Description

3.1

System components

A SITRANS F M MAG 5000/6000 flowmeter system includes:
● Transmitter (type SITRANS F M MAG 5000/6000)
● Sensor (types: SITRANS F MAG 1100/1100F/3100/3100 P/5100 W)
● Communication module (optional) (types: HART, PROFIBUS PA/DP, MODBUS RTU RS
485, Foundation Fieldbus H1, Devicenet)
● SENSORPROM memory unit
Communication solutions
The SITRANS F USM II range of add on modules, presently including HART, Foundation
Fieldbus. MODBUS RTU RS 485, PROFIBUS PA / DP and Devicenet, are all applicable with
the SITRANS F M MAG 6000 transmitter.
3.2

Operating principle

The transmitters are microprocessor-based with a built-in alphanumeric display in several
languages. The flow measuring principle is based on Faraday's law of electromagnetic
induction. Magnet coils mounted diametrically on the measuring pipe generate a pulsed
electromagnetic field. The liquid flowing through this electromagnetic field induces a voltage.
The transmitters evaluate the signals from the associated electromagnetic sensors, convert the
signals into appropriate standard signals such as 4 to 20 mA, and also fulfil the task of a power
supply unit providing the magnet coils with a constant current.
The transmitter consists of a number of function blocks which convert the sensor voltage into
flow readings.
3.3

Applications

The pulsed DC-powered magnetic flowmeters are suitable for measuring the flow of almost all
electrically conductive liquids, pastes, and slurries with max. 40% solids.
The main applications can be found in the following sectors:
● Water and waste water
● Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
● Food & beverage industry
● Mining and cements industries
● Pulp and paper industry
