KROHNE has announced that all of its OPTIMASS Coriolis flowmeters are equipped with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
This allows device commissioning, verification, diagnostics, and monitoring from a smartphone or tablet via secure wireless communication, in conjunction with the OPTICHECK Flow Mobile app (available for iOS and Android).
OPTIMASS with BLE are currently the only SIL certified mass flowmeters on the market allowing Bluetooth communication.
The BLE option can either be ordered as an option with new devices or retrofitted depending on the hardware revision of the converter. It allows for wireless operation over distances of up to 20 m/ 65 ft, e.g. for devices installed in inaccessible locations. Use in Ex Zone 1 is possible with suitable mobile devices.
The BLE option is available for Europe, approvals for USA, Canada, China and others are pending.
