enCore FC
5 Design and Function
5.1 Functional Description of enCore FC devices
The specific function of an enCore device depends on its device type
( chapter 4.2 Intended Use, p. 25):
• enCore FC1
The FC1 is a process computer, which is mainly used as a flow
computer for natural gas, thus to measure and calculate the gas
flow.
• enCore MC1
The MC1 is a monitoring and controlling unit, mainly for use in
industrial gas measurement.
For these special tasks, various measuring devices are connected to the
device (depending on the application, e.g. gas meter, pressure transmitter,
temperature transmitter and gas quality measurement device).
The enCore FC provides various interface options for the various types of
measurement device types:
Device Type Connection Option
gas meter • pulse interface for turbine, rotary piston or
other pulse-generating gas meters
• serial interface for ultrasonic gas meters via
a manufacturer-specific digital protocol
• interface for gas meters with an encoder
index
pressure transmitter • 4 … 20 mA analog input
• HART protocol interface
temperature transmitter • resistance input for Pt100 with 4-wire
technology
• HART protocol interface
