mag-flux M1

Magnetic-inductive measuring transducer with synchronised d.c. field

The mag-flux M1 measuring transducer was developed specifically for use with the magnetic-inductive mag-flux-series flow sensors. With an optionally available operating module and a local display, the measuring transducer is easy to adapt to customer requirements.

The mag-flux M1 is a microprocessor-controlled, programmable measuring transducer and can be adapted to the user requirements. While the fundamental configuration, e.g. sensor calibration with parameterisation of these values in the measuring transducer is performed in the plant, the customer can make further settings and required changes at any time. The measuring transducer records and processes the measurement signals from the corresponding mag-flux-series magnetic-inductive sensor. It is suitable for medium flow speeds up to 10 m/s.

The mag-flux M1 measuring transducer is available in both separate and compact designs. This applies in particular when combined with the mag-flux A.
The mag-flux M1 is designed with communication capabilities. With an optionally available additional module, it can also be used with the HART® protocol.

Password protection to prevent unauthorised access
Multilingual user interface

How the mag-flux M1 measuring transducer works:

The flow measurement principle is based on Faraday´s law of electromagnetic induction, in which the sensor converts the flow into an electrical voltage proportional to the flow speed.

The mag-flux M1 absorbs and processes the electrical voltage, and converts it into analogue and digital output values.

A control unit is available as an option. In addition to a local display, it allows customers to configure the measuring transducer based on their requirements. The mag-flux M1 is designed with communication capabilities. With an optional add-on module, it is also suitable for use with the HART® protocol.
