275 HART
HART protocol to interrogate, configure, test, and format the Model 3144P
transmitter as well as other Rosemount microprocessor based instruments.
Communication can be made with the transmitter from the control room,
transmitter site, or across any other two points in the loop provided the loop
contains 250 to 1100 ohms of resistance.
Special dual-sensor features include Hot Backup
good, differential and average temperature measurements, and four
simultaneous measurement variable outputs in addition to the analog
output signal.
Replacement transmitters may contain revised software that is not fully
compatible with the existing software in your HART communicator.
Model 275 HART Communicators containing device descriptors for the
Models 3144 and 3244MV before December 2001 do not fully support the
new features of the Model 3144P. The HART Communicator Field Device
Revisions Dev v3, DD v2 should be loaded into the Model 275 HART
Communicator to communicate with the new features of the Model 3144P
(see "Model 3144P and Models 3144 / 3244MV Differences" on page 1-3).
The Device Descriptors (DD v2) are available with new communicators or can
be loaded into existing communicators at any Rosemount Service Center.
See Section 3: Commissioning for more information concerning device
revisions.
