In industrial process measurement and automation, demand is steadily rising for simple, reliable and maintenance-free measuring instruments in a pocket-sized format. The new Picomag from Endress+Hauser fulfils such requirements, making no compromises. Not only does it measure the flow of electrically conductive fluids, but also their process temperature. In addition, Picomag offers customers easy commissioning with Bluetooth using its SmartBlue App, as well as seamless system integration thanks to IO-Link technology, which makes Picomag Industrie 4.0 ready.
Whether it is for quantity measurement or process monitoring of cooling, heating or process water, due to its compact design, Picomag can be installed easily into any pipe up to 50 mm in diameter, even in confined spaces. For this purpose, there are various process connection adaptors available, such as NPT-thread, R-thread, internal thread, Tri-Clamp or Victaulic. Picomag is a cost-optimised solution for applications where the focus is on high repeatability and thus reliable measured values e.g. for correctly measuring water flows or for minimising energy costs in utility applications. It is suitable for process temperatures between –10 and 70°C and for pressures up to 16 bar.
Key features
Clear display with diagnostics field
The large and user-friendly display allows an instant local process reading of flow, temperature and total values. Errors occurring during operations, e.g. a partial pipe filling or an exceeded temperature limit, are displayed via diagnostic symbols in accordance with NAMUR recommendation NE 107. The screen rotates automatically depending on the installation position (horizontal, vertical), which guarantees optimal readability at any time. Configuration parameters can be called up and monitored by simply knocking on the device.
Wireless configuration and commissioning via Bluetooth
With Bluetooth connection, it is possible to carry out wireless configuration or data retrieval over a distance of 10 metres, even at installation sites which are difficult to access. The SmartBlue App from Endress+Hauser, which provides the user with quick and easy navigation through all device and diagnostic functions, is available for both Android and iOS.
Optimal system integration with IO-Link technology
Another highlight of the Picomag is the digital data transmission to process control systems via IO-Link technology. This communication standard has been established for 10 years and can be combined with all conventional fieldbus systems. Thus, it offers maximum flexibility of installation into existing system infrastructures. The IO-Link master as an interface allows users to have comprehensive data access through the control room. Other advantages of the IO-Link technology include the automatic transfer of parameters after a device replacement as well as low wiring effort as compared to conventional wiring.
