All process values and messages are available via the IO-Link interface irrespective of the output configuration.

3.1 Device function with factory setting

	Factory setting
Operating mode	Relative flow measurement in % of the maximum flow
Output OUT1	Switching signal for flow:– hysteresis function normally open, PnP– SP1 = 20 %, rP1 = 15 % of the final value of the measuring range Measured value damping 0.6 secondsNo switch-on /switch-off delayIn case of a fault the output switches OFF
Output OUT2	Analogue signal for flow (4...20 mA; measuring range unscaled)In case of a fault the analogue signal goes to 3.5 mA
Display	Red text colour Update of the measured values every 200 msStandard display: flow

More information: Factory setting ( → Factory settings ☐ 34).

4 Functions and features

The unit monitors gaseous media.

It detects the process categories flow and medium temperature.

4.1 Application area

- Medium = air

In applications > 6 bar (> 600 kPa), flow range inaccuracies may occur due to the natural convection of the air.

This is a class A product. This product may cause radio interference in domestic areas. ▶ If required, take appropriate EMC screening measures.

5 Function

• The unit detects flow based on the calorimetric measuring principle.
• As additional process value the unit detects the medium temperature.
  • The unit has an IO-Link interface.
• The unit displays the current process values.
  • The unit has many self-diagnostic options.
• The unit generates two output signals according to the parameter setting.

5.1 Output OUT1 selection options

• Switching signal flow
  • Frequency signal flow
• IO-Link

5.2 Output OUT2 selection options

• Switching signal flow
• Switching signal temperature
• Analogue signal flow
  • Analogue signal temperature
  • Frequency signal flow
  • Frequency signal temperature
• Input for external teach signal (remote adjustment)

5.3 Operating modes

The unit provides 2 selectable operating modes for flow measurement:

Operating mode [ModE]	Display unit
REL	% of the taught range
GAS	m/s, l/min, m3/h

The selected operating mode has no effect on the temperature measurement, only absolute values in ° C are indicated.

When [ModE] = GAS is selected:

▶ Define the internal pipe diameter.
▶ If required, calibrate curve of measured values.

When [ModE] = REL is selected:

▶ Carry out flow adjustment.

The parameter settings are saved in the respective operating mode, i.e. when the operating mode is changed, the settings are not lost.

5.4 Calibration

Via the calibration factor [CGA] the sensor can be adjusted to a reference flow in the application.

The customer-specific calibration allows changing the gradient of the curve of measured values. It influences the display and the outputs.

A: Operating value for display and output signals

Q: Flow

MEW: Final value of the measuring range

V: Curve of measured values at factory setting

V1: Curve of measured values 1 after calibration

V2: Curve of measured values 2 after calibration

Fig. 1: Calibration

The change in the gradient is indicated in per cent.

Factory setting: CGA = 100 %.

After a change the calibration can be reset to factory setting.

The parameter CGA is not available if [ModE] = REL is set.

Depending on the set CGA factor, it may not be possible to use the complete measuring range.

5.5 Switching output

OUTx changes its switching status if it is above or below the set switching limits. Hysteresis or window function can be selected.

SP: Set point

rP: Reset point

HY: Hysteresis

Hno: Hysteresis function NO (normally open)

Hnc: Hysteresis function NC (normally closed)

t: Time

Fig. 2: Hysteresis function

When the hysteresis function is set, the set point [SP] and the reset point [rP] are defined. The rP value must be lower than the SP value. The distance between SP and rP is at least 4 % of the final value of the measuring range (= hysteresis). If only the set point is changed, the reset point is changed automatically; the difference remains constant.

FH: Upper limit value

FL: Lower limit value

HY: Hysteresis

FE: Window

Fno: Window function NO (normally open)

Fnc: Window function NC (normally closed)

t: Time

Fig. 3: Window function

When set to the window function the upper limit value [FH] and the lower limit value [FL] are defined. The distance between FH and FL is at least 4 % of the final value of the measuring range. FH and FL 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 flow rate varies slightly.

5.6 Analogue output

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.

For flow measurement in the operating mode REL, ASP and AEP are not available. In this operating mode, the characteristic curve of the analogue output is defined by the flow adjustment: high flow = 20 mA; low flow = 4 mA.

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 a fault, messages are displayed (UL, OL, Err).

The analogue signal in case of an error is adjustable ( → Error behaviour of the outputs ☐ 27):

• [FOU] = On: In case of a fault the analogue signal goes to the upper end stop value (22 mA).
• [FOU] = OFF: In case of a fault the analogue signal goes to the lower end stop value (3.5 mA).
  • [FOU] = OU: The analogue signal still corresponds to the measured value.

