Emerson launches multi-parameter liquid analyser with the
industry’s first high-resolution colour screen
Rosemount® Analytical Model 56 dual-input analyser features advanced control
capabilities and a user-friendly interface that reduce the complexity of liquid analytical
measurement
Emerson Process Management has released the Rosemount® Analytical Model 56, an
advanced dual-input liquid analyser with the industry’s first high-resolution colour screen.
The Model 56 features extensive full-colour trend graphics, advanced control capabilities,
a high capacity data logger and audit trail event logger, and digital communications.
“These capabilities make the Model 56 appropriate for power, water treatment,
pharmaceutical and food processing applications that require liquid analytical
measurements and need advanced control capabilities,” said Dave Anderson, Marketing
Director, Emerson Process Management, Rosemount Analytical. “Specific applications
that would benefit from the advanced capabilities include, cooling towers in the power
industry, reverse osmosis in the water treatment industry, wastewater treatment in the
drinking water industry, clean-in-place in the food processing industry and many others.”
Anderson continued, “The Model 56 provides an ease-of-use that hasn’t been possible
until now. At the device and in the control room, the analyser delivers extensive
information about the process and its own functioning that is vital to operational decisions.
Evaluation sites are already telling us that the Model 56 is going to make their life easier
based on ease-of-use testimonials.”
Notable features of the new Model 56 include a high-resolution, full-colour screen with
highly readable process measurement data, detailed user instructions, on-screen
diagnostics and trouble-shooting information and full-colour data trend graphics.

A data and event logging capability provides extensive on-board data storage that
captures measurement data for both channels every 30 seconds for 30 days, allowing onscreen trend display or download to a USB memory device. Up to 300 events are stored
with real time/date stamps, including start-up times, calibrations, configuration changes,
alarms, power interruptions, faults and more. The Model 56 also features a 12-key
alphanumeric keypad to support calibration, programming and tag entries.
Four independent 4-20 mA outputs can be configured for measurements or proportional,
integral, derivative (PID) control. Four relays are provided with discrete capability
including concentration control using high/low concentration alarms, relay timers or time
proportional control, event-based activation using bleed and feed, or totaliser-based
activation and time-based activation using an interval timer or two-week date-and-time
timer.
To transmit data to the plant’s PLCs, SCADA or DCS systems, the Model 56 is supplied
with either HART® or PROFIBUS DP digital communications. HART communications
versions 5 and 7 protocols are standard on all configurations. HART can also be easily
commissioned onto a WirelessHART® network using the Smart Wireless THUM Adaptor,
enabling wireless transmission of process variables and diagnostics from hard-to-reach
locations.
The modular design of the Model 56 allows the addition of a measurement channel on
single input units and reconfiguration of field units with easy wiring and fast start-up.
Quick Start programming screens automatically recognise each measurement input type
and prompts the user to configure each sensor loop in just a few quick steps for fast
commissioning.
The measurement capabilities of the new Rosemount Analytical Model 56 analyser
include single or dual-measurement of pH, ORP, ISE (Ion-Selective Electrodes),
resistivity/conductivity, per cent concentration, total chlorine, free chlorine,
monochloramine, dissolved oxygen, gaseous oxygen, dissolved ozone, turbidity, pulse
flow and temperature, and accepts and scales 4-20mA current input(s) from any device,
powered or unpowered.
