Smart Flow Instruments Streamline Operation And Maintenance Tasks

The Proline 300/500 family of industry optimized “smart” Coriolis mass and electromagnetic flow instruments promise to simplify installation, speed commissioning, and streamline both operation and maintenance activities. Flowmeters are available in 11 models ranging in sizes from 1/24 to 14 inches in diameter for measuring flows up to 100,000 tons per day. Proline Promag flowmeters are available in three models in sizes from 1/12 to 78 inches for volume flows up to 634 million gallons per day. Both types are available in models suitable for high temperatures, corrosive fluids, hygienic and sterile process applications.

Proline instruments connect to control systems via 4-20mA HART, WirelessHART, PROFIBUS PA/DP, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus, EtherNet/IP or PROFINET. Both families provide access to users via the device’s display, a web server, a wireless LAN, handheld devices, asset management or process automation solutions, and Fieldbus protocol.

Both families have robust transmitter housings available in aluminum, hygienic or severe service stainless steel. Each housing has a two-chamber system with a front-mounted compartment for connecting source power, wiring the analog and/or digital inputs and outputs, and accessing the Ethernet service access port or device display. The second chamber permits service technicians to access the electronics modules for repair functions while maintaining protection against dust and contamination.
