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 the SITRANS FMS500 for water and wastewater, the SITRANS FMS300 for general process applications, and the SITRANS FMS100 for demanding environments requiring high corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance.

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

Simultaneous measurement of flow, velocity, and conductivity—along with empty-pipe monitoring, device self-checks, and verification support—helps operators take early action and reduce maintenance efforts.

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

Simultaneous measurement of volumetric flow, flow velocity, and electrical conductivity. Standard accuracy of 0.4% of flow rate, with optional high-accuracy calibration up to 0.2% of flow rate.

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

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

Its robust enclosure is rated IP66/67 and NEMA 4X/6, with high UV resistance and an operating temperature range of –40 to 65°C.

Meeting the criteria for the Siemens EcoTech label for the SITRANS FM320 and FM520, the SITRANS FMT020 helps reduce the environmental impact over its lifecycle through up to 15% lower energy consumption, recyclable packaging, firmware updates, and repairability.

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

SITRANS FMT020, when paired with the SITRANS FMS500 sensor to form the SITRANS FM520 system, meets the strict Siemens EcoTech standards for sustainable design.

Its optimized energy performance, recyclable packaging, and repair-friendly design significantly reduce its environmental impact—all while maintaining the measurement accuracy and reliability expected from Siemens. Read more here. .
