ANALOG OUTPUT

 

 

A6 tune-max 

 
 

 

 

 
 
 

 

 

 

The 20mA value can be tuned precisely with this setting. The initial  maximum 
analog output value is 20mA. However, this value might differ  slightly due to 
ambient influences such as temperature for example. 

Before tuning the signal, make sure that the analog signal is idle (not used) 
for any application!

 

After pressing PROG, the current will be about 20mA. The current can be 
increased / decreased with the arrow keys and is directly active. Press ENTER to 
store the new value. 

If required, you can program the analog output 'up-side-down'. The 

4mA or 

represents the maximum flow rate and the 20mA represents the minimum  flow 
rate.

 

A7  filter 

This setting is used to stabilize the output signal. With the help of this 
digital filter a more stable but less actual representation of the flow rate 
can be obtained. 
The filter principal is based on three input values: the filter level (01-99), 
the last calculated flow rate and the last average value. The higher the 
filter level, the longer the response time on a value change will be.

PULSE

 

B1 mode 

 

 

signed 

 

 

not negative 

The unit has three scaled pulse output modes. This functionality drives two pulse 
outputs which, depending on the mode, can be used as follows: 
On pulse output R1 a pulse will be send when the total has increased or 
decreased with the set quantity (SETUP B4). Pulse output R2 will send a 0 for 
increase or 1 for decrease. 
On pulse output R1 a pulse will be sent when the total has increased with the set 
quantity (SETUP B4). On pulse output R2 the sign of the flow rate will be send 
(positive=0, negative=1). 

 

separated  On pulse output R1 a pulse will be sent when the total has increased with the set 

quantity (SETUP B4). On pulse output R2 a pulse will be sent when the total has 
decreased with the set quantity (SETUP B4).
