Pressure measurement
A heart for Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 and digitisation are often used buzzwords, also in process automation. But do they actually optimise everyday work processes? The example of pressure measurement shows why innovations such as Heartbeat Technology help plant operators to improve their productivity and plant availability.

A
re my plant and the production process running well? This question is a daily concern for persons in charge in the chemical, energy or oil and gas industries as well as
in power plants. Pressure measurement devices such as Cerabar and Deltabar from Endress+Hauser, a leading supplier of measuring and automation technology, play a vital role in control and safety applications: The transmitters determine the relative and absolute pressure as well as the differential pressure. For operations, it is essential that these transmitters fulfill their function. For this, Heartbeat Technology provides the necessary insights.
THE THrEE PILLars of HEarTBEaT TEcHnoLogy Heartbeat Technology is a digital testing concept. Endress+Hauser has developed it to enable customers to increase their plant availability while reducing maintenance efforts. The design philosophy is based on balancing measurement functionality, safety and simplicity. The concept was launched in 2013 and has already established itself for level, liquid analysis, flow, temperature and applications. With the new Cerabar and Deltabar instruments, Heartbeat Technology is available for pressure and differential pressure. It consists of three pillars: Heartbeat Diagnostics, Heartbeat Verification and Heartbeat Monitoring.
a HIgH LEvEL of DIagnosIs By DEsIgn Diagnostics forms the basis of Heartbeat Technology: The diagnostic coverage of the new Cerabar and Deltabar transmitters is more than 96 per cent. This means that the dangerous undetected failures are reduced to a
