Legal information
Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will be
used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to property
damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. Qualified

1.6 Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be connected
to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is necessary and
only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in
place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that may be implemented, please
visit
https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity.
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more secure.
Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are available
and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no longer
supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber
threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under

Description 3
3.1 Overview
SITRANS Coriolis flowmeter systems consist of a transmitter and a sensor. The following table
lists the available combinations of transmitters and sensors.
Transmitter Sensor type
FCT010 FCS300
DN 15 to DN 150 (0.5" to 6")
You can use the flowmeter for the following measuring tasks:
● Mass flow
● Volume flow
● Density
● Medium temperature
● depending on product variants: fraction, including industry-specific fractions
Operate the device according to the specifications in section Technical data (Page 105).
3.2 System integration
The FC310 flowmeter functions as a Modbus RTU slave with standard Modbus commands
implemented. Setup parameters, process values, diagnostics, and status information are
mapped as Modbus registers.
The device can be connected point-to-point or in a multidrop network in non-hazardous or
hazardous areas. It can be connected to different hosts for example a PLC system or a PC used
as service tool or configuration tool.
Note
Multidrop installations in hazardous areas
Multidrop installations in hazardous areas require flameproof conduit seals for each device.
SITRANS FC310
Operating Instructions, 01/2019, A5E44036384-AB 17

3.3 Design
The SITRANS FC310 flowmeter uses the Coriolis principle to measure flow. The device is a
one channel flowmeter with Modbus RTU RS-485 output.

Figure 3-2 Flowmeter – terminated cable
Flowmeter design
All primary process measurement of mass flow, volume flow, density and process temperature
are done in the FC310 transmitter.
The sensor includes two parallel bent tubes welded directly to the process connections at each
end via a manifold.
The sensors are available in AISI 316L stainless steel and C4 (2.4610) nickel alloy or C22
(2.4602) nickel alloy. The enclosure is made of stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L), 1.4301 (AISI
304), 1.4308 (ASTM CF8). The maximum permissible operating pressure is determined by the
respective process connection, considering the process temperature.
