Endress+Hauser has introduced the Proline 300/500 generation of flowmeters, which combines Proline sensors with state-of-the-art transmitter technology.

Proline 300/500 allows universal flow metering in all applications in the process industry — from quantity measurement and process monitoring to custody transfer applications. Proline also provides a view into the process, ensuring that plant operators receive a wealth of important diagnostic and process data.

Proline 300/500 transmitters can be combined with any of the Promass and Promag sensors. Several process variables can therefore be measured simultaneously using only one device — for example mass flow, volume flow, density, concentration, viscosity and temperature (Coriolis); or volume flow, temperature and conductivity (electromagnetic). Each device is checked using accredited and traceable calibration facilities (ISO/IEC 17025).

Proline 300/500 supplies the customer with a maximum amount of process information. It is not only possible to retrieve device, diagnostics, service or process data via the control room, but now also on site thanks to an integrated web server that allows for direct connection to a laptop. Comprehensive remote data retrieval is also possible via the installed wireless WLAN — a global innovation that will simplify future service and maintenance.

Additionally, Heartbeat Technology is integrated into all Proline devices. This checking function enables permanent self-diagnosis, along with a certified and metrologically traceable verification during operation. The operator does not need to be present in the field, since verification can be started at any time via all available interfaces. This makes it possible, for example, to extend application-specific calibration intervals, thus saving time and money.

Proline 300/500 has a range of signal outputs and protocols: HART, PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION fieldbus, Modbus RS485, Ethernet/IP and PROFINET. This ensures that all Endress+Hauser flowmeters can be integrated into existing automation systems.
