SITRANS FMT020 –- Electromagnetic Flow Transmitter

Why SITRANS FMT020?

SITRANS FMT020 is the next-generation successor to the MAG 5000/6000 transmitter series, providing a future-ready platform for modernization and new projects. It pairs with SITRANS sensors such as SITRANS FMS500 for water and wastewater, SITRANS FMS300 for general process applications, and SITRANS FMS100 for demanding environments requiring high corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance.

Key benefits

Modernize existing installations with ease

As the successor to SITRANS MAG 5000 and MAG 6000 transmitters, SITRANS FMT020 supports smooth upgrades for both compact and remote mounting with modular and easy-to-replace electronics.

Detect issues, prevent downtime

Simultaneous measurement of flow, velocity and conductivity, plus empty-pipe monitoring, device self-check and verification support, help operators act early and reduce service effort.

Integrate easily into digital plants

Plug-and-play communication modules and multifunction I/O make the transmitter easy to connect to control systems using HART, PROFINET, Profibus DP/PA, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus RTU architectures.

Featured capabilities

Three layers for peace of mind

Integrated diagnostics and self-verification continuously check device health, while SITRANS Verificator enables external verification with traceable reporting. Results are available via SIMATIC PDM and SITRANS mobile IQ.

Easy programming with a local display

A large, rotatable, backlit 14-digit graphical display provides excellent visibility in all mounting positions. Configure and commission easily using capacitive touch keys with an intuitive menu and wizard in 20+ languages.

Ready for harsh sites conditions

Its robust enclosure is rated IP66/67 and NEMA 4X/6, with high UV resistance and operation from –40 to 65°C.

Sustainable design

Meeting the criteria of the Siemens EcoTech label for SITRANS FM320 and FM520, the SITRANS FMT020 supports lower lifecycle impact with up to 15% lower energy use, recyclable packaging, firmware updates and repairability.

Flexible mounting and modular service

One housing concept supports compact and remote installation, simplifying engineering and spare-parts handling. Plug-and-play communication modules and SENSORPROM enable quick replacement and fast transfer of device settings.
