The various versions of the SFAM flow sensor reliably measure flow rates from 10 ... 15000 l/min and transmit the data via standardized IO-Link communication to your system's controller. A high-contrast display and new, updated control elements offer extremely convenient and reliable operation, even in industrial environments.
Compact to install
The combination with the MS6 and MS9 service units saves installation space while also reducing installation effort, with no laminar flow inlet. The SFAM is also available as a standalone device with laminar flow inlet and can be used for vertical installation.
One flow sensor for everything
The built-in pressure sensor and temperature measurement offer a wide range of options for process monitoring and control. In addition, the installation effort and costs can be minimized by eliminating the need for an additional pressure sensor. The ability to measure the gases Ar, N2,and C02 also allows you to monitor inert gas applications.
New with IO-Link® communication
All measurement data can be transferred to the control system via the IO-Link® interface. The advantages are minimal wiring effort, convenient remote parameterization and a cost-effective, standardized connecting cable.
Maximum flexibility for maximum cost efficiency
PNP or NPN? NO or NC? 0 … 10 V, 1 … 5 V or 4 … 20 mA? The SFAM can do everything in one device. The electrical outputs are switchable by means of software. This also simplifies storage, reduces costs and provides greater flexibility.
The SFAM flow sensor with a wide range of functions
- Switchable analogue outputs (4 … 20 mA / 0 … 10 V and 1 … 5 V)
- Changing colour display to visualize the switching status
- Adjustable volume pulse for measuring the consumption at control level
- Volume recorder with value memory in case the power inadvertently switches off
- Output of volume and mass flow rate as well as energy measurement in all the common units
- Security code freely selectable and adjustable (4-digit code), min/max value memory
- High accuracy, even at compressed air quality [7:4:4] to ISO 8573-1:2010
Keeping an eye on energy efficiency
With the SFAM, fluctuations and anomalies in compressed air consumption can be conveniently monitored via IO-Link®. This also allows leakages to be monitored, even in large systems with high flow rates, which reduces operating costs. The evaluation of the energy and thus the CO2 consumption can be carried out at plant level thanks to the SFAM's new output function. This contributes significantly to energy management in production.
