Krohne’s IFC 050 signal converter for electromagnetic flowmeters
July 2013Flow Measurement & Control
Industrial Wireless
Designed to fit any basic water or wastewater application, IFC 050 can be combined with the Optiflux and Waterflux series of electromagnetic flow sensors. Together with the Optiflux 1000, 2000 and Waterflux 3000 sensors, it can be used for raw water, potable water, wastewater and seawater applications, e.g. in water harvesting and purification plants and sewage or desalination plants. In addition, its features match metering or leak detection in water distribution networks including agriculture and utility applications such as sprinkler irrigation, cooling or fire-fighting systems.
To suit the requirements of these applications, IFC 050 outputs reach from 4-20 mA HART, an active pulse output for driving e.g. an electromechanical counter up to an RS-485 Modbus output for communication with microcontrollers and PLCs. As an option, the signal converter can be equipped with all three outputs.
The shockproof aluminium housing is finished with a protective double layer paint to withstand salty atmospheres and its electronics have an extra coating against condensed moisture for use in tropical areas. For convenient operation, IFC 050 can be ordered as wall-mounted or compact version.

Editor's Choice Flow Measurement & Control
There are many processes where it is undesirable for the load to suddenly change quickly, for example in the paper industry. Examples of level control have involved reasonably fast tuning. An example of a level loop tuned this way and responding to a step change in setpoint is given.
