IFM SM6000 Magnetic-Inductive Flow Meter 0.1-25 L/min 4-20mA PNP/NPN

Overview
The IFM SM6000 (SMR12GGXFRKG/US‑100) is a high‑precision magnetic‑inductive flow meter designed for accurate measurement of flow rate, consumption, and medium temperature in conductive liquids. Based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, this meter delivers exceptional measurement dynamics with a wide measuring range of 0.1…25 l/min (0.005…1.5 m³/h) for water‑based and conductive media with a minimum conductivity of ≥ 20 µS/cm.

The device features a 4‑digit LED display for clear, real‑time indication of actual values, complemented by intuitive push‑button operation or remote parameterisation via IO‑Link. It provides a total of three configurable outputs: two digital switching outputs (PNP/NPN, NO/NC programmable) and one scalable analogue output (4…20 mA or 0…10 V), with an additional pulse output for totaliser functionality. Housed in a stainless steel (316L) body with gold‑plated contacts, the SM6000 is built for industrial environments and supports media temperatures from -10…70 °C and system pressures up to 16 bar. Its IP67 protection rating and adherence to EN 61000‑6‑2/‑6‑4 standards make it suitable for demanding applications such as coolant monitoring in welding equipment, hydraulic systems, and general process control.

Key Features

• Original brand new, within warranty period – Factory‑sealed, genuine IFM component with full manufacturer warranty.

• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee – Risk‑free purchase; if you are not completely satisfied, we will replace or refund.

• Magnetic‑inductive (Faraday) measuring principle – Contact‑free measurement of volumetric flow rate in conductive liquids, unaffected by pressure, density, temperature, or viscosity variations within the specified limits.

• Wide measuring range with high accuracy – Covers 0.1…25 l/min (0.005…1.5 m³/h) with a resolution of 0.02 l/min and accuracy of ±(0.8 % MW + 0.5 % MEW), enabling precise flow control even at low rates.

• Integrated temperature measurement – Continuously monitors medium temperature from -20…80 °C (display range) with a resolution of 0.2 °C, allowing combined flow and temperature diagnostics from a single device.

• Three configurable outputs (2x digital + 1x analogue) – Two PNP/NPN switching outputs (200 mA each, programmable as NO/NC) and one scalable analogue output (4…20 mA or 0…10 V) provide maximum flexibility for integration into PLCs, SCADA, or standalone controllers.

• Built‑in totaliser and pulse output – Integrated consumption counter (totaliser) with pulse output (0.00001…30 000 m³ per pulse, pulse length 0.01…2 s) enables accurate batch control and consumption monitoring.

• IO‑Link V1.1 communication – IO‑Link interface (COM2, 38.4 kBaud) with a minimum cycle time of 2.3 ms enables remote parameterisation, process data readout (flow rate, totalised consumption, temperature), and extended diagnostics, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance.

• 4‑digit LED display with intuitive push‑button operation – Clearly visible 4‑digit LED display shows current flow rate or temperature, and allows on‑site parameterisation (switch points, analogue scaling, pulse value, etc.) without external tools.

• Robust stainless steel housing with IP67 rating – 316L stainless steel wetted parts and gold‑plated contacts resist corrosion, while the IP67 enclosure ensures reliable operation in dusty or washdown environments.

• Wide medium compatibility – Suitable for conductive liquids including water, water‑based media, coolants, hydraulic oils, and many industrial fluids with a minimum conductivity of ≥ 20 µS/cm and viscosity < 70 mm²/s at 40 °C.
