11.3 Output configuration

This chapter describes the options for the output signals at OUT1 and OUT2.

11.3.1 Switching signal for limit value monitoring

A switching signal can be output for process value monitoring. OUTx changes its switching state when the set switching limits are exceeded or not reached. You can choose between hysteresis and window function.

Hysteresis function:
IFM SM8130 - Switching signal for limit value monitoring - 1

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
IFM SM8130 - Switching signal for limit value monitoring - 2

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.

Window function:

IFM SM8130 - Switching signal for limit value monitoring - 3

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
IFM SM8130 - Switching signal for limit value monitoring - 4

When set to the window function, the upper limit value FH and the lower limit value FL are defined. FH and FL have a fixed hysteresis of 0.25 % of the final value of the measuring range (MEW). This keeps the switching status of the output stable if the flow varies slightly.

11.3.1.1 Parameter setting via unit keys: Switching signal

√ The standard unit of measurement is selected: EF > CFG > uni.x.
√ The process value is selected: EF > OUTx > SELx.
▶ Go to EF > OUTx to configure the output OUTx.

Hysteresis function:

▶ Select oux and set the switching signal: Hno or Hnc.
▶ Select SPx and set the measured value at which the output switches.
▶ Select rPx and set the measured value at which the output switches back.

Window function:

▶ Select oux and set the switching signal: Fno or Fnc.
▶ Select FHx and set the upper limit of the window.
▶ Select FLx and set the lower limit of the window.

IFM SM8130 - Switching signal for limit value monitoring - 5

The parameter settings for SP, rP, FH and FL can be changed subsequently in the main menu.

11.3.2 Switching signal for flow direction

A flow direction change can be monitored by providing a switching signal.

The output is switched on until the flow rate falls below the set minimum flow rate in negative flow direction (- LFC)(1).

Then the following applies:

• The output switches ON when + LFC is exceeded (2).
• The output switches OFF when - LFC is not reached (3).

IFM SM8130 - Switching signal for flow direction - 1

LFC = Low flow cut-off: Low flow cut-off 38. The unit of the minimum flow rate corresponds to the selection under uni. F.

IFM SM8130 - Switching signal for flow direction - 2

Fig. 9: Monitoring of the flow direction by switching signals

+Q: Flow in positive flow direction
-Q: Flow in negative flow direction
+LFC: Minimum flow in positive flow direction
-LFC: Minimum flow in negative flow direction

An arrow with the text “flow direction” on the device indicates the positive flow direction. The direction of the flow measurement can be reversed using the parameter Fdir.

→ Flow direction → 39.

11.3.2.1 Parameter setting via unit keys: switching signal for flow direction

▶ Go to the EF > OUTx menu.
▶ Select SELx and set the process value: FLOW.
▶ Select oux and set dir. F.
▶ If necessary, check or change the set flow direction ➕ 39.

11.3.3 Consumed quantity monitoring (totaliser function)

The unit has 3 internal quantity meters (totalisers Vol.1, Vol.2 and Vol. L). The totalisers continuously sum up the consumed quantity and provide this process value both on the display and via the IO-Link interface.

Vol.1Consumed quantity 1(This value is used for consumed quantity monitoring by switching or pulse signals)Cyclic
Vol.2Consumed quantity 2Acyclic
Vol. LConsumed quantity over the whole lifetime (lifetime totaliser)Acyclic
  • The totalisers Vol.1 and Vol.2 can be reset. Totaliser Vol. L cannot be reset.
    → Totaliser reset → 39.
  • The totalisers Vol.1 and Vol.2 take account of the following parameter settings when totalising the consumed quantity:

  • Flow direction ➕ 39.

  • Counting method of the totalisers ➞ 41.
  • Low flow cut-off ➕ 38.
  • The Life Time Totalisator Vol. L totals all flow quantities regardless of the flow direction and counting method.

  • When the detection range (cr. OL) is exceeded, the totalisers use the last valid flow rate value (measuring range end value) and continue counting with this value.

  • 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.

Read totaliser values → 47.

IFM SM8130 - Consumed quantity monitoring (totaliser function) - 1

The totaliser saves the totalled flow quantity at regular intervals. 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 amount to a maximum of a few seconds.

