핵심적인 기술적 이점
-
Remote Installation for Demanding Environments: The 500-series transmitter is separated from the sensor, allowing it to be installed in a safe, easy-to-access location while the sensor operates in high-vibration, high-temperature, or hazardous areas. A standard cable connects the two, ensuring reliable data transmission over long distances.
-
Massive Scalability: Designed for circular piping or rectangular ventilation ducts from DN 80 to 1500 (3 to 60 inches). This makes it a cost-effective alternative to inline meters for main plant headers and large-scale flue gas monitoring.
-
High-End I/O Flexibility: The remote transmitter supports up to 4 freely configurable inputs and outputs. This allows for complex integration, enabling the device to communicate mass flow, temperature, and diagnostic status simultaneously via a wide array of fieldbus protocols.
-
Intelligent Gas Engine: Programmed with a library of 21 standard gases and capable of handling freely definable gas mixtures, the device automatically compensates for changes in gas type and process pressure/temperature, ensuring premium repeatability.
-
Bidirectional Flow Monitoring: Unlike standard thermal meters, the t-mass I 500 can detect and measure flow in both directions. This is critical for identifying process disturbances or managing complex utility balancing where reverse flow might occur.
-
Heartbeat Technology: Provides integrated, traceable verification of the flowmeter’s performance without process interruption. This self-diagnostic capability ensures measurement reliability and simplified compliance with safety and quality audits.
-
Patented SIL 2 Sensor: The drift-free sensor is designed for extreme long-term stability and is certified for use in safety-related systems (SIL 2), making it suitable for hazardous process gas applications.
