Siemens Industry (Harleysville, PA)<\/a><\/strong> manufactures a broad line of instrumentation for the industrial process sphere, including solutions for flow, level, and pressure. Typical served industries include chemical, food & beverage, power & energy, mining, oil & gas, and water & wastewater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Siemens HydroRanger 200<\/a><\/strong> (pictured below) is a popular flow meter transmitter that is suitable for a broad range of open-channel water and wastewater flow metering applications. The HydroRanger features traditional 4-20 milliamp and pulse SCADA signals, as well as fieldbus protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most mains-powered process transmitters, the HydroRanger 200 does not offer native AMI\/AMR-compatibility. However, SCADAmetrics is pleased to announce that today\u2019s firmware release for the Model MBE Modbus Encodalizer\u2122<\/a><\/strong> now 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

\n\n\n\n

The following illustrates a typical application of the HydroRanger\/Encodalizer Pair<\/strong> into a potable water distribution or wastewater system \u2014 where\u00a0both<\/strong>\u00a0AMI and SCADA signaling are desired:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connection of the Encodalizer to the HydroRanger could not be easier: Two (2) wires interconnect the instruments: Modbus+<\/sup>(B) and Modbus\u2013<\/sup>(A). Configuration of the Encodalizer is also straightforward, requiring setup via 16 integral DIP switches from a lookup table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
