PICOMAG DMA Electromagnetic Flowmeter Overview
PICOMAG DMA is an economical smart electromagnetic flowmeter launched by Endress+Hauser (E+H), specifically designed for utilities and general water treatment applications. It supports intuitive operation via mobile phones and tablets, features multivariable measurement capability, and can output 4-20mA remote transmission signals. For integrators supporting the IO-Link protocol, this instrument provides a more convenient digital integration experience.
Core Functions and Advantages
Operation and Display
- Mobile Operation: Parameter setting and diagnostics can be completed via mobile phone or tablet without a dedicated handheld terminal.
- Intuitive Interface: Graphical menu guidance reduces on-site commissioning difficulty.
Measurement and Output
- Multivariable Measurement: Real-time flow, totalized flow, and switching output all in one device.
- 4-20mA Remote Transmission: Compatible with traditional control systems, easy to connect to PLC or DCS.
- Optional IO-Link: Integrators supporting the IO-Link protocol can enjoy more efficient parameter configuration and data exchange.
Technical Parameters and Selection
Nominal Diameter Specifications
PICOMAG DMA is available in only four nominal diameters, covering scenarios from micro flow to medium flow:
| Nominal Diameter | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| DN15 | Laboratory, small equipment |
| DN20 | Small water treatment, dosing systems |
| DN25 | Utility branch pipes |
| DN50 | General water treatment main pipes |
Selection Recommendations
- Confirm the pipe diameter and flow range, and select the corresponding DN specification.
- Based on control system requirements, decide whether to enable 4-20mA or IO-Link output.
- Consider installation space; the DMA is compact and suitable for integration inside equipment or in tight spaces.
Typical Application Scenarios
- Utilities: Flow monitoring of cooling water, softened water, fire water, etc.
- General Water Treatment: Process control for filtration, reverse osmosis, dosing, etc.
- Equipment Integration: Embedding flow measurement in OEM equipment, saving space and cost.
As E+H's cheapest electromagnetic flowmeter, PICOMAG DMA significantly reduces procurement and maintenance costs while ensuring basic measurement accuracy, making it an ideal choice for engineering technicians and procurement personnel.
