With Sitrans FC410, Siemens presents the lightest and most compact Coriolis flowmeter currently available, featuring a high measuring accuracy of 0.1 percent. With dimensions of only 265(L) x 280(H) x 90(B) millimeters and a weight of 4.6 kilograms in the smallest version (DN 15), the meter is ideal for machine and plant construction or for frame-mounted equipment. The combination of compact design, high accuracy, IP67 degree of protection and a wide variety of functions orients Sitrans FC410 toward use in almost any facility, even where space is very limited.

With the new Mini Flow Link (MFL) concept, Siemens has succeeded in accommodating transmitter functionalities in the sensor. The digitally based MFL permits a much more compact design without additional assembly work. Sitrans FC410 is therefore flexible enough for installation in confined spaces without any compromise in measuring accuracy or reliability. The digital MFL features a very fast signal update of 10 milliseconds and provides not only flow rate data but also the mass, volume, density, and temperature of the medium. The innovative CompactCurve design of the sensor developed by Siemens ensures a high level of reliability due to its stable zero point, low pressure loss, and high immunity to process noise and plant vibrations. Sitrans FC410 is therefore especially suitable for use in challenging applications where accuracy and reliability in measurements of density and mass are required. The flowmeter also works at pressure levels of up to 100 bar and temperatures of -50 to +200 degrees Celsius without any loss of measuring accuracy. Sitrans FC410 is certified for use in the pharmaceutical as well as food and beverage industries according to the most important standards, such as 3A, EHEDG and FDA.

Sitrans FC410 communicates with Simatic and all other common process control systems via the multidrop-addressable Modbus RTU485 and can be integrated easily into both existing and new systems.Installation and commissioning of the flowmeter require only simple, one-time configuration in the control system with little programming. If a flowmeter is replaced or further flowmeters are connected, the user's settings are automatically transferred.

FDT-21W ultrasonic flowmeter is designed to measure the fluid velocity of liquid in a full/closed pipe. It is a measurement system which is both easy to install and use. The FDT-21W operates according to the difference in the transit time of flight measured, and determines the flow velocity by measuring the travel time of a pulse from one transducer to the next. Flow in the same direction takes less time to travel to the second transducer than does flow in the opposite direction. Electroacoustic transducers receive and emit brief ultrasonic pulses through the liquid of the pipe. Transducers are vertically placed at both sides of the measured pipe. Sensors are placed on the pipe and fastened by means of a clamp. The display will quickly show the flow velocity. The FDT-21W can be used for metallic, plastic and rubber tubes.

Remote I/O, or distributed I/O, offers several advantages over the traditional local I/O found on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). First, it allows you to locate the I/O modules close to the process that is being monitored or controlled. This greatly improves noise immunity, as the weak sensor signals are converted to digital signals before being transmitted long distances through a noisy plant environment. OMEGA universal remote I/O modules use a simple 2-wire RS485 link using MODBUS RTU/ASCII protocol, which is supported by most programmable logic controllers. A second advantage is that remote I/O greatly reduces the wiring at the main control panel, saving time and money when repairs and upgrades are necessary. Adding additional sensors and control signals is as easy as connecting to the already installed RS485 link and modifying the PLC program to utilize the new I/O. In addition, remote I/O allows you to expand your process control system beyond the local I/O capabilities of your PLC. You can add thermocouple, RTD, pressure, and flow sensors to a PLC that doesn’t support these types of inputs. With remote I/O, your process application is no longer dependent on your controller choice.

The HI 6500 series are EtherNet/IP® enabled weight processors with a Rockwell Add-On-Profile (AOP). They have a big, bright multi-channel display and deliver fast, high-resolution weight readings. They also feature alternative communication options. Weight processors are used as front ends to control systems or standalone for all types of general weighing applications. Operating blind or with a display, they measure, condition and communicate weight without any need to control.

The HI 6500 was designed to provide the features you ask for most in a weight processor:

• Easy to read, mount, set-up, calibrate and maintain.

• Multi-channel display of up to four weight processors simultaneously

• Communicates over EtherNet/IP, Analog 4-20 mA (HI 6510 only), Modbus TCP and - RTU, Serial (232/485), Ethernet-UDP and TCP/IP

• Consumes 5 watts nominal and 7 watts maximum (when powering two IT junction boxes and 8 load cells)

• Operates in weight or piece count mode

• Backs up configuration to USB (auto)

• A Rockwell Add on Profile (AOP) makes setting up the HI 6500 series in RSLogix simple and easy

• Of course the HI 6500 series also has the Hardy Process Toolbox, including C2® electronic calibration, INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN® diagnostics, and WAVERSAVER® vibration immunity.
