CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS

Configure the Mass quota (mass per pulse).

Configure the Pulse width .
Ensure that the duration of the pause between pulses is longer than the cycle time
resulting from the scan frequency (see "8.4 Monitoring of the contamination degree“ on
page 60).
4.4 Measurement of volume flow rate
The volume flow rate is the volume transported per unit time.
The sensor calculates the volume flow rate from the measured contour and the belt
speed.
You can smooth the measured value with the aid of the averaging filter (see "4.13 Digi -
tal outputs“ on page 25).
How to configure the calculation of the volume flow rate:

Switch to the Measurement tab.

Configure the Belt speed (see "4.1 Setting the belt speed“ on page 16).

Configure the Flow averaging filter , if required.
How to configure the signaling of the volume flow rate on a digital output:

Switch to the Interfaces tab

Click on
Digital outputs
to open the
Digital outputs
tab (see "4.13 Digital outputs“
on page 25).

Select the assignment Volume flow rate for the required output.

Select the required Logic .

Define the Lower limit , the Upper limit and the associated Hysteresis.
How to configure the signaling of the volume flow rate on an analog output:

Switch to the Interfaces tab.

Click on BAM 100 to open the BAM 100 tab (see "4.14 Analog module BAM100“ on
page 26).

Select the assignment Volume flow rate for the required output.

Define the 4 mA point and the 20 mA point .
4.5 Measurement of the mass flow rate
The mass flow rate is the mass transported per unit time.
The sensor calculates the mass flow rate from the measured contour, the bulk density,
and the belt speed.
Alternatively you can set the mass flow rate as a fixed value or an analog value. The
sensor then uses this value instead of the measured value.
You can smooth the measured value with the aid of the averaging filter (see "4.11 Aver -
aging filter“ on page 24).
How to configure the calculation of the mass flow rate:

Switch to the Measurement tab.

Configure the Belt speed (see "4.1 Setting the belt speed“ on page 16).

Configure the Bulk density as a Fixed value or Analog value .

Configure the Mass flow rate as a Calculated value .

Configure the Flow averaging filter , if required.
How to configure the signaling of the mass flow rate on a digital output:

Switch to the Interfaces tab.
