Page 21: Description
Description Overview SITRANS Coriolis flow meter systems consist of a transmitter and a sensor. The following table lists the available combinations of transmitters and sensors. Transmitter Sensor type FCT010 FCS300 DN 15 to DN 150 (0.5" to 6") System integration The FC310 flowmeter functions as a Modbus RTU slave with standard Modbus commands implemented.
Page 22 Description 3.3 Design Figure 3-2 Flowmeter – terminated cable Flowmeter design All primary process measurement of massflow, volumeflow, density and process temperature are done in FC310 transmitter. The sensor comprises two parallel bent tubes welded directly to the process connections at each end via a manifold.

Description 3.8 Modbus RTU technology ● Intelligent filtering system for aerated flow ● Unit selection of process values and totalizer Applications Measurement of liquids and gases SITRANS F C Coriolis mass flowmeters are designed for measurement of a variety of liquids and gases.
Page 25 Description 3.8 Modbus RTU technology Features The SITRANS F Modbus RTU communication complies with the Modbus Serial Line Protocol. Among other things this implies a master / slave protocol at level 2 of the OSI model. A node (the master) issues explicit commands to one of the slave nodes and processes responses. Slave nodes will not transmit data without a request from the master node, and do not communicate with other slaves.
