5.2 Device specific parameters of the Transducer block
SERIAL_NUMBER : device factory serial number
Flow unit:
it can be chosen between units for mass flow or volume flow. Depending on this selection mass flow
or volume flow will be forwarded to the AI. The output of volume flow is only possible if the density
measurement has been calibrated and is switched on or a fixed density is preset. Otherwise the output of the AI
will be marked as “bad“. Flow unit can be chosen from the following units:
Mass flow :

kg/s, kg/min, kg/h, kg/d

t/min, t/h, t/d,

g/s, g/min, g/h,

lbs/s, lbs/min, lbs/h, lbs/d,

ston/min, ston/h, ston/d,

lton/h, lton/d,
Volume flow:

m3/s, m3/min, m3/h, m3/d,

l/s, l/min, l/h,

USG/min, USG/h, MG/d,

UKG/s, UKG/min, UKG/h,

ft3/s, ft3/min, ft3/h, ft3/d,

USB/s, USB/min, USB/h, USB/d
Density unit:
can be chosen from the following units:

kg/m3

kg/l,

g/l,

g/cm3,

lb/ft3,

lb/USG,
Temperature unit: can be chosen from the following units :

°C,

F,

K.
Totalizer unit:
depending on this unit it is accumulated mass or volume flow. The accumulation of volume is
only possible if the density measurement has been calibrated and is switched on or a fixed density is preset.
Otherwise the output of the AI will be marked as “bad“.
The unit can be chosen from the units following:

g, kg, t,

l, m3,

USG,

UKG,

USB,

lbs,

shton,

lton,
