Device description
The signal processors of the FM(X)-series are used to monitor flow and tempe-
rature of fluids and gases and are designed to be used together with flow sen-
sors. All TURCK flow sensors of the series FCS-...-NA (immersion sensors) and
FCI-...-NA (inline sensors) can be operated without any limitations.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Flow sensors to be used
A complete overview of the TURCK flow sensors that can be operated with the
devices, as well as a table with combination possibilities for sensors and signal
processors can be found in the product flyer "Intelligent signal processors for
flow sensors" (D101879).
3.1
Device characteristics
For various applications, the devices are available in six versions, which differ
from each other with respect to the available output versions (PNP-transistor,
relay, and 4...20 mA current output), as well as the connection possibility for
Ex-sensors (only FMX-devices).
All devices can be operated and parametrized with pushbuttons or with soft-
ware via IO-Link or HART®. The 3.5 mm front-side jack plug COM (PC) or the
respective terminals on the signal processor are available for communication.
A connection to a IO-Link or HART®-Master is not needed to operate the device.
The Quick-Teach-Procedure is a special feature of the FM(X)-series. It enables
the switchpoint to be set quickly on devices with a switching output for flow
monitoring, without the need to teach the entire display range.
3.2
Device design
The modules are housed in the tried and tested top hat rail housing. On the
front side, there are pushbuttons for operation, as well as an LED-display for
displaying the operating status and possible errors.
