The IFC 100 electromagnetic signal converter combines an attractive price with a wide range of features and benefits including an excellent measuring accuracy. The signal converter is compatible with almost any flow sensor in the OPTIFLUX and WATERFLUX range.

The signal converter converter supplies the current required by two field coils to generate a magnetic field. It converts the flow proportional signal voltage into digital values and filters out noise and interference signals. From the filtered signal, the flow velocity, the volume flow and the mass flow are calculated.
The IFC 100 signal converter provides a large variety of flowmeter and process diagnostic functions guaranteeing reliable measurements. Detection of deposits or coating on the electrodes, temperature and conductivity changes in the medium, gas bubbles or solids, and an empty pipe are good examples of process diagnostics functions.

The flow velocity and volume can be read from the display or in analogue form via the current output (4...20 mA) as well as by frequency, pulse and status outputs. Measuring values and diagnostic information can be transmitted via interfaces including HART®, RS485 Modbus, Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus.

Highlights
