For almost 40 years, Endress+Hauser has been able to offer one of the world’s most comprehensive product ranges for flow measurement of liquids, gases and steam. The Proline family of measuring devices has contributed significantly to this success and is now once again wowing users with unique innovations for even greater safety, product quality and process availability.
In all industries, the requirements surrounding safety, legal standards, efficiency and quality are always on the rise. In addition, process systems operators must also deal with increasing costs and pressure from competitors. Last but not least, emerging opportunities for digital interconnectivity through ‘Industry 4.0’ are gaining significance within process automation.
With numerous innovative functions and device properties, the new Proline 300 and Proline 500 make universal flow measurement possible in all applications in the process industry – from quantity measurement and process monitoring, right up to monitoring tasks and custody transfer measurements. Proline 300/500 not only measures the flow in pipes with the greatest accuracy but it also provides a view into the process, ensuring that plant operators receive a wealth of important diagnostic and process data. This leads to optimal process monitoring, fewer periods of downtime and therefore more efficient process control.
Added value thanks to information from the field Proline 300/500 is equipped with unrivalled functions that supply the user with comprehensive process information. It is not only possible to retrieve device diagnostics, service or process data via the control room, but this is now also on site thanks to a web server integrated into the measuring device. This allows for direct connection to a laptop without the need for additional software or hardware.
Comprehensive remote data retrieval is also possible via the installed wireless connection. In combination with the unique data storage concept known as HistoROM, which automatically restores the configuration data of a measuring device following a service call, this simplifies future service and maintenance.
Proline 300/500 has been developed entirely in accordance with SIL guidelines (IEC 61508) and thus guarantees the greatest safety during operation. The warning messages displayed in the event of an error in accordance with
NAMUR NE107 also contribute to operational safety, as these indicate immediately if a device is defective, requires maintenance or is running outside the predefined specifications.
Multivariable and high-quality sensors
Since 1993, the Proline device family has been subject to constant development. As a state-of-the-art transmitter, Proline 300/500 can be freely combined with any of the Promass (Coriolis) and Promag (electromagnetic) sensors, which have proven themselves time and again. Depending on the measuring principle, several process variables can be measured at the same time using only one device. With the Coriolis flow measuring principle these include mass flow, volume flow, density, concentration, viscosity or temperature; the electromagnetic measuring principle focuses on volume flow, temperature, and electrical conductivity.
Every Proline 300/500 measuring device is checked using accredited, fully traceable calibration facilities before delivery (ISO/IEC 17025). This is unparalleled around the globe and guarantees the same high level of measurement quality no matter where the production site is located. The robust design of all Endress+Hauser sensors also guarantees optimum measurement performance, even under highly fluctuating process conditions.
Looking to the future with Proline
Proline 300/500 has a unique range of signal outputs and protocols: HART, PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus RS485, EtherNet/IP and PROFINET. This ensures that you can integrate Endress+Hauser flowmeters seamlessly into your existing infrastructures or automation systems. Thanks to the transparent flow of diagnostics and measurement data – from the sensor to the process control system – unimagined possibilities are now becoming reality, ensuring safe and comprehensive process control.
