Burkert 8742 Mass Flow Controller Data Sheet
Burkert 8742 is a versatile Mass Flow Controller/Mass Flow Meter designed for precise gas flow control and measurement in a wide range of applications. With its high accuracy (±0.8% of reading ±0.3% full scale), fast response time (<300 ms), and wide flow range (10 mlN/min to 160 lN/min for N2), it ensures reliable and efficient gas flow management. Ideal for industries such as metal and glass manufacturing, fermentation processes, test benches, filling systems, and packaging machines.

Type description
The Mass Flow Controller (MFC) / Mass Flow Meter (MFM) Type 8742 for gas es is suitable for a wide range of applications, e.g. metal and glass manufac turing or processing, fermentation processes, test benches or filling systems and packaging machines. Type 8742 is available in two variants: The variant with several analogue or digital (communication) interfaces and the variant with only a CANopen-based interface. The latter is suitable for integration into existing CANopen networks or - in combination with the fieldbus gateway
Type ME43 - for integration in all common industry standards for Industrial
Ethernet or fieldbus. This variant is tailor-made for applications with many control loops. Up to 32 MFCs/ MFMs can be connected to one fieldbus gate way. Type ME43 transmits the internal CANopen-based communication to
Industrial Ethernet and fieldbus standards. The Mass Flow Controller / Mass
Flow Meter can always be switched between büS and CANopen communica tion. Type 8742 can be configured as required as an MFM or MFC. Optionally, up to four calibration curves can be stored in the device. The thermal MEMS sensor is located directly in the gas flow and achieves very fast response times and the highest level of measuring accuracy, with long-term stable calibration. As the actuator, a Bürkert direct-acting proportional valve guaran tees high response sensitivity. The integrated PI controller ensures excellent control characteristics of the MFC. Type 8742 is especially designed for use in harsh environments thanks to its high IP protection class and explosion protection.

7. Product operation
7.1. Measuring principle
The flow measurement takes place directly in the bypass channel.
A laminar flow element in the main channel generates a small pressure drop, which drives a small part of the total flow through the bypass channel. The sensor is located there and measures the mass flow directly as a temperature difference. The measurement is performed in a specially shaped flow channel, the wall of which contains a Si chip with an etched membrane at one point. A heating resistor and, symmetrically to this, two temperature sensors, one upstream and one downstream, are placed on this membrane.
If the heating resistor is fed with a constant voltage, the differential voltage of the temperature sensors is a measure for the mass flow of the gas flowing over the chip in the flow channel.

9. Product accessories
9.1. Bürkert Communicator Software
Note:
To install the software, click here .
Part of Bürkert’s EDIP program (Efficient Device Integration Platform) is the Bürkert Communicator. This software can be run under
MS-Windows and it is available on Bürkert’s website for free. The Bürkert Communicator allows convenient system configuration and parametrisation of all connected field devices. An accessory part, the büS stick serves as the interface between computer and process instruments (see
“10.4. Ordering chart accessories” on page 17 ). It transfers “USB data” to “CAN data”. The Communi
cator allows:
• Diagnosis
• Parametrization
• Registration and storage of process data
• To watch graph of process
• To update firmware of the device connected
• Guided re-calibration
Type 8742 connection with Bürkert Communicator software
The interface to the “Bürkert Communicator” software tool is based on CANopen. The appropriate bus termination is mandatory.
Hence, please activate, for Type 8742 with analogue or PROFIBUS interface, the termination resistor switch on the büS-stick. For
Type 8742 büS / CANopen, this termination resistor should not be activated, in case the device is already integrated in a properly terminated bus network
To connect the MFC / MFM with the “Bürkert Communicator” software tool, you need a büS-stick. The büS-stick sets contain the necessary accessories.
• For Type 8742 büS / CANopen, the connection is made directly via the 5 pin M12 plug (büS-stick Set 1 contains the necessary accessories).
• For Type 8742, with analogue or PROFIBUS, the connection is made via the micro-USB socket on the device (büS-stick Set 2 contains the necessary accessories).
ATTENTION: No external power supply may be connected to the micro-USB socket! The power supply to the unit must be provided
as described in chapter “5. Device/Process connections” on page 13
.

10.2. Recommendation regarding product selection
Note:
The product questionnaire form at the end of this document contains the relevant fluid specification. Using the experience of
Bürkert engineers already in the design phase provide us with a copy of the request containing the necessary data together with your inquiry or order.
For the proper choice of the actuator orifice within the MFC, not only the required maximum flow rate Q
Nom ues directly before and after the MFC (p

) at this flow rate Q

, but also the pressure val -
should be known. In general, these pressures are not the same as the overall inlet and outlet pressures of the whole plant, because usually there are additional flow resistors (tubing, additional shut-off valves, nozzles etc.) present both before and after the controller.
Please use the product questionnaire form at the end of this document to indicate the pressures directly before and after the MFC.
If these are unknown or not accessible to a measurement, estimates are to be made by taking into account the approximate pressure drops over the flow resistors before and after the MFC, respectively, at a flow rate of Q

Note:
• A büS-Stick is required to connect the MFC / MFM with the “Bürkert Communicator” software tool. It is connected via the micro
USB-socket on the device (büS-Stick Set 2 contains the necessary accessories).
• Please note: The interface to our software tool “Bürkert Communicator” is based on CANopen. A corresponding bus termination is mandatory. Therefore please activate the switchable terminating resistor on the büS-stick.
