ABB’s FSS400 Swirl and FSV400 Vortex flowmeters are now the first flowmeters on the market with FieldComm Group Ethernet-APL physical-layer certification, which ensures product quality for process instrumentation and reliable interoperability throughout industrial communication networks.
The innovative Ethernet-APL communication technology helps manufacturing companies improve operational efficiency. FieldComm Group, the global standards-based organization, awarded Ethernet-APL physical-layer conformity certification to ABB’s first and widely used vortex flowmeter (VortexMaster FSV400) and swirl flowmeter (SwirlMaster FSS400) with Ethernet-APL communication interface.
Ethernet-APL, the new member of the Ethernet family, provides full Ethernet and TCP/IP connectivity in most hazardous environments. Until now, the application of Ethernet in most process industries has remained minimal due to concerns around safety, cost and limitations on cable length that has made it difficult to establish communication networks across large industrial facilities. This new FieldComm Group certification changes all that forever.
ABB will be showcasing a selection of industry-leading innovations at WWEM and AQE. AQE will feature the ACF5000 multi-component emissions analyzer, StackMaster gas flowmeter, and the innovative HoverGuard UAV solution for airborne gas leak detection. Visit stands H10 and I10 at AQE.
