Winning Combination - Flow sensor for industrial application

Accurate measurement is important for all industrial process applications. The ability to measure, monitor and alter fluid and gas flow is essential to maintain quality and safety. 

This reference design takes into account the need to provide active measurements and a communication interface feedback loop using an Ethernet connection. Safety Integration Level 2 (SIL2) can also be met as the RX MCU is supported by Functional Safety Platform Software which has been certified by TÜV. Meaning this package can support safety functions and diagnosis to meet the SIL2  standard.

Key Features:

• SIL compliance by TÜV for the MCUs
• Ease of use - the RX130 offers different integrated peripherals to support SIL compliance.
• Supports MEMS solid-state gas flow sensor  for accurate measurements

Applications:

• Factory automation
• Building automation
