Endress+Hauser USA (Greenwood, IN)<\/a><\/strong> manufactures instrumentation for the industrial process sphere, including solutions for flow, level, pressure, and temperature. Typical served industries include chemical, food & beverage, life sciences, power & energy, mining, minerals, metals, oil & gas, and water & wastewater.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Endress+Hauser Promag W 400<\/a><\/strong> (pictured left) is a popular magnetic flow meter that is suitable for a broad range of water and wastewater flow metering applications. The Promag features traditional 4-20 milliamp and pulse SCADA signals, as well as the EtherNet\/IP network protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most mains-powered process magnetic flow meters, the Promag W 400 does not offer native AMI\/AMR-compatibility. However, SCADAmetrics is pleased to announce that today’s firmware release for the Model MBE Encodalizer\u2122<\/em><\/strong><\/a> adds Neptune and Sensus encoder protocols to this important flow meter, so that it may now be easily integrated into today\u2019s modern AMI\/AMR systems!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connection of the Encodalizer to the Promag could not be easier: Two (2) wires interconnect the instruments (Modbus+<\/sup> and Modbus–<\/sup>). Configuration of the Encodalizer is also straightforward, requiring setup via 16 integral DIP switches from a lookup table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMI and Ethernet-Based SCADA Solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following illustrates a typical application of the Promag\/Encodalizer pair into a potable water distribution or wastewater system \u2014 where both<\/strong> AMI and Ethernet-based SCADA signaling are desired:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ProMag 400W Without Modbus?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your ProMag 400W flow meter NOT equipped with the Modbus\/RTU factory option, but it IS equipped with a pulse output option? If yes, then you we offer another solution: The model PTE Pulse Encodalizer<\/a><\/strong>. The PTE Pulse Encodalizer accepts a dry-contact pulse-per-volume, and converts into Neptune- and Sensus-protocols. It is compatible with almost all flow meters that feature a pulse output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
