SITRANS FMT020

Overview

The SITRANS FMT020 is the next-generation electromagnetic flow transmitter, developed as a successor to the MAG 5000 and MAG 6000 series. It retains key advantages from its predecessors, such as:

• Flexible installation, supporting both compact and remote mounting using identical enclosures

• Modular architecture with easy replacement of the transmitter, communication modules, and SENSORPROM memory

• Fast startup, instantaneous measurement, and quick data logging

In addition to those features, FMT020 introduces several major upgrades:

• Simultaneous measurement of volumetric flow, flow velocity, and conductivity

• Enhanced diagnostics including empty pipe detection and self-check functionality

• Multifunction I/O channels for advanced process control

• Unified operator interface with wizard-assisted configuration

Key Features

• High measurement accuracy up to ±0.2% of flow rate

• Three totalizers for forward flow, reverse flow, and net total

• Multilingual interface with guided menu navigation

• Supports major industrial communication protocols: HART, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, MODBUS RTU

• Integrated device verification via SIMATIC PDM and Webserver

• Configuration possible via local HMI or remote access through Fieldbus/Webserver

• Compatible with device management platforms such as SIMATIC PDM, AMS Device Manager, AMS Trex, and DTM/FDT

Notable Characteristics

• Backward-compatible with MAG 5100W sensors from the past 15 years

• Zero-point calibration not required at startup

• Extensive internal diagnostics and device verification functions

• Compatible with the Verificator tool for independent performance verification of sensor, transmitter, and cabling—without interrupting the process

• User-friendly 4-button HMI, menu-driven interface with wizard-based setup

• Multifunctional outputs for control: analog, digital (pulse, frequency, status), and relay

• Supports SD memory card for data logging, configuration backup, and firmware updates

• Easily integrates into field device management systems

Application Areas

The SITRANS FMT020 is designed for high performance, quick deployment, and minimal maintenance. It is suitable for general-purpose flow applications as well as specialized environments where advanced diagnostics and control functions are required.

The transmitter can be paired with the SITRANS FMS500 electromagnetic flow sensor.

SITRANS FMS500 (Paired Sensor)

The SITRANS FMS500 is a robust electromagnetic flow sensor developed specifically for water and wastewater applications. Its conical design enhances accuracy at low flow rates, making it ideal for leak detection. It supports buried installation and operation under continuous submersion and is certified for potable water use.

• Measurement accuracy: ±0.4% of flow (optional ±0.2%)

• Size range: DN 15 to DN 1200 (½” to 48”)
