Send flow rate and temperature measurements simultaneously to a programmable logic controller (PLC), data logger, or other receiving device. Used to monitor status or control equipment, these transmitters, also known as transducers, convert measurements to an electrical signal that is interpreted by receiving devices. As flow or temperature increases, the output signal increases. For your receiving device to interpret the signal, you will need to calibrate it for the measurement range and output signal of the transmitter. They only give accurate readings within the rated measurement range. Mount them inline with your pipe system. They’ll measure flow correctly in any mounting orientation.

A digital display makes it easy to view readings and adjust settings at the source. To change settings and receive error messages remotely from your PLC or computer, program one of the outputs to use IO Link. You’ll need an IO Link controller (not included) to connect to your interface.

Vortex Flow Measurement—Vortex transmitters determine the flow rate by measuring the size of the vortex created as liquid flows through them. They don’t have any moving parts that can break or get stuck. Use them only with liquids that are at least 95% water. They have one analog output for flow and another for temperature. The output for temperature can also be wired for IO Link.
