- Industry 4.0 connectivity offers fast and easy access to pump data with EtherNet/IP. Enhanced network control allows pump users to improve process performance and reduce operating costs
- Gateway connectivity to third-party pressure and flow sensors
The industry-leading range of 530, 630 and 730 peristaltic pumps from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) is now available with EtherNet/IP™ control. The availability of this increasingly popular, non-proprietary industrial network protocol provides pump users with access to fast, accurate performance data and seamless connectivity to modern PLC control systems and the IoT (Internet of Things).
Intelligent network control
Advances in digital technologies are changing the way manufacturing and process plants are controlled. EtherNet/IP™ is highly popular as it adapts the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to standard Ethernet, supporting easy network integration, and enabling more data sharing and diagnostics. In addition, real-time communication makes processes secure and flexible.
EtherNet/IP™ is supported by a wide range of automation and industrial process solution providers. The protocol offers all the benefits of modern digital networks, such as enhanced process control, lower running costs and minimised downtime.
As a result, pump users no longer need digital gateways or expensive PLC interface cards, and can enjoy reductions in system cost, footprint and complexity.
EtherNet/IP™ enabled Watson-Marlow pumps are fully compatible with advanced, distributed control systems and leading brands of PLC, including Rockwell Automation, Emerson (Delta-V) and Schneider.
Set-up is quick and easy with an electronic datasheet and a Rockwell Automation ‘add-on-profile’ that provides simple network attribute tabs.
The pumps also include a direct interface to third-party pressure and flow sensors, which provides network access to sensor data.
Performance monitoring
As a further advantage of note, operators can set local limits on pump operation. This useful feature offers a simple, cost-effective solution for safeguarding process integrity by independently monitoring performance. The sensors can bring the pump to a safe stop should the pre-defined limits ever be exceeded.
Three Watson-Marlow models are offered in the series, the 530En, 630En and 730En, providing different flow rates (up to 55 l/min), operating pressures and speed control ranges to suit almost all industrial and process applications. IP66 ingress protection rating is available for wash-down environments. In addition, the pumps come with a five-year warranty.

About us
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.
We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.
The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:
Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
