SITRANS FCT030
Process Instrumentation
Coriolis Mass Flow Transmitter
Based on patented digital signal processing technology, the SITRANS FCT030 Coriolis transmitter delivers true multi-parameter measurements with enhanced efficiency, security and simplicity. It features a modular design for convenient installation and replacement, and can be remote- or compact-mounted with the entire SITRANS FC sensor range, offering a uniform transmitter interface across the Siemens Coriolis portfolio.
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
Simulation of process values
Intelligent filtering system for aerated flow
