ABB ProcessMaster FEP300 Electromagnetic flowmeter functions

Advanced diagnostic functions

Using its advanced diagnostic functions, the device monitors

both its own operability and the process.

Limit values for the diagnostic parameters can be set locally.

When these limits are exceeded, an alarm is tripped.

For further analysis, the diagnostic data can be read out via

an advanced DTM. Critical states can, thus, be recognized

early and appropriate measures can be taken.

As a result, productivity is increased and downtimes are

avoided. The status messages are classified in accordance

with the NAMUR recommendations.

In the event of an error, a diagnostic-dependent help text

appears on the display which considerably simplifies and

accelerates the troubleshooting procedure. The gives

maximum safety for the process.

Flow performance

Using a higher excitation frequency for the transmitter,

ProcessMaster is a flowmeter with an especially short

response time. With its advanced filtering methods, the device

improves accuracy even under difficult conditions by

separating the noise from the measuring signal. This leads to

a maximum measuring error of 0.2 % of rate. Self-cleaning,

double-sealed polished measuring electrodes enhance the

device's reliability and performance.

Easy and quick commissioning

Advanced data storage inside the sensor eliminates the need

to match sensor and transmitter in the field. The on-board

sensor memory automatically identifies the transmitter. On

power-on, the transmitter self-configuration function is run and

replicates all sensor data and TAG specific parameters into

the transmitter. This eliminates the opportunity for errors and

leads to an increased startup speed and reliability.

Intuitive, convenient navigation

The factory-set parameters can be modified quickly and easily

via the user-friendly display and the non-contact buttons,

without opening the housing.

The "Easy Set-up" function reliably guides unpracticed users

through the menu step by step.

The softkey-based functionality makes handling a breeze - it's

just like using a cell phone. During the configuration, the

permissible range of each parameter is indicated on the

display and invalid entries are rejected.

Universal transmitter - powerful and flexible

The backlit display can be easily rotated without the need for

any tools. The contrast is adjustable and the display fully

configurable. The character size, number of lines and display

resolution (number of decimals) can be set as required. In

multiplex operation, several different display options can be

pre-configured and invoked one after the other.

The smart modular design of the transmitter unit allows for

easy disassembly without the need to unscrew cables or

unplug connectors.

Whether count pulses, 20 mA signals or the status output are

active or passive, the universal transmitter always delivers the

correct signal. HART is used as the standard protocol.

Optionally, the transmitter is available with PROFIBUS PA or

FOUNDATION Fieldbus communication.

The universal transmitter simplifies the spare parts inventory

and reduces the stockholding costs.
