SDGx50
Flow meter compressed air
12
During the simulation:
•
The simulation has no effect on the current process values. The outputs operate as previously set.
•
The original totaliser value remains saved without any changes even if there is a real flow.
•
No error messages of the current application are available. They are suppressed by the simulation.
The following values can be simulated:
Flow, temperature, pressure and meter reading of the totaliser.
5.9 Display colour setting
The colour of the characters in the display can be set via the parameter [coL.x]:
•
Permanent definition of the display colour:
– bk/wh (black/white)
– yellow
– green
– red
•
Colour change from red to green or vice versa:
– r-cF (red display colour between the limits cFL...cFH)
– G-cF (green display colour between the limits cFL...cFH)

cFL:
Lower limit value
cFH:
Upper limit value
MAW:
Initial value of the measuring range
MEW:
Final value of the measuring range
The limits can be freely selected within the measuring range and are independent of the output
function set for OUT1 and OUT2.
5.10 IO-Link
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which enables direct access to process and
diagnostic data. In addition it is possible to set the parameters of the unit while it is in operation.
Operation of the unit via the IO-Link interface requires an IO-Link master.
With a PC, suitable IO-Link software and an IO-Link adapter cable, communication is possible while
the system is not in operation.
The IODDs necessary for the configuration of the unit, detailed information about process data
structure, diagnostic information, parameter addresses and the necessary information about the
required IO-Link hardware and software can be found at www.ifm.com.
The IO-Link interface provides the following functions using suitable hardware and software:
•
Remote parameter setting of the unit.
•
Noise-immune signal transmission without measured value losses.
•
Transmission of the parameter settings to a replaced unit or to other units of the same type.
•
Display of error and event messages.
•
Paperless logging of parameter sets, process values and diagnostic information.
