Datasheet F-201CS
> Introduction
Bronkhorst High-Tech model F-201CS Mass Flow Controllers (MFCs) are suited for precise control of virtually all conventional process gases. The MFC consists of a thermal mass flow sensor, a precise control valve and digital electronics with signal processing, PID control and optional fieldbus conversion. Additionally, the F-201CS features an integrated, electrical shut-off valve. As a function of a setpoint value, the flow controller swiftly adjusts the desired flow rate. The mass flow, expressed in normal litres or millilitres per minute or per hour, is provided as analog signal or digitally via RS232 or fieldbus. The flow range, wetted materials and orifice size for the control valve are determined depending of the type of gas and the process conditions of the application.

The heart of the thermal mass flow meter/controller is the sensor, that consists of a stainless steel capillary tube with resistance thermometer elements. A part of the gas flows through this bypass sensor, and is warmed up heating elements. Consequently the measured temperatures T1 and T2 drift apart. The temperature difference is directly proportional to mass flow through the sensor. In the main channel Bronkhorst High-Tech applies a patented laminar flow element consisting of a stack of stainless steel discs with precisionetched flow channels. Thanks to the perfect flow-split the sensor output is proportional to the total mass flow rate.
Todays EL-FLOW series are equipped with a digital pc-board, offering high accuracy, excellent temperature stability and fast response (settling times t98 down to 500 msec). The basic digital pc-board contains all of the general functions needed for measurement and control. In addition to the standard RS232 output the instruments also offer analog I/O. Furthermore, an integrated interface board provides DeviceNet, PROFIBUS DP, ModbusRTU/ASCII, EtherCAT or FLOW-BUS protocols.

Note: For switching the shut-off valve by fieldbus, Bronkhorst offers various solutions: using a split-cable or alternatively a shut-off control adapter with holding voltage principle. Please consult factory or contact your local distributor.
