The 1st fully integrated multi-parameter flow control and measurement device in the process industry.

Thanks to innovative integration of ultrasonic transducers within my control valve body, I can accurately measure liquid volumetric flow.

Even though I don’t have on-board screen to help you access my features, my ‘ One Touch Button ‘ is the access pass to all features under the hood.

Just scroll on and check them out!
02
Pressing the button 3sec long at any time during my operation or 10 min during initialization, my Wifi router is activated and provides you a secure access (WPA2 key) to all the dashboards and data inside.

I am proud to represent the next age of flow control device, but do you know that inside are still the same robust components that you are familiar from the SAMSON and KROHNE.
03
Beautiful packaging of robust, known components (sensors, valve, actuators, positioners, etc.) in a harmonious form that is industry-ready and easy to use using most handheld devices

05
I am flexible in connecting to current plants (4/20mA), but also provide additional communication routes to ensure that I fit into the plants of the future.

Soon available : Profinet, Ethernet/IP, and more

Our modular 4 in 1 design drives more savings in terms of reduced no of flanges & shorter inlet & outlet pipe run.
07
And to make sure that I am always easy to install, the cables connecting the sensors to the electronics housing are tucked away in channels machined into my bonnet. The connection for pneumatic air is also easily accessible.

FOCUS-1 in Heat Exchanger loop

Traditional installation

Control philosophy

  • 1 Temperature measurement
  • 2 Converted into Setpoint (%) for valve
  • 3 Valve acts to achieve desired position

FOCUS-1 in Heat Exchanger loop

FOCUS-1 allows simplification

Control philosophy

  • 1 Temperature measurement
  • 2 Converted into Setpoint (% or flow) for FOCUS-1
  • 3 FOCUS-1 acts to achieve desired position
  • 4 FOCUS-1 accepts direct Temperature measurement to control flow (Q) using in-built PID tuning

Integration Effort for Scenarios & Benefit Achieved

Scenario 1
% Opening
Scenario 2
FLOW as setpoint
Scenario 3
Field input to FOCUS-1
  • No change in PID in DCS
  • Least use of FOCUS-1
    functionality
  • DCS to provide Flow as 4/20mA
    signal to FOCUS-1
  • DCS simplification for
    greenfeild, more effort in
    brownfeild to change PID
  • Direct Temp input to
    FOCUS-1
  • Most benefit through
    control-in-field
    (DCS integration not
    required)
