In addition to supporting the widely adopted FDI standard for configuration, the devices are easily configurable with the integrated web interface \u2013 no tools, drivers, or specialized software are required. The screen layout is responsive, adapting automatically to computer screens, tablets, and smart phones.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With the ability to measure volumetric, mass and energy flow, as well as process temperature, the swirl and vortex flowmeters with Ethernet-APL open new possibilities for operators to make operational decisions and carry out predictive maintenance based on real-time data, thus significantly reducing potential errors and downtime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By enabling fast access to an expanded array of process and device data, Ethernet-APL also offers benefits for plant operators facing the challenge of gathering data from potentially hundreds or even thousands of devices when combined with ABB\u2019s Ability\u2122 SmartMaster suite. SmartMaster is an asset performance management platform that enables fast troubleshooting, remote diagnostics, non-invasive process analytics, and many other possibilities by combining operational data, engineering data, and IT services. ABB plans to integrate Ethernet-APL technology into all its instruments and is already in the process of doing so.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<p>[1] ABB.
