Turbine flowmeters are now widely used as sensors in existing flow monitoring scenarios, but their traditional induction coils are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. The process of configuring, calibrating, etc. is complicated. And the interface of existing flowmeter is relatively single. Regarding these issues above, this paper develops a new type of turbine flowmeter with Internet functions replaces the traditional induction coil with AMR components, designs its preamplifier module, develops the microprocessor software functions for the secondary instrument, integrates a variety of industrial wired/wireless flexible communication interfaces in the flowmeter secondary instrument, and uses ZigBee technology to perform node networking, ID setting and routing to construct the IoT architecture of flowmeter. This intelligent flowmeter sensor can be applied to the fields of chemical industry, metallurgy and so on, which can greatly help solve the problems of current flowmeter configuration and network access difficulties, meeting the urgent needs of intelligent manufacturing.
