An Overview of Rosemount 2088 Absolute and Gage
Pressure Transmitters

• As the name suggests, these pressure transmitters
  are used to measure absolute and gage pressures
  in various industrial applications. These
  pressure transmitters have gained immense
  popularity in the industry, owing to their
  following beneficial features
• The Pressure transmitters are equipped with a
  Local Operator Interface (LOI), which has
  built-in configuration buttons as well as
  easy-to-use menus.
• The transmitter can be easily configured using
  the LOI, and requires no complicated tools for
  operation.
• It is available with a choice of remote seals and
  manifolds.
• The transmitters are available with protocols
  including 420 mA HART as well as 15 Vdc HART
  Low Power.
• The LCD display is fully configurable and it
  gives an outlook on the process variable, range
  percentage, and displays diagnostic messages
  effectively.

A Discussion on Rosemount 3051 Transmitters

• Rosemount 3051 transmitters are industry-proven
  for their capabilities, and are widely utilized
  for pressure, level, and flow measurements.
• This family comprises
• 3051S Series Smart Pressure Transmitters
• 3051TG Gauge Pressure Transmitters
• 3051C Coplanar Pressure Transmitters, and so on.
• Beneficial Features of these Transmitters
• These transmitters are equipped with power
  advisory diagnostics, which helps users easily
  understand the health of the device. It gives
  insights into the power supply and transmitter
  wiring health.
• Power advisory diagnostics is designed to monitor
  the electric loop and the impactful changes that
  may affect the integrity of the output. This
  feature also helps detect some potential issues
  which may be hidden from the process manager. Due
  to these reasons, it is widely used in process
  industries, where accuracy is the main concern.

A Discussion on Rosemount 3051 Transmitters
(contd.)

• Like Rosemount 2088, these transmitters also have
  LOI, which is developed according to the
  principles of Human-Centered Design. LOI
  comprises built-in configuration buttons, which
  enable easy commissioning. With this feature, the
  transmitters can be easily commissioned in any
  environment.
• Rosemount 3051 transmitters are wireless capable.
  With this technology, you can easily add various
  new flow, pressure, and level measurement points
  within the facility. They are especially perfect
  for areas, where human intervention may not be
  always possible. Gaining insights from the
  transmitter will help you boost your process
  efficiencies as well as reduce the exposure of
  personnel in hazardous environments.
• Wireless technology also helps asset monitoring
  through the operation and it preserves I/O space
  efficiently.
• The pressure transmitters can be availed in
  polished steel and aluminum housing, which makes
  them an ideal hygienic application.

• The selection will entirely depend on your
  application requirements. The following tips will
  help you with the selection

Rosemount 2088 Rosemount 3051
Rosemount 2088 pressure transmitters are ideal for measuring the level or pressure of industrial gases and liquids. Rosemount 3051 series pressure transmitters are expensive but assure excellent accuracy over the 2088 ones.
Rosemount 2088 is an ideal choice if your application doesnt require high accuracy. It is a highly reliable transmitter in a compact package. Rosemount 3051 pressure transmitters can be used to measure differential pressure, whereas 2088 is not suitable for the same. 3051 transmitters are also ideal for flow and level measurement applications.