  • The accuracy of the consumed quantity measurement depends on the accuracy of the flow measurement.
  • A switching signal or pulse signals can be provided for consumed quantity monitoring:

→ Switching signal totaliser → 29.

→ Pulse signal totaliser → 30.

11.3.3.1 Switching signal totaliser

A switching signal can be provided for consumed quantity monitoring.

When totaliser Vol.1 has totalled the flow quantity (pulse value) set under ImPS, the output provides a switching signal.

The flow direction is taken into account when totalling the flow quantity ➕ 41.

The output remains switched until a totaliser reset is carried out. When the totaliser has been reset, metering starts again.

▷ The totaliser is reset automatically or manually.

The conditions for the totaliser reset and the switching signal can be set via the parameter rTo:

- rTo = OFF:

  • The totaliser is only reset with a manual reset or after overflow.
  • The output is switched when the totaliser has reached the flow quantity ImPS.

• rTo = ...h / d / w (hours / days / weeks):

  • ▷ The totaliser is automatically reset after the set time.
  • The output is only switched when the totaliser reaches the flow quantity ImPS by the set time.

IFM SM8130 - Switching signal totaliser - 1

The totalisers can be reset manually at any time via the rTox parameter. Totaliser Vol.1 can additionally be reset via an external signal at pin 2.

    • TEMP: Temperature

Parameter setting via unit keys: process values OUT1 and OUT2

▶ Go to the EF > OUTx menu.
▶ Select SELx and set process value for output OUTx.

11.4.3 Damping

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 dAP is used to set after how many seconds the output signal reaches 63 % of the final value if the measured value changes suddenly.

The damping constant is added to the response time of the sensor (→ Technical data).

The signals UL, cr. UL, OL and cr. OL are defined under consideration of the damping constant.

IFM SM8130 - Damping - 1

Measured value damping only has an effect on the process value flow.

11.4.3.1 Parameter setting via device buttons: Damping

▶ Call up the menu EF > CFG.
▶ Select dAP and set the damping time in seconds ( τ -value 63 %).

11.4.4 Start-up delay

The start-up delay [dSt] influences the switching outputs of the flow monitoring.

If the start-up delay is active (dSt > 0), the following applies: as soon as the flow quantity exceeds the LFC value, the following processes are carried out:

• The start-up delay is activated.
- The outputs switch as programmed: ON for NO function, OFF for NC function.

After activation of the start-up delay there are 3 options:

ConditionReaction
1:The flow quantity increases quickly and reaches the switch point / acceptable range within dSt.The outputs remain active.
2:The flow quantity increases slowly and does not reach the switch point / acceptable range within dSt.All outputs are reset.
3:The flow quantity falls below LFC within dSt.The outputs are reset at once; dSt is stopped.

Example: flow monitoring with hysteresis function

IFM SM8130 - Start-up delay - 1

ConditionReaction
1:The flow quantity Q reaches LFCdSt starts, the output becomes active
2:dSt elapsed, Q has reached SPThe output remains active
3:Q falls below SP but stays above rPThe output remains active
4:Q falls below rPThe output is reset
5:Q reaches LFC againdSt starts, the output becomes active
6:dSt elapsed, Q has not reached SPThe output is reset
7:Q reaches SPThe output becomes active

Example: flow monitoring with window function
IFM SM8130 - Start-up delay - 2

ConditionReaction
1:The flow quantity Q reaches LFCdSt starts, the output becomes active
2:dSt elapsed, Q has reached acceptable rangeThe output remains active
3:Q above FH (leaves acceptable range)The output is reset
4:Q falls below FH againThe output becomes active
5:Q falls below FL (leaves acceptable range)The output is reset
6:Q reaches LFC againdSt starts, the output becomes active
7:dSt elapsed, Q has not reached acceptable rangeThe output is reset
8:Q reaches acceptable rangeThe output becomes active

Parameter setting via unit keys: Output polarity

▶ Call up the menu EF > CFG.
▶ Select P-n and set PnP or nPn.

11.4.6 Low flow cut-off

Low flow quantities can be ignored using the parameter LFC (Low flow cut-off). Flow below the LFC value is evaluated by the sensor as standstill (Q = 0).

