SITRANS FCT010
Process Instrumentation
Coriolis Mass Flow Transmitter
The SITRANS FCT010 is a very small yet powerful Coriolis flow transmitter, developed especially for direct digital integration into process automation systems. Its compact design, without display, combined with its capability for digital output signals make it a perfect choice for skids and other applications where space is limited. The SITRANS FCT010 transmitter delivers true multi-parameter measurements (i.e. mass flow, density and temperature) based on advanced digital signal processing technology, bringing you very fast and accurate measurements.
The SITRANS FCT010 Coriolis transmitter is based on the latest developments within digital signal processing technology. It is engineered for high measuring performance, including:
Fast response to step changes in flow
Measurement of fast dosing applications
Measurement of entrained gas
High immunity against process noise
High turndown
Easy to install commission and maintain
Installation is quick and easy thanks to simplified hardware and cabling. The SITRANS FCT010 uses multidrop-addressable Modbus RTU RS485, a highly time-efficient communication protocol that is easy to program and diagnose. Its fully configurable byte order supports all PLC types with no additional ordering options necessary.
In order to make a complete flowmeter system, the SITRANS FCT010 transmitter must be combined with the SITRANS FCS400, MASS 2100 DI 1.5, MASS 2100 DI 3-15 or FC300 sensors.
Features
High update rate (100 Hz) on all process values
Process noise damping using digital signal processing (DSP)
Empty pipe monitoring
