A flow sensor with plain text display
The FS101 flow sensor (photo) is the latest member of this company’s FS+ fluid sensor family. The new FS+ devices have the same look and feel and are therefore just as easy to run and commission as all other sensors in the family. The four-digit, 12-segment display on the devices shows the current flow value clearly as a percentage of the setpoint. The implemented IO-Link smart sensor profile simplifies the conversion of the IO-Link flow sensors of other manufacturers to FS+ devices, since process data, parameters and functions are standardized. The sensors can be used, for example, to monitor flows in coolant circuits or for dry-run protection in pumps. The FS101 retains the two unique Quick Teach and Delta Flow functions that already simplified commissioning in the FS100 with a bar-graph display. — Hans Turck GmbH & Co.