The LFC value influences:

• the process value for flow shown on the display
• The switching signal for flow
• the analogue signal for flow
• The frequency signal for flow
• the consumed quantity monitoring (switching or pulse signal for flow)
- The totalisation of the consumed quantity by the totalisers.
• the memory values for minimum and maximum flow

Parameter setting via unit keys: low flow cut-off

▶ Call up the menu EF > CFG.
▶ Select LFC and set the limit below which a flow is evaluated as standstill.

11.4.7 Flow direction

The positive flow direction can be defined by the user. This setting affects the following functions:

→ Consumed quantity monitoring (totaliser function) → 28
→ Switching signal for flow direction → 27

An arrow with the text “flow direction” on the device indicates the positive flow direction (factory setting). The direction of the flow rate measurement can be reversed using the parameter Fdir:

FdirDirection of flow
+Flow direction in case of factory setting
-Flow direction contrary to the factory setting

Parameter setting via unit keys: flow direction

▶ Call up the menu EF > CFG.
▶ Select Fdir and set the direction of media flow.

The totaliser is reset as soon as the maximum display range is exceeded.

11.4.9 Counting method of the totalisers

The totalisers Vol.1 and Vol.2 take account of the flow direction when totalising the consumed quantity. The following counting methods can be defined via the parameter FProx:

FProxCounting method
0+Negative flow values (against the marked flow direction) are not taken into account for totalisation
-+Negative flow values are subtracted from the consumed quantity.
++All flow values are totalised irrespective of the flow direction.

Tab. 1: Counting method of the totalisers

The counting method of Vol. L cannot be set. The lifetime totaliser totals all volumetric flow quantities irrespective of the flow direction.

The counting method affects the output signals for consumed quantity monitoring.

→ Consumed quantity monitoring (totaliser function) → 28.

The sensor can be located remotely in the system via the IO-Link interface.

IFM SM8130 - Optical localisation - 1

This function is only available via the IO-Link interface.

When the command is executed via the IO-Link interface, the switching status LEDs flash and the “IO-Link” indication flashes in the display.

▶ Deactivate the function via IO-Link or by pressing any button on the device.

11.6.4 Read totaliser values

For the totalisers, the following values can be read at any time:

Totaliser values Vol.1 and Vol.2

  • Current flow quantity (= consumed quantity since the last totaliser reset)
    • Value before the last totaliser reset
    • Time since the last totaliser reset

Lifetime totaliser (for the entire operating time)

  • Flow quantity in preferred direction (= positive direction of flow)
  • Flow quantity in non-preferred direction (= negative direction of flow)
    • Total flow rate (regardless of the flow direction)

Reading via unit keys: totaliser values

▶ Go to the EF > TOTL menu.
▶ Select Vol.x and read consumption values.

11.6.5 Memory

The unit stores the maximum and minimum measured process values.

The current value can be read from the unit's display or via the IO-Link interface.

Selectable values:

• Lo. F: Minimum value memory for volumetric flow
• Hi. F: Maximum value memory for volumetric flow
• Lo. T: Minimum value memory for temperature
• Hi. T: Maximum value memory for temperature

IFM SM8130 - Memory - 1

The stored values can only be reset via the IO-Link interface.

IFM SM8130 - Memory - 2

It makes sense to delete the memories as soon as the unit operates under normal operating conditions for the first time.

11.6.5.1 Parameter setting via unit keys: Memory

Show memory:

▶ Go to the EF > MEM menu.
▶ Select Lo.x or Hi.x to show the highest or lowest process value measured.

Clear memory:

▶ Go to the EF > MEM menu.
▶ Select Lo.x or Hi.x.
▶ Keep ▲ or ▼ pressed.

▷ ---- is displayed.

▶ Briefly press ●.

12 Troubleshooting

The unit has many self-diagnostic options. It monitors itself automatically during operation.

Warnings and error states are displayed even if the display is switched off. Error indications are also available via IO-Link.

The status signals are classified according to NAMUR recommendation NE107.

If several diagnostic events occur simultaneously, only the diagnostic message of the event with the highest priority is displayed.

If the measured temperature value fails, the process value for flow rate is still available.
