The Asset Management System (AMS) device driver for the model M-Series MR analog liquid-level sensor allows easier access to internal data registers and provides control of all devices on the network using advanced automation software. The software enables the MR sensors to communicate directly with the control system by transforming the liquid-level data, as well as various other internal data registers, into a format that can be interpreted by the controller. Asset management systems are designed to collect data from the MR sensor, organize the data for various maintenance functions, and monitor the health of the sensor so action can be taken before there is a serious breakdown in the system. This results in reduced plant commission and loop maintenance costs, and decreased process downtime.
