Frequently Asked Questions - SD0550 IFM

What does the IFM SD0550 measure?
The IFM SD0550 measures the standard volume flow of compressed air in industrial applications. It detects four process categories: flow velocity, volumetric flow, consumed quantity, and medium temperature.
How many outputs does the SD0550 have and how can they be configured?
The device has two outputs (OUT1 and OUT2). OUT1 can be configured as a switching signal for volumetric flow limit values or as a pulse output for quantity meter. OUT2 can be configured as a switching signal for volumetric flow or temperature, or as an analogue signal (4...20 mA) for volumetric flow or temperature. Alternatively, OUT2 can be used as an input for external counter reset.
Can the SD0550 monitor temperature?
Yes, the SD0550 can monitor the medium temperature. A switching signal or analogue signal for temperature can be provided on output 2.
How do I reset the totalizer (consumed quantity)?
The totalizer can be reset in three ways: manually via the menu (set [rTo] to [rES.T]), automatically at set time intervals (set [rTo] to a time value from 1 hour to 8 weeks), or externally via a digital input signal on pin 2 (configure [OU2] as [InD] and set [DIn2] accordingly).
What power supply does the SD0550 require?
The SD0550 requires a DC voltage supply according to EN 50178 (SELV/PELV). The exact voltage range is not specified in the manual, but typical ifm devices use 18...30 V DC.
How do I set the switching points for volumetric flow monitoring?
To set switching points, go to menu level 1 and select [SP1] (upper limit) and [rP1] (lower limit) for OUT1. For OUT2, set [SEL2] to [FLOW] then adjust [SP2] and [rP2]. The switching function can be selected via [OUx] (hysteresis or window, normally open or closed).
What is the low flow cut-off (LFC) function?
The low flow cut-off suppresses small volumetric flow quantities below a set threshold. Flows below the LFC value have no effect on the display and output signals. The LFC can be set from 0.02 to 0.16 Nm³/h in steps of 0.02.
How can I change the display unit in run mode?
In run mode, briefly press the [Set] button to cycle through the available display units: volumetric flow in NI/min, Nm³/h, flow velocity in Nm/s, consumed quantity in Nm³, and medium temperature in °C. The corresponding LED indicator lights up.
How do I lock the device to prevent unintended parameter changes?
To lock the device, press and hold [Mode/Enter] + [Set] for 10 seconds in run mode. '[Loc]' will be displayed. To unlock, repeat the same procedure; '[uLoc]' will appear.
What do the error codes on the display mean?
[SC1]/[SC2] indicate a short circuit in the respective output. [OL] means measured value >120% of the measuring range final value. [UL] means measured value < -20% of the measuring range (temperature). A flashing [Err] indicates an error in the measuring probe or measured value >130% of the final value.

4 Function

4.1 Processing of the measured signals

  • The unit displays the current process values.
  • It generates 2 output signals according to the parameter setting.
    OUT1: 4 selection options
    Switching signal for volumetric flow limit value .... (→ 9.2.1)
    or switching signal for flow velocity limit value .... (→ 9.2.1)
    or pulse sequence for quantity meter .... (→ 9.3.1)
    or switching signal for preset counter .... (→ 9.3.2)

OUT2: 6 selection options

Switching signal for volumetric flow limit value ...... (→ 9.2.2)

or switching signal for flow velocity limit value ...... (→ 9.2.2)

or switching signal for temperature limit value ...... (→ 9.4.1)

or analogue signal for volumetric flow quantity .... (→ 9.2.3)

or analogue signal for flow velocity ...... (→ 9.2.3)

or analogue signal for temperature .... (→ 9.4.2)

Instead of an output OUT2 (Pin2) can be used as an input

for an external reset signal: 9.3.5

4.2 Volumetric flow monitoring

The flow is monitored by a calorimetric measuring system, the measured signals are evaluated by the electronics.

