New features expand diagnostic coverage beyond transmitter electronics to identify and prevent abnormal process and installation issues. The new Power Advisory Diagnostic helps ensure the integrity of the electrical loop by detecting unwanted changing electrical conditions, such as water in the terminal housing, ground loop issues, corrosion of terminals or an unstable power supply. The Advanced Hart Diagnostics Suite also includes Statistical Process Monitoring technology, to measure and analyze previously unseen process noise, providing intelligent process insight. This is said to produce a significant expansion in the range of process diagnostic applications, such as detection of furnace flame instability, incipient distillation column flooding and valve or pump cavitation.
