Electromagnetic flow sensor for water and wastewater applications, combining low-flow sensitivity, flexible installation and reliable long-term operation.

Electromagnetic flow sensor for demanding process applications, combining liners and electrodes with robust design and precise measurement of conductive liquids.

Enable optimal flowmeter performance with this advanced, portable device for complex on-site verification and certification — without interrupting your process.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 check 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 easily using capacitive touch keys with an intuitive menu and wizard in 20+ languages.

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

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.

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.

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 construction significantly reduce environmental impact — all while maintaining the measurement accuracy and reliability expected from Siemens. Read more here .
