3.1.2
Valve safe state
When an MFC is not powered, the control valve automatically returns to its 'Safe State', which is closed for a 'normally
closed (n.c.)' valve and fully opened for a 'normally opened (n.o.)' valve. During operation, certain communication errors may
cause the MFC to go to the 'Valve Safe State' mode to protect the system, e.g. when fieldbus communication fails (PROFIBUS
DP, DeviceNet™, EtherCAT® and PROFINET only). Also when fluid set configuration of the instrument is incorrect, the
instrument may go to the 'Valve Safe State' mode. See
for more information about LED indications for the
'Valve Safe State' mode, or
for the fluid set configuration parameters.
3.2
Analog operation
With analog operation the following parameters are available:
- output signal: measured value
- input signal: setpoint (controller only)
Using analog and digital interfaces simultaneously
The instrument can be operated via the analog and digital interfaces (RS232/fieldbus) at the same time. When using
multiple interfaces, reading of parameters can be done simultaneously. When changing parameter values, the last value
sent by any of the interfaces will be valid.
Control mode
The instrument accepts a setpoint from either the analog or digital interface, but not both. This default control mode is
selected at ordering time.
3.3
Basic RS232 operation
Connecting the instrument with an RS232 cable or an RS232 cable with a USB to RS232 converter to a Windows computer
enables using the free Bronkhorst® software for Windows, such as FlowDDE and FlowPlot.
Digital operation via RS232 or fieldbus (RS485) adds extra features to the instrument, such as:
·
Direct reading with a readout/control module or host computer
·
Diagnostics
·
Multi-fluid/multi-range functionality (up to 8 fluids, if ordered; see
·
Device identification (
)
·
Adjustable minimum and maximum alarm limits (
)
·
(Batch) counter (
Make sure in FlowDDE the correct port and baud rate are selected. For RS232 operation the baud rate must be 38400
Baud.
