Turck is expanding its FS+ fluid sensor series with the introduction of the FS501 flow sensor, which is designed to meet the need for new-generation automation solutions that deliver more than just a single measured value.
The robust IP67-rated FS501 device is designed for pipe diameters from 15 to 250 mm and can be used across a broad range of applications. It can be used to measure both flow velocity and volume flow while providing temperature values.
Users can configure switching and analog outputs, while the sensor’s Smart Sensor Profile is designed to ensure straightforward integration and seamless connectivity into IO-Link environments.
A further benefit of the Smart Sensor Profile is that it provides users with direct access to process data and advanced functions such as ‘Single Value Teach’ — which stores the current flow velocity as a switching point — as well as ‘Dynamic Teach’ and a ‘Totaliser’, which allow operators to respond faster to process changes and capture consumption data directly at the sensor level.
The integrated intelligence of the sensor is designed to reduce engineering effort while improving operational visibility.
The Totaliser function can also be used to determine machine consumption data directly within the sensor, supporting more transparent resource monitoring and enabling predictive maintenance strategies in automated production environments.
