Endress+Hauser, Connect Your Pressure Measurement to the Future
Improved process safety and productivity with the Cerabar and Deltabar. Endress+Hauser Cerabar and Deltabar pressure gauges, thanks to their Bluetooth interface, they are easier to operate and more efficient to maintain in safety-critical systems.
The high level of safety combined with enhanced productivity follows the Endress+Hauser smart safety approach to increase plant availability. Heartbeat Technology creates the basis
for predictive maintenance and allows the devices’ functionality to be verified without process interruption.
There are various reasons why ease of operation is a major advantage. Many industries are struggling with an increasing lack of qualified personnel. Major plant revisions often involve service providers whose personnel do not have a thorough knowledge of the equipment and systems on site.
The amount of safetyrelated equipment has also increased significantly in recent years, for example in the chemical industry, and with it the number of costly proof tests of the safety
integrity level (SIL).

Easy Operation Increases Productivity
To meet all these developments, Endress+Hauser has simplified the new Cerabar and Deltabar pressure measurement line. This is reflected in its intuitive operation via the SmartBlue app, which includes guided operating sequences for parameterization and commissioning of the pressure sensor. This is made possible by an additional Bluetooth interface, which bridges distances of up to 25 m.
Thus, even measuring points that are difficult to reach or in hazardous areas are easy to maintain, even if they are only integrated into the process via a 4–20mA interface. The employee does not have to open the housing or connect a cable.
Real-time data from the pressure transmitter is available at any time. The Bluetooth connection has a special protocol that meets the increased safety requirements in industrial applications. The Fraunhofer Institute AISEC tested the interface for its level of protection
and rated it “high” for protocol and algorithm.
Unlock Your IIoT Potential
The NAMUR roadmap “Process-Sensors 4.0” names three key criteria for digital process sensors: wireless communication, sensor diagnosis and the provision of information about the sensor and the process.
With the optionally available Bluetooth® and Heartbeat
Technology functions, the new Cerabar and Deltabar product lines meet these criteria. For example, Heartbeat Technology supports maintenance staff in verifying their measuring points.
This can be done via a Bluetooth connection and at the touch of a button with the SmartBlue app. The verification can be carried out in less than 3 minutes without process interruption. A verification protocol, which provides detailed information about all tests, is generated automatically. The basis for this is the continuous self-diagnostic function of the pressure transmitters.
It achieves a diagnostic coverage rate of over 95 percent. With this information, it is possible to plan system revisions and maintenance work for measuring devices in advance and reduce downtimes. This significantly simplifies maintenance processes.
Heartbeat Technology gives users the scope they need to optimize their production processes through data-based insights into the process.
It provides transparency about the condition of the measuring devices and the process. But Heartbeat Technology can do even more. It also detects irregularities in the process, for example deviations in the loop resistance, which in turn indicate a defective cable. Blocked impulse lines, e.g. due to crystallized medium, are detected by differential pressure transmitters. This data provides the basis for predictive maintenance.
Improve Your Process Safety
Guided operating sequences support employees during the commissioning of measuring points and during SIL proof tests. They show the operator what to do, step by step. This prevents operating errors, so-called systematic errors, and increases safety.
At the same time, these tasks can be completed more quickly, as there is no need to consult the safety manual. The new color display also provides safety at first glance. In the event of an error, it switches from green to red and thus provides a quick overview.
The new Cerabar and Deltabar devices feature proven, reliable and robust sensor technology and a smart safety concept. Our new pressure measurement technology features self-explanatory and efficient operating concepts that prevent systematic errors during device parameterization.
They maintain the high safety level of the system and at the same time reduce maintenance costs – during commissioning as well as repair.
