Chapter 1 What is the Configurable Flowmeter Module?
Understanding Module Input
Capabilities
The module accepts input for up to two channels (mode dependent). Each of
the input channels can connect to:
•
Magnetic Pickup - 50mV trigger
•
TTL output - 1.3V trigger
•
Preamp outputs - 4V trigger
You configure the module’s two input channels for your specific application(s).
Each input channel has two input selections:
•
Flowmeter Input (F0 & F1) - Connect input device to this input.
•
Gate Input (Z0 & Z1) - Accepts 4-40V DC input pulses from open
collectors or external contact closures. These inputs are used in Totalizer
mode to interface to a prover when a prover is enabled.
Understanding Module
Output Capabilities
The module has two assignable outputs. These outputs are designed for
applications that require fast response. The outputs:
•
are electrically fused/current limited to 4 amps; the total output
combination is limited to 7 amps.
•
can be assigned to any input channel with user-defined trigger
parameter (see
).
•
are current sourcing at 10-31.2V DC (1 amp maximum per output).
•
must be connected to an external power supply.
•
can be forced ON or OFF by the program.
IMPORTANT
You can assign both outputs to a given channel; however, you
cannot use the same output with two different channels.
