Description
The Modbus communication and isolated analog and pulse output signals make the B-Connected flow rate indicator / totalizer a dedicated flow transmitter for connection to an automation network or PLC. The display shows flow rate, total and accumulated total. The scaled pulse output re-transmits the accumulated total. The analog output re-transmits the flow rate. On-screen engineering units are easily configured from a comprehensive selection.
Advantages
- Basic flow measurement where re-transmission of the flow rate and/or totalizer functions or serial communication is required.
- The B-Series is our most cost effective display but with all the benefits you may expect from a Fluidwell product: It’s durable, reliable and very easy to operate. Basic with a capital B!
- Familiar easy operation with the Fluidwell “Know one, know them all” configuration structure, saving time, cost and aggravation.
Product specifications
Signal Inputs
Flowmeter Inputs
- Basic types of flowmeter signals: Namur, Reed-switch, NPN, PNP and Sine wave (coil).
Signal Outputs
Pulse outputs
- Function: Isolated, scaled pulse output according to accumulated total (e.g. a pulse every 3.25 gallons).
Frequency: User definable: Off, Long (5Hz/100msec), Intermediate (33Hz/15ms). - Type: One isolated solid state output.
- Function: Isolated, scaled pulse output according to accumulated total (e.g. a pulse every 3.25 gallons).
Alarm outputs
- None.
Analog outputs
- Function: Re-transmitting the flow rate – the output can be scaled to any range (e.g. 200 L/min to 1200 L/min).
