Key Benefits and Advantages
Integrated Control and Measurement By combining high-accuracy transmitter functions with PLC capabilities, the 3700 reduces the need for external controllers and secondary instrumentation. This integration allows the device to manage complex control loops and specialized calculations directly in the field, which decreases labor, maintenance, and overall plant operating costs while improving product quality.
Industry-Focused Computing Solutions The 3700 is built to handle specialized industrial challenges. It can be configured with dedicated software for Net Oil Computing (measuring water-cut in oil production), enhanced density monitoring, and custody transfer. For the maritime industry, it offers tailored marine fuel bunkering solutions that ensure accuracy and transparency during high-volume fuel transfers.
Self-Sufficient Field Configuration Designed for ease of use in remote locations, the 3700 features full on-board configuration capabilities. This eliminates the need for technicians to carry laptops or handheld communicators into the field. All settings, from calibration to complex logic parameters, can be accessed and adjusted directly through the device interface.
Large Programmable Display and Descriptive Alarms The transmitter is equipped with a large, high-contrast programmable display that provides real-time process visibility. Unlike basic transmitters, the 3700 uses descriptive alphanumeric alarms, making it significantly easier for field operators to identify, diagnose, and resolve process issues quickly.
High-Speed MVD Technology Powered by Multivariable Digital (MVD) technology, the 3700 delivers exceptionally fast response times and consistent measurement integrity. This technology filters out process noise and vibration, enabling accurate multivariable measurement of mass flow, density, and temperature even in unstable process conditions.