1:	Analogue signal	MAW:	Initial value of the measuring range
2:	Measured value	MEW:	Final value of the measuring range
3:	Display range	ASP:	Analogue start point
4:	Measuring range	AEP:	Analogue end point
5:	Scaled measuring range	UL:	Below the display range
Q:	Flow	OL:	Above the display range
T:	Temperature	Err:	Error

5.7 Frequency output

The unit provides a frequency signal proportional to the process value.

The frequency signal is scalable:

- [FrPx] defines the frequency signal in Hz that is provided when the upper measured value (MEW or FEPx) is reached.

The measuring range is scalable:

• [FSP2] defines the lower measured value from which a frequency signal is provided.

– FSP2 is only available for temperature measurement.

- [FEPx] defines the upper measured value at which the output signal has the frequency set under FrPx.

– FEPx is only available for flow measurement in the operating mode GAS.

Minimum difference between FSP2 and FEP2 = 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 frequency signal indicated in the following figure is provided.

For measured values outside the display range or in case of a fault, messages are displayed (UL, OL, Err).

The frequency signal in case of a fault is adjustable ( → Error behaviour of the outputs ☐ 27):

• [FOU] = On: In case of a fault the frequency signal goes to the upper end stop value (130 % FrPx).
• [FOU] = OFF: In case of a fault the frequency signal goes to the lower end stop value (0 Hz).
• [FOU] = OU: The frequency signal still corresponds to the measured value.

5.8 Measured value damping

Use the damping time [dAP] to set after how many seconds the output signal has reached 63 % of the final value if the measured value changes suddenly. The set damping time stabilises the switching outputs, the analogue outputs, the display and the process value transmission via the IO-Link interface.

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

The signals UL and OL are defined under consideration of the damping time.

Measured value damping only has an effect on the measured variable flow.

5.9 Display colour setting

The colour of the characters in the display ( → Display colour setting ☐ 26) can be set via the parameter [coLr]. With the set parameters rED (red) and GrEn (green), the display is permanently set to one colour. If the parameters rxou and Gxou are set, the colour of the characters changes depending on the process value:

	OUT1	OUT2	Colour change to...
Parameter setting	r1ou	r2ou	Red
	G1ou	G2ou	Green

When the hysteresis function is set, the colour changes if the process value is above the set point:

MAW: Initial value of the measuring range

MEW: Final value of the measuring range

SPx: Set point

Fig. 7: Hysteresis function

When the window function is set, the colour changes if the process value is within the window section:

MAW: Initial value of the measuring range

MEW: Final value of the measuring range

FLx: Lower limit of the window section

FHx: Upper limit of the window section

Fig. 8: Window function

5.10 IO-Link

This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which enables direct access to process and diagnostic data. In addition it is possible to set the parameters of the unit while it is in operation. Operation of the unit via the IO-Link interface requires an IO-Link master.

The unit can be locked electronically to prevent unintentional settings. Factory setting: not locked.

Locking:

▶ Make sure that the unit is in the normal operating mode.
▶ Press [▲] and [▼] simultaneously for 10 s until [Loc] displayed.

Unlocking:

▶ Make sure that the unit is in the normal operating mode.
▶ Press [▲] and [▼] simultaneously for 10 s until [uLoc] is displayed.

11.4.9 Factory reset

▶ Select the EF menu.
▶ Select [rES].
▶ Briefly press [●].
▶ Keep [▼] or [▲] pressed.
▷ [----] is displayed.
▶ Briefly press [●].
▷ The unit carries out a reboot.

11.5 Diagnostic functions

11.5.1 Reading minimum values / maximum values

▶ Select the MEM menu.
▶ Select [Lo.x] or [Hi.x] to display the highest or lowest process value measured:
- Lo. F: minimum value of the flow value measured in the process (flow volume or flow velocity)
• Hi. F: maximum value of the flow value measured in the process (flow volume or flow velocity)
- Lo. T: minimum value of the temperature measured in the process
• Hi. T: maximum value of the temperature measured in the process

Delete memory:

▶ Select [Lo.x] or [Hi.x].
▶ Keep [▲] and [▼] pressed.
▷ [----] is displayed.
▶ Briefly press [●].

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

In the operating mode REL a new teaching process deletes the memory.

12 Operation

After power on and expiry of the power-on delay time, 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.

12.1 Process value display

The device keys can be used to switch between different process value displays during operation:

▶ Press [▲] or [▼] until the required display appears.
▷ The display switches between the views. The indicator LEDs signal the unit of the displayed value.
▷ After 30 s, the device returns to the standard display.
