Turck FS101 flow sensor

Turck has added the FS101 flow sensor to its FS+ fluid sensor range. The updated FS+ devices have a 4-digit, 12-segment display that shows the flow rate value as a percentage of the setpoint.

The IO-Link smart sensor profile simplifies replacement of IO-Link flow sensors from other manufacturers with FS+ devices as process data, parameters and functions are standardised.

The FS101 retains the Turck Quick Teach and Delta Flow functions that already simplify commissioning in the existing FS100. Delta Flow ensures that the teach-in is not performed until the warm-up phase of the temperature peak is completed and a constant flow is present. This avoids a frequent source of errors seen in traditional parameterisation processes. Users also benefit from the trouble-free operation via capacitive touchpads. Turck will continue to offer the earlier FS100 devices with a bar-graph display.

The Turck flow sensors can be used in many applications including the monitoring of flow in coolant circuits or for dry-run protection in pumps.
