K-Factor
(W):
Data type: 32 bit floating point (LSB – MSB)
Description: K-factor which can be used to adjust the flow reading
User Full Scale
(W):
Data type: 32 bit floating point (LSB – MSB))
Description: The user full scale value allows you to re-range the instrument. Any value between
50% and 100% of the factory full scale is allowed. The new value will also redefine the analog
outputs of the instrument (when used). The 20mA/5 VDC will represent the new full scale value.
Syscon Software
Sycon is a tool for the configuration of a Fieldbus network using a Hilscher CIF50-PB master. You
may be using different configuration software and hardware Master. However you will need to
accomplish the same functions. No specific slave DTMs of the equipment are available, which are
generated from the device description files, called generic slave DTMs.
Online diagnostic indicators and auto-scan function for the reading of network participants assist in the
commissioning of the network.
This guide will explain step by step how to configure the system to support various fieldbus slaves on
a Hilscher CIF50-PB master.
Before starting make sure that the necessary device description files (GSD & bit maps) are available in
your device catalog. These are available on our web site.
Import Device Description Files
In order to use a fieldbus device its properties need to be added to the server. This is done by
importing the device description files into Sycon.
Start Sycon and create a new document (File -> New)
A dialog window appears asking to select a fieldbus. For this example select Profibus:
The main window is loaded. Go to the file menu and select “Copy GSD”:
