VPFLOWSCOPE M
Your next step in gas flow measurement
 The Internet of Things / industry 4.0 is rapidly transforming our world. Production becomes
smart, intelligent and autonomous. Production lines will make their own decisions and
human intervention will only be needed when things go wrong.

 VPFLOWSCOPE M
√ Three in one flow meter
√ For compressed air and technical gases
√ Patented VPSensorCartridge®: no more recalibration required
√ Optional direction measurement
√ Ethernet interface: Industry 4.0/ IOT ready
√ Ultra compact size and low weight

The next step in flow measurement

The VPFlowScope M is a three in one insertion flow meter for compressed

air and technical gases. It can be installed under pressure and measures
flow, pressure and temperature simultaneously. With the introduction of
the VPFlowScope M, recalibration becomes history.

Unlike traditional flow meters, the VPFlowScope M does not require traditional recalibration­,
where you have to ship the unit back. Instead, the VPFlowScope M consists of a transmitter
and the patented VPSensorCartridge® which reduces recalibration to a simple exchange.

Applications:
›› Compressed air audits
›› Nitrogen and technical gas flow measurement
›› Cost allocation
›› Leak detection
›› Pipe network optimization
›› Permanent monitoring

 Industry 4.0 ready

With its standard internal Ethernet interface, the VPFlowScope M will

connect directly to your network and forms seamlessly one of the
cornerstones of any real-time energy management platform. But it is also
compatible to the traditional world, thanks to the standard 4 ... 20mA
signals and RS485 interface.

Features:
›› Ethernet (Modbus/ TCP)
›› RS485 (Modbus RTU)
›› 4 ... 20 mA linearized, alarm or pulse output
›› USB interface for configuration and downloading of data log files
›› Optional TFT color display
›› Optional Data logger with more than 6 months
@ 1 second interval + cyclic recording

Many possibilities
Thanks to the versatile IO, the
VPFlowScope M transmitter
can be connected to both the
traditional 4 … 20 mA, RS485
Modbus RTU, and modern Ethernet
based systems. The transmitter
is available in three versions.

 Limitless data logging

The optional data logger is the biggest and most flexible integrated data
logger you will find on the market today. It can store multiple log sessions,
in total over 6 months of flow, pressure, temperature and totalizer data at a
resolution of 1 x per second. But that’s not all. The new cyclic logging mode
makes your data logger a limitless ‘black box’. It will run forever. Just enable
cyclic logging mode, and you are done!

Features and benefits

›› More than 6 months @ 1x per second memory capacity
›› Optimized data structure enables fast downloading
›› Multi-session logging
›› Cyclic mode for permanent logging of data
›› Project based data filing in VPStudio 2.0

supply impedance, which are temperature dependent, will cause permanent and transient voltage drops. These voltage drops have to be
