Hygienic flow meter SM Foodmag for the food industry (Display)

In the food and beverage industry, strict hygiene standards and harsh operating conditions are essential to ensure product quality and consumer safety. The sensors used must be able to withstand a wide range of media, high temperatures and temperature fluctuations as well as frequent cleaning cycles, in order to ensure smooth operation and reliable processes.
Discover the new SM Foodmag flow meter that has been specially developed for the food industry.

Connection concept

• Only one cable required: power supply and outputs are combined
• The M12 connection is located on the back of the device and is freely accessible.
• The pre-wired M12 connector prevents wiring errors on the device side.
• The M12 connection in combination with ifm’s own connection cables prevents moisture from entering the electronics housing.

Mechanical design

• Thanks to its compact housing design, the SM Foodmag can also be used in confined spaces.
• The weight-reduced electronics housing increases vibration and shock resistance.
• The electronics are always protected. It is not necessary to open the housing.

Indication

• The generously sized 3.5’ display is easy to read even from a distance and allows simultaneous visualisation of up to four measured values. The 360° LED ring also provides a visual indication of the sensor’s operating status.
• Easy-to-use capacitive pushbuttons that work reliably even in wet environments and when operated with gloves.
• An installation guide and an app-based menu structure increase user-friendliness during programming.

Industrial communication

• IO-Link offers the advantage that 4 to 8 devices can be integrated per IO-Link master and IP handling is drastically reduced. Only one IP address must be used per IO-Link master.

Sensor functions

• In addition to the replacement value, the user also receives an indication via the operating status LED in the error state. The sensor also stores up to 200 results. The last 20 events can be called up via the display. In addition, all saved events can be viewed via moneo.
• The applied voltage and the analogue value (in mA) of the output can be read via the detailed process value view. No manual measurement is required.
• An overview of the set parameters is available in the service menu. You can choose between "show all parameters" or "only adjusted parameters". These overviews can also be downloaded via moneo.
