ABB ProcessMaster FEW630 electromagnetic flowmeters

Available at the end of 2024, the ABB ProcessMaster FEW630 is an easy-to-use electromagnetic flowmeter for municipal and industrial water and wastewater flow measurement. ABB says it is designed to simplify the selection, operation, maintenance and servicing of its electromagnetic flowmeters in response to the evolving needs of the water and wastewater industry.

The ProcessMaster FEW630 utilises a modular design that can be tailored to meet a range of specific requirements in municipal and industrial applications. Long-lasting, industry-specific wetted part materials offer resistance against abrasion and corrosion, prolonging sensor service life and enabling minimal maintenance in applications such as potable water, wastewater, sewage, sludge, thickened sludge, influent and effluent.

The instrument has been designed to be as easy as possible to install, use and maintain. The device features standardised configuration and operating procedures and clear text displays that enable parameters to be easily set, adjusted and checked. Setting up and commissioning the flowmeter is made easy by built-in smart sensor technology. On initial installation, the flowmeter performs a self‐configuration, automatically replicating all data from the Sensor-Application-Memory into the transmitter.

Wiring up the flowmeter is also simplified by a four-conductor sensor cable. Easy and quick to connect, it uses colour coding to eliminate the risk of wiring errors.

Continuous self-monitoring of the sensor and transmitter and real-time diagnostic functions checking the transmitter, sensor and wiring enable quick and easy troubleshooting. Other functions include a built-in noise and grounding check that verifies the installation is correct.
