Sierra`s Smart-Trak® 2 with Compod™ Wins Industry Innovation Award

Sierra Instruments is proud to announce that our Smart-Trak® 2 with Compod has been honored by Flow Control Magazine with their annual Product Innovation Award for its advances in flow measurement technology. This marks the fourth Innovation Award in a row to Sierra by the publication.

Smart -Trak® 2 is the next generation of Sierra’s flagship Model 100 line of mass flow meters (MFM) and controllers (MFC). Building upon the unprecedented performance, user-friendliness and flexibility end-users have come to enjoy with the original Smart-Trak®, Smart-Trak® 2 gives users the world’s most linear sensor, smoother control valve operation, more robust electronics and even more control over a wide range of functions.

With its advanced capabilities, the Smart-Trak 2®, coupled with Sierra’s new Compod™, becomes a truly intelligent flow controller, greatly simplifying basic flow control installations and permitting networking of multiple instruments using open-source MODBUS RTU protocol. A Smart-Trak® with Compod™ can replace much more expensive DCS or PLC systems, allowing end users to automate a wide variety of processes. Two digital outputs and one analog input can be configured by the end user, while the Compod™ monitors the functionality of the MFM or MFC and provides diagnostics, notifying users of faults or system upsets.

Unique Features of Smart-Trak® 2 with Compod™ Includes:

  • True linear performance provides high accuracy and great flexibility in multiple gases
  • With Dial-A-Gas® Technology, users select from up to ten pre-programmed gases or substitute their own
  • The ability to adjust calibration in the field for each of these 10 gases independently
  • Unique Pilot Module (mounted or hand-held) lets users view and change critical control functions in the field
  • Proprietary frictionless-hovering direct-acting control valve technology
  • MODBUS RTU networking capability with Sierra Compod™
  • Controls simple processes without the need for external PLCs or computers
  • Acts as a vital link in a complex process control network
  • Monitors the operation of instruments and provides potential problem alerts
  • Available with a local LCD Display for local monitoring (Compod™)
  • Can be used with new instruments or added to existing models (Compod™)
