Mass Flow Transmitter
The NexGen® Mass Flow Transmitter interfaces with the entire family of Red Seal mass flowmeter transducers. The flowmeter transducers provides direct measurement of mass, density and temperature and calculated measurements of volume, standard volume, percent concentration/solids and concentration/solids total.
The flowmeter transducers is unmatched in terms of user-friendliness and its flexibility to interface with your control system. The integral batching function and local keypad/display allow for safe, trouble-free hazardous area batching. The microprocessor-based SFT is configurable in the field via the integral keypad/display, hand-held configurator or Nexlink™ PC software.
- Measures mass flow rate and total mass, density, temperature, standard and actual volumetric flow rate and total volume; and percent solids/ concentration and solids mass flow rate and total
- Patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology
- Value-added design allows the user to select only the necessary options
- Offers preset (two-stage) batch control in explosion-proof/flameproof area from local keypad/display
- Standard Modbus/RS485
- Diagnostic self-check capability
- Two or three analog outputs; one pulse (quadrature) output
- Accuracy, repeatability and reliability with 100:1 turndown
Design Features
The Red Seal offers the ultimate incommunications flexibility, with three design levels that offer only the features that you need for your application:
- Blind transmitter: Two analog/one pulse output and the RS485 option
- Digital communications: Modbus
- Local interface: Either of the first two levels with a local keypad and display The local interface configuration allows you to safely perform all programming functions in a hazardous area, including batching, from the keypad without external modules.
Regardless of how your application needs may change over time, you will never outgrow the SFT 100’s versatile communications capabilities. Communications options may be added at any time without the trouble and cost of installing external modules or accessories
