Flow Measurement & Control


Optimised flow measurement of water and wastewater

October 2013 Flow Measurement & Control

Topics such as integration, remote control and intelligent data management are becoming increasingly important in industry. The precise volume measurement of the water is critical to process control and optimisation, and also billing. This is the world of Proline Promag 400, combining industry-optimised design with experience and innovation. Compliance with guidelines for custody transfer (OIML R49 and MI-001) and the providing of industry-relevant drinking water approvals are certainties.

Ingenious device configuration and verification:

* Advanced web server technology for time-saving operation without additional software.

* Easy upload and download parameters for data backup and fast commissioning of multiple identical measuring points.

* Automatic data storage (HistoROM) with trend analysis and process control ensures fast data restoring device for servicing and allows for easy electronic exchange without recalibration.

Maximum transparency at measuring points

New far-reaching self-diagnostic functions provide more safety. The traceability of measurement results is based on traceable verification concepts. Additional features are permanent fault detection and clear fault categorisation for specific maintenance activities.

Outputs compatible with HART, Profibus DP and EtherNetIP, provide seamless integration of Promag 400 into existing process control systems:

* Compatible software driver available at all times.

* Life cycle management through the proven W@M information system for design, maintenance and service.

Permanently resistant

Promag 400 is durable and guarantees reliable measurement operation even under extreme conditions. Even copes with permanent use underwater or in the ground and also in highly variable climatic conditions without additional protective measures:

* Certified corrosion protection (EN ISO 12944).

* Rugged, fully welded sensor and IP68 protection.

* Corrosion-resistant junction box with multiple seal design.
