Elite line of Coriolis meters without incurring the cost of adding more power or installing new cabling, Emerson said.

“This is a product we’re very excited about,” said Micro Motion President Tom Moser, in reference to the company’s new two-wire Micro Motion 2200S transmitter. “The two-wire technology is really the next step in our goal to be one of the technology leaders and technology pioneers in the Coriolis field.” The 2200S becomes an important part of Micro Motion’s Elite sensor platform, Moser said. The 2200S “is not intended as a replacement for four-wire technology, but really to expand the use of Coriolis to more applications in the plant,” Moser added.

At the press conference, Tom O’Banion, Micro Motion director of global chemical industry marketing, discussed the experience of Momentive Chemical, a $2.4 billion company that was a beta customer for the two-wire 2200S. “We were all stunned at how simple and easy the installation was,” said O’Banion, noting that the unit was up and running in less than an hour. The two-wire capability of the device enabled Momentive to save eight hours of power wiring and an estimated $1,500 in cost for conduit and cable, O’Banion added.