  • 2 switching signals for volumetric flow limit values can be provided (output 1 and output 2). Switching functions 4.5.
  • An analogue signal which is proportional to the volumetric flow (4...20 mA) can be provided on output 2. Analogue functions → 4.6.

4.3 Consumed quantity monitoring (totalizer function)

The unit has an internal quantity meter which continuously totals the volumetric flow quantity. The sum corresponds to the current consumed quantity since the last reset.

  • The current meter reading can be displayed.
  • In addition the value before the last reset is stored. This value can also be displayed.
    The meter saves the totalled consumed quantity every 10 minutes. After a power failure this value is available as the current meter reading. If a time-controlled reset is set, the elapsed time of the set reset interval is also stored. So the possible data loss can be maximum 10 minutes.

• Overflow: After the maximum value (9,999,999 Nm ^3 ) the meter is reset to 0.

The meter can be reset as follows:

  • Manual reset (→ 9.3.3.).
    • Time-controlled automatic reset (→ 9.3.3).
  • External input signal on pin 2 (→ 9.3.5).

4.3.1 Consumed quantity monitoring with pulse output

Output 1 provides a counting pulse each time the value set in [lmPS] is reached ( 9.3.1).

4.3.2 Consumed quantity monitoring with preset counter

2 types of monitoring are possible:

• Time-dependent quantity monitoring.

  • Settings: [ImPS] = quantity X, [ImPR] = [no], [rTo] = time t.
  • If the quantity x is reached during the time t, output 1 switches and remains switched until the meter is reset via the digital input or [rTo] = [rED.T].

IFM SD0550 - Consumed quantity monitoring with preset counter - 1

In this case the time-controlled totalizer reset is not carried out if [lmPS] = quantity X exceeded.

- If the quantity x is not reached during the time t, the meter is automatically reset and counting starts again; output 1 does not switch.

• Quantity monitoring not time-dependent.

  • Settings: [ImPS] = quantity x, [ImPR] = [no], [rTo] = [OFF].
  • If the quantity x is reached during the time t, output 1 switches and remains switched until the meter is reset via the digital input or [rTo] = [rED.T].

4.4 Temperature monitoring

  • A switching signal for temperature limit values can be provided on output 2. Switching functions 4.5.
  • An analogue signal which is proportional to the temperature (4...20 mA) can be provided on output 2. Analogue functions → 4.6.

4.5 Volumetric flow or temperature monitoring / switching function

OUTx changes its switching state if it is above or below the set switching limits (SPx, rPx). The following switching functions can be selected:

  • Hysteresis function / normally open (figure 1): [OUx] = [Hno].
  • Hysteresis function / normally closed (figure 1): [OUx] = [Hnc].
    First the set point (SPx) is set, then the reset point (rPx) with the requested difference. Note: when SPx is adjusted rPx is changed automatically; the difference remains constant.
  • Window function / normally open (fig. 2): [OUx] = [Fno].

- Window function / normally closed (figure 2): [OUx] = [Fnc].

The width of the window can be set by means of the difference between SPx and rPx.SPx = upper value, rPx = lower value.

4.7 Setting of the standard conditions of the volume flow

The unit is adjusted to a standard volume flow to DIN ISO 2533, i.e. volume flow at 1013 hPa, 15 °C and 0 % relative air humidity.

The unit can be set to different standard conditions:

  • Via the menu item [rEF.P] the standard pressure is set, which serves as a reference for the measured and display values for volumetric flow ( 9.5.5).
  • Via the menu item [rEF.T] the standard temperature is set, which serves as a reference for the measured and display values for volumetric flow (→ 9.5.6).

4.8 Low flow cut-off (LFC)

With this function small volumetric flow quantities can be suppressed ( 9.5.7). Flows below the LFC value have no effect on the display and output signals.

Example: For LFC = 0.5 volumetric flow quantities below 0.5 Nm^3/h are suppressed.
