ProcessMaster electromagnetic flowmeters are now available with Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer) connectivity, allowing for high-speed transmission of field data. With the ability to measure flow in any process application, these flowmeters support real-time decision-making and predictive maintenance based on real-time data. Ethernet-APL offers enhanced data rates of up to 10Mbps, shielded two-wire connection for carrying power and data safely over the same cable, and cable lengths of up to 1,000 meters. Intrinsic safety is also fully integrated, including a profile that limits supply voltage and current to eliminate the risk of sparking, enabling Ethernet-APL to be deployed in hazardous environments. The devices have an integrated web server and support various protocols such as Profinet and Modbus TCP.
