The world's first Coriolis mass flowmeter for EtherNet/IP, the Promass 83 measures mass flow, density and viscosity. The device is also capable of measuring gasses. The EtherNet/IP interface gives users direct access to device data without additional configuration or programming. For the end user, the primary advantage will be simplicity and speed of integration. Some protocols require additional remote I/O devices and a separate fieldbus protocol to handle communications; with this new device variant, these are now unnecessary.
