w set-point value of the mass flow rate
x measured value of the mass flow rate
y set-point position of the control valve
The sensor measures the mass flow rate and compares the
measured value x with the set-point value w. Then the product
calculates the set-point position value y of the actuator.
▪
If the actuator is a pump, then the set-point position value y de-
termines the speed of the pump. For example, if the setpoint
position value y is equal to 10%, then the speed of the pump is
10%.
▪
If the actuator is a control valve, then the set-point position
value y determines the opening of the control valve. For ex-
ample, if the set-point position value y is equal to 10%, then
the opening of the control valve is 10%.
The transmission means of the set-point value w and the meas-
ured value of the flow rate depends on the product.

If the product detects that the pipe is empty, then the product
cannot regulate.
If you have an MFC with pump, then fill the pipe as described in
the chapter:
Fill the pipe without damaging the pump (MFC with
After applying the operating voltage, the product enters a short
initialisation phase and switches to the normal operating mode.
The normal operating mode of a product variant büS/CANopen is

Automatic
operating mode. The set-point value is set via the
fieldbus.

Product variant Analogue
If the product detects that the pipe is empty, then the product
