What is a Rosemount Transmitter?

In industrial process control, a "Rosemount Transmitter" is any device which converts measurements from a sensor into a signal, conditions it, to be received, usually sent via wires, by some display or control device located a distance away. Typically in process control applications the "transmitter" will output an analog 4-20 mA current loop or digital protocol to represent a measured variable within a range. For example, a pressure transmitter might use 4 mA as a representation for 50 psig of pressure and 20 mA as 1000 psig of pressure and any value in between proportionately ranged between 50 and 1000 psig. (A 0-4 mA signal indicates a system error.) Older technology transmitters used pneumatic pressure typically ranged between 3 to 15 psig (20 to 100 kPa) to represent a process variable.

Rosemount Engineering Company was founded in 1956 as a supplier of precision products for the aerospace industry. The company quickly grew with the success and expansion of the U.S. space program and continued to apply the same rigid standards that aided NASA’s success to the development of breakthrough products for the process industries.

In 1976, Emerson acquired Rosemount and set in motion a plan to build the world’s largest instrumentation and control system company through internal research and development efforts and strategic acquisitions. Rosemount technologies became a cornerstone of this strategy. Today, Rosemount expertise and best-in-class technologies from Emerson Process Management play a key role in Emerson’s combining of superior products and technology with industry-specific engineering, consulting, project management and maintenance services.
