Clamp-on Flow Sensor Main Unit 40A/50A FD-Q series FD-Q50C AL712322 IO-Link Keyence
Install to the FD-Q Series at a location where the inside the measuring pipe is always filled with the fluid. When the fluid contains bubbles, detection performance of the FD-Q may be affected. When installing the FD-Q FD-Q50C AL712322 IO-Link Keyence
Keyence FD-Q Series FD-Q50C AL712322:
- Flow Measurement Principle: The FD-Q50C is based on ultrasonic transit-time technology, which measures the time it takes for ultrasonic signals to travel between transducers installed on the outside of a pipe. By comparing upstream and downstream travel times, the sensor calculates the flow velocity and volume.
- Clamp-On Design: The sensor is designed to be clamped onto the exterior of a pipe, eliminating the need for pipe modification or interruption of flow. This non-intrusive installation method is suitable for a wide range of pipe sizes and materials.
- Pipe Size Compatibility: The FD-Q50C is compatible with pipe sizes ranging from 40A (40 mm or approximately 1.57 inches) to 50A (50 mm or approximately 1.97 inches) in diameter.
- Measurement Features:
- Accuracy: Provides accurate flow measurement for various liquids, including water, chemicals, and other conductive fluids.
- Wide Measurement Range: Capable of measuring both forward and reverse flow rates with high accuracy.
- Temperature Compensation: Includes temperature sensors to compensate for changes in fluid temperature, ensuring accurate flow readings.
- No Moving Parts: The sensor has no moving parts, reducing maintenance requirements and risk of mechanical failure.
- Communication Protocol: The FD-Q50C AL712322 model supports IO-Link communication, allowing for digital data exchange with compatible IO-Link master devices or controllers.
- Installation and Configuration:
- The sensor is installed by clamping it onto the pipe surface without cutting into the pipe.
- Configuration settings and calibration can be performed using IO-Link communication or directly on the sensor’s built-in display interface.
- Application Areas:
- Industrial Process Monitoring: Such as water treatment, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing for monitoring and controlling flow rates.
- Energy Management: Supports energy efficiency initiatives by providing accurate flow data for optimizing HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems and cooling circuits.
- Facility Management: Enables real-time monitoring of fluid flow in pipes without disrupting operations.
Benefits:
- Accurate and Reliable Measurements: Provides precise flow data even in challenging industrial environments.
- Remote Monitoring and Control: IO-Link compatibility allows for seamless integration into digital control systems for advanced monitoring and control capabilities.
The Keyence FD-Q series FD-Q50C AL712322 clamp-on flow sensor offers a practical and efficient solution for flow measurement applications where non-invasive installation and accurate readings are essential. Its compatibility with IO-Link communication enhances flexibility and connectivity within industrial automation systems.
