September 20, 2019 – Brooks Instrument, a provider of flow, pressure, vacuum and level solutions, has added the EtherNet/IP digital communications interface to its SLAMf Series mass flow controller (MFC) family of products.
The addition makes the SLAMf Series an MFC from a U.S. supplier with NEMA 4X/IP66- rating and integrated EtherNet/IP communications as standard features. Therefore, this product series is a choice for the biotechnology and food and beverage industries, where hose-down/wash-down requirements are present.
A specially engineered NEMA 4X/IP66-rated hardened enclosure protects the SLAMf’s advanced digital electronics and ensures stable, accurate measurement, process accuracy and control of process-critical gas and liquid mass flows.
Integrating the high-speed digital EtherNet/IP interface into the SLAMf Series MFC platform increases the controller’s functionality by helping OEMs and end-users to leverage real-time process data with digital communications. In addition, the SLAMf device offers a thermal flow measurement sensor and diagnostics.
