Digital input IN1
The Flowcont UN has a digital input that is programmable to following functions: dosing input, set
offset, creeping suppression inactive and reset counter. In order to start a dosing process, wiring to
24V DC is required. The condition is the configuration of the dosing parameters with the user display.
Dosing input is debounced so that re-start is not possible during a running dosing process. After
changing configurations a restart of the device is needed to activate the function.
Example Dosing
Dosing can basically be realized in two ways:
1. The Flowcont UN as dosing device (dosing control Flowcont UN)
The Flowcont UN does the entire dosing control. The dosing quantity (e.g. 400 ml) is pre-set in the
FFU using the user menu of the display. Dosing starts, as soon as line digital input is wired to 24
V, e.g. via a pushbutton. FFU will now open the dosing valve via the output configured for it. When
the pre-set dosing quantity is reached, the dosing valve is closed via the above output. The dosing
procedure can also be started and stopped by using the dosing user menu. The 2nd output can be
used independently for signaling of empty pipe detection, limit control or flow direction.
The following settings are necessary:
Adjustment of dosage in the menu
Dosing → Dosing quantity → 400 ml
Setting the max. dosing time that should be allowed for safety reasons.

2) Flowcont UN as flow meter (dosing control via dosing equipment)
The dosing equipment is responsible for the entire dosing control. Therefore, the dosing quantity is
fixed in the dosing equipment control during commissioning by pre-selecting the meter pulses. Dosing
starts, when the relevant pushbutton of the dosing equipment is pushed. The control will now open
the dosing valve. From now on FFU will send a voltage pulse to the control for each volume unit that
has flown through (e.g. per 1ml). When the pre-selected pulse quantity is reached, the control closes
the dosing valve. In this case, output Q1/Q2 is used to send out pulses.
The following settings are necessary:
Adjustment of puls output in the menu
Digital Output Q1/Q2 ==> Function ==> Pulse Output
Options Output ==> Pulse Value ==> e.g. 1 ml per pulse.
