9 Set-up
After power-on and expiry of the power-on delay time of approx. 1 s, the unit is in the normal operating mode. It carries out its measurement and evaluation functions and generates output signals according to the set parameters.
- During the power-on delay time the outputs are switched as programmed:
- ON with normally open function (Hno / Fno)
– OFF with normally closed function (Hnc / Fnc).
– OFF for consumed quantity monitoring (ImP)
- If output 2 is configured as analogue output, the output signal is at 20 mA during the power-on delay time.
10 Parameter setting
Parameter setting can be carried out via the IO-Link interface or via the operating elements on the unit.
Parameters can be set before installation or during operation.

If you change parameters during operation, this will influence the function of the plant.
▶ Ensure that there will be no malfunctions in your plant.
During parameter setting the unit remains in the operating mode. It continues to monitor with the existing parameter until the parameter setting has been completed.

Depending on the parameter setting, the parameters available in the menu may change.

10.3 Output configuration
10.3.1 Switching signal
OUTx changes its switching status if it is above or below the set switching limits. Hysteresis or window function can be selected.

| 1: | Process value |
| t: | Time |
| SP: | Set point |
| rP: | Reset point |
| HY: | Hysteresis |
| Hno: | Hysteresis function NO (normally open) |
| Hnc: | Hysteresis function NC (normally closed) |
Fig. 7: Hysteresis function

When the hysteresis function is set, the switch point [SP] and the reset point [rP] are defined. [rP] must have a lower value than [SP]. If only the switch point is changed, the reset point is changed automatically; the difference remains constant.

| 1: | Process value |
| t: | Time |
| FH: | Upper limit value |
| FL: | Lower limit value |
| HY: | Hysteresis |
| FE: | Window area |
| Fno: | Window function NO (normally open) |
| Fnc: | Window function NC (normally closed) |
Fig. 8: Window function

When set to the window function the upper limit value [SP] and the lower limit value [rP] are defined. [SP] and [rP] have a fixed hysteresis of 0.25 % of the final value of the measuring range. This keeps the switching status of the output stable if the volumetric flow varies slightly.

10.3.2 Analogue signal
The unit provides an analogue signal of 4...20 mA proportional to the process value.
The measuring range is scalable:
• [ASP] determines at which measured value the output signal is 4 mA.
• [AEP] determines at which measured value the output signal is 20 mA.
Minimum distance between ASP and AEP = 20 % of the final value of the measuring range.
If the measured value is outside the measuring range or in the event of an internal error, the current signal indicated in the following figure is provided.
For measured values outside the display range or in case of an error, messages are displayed (cr. UL, UL, OL, cr. OL, Err).
The analogue signal in case of a fault can be set via the parameter [FOU].

10.3.3 Consumed quantity monitoring (totaliser function)
The unit has an internal totaliser. The totaliser continuously sums up the consumed quantity and provides this process value both on the display and via the IO-Link interface.
In addition to the current consumed quantity, the value before the last reset is saved. This value and the time since the last reset can also be displayed.

The totaliser saves the totalled volumetric flow 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 saved. This means that the possible data loss can be maximum 10 minutes.
Indication of the consumed quantity in the display: Operating and display elements.
See also: Totaliser reset ( → ☐ 34).
Pulse signals or a switching signal can be used to monitor the consumed quantity.
The accuracy of the consumed quantity measurement depends on the accuracy of the volumetric flow measurement.
OUT1 and OUT2 cannot be used simultaneously for the consumed quantity monitoring.
10.3.3.1 Pulse signal totaliser
Pulse signals can be provided for consumed quantity monitoring.
Every time the volumetric flow quantity (pulse value) set under [lmPS] has been reached, the output provides a pulse signal.
The pulse signal consists of a short switching on and off of the output. The switching status LEDs on the unit do not display the switching operation.

Pulse signals are not available via the IO-Link interface.

10.3.3.2 Switching signal totaliser
A switching signal can be provided for consumed quantity monitoring.
When the volumetric flow quantity set under [lmPS] has been reached, the output provides a switching signal. The output remains switched until a reset is carried out. When the totaliser has been reset, metering starts again.
By setting [rTo] it is defined when the output switches and when the totaliser is reset:
| [rTo] | Output | Totaliser reset |
| OFF | The output switches when the volumetric flow quantity set under [ImPS] is reached. | ▸ ▶ Carry out a manual reset.• Automatic reset when the maximum display range is exceeded. |
| 1, 2,... h1, 2,... d1, 2,... w | The output switches only if the volumetric flow quantity set under [ImPS] is reached within the set time. | When the output is not switched:• Time-controlled reset (the time set under rTo is exceeded). When the output is switched:▸ Carry out a manual reset.• Automatic reset when the maximum display range is exceeded. |

The maximum display range is reached at a consumed quantity of 100 000 000 m 3 .

The set damping constant stabilises the output signals. Abrupt changes in the physical process values are smoothed out.
This concerns the outputs, the display and the process value transmission via the IO-Link interface.
The damping constant is added to the response time of the sensor ( → Technical data).
The UL and OL signals are defined under consideration of the damping time.

The measured value damping has an effect on the process values flow and pressure.

• the process value for flow shown on the display
• the digital switching signal for flow
• the analogue signal for flow
• the memory values for minimum and maximum flow
• the consumed quantity monitoring (switching or pulse signal for flow)

The accuracy indicated in the data sheet applies to the factory-set LFC value. If a lower LFC value is set, the accuracy of the sensor will decrease.

10.7 Service functions
10.7.1 Simulation
With this function, process values are simulated and their signal path is checked.
When the parameters cr. UL, UL, OL and cr. OL are set, process values that lead to an error message or warning can be simulated.
When the simulation is started, the values of the totaliser are frozen and the simulated totaliser is set to 0. The simulated flow value then has an effect on the simulated totaliser. When the simulation is ended, the initial totaliser values are restored.
During the simulation:
- The simulation has no effect on the current process values. The outputs operate as previously set.
- The original totaliser value remains saved without any changes even if there is a real flow.
- No error messages of the current application are available. They are suppressed by the simulation.
