Flow Measurement
SITRANS F M
Transmitter TRANSMAG 2 with sensor 911/E
3/104
Siemens FI 01 · 2014
■
Overview
SITRANS F M TRANSMAG 2 with the SITRANS FM 911/E sensor
is a pulsed alternating field magnetic flowmeter where the mag-
netic field strength is much higher than conventional DC pulsed
magnetic flowmeters.
■
Benefits
• Wide range of sizes DN 15 to DN 1000 (½" to 40")
• Broad range of liner and electrode materials for extreme pro-
cess medias
• Fully welded construction provides a ruggedness that suits
the toughest applications and environments.
• Automatic reading of SmartPLUG for easy commissioning
• Simple menu operation with two-line display
• Comprehensiv self-diagnostic with selfmonitoring and internal
simulation
■
Application
The main applications of the SITRANS F M transmitter
TRANSMAG 2 can be found in the following sectors:
• Pulp and Paper industry
• Mining industry
The patented pulse alternating field technology is ideal for diffi-
cult applications like:
• High concentrated paper stock > 3 %
• Heavy mining slurries
• Mining slurries with magnetic particles.
• Low conductive medias

S/cm (0.1
S/cm depending on
medium)
■
Design
• Available for remote mounting
• PROFIBUS PA (profile 2.0) / HART communication
• Analog output and digital outputs for pulses, device status,
limits, flow direction, frequency output
■
Mode of operation
The flow measuring principle is based on Faraday’s law of elec-
tromagnetic induction according to which the sensor converts
the flow into an electrical voltage proportional to the velocity of
the flow.
■
Function
The TRANSMAG 2 is a microprocessor-based transmitter with a
build-in alphanumeric display in several languages. The trans-
mitters evaluate the signals from the associated electromagnetic
sensors and also fulfil the task of a power supply unit which pro-
vides the magnet coils with a constant current.
The magnetic flux density in the sensor is additionally monitored
by reference coils.
Further information on connection, mode of operation and instal-
lation can be found in the data sheets for the sensors.
Displays and keypad
Operation of the transmitter can be carried out using:
• Keypad and display unit
• HART communicator
• PC/laptop and SIMATIC PDM software via HART communica-
tion
