FTMg

Flow sensor with energy measurement

Your Benefits

  • Transparent compressed air consumption measurement according to DIN EN 50001
  • Complete overview of the flow, pressure and temperature of gases increases system reliability
  • IO-Link or Ethernet interfaces (REST-API, MQTT, OPC-UA) for simple system integration and data availability
  • Cos savings thanks to reduced energy consumption and increase in production efficiency
  • Intuitive parameterization using a large, contrast-rich OLED display saves time and money during commissioning
  • Only one installation and commissioning process for the collection of flow, pressure and temperature data

Overview

Flow sensor with energy measurement

The FTMg thermal flow sensor measures gas flow and temperature as well as the process pressure, making it a cost-saving multi-talent. With high measurement dynamics and low pressure loss, it measures non-corrosive gases with extreme efficiency. The contrast-rich color display enables easy operation of the FTMg and allows for representation of several measured values as a process diagram. Internal data logging over seven days and integrated static evaluation helps detect even the smallest leaks in a pneumatic systems. PoE also enables simple web-based connection to a PC or a cloud to make energy consumption more transparent. All measurement data can be transferred via IO-Link, or with switching and analog signals, or with the communication protocols REST-API, MQTT, OPC-UA.

At a glance
  • Measures compressed air and non-corrosive gases such as argon, carbon dioxide and nitrogen
  • Visualization of compressed air consumption
  • Measurement of gas flow and temperature as well as process pressure and energy consumption with only one sensor
  • Low pressure loss
  • High measurement dynamics for cylinder and leakage monitoring
