10 Set-up

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.

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)
• ON for detection of direction (dir. F)
• OFF for frequency output (FRQ)
• OFF for consumed quantity monitoring (ImP)
• 20 mA for analogue output (I)

When an IO-Link master is connected, the device automatically goes from SIO mode (standard input-output) into IO-Link mode if the port of the master is set to IO-Link mode.

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:

Fig. 9: Hysteresis function

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)

When the hysteresis function is set, the set point SP and the reset point rP are set. The rP value must be lower than the SP value. The difference between SP and rP is at least 0.5 % 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.

Window function:

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. 10: Window function

When set to the window function, the window high FH and the window low FL are set. The difference between FH and FL is at least 0.5% 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 helps keep the switching status of the output stable if the flow rate varies slightly.

Parameter setting via unit keys: Switching signal

√ Standard unit of measurement is selected: EF > CFG > uni.x.
▶ Go to EF > OUTx to configure output OUTx.
▶ Select SELx and set the process value: FLOW or TEMP.

Hysteresis function:

▶ Select ou 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 ou 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.

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

11.3.2 Switching signal Diagnosis

The unit features an integrated diagnostic function. When using the diagnostic function, the output is used exclusively for diagnostic message output, which it indicates by a switched signal.

The switching output is switched on in normal operation (normally closed) and the switching status LED lights yellow.

If the unit detects a diagnostic case, the output is switched off and the switching status LED goes out.

Diagnostic cases include:

• Reversal of the direction of flow ➞ 31.
• Low signal quality / no signal ➞ 31.

11.3.2.1 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).

LFC = Low flow cut-off: Low flow cut-off → 40. The unit of the minimum flow rate corresponds to the selection under uni. F.

Fig. 11: 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 → 41.

Parameter setting via unit keys: switching signal for flow direction

▶ Go to the EF > OUTx menu.
▶ Select oux and set dOU.
▶ Select dOUx and set Fdir.

11.3.2.2 Switching signal for signal quality

The unit can provide a switching signal when the signal quality deviates from normal operation.

The signal quality of the sensor can be affected by irregularities in the medium (e.g. strong turbulences, air bubbles, particles or build-up).

The unit detects the signal quality in three stages:

Signal quality	Explanation	Operating status LED	Switching output
Normal	The unit operates without restrictions (normal operation).	Lights green	On
Low	The signal quality is disturbed, but the unit is still working within its specifications.	Lights blue	OFF
No signal	No medium is present or no signal can be created.	Flashes red	OFF

Parameter setting via unit keys: switching signal for signal quality

▶ Go to the EF > OUTx menu.
▶ Select oux and set dOU.
▶ Select dOUx and set Sig. Q.

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.

Totaliser	Process value	Read access via IO-Link
Vol.1	Consumed quantity 1(This value is used for consumed quantity monitoring by switching or pulse signals)	Cyclic
Vol.2	Consumed quantity 2	Acyclic
Vol. L	Consumed 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 → 42.

- The totalisers Vol.1 and Vol.2 take account of the following parameter settings when totalising the consumed quantity:

1. Flow direction ➕ 41.

2. Counting method of the totalisers ➞ 44.

3. Low flow cut-off ➞ 40.

- 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 ➕ 51.

The totaliser saves the totalled consumed 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 one minute.

- 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 → 33.

→ Pulse signal totaliser → 33.

OUT1 and OUT2 cannot be used simultaneously for the consumed quantity monitoring.

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 ➞ 44.

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.

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.

→ Totaliser reset → 42.

Within the measuring range the analogue signal is between 4...20 mA.

The measuring range can be scaled between -100% and 100% of the final value of the measuring range.

A negative flow value means flow against the flow direction set under [Fdir] ➕ 41.

- ASP2 determines at which measured value the output signal is 4 mA.

• AEP2 determines at which measured value the output signal is 20 mA.

Minimum distance between ASP2 and AEP2 = 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).

11.4.11 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:

FProx	Counting method
0+	Negative volumetric flow values (against the marked flow direction) are not taken into account for totalling.
-0	Positive volumetric flow values (corresponding to the marked flow direction) are not taken into account for totalling.
-+	Negative flow values are subtracted from the consumed quantity.
++	All volumetric flow values are totalled irrespective of the volumetric 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) → 32.

• volumetric flow quantity in preferred direction (= positive flow direction).
• volumetric flow quantity in non-preferred direction (= negative 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

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

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

Reading via unit keys: memory

▶ Go to the EF > DIAG menu.
▶ Read the value for the minimum and maximum stored process value.

11.6.6 Operating hours counter

The operating hours since the first set-up are stored by the unit.

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

The counter cannot be reset.

Reading via unit keys: operating hours

▶ Go to the EF > DIAG menu.
▶ Select Operating hours and read value.

11.6.7 Internal temperature

The sensor measures the internal temperature.

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

A high internal temperature is signalled by the unit as follows:

• warning via operating status LED.
- reduced brightness or deactivation of display.

If the unit measures a high internal temperature, the display brightness is automatically adjusted:

Internal temperature of the unit > 64 °C: brightness is reduced to 25%.

Internal temperature of the unit ≥ 90 ° C: display is automatically switched off.

Reading via unit keys: internal temperature

▶ Go to the EF > DIAG menu.
▶ Select Internal temperature and read value.

11.6.8 Signal quality

The signal quality of the sensor can be affected by irregularities in the medium (e.g. strong turbulences, air bubbles, particles or build-up).

The unit detects the signal quality in three stages:

Signal quality	Explanation	Operating status LED
Normal	The unit operates without restrictions (normal operation).	Lights green
Low	The signal quality is disturbed, but the unit is still working within its specifications.	Lights blue
No signal	No medium is present or no signal can be created.	Flashes red

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

In addition, the signal quality can be indicated via a switching signal and/or an LED colour signal. See also:

• Switching signal for signal quality ➕ 31
  • Operating status LED ➞ 50

Reading via unit keys: signal quality

▶ Go to the EF > DIAG menu.
▶ Select Signal quality and read value.

11.6.9 Simulation

This function is used to simulate process values or error states and check the sensor behaviour.

The simulation time is adjustable: 1...60 minutes.

The following values can be simulated:

• process values for flow and temperature
- process values outside the measuring range (cr. UL, UL, OL, cr. OL)
- The consumed quantity of totaliser Vol.1, taking into account the set counting method

During the simulation:

• The title line of the display shows that the simulation is active.
  • The simulated values are shown on the display:
  – Simulated process values or events (e.g. UL) for flow and temperature.
  – Simulated totaliser Vol.1. The totaliser starts at 0.
• The operating status LED lights according to the simulated values: green for normal operation, flashing red for measured values outside the measuring range.
• The switching status LEDs are on according to the simulated values and the set output configuration.
• The original totaliser values remain saved without any changes. A real flow during the simulation is not counted.
• The display does not show warning or error messages of the current real application.

If the simulation is started via IO-Link, it can also only be finished via IO-Link. If you try to stop the simulation using the device keys, ☑ will be displayed.

Parameter setting via unit keys: simulation

▶ Select EF > SIM.
▶ Select S. FLW and set the flow value to be simulated.
▶ Select S. TMP and set the temperature value to be simulated.
▶ Select S. Tim and set the time of the simulation in minutes.
▶ Select S. On and set the function:
- On: The simulation starts. The values are simulated for the time set under S. Tim. Abort by pressing any key.
• OFF: The simulation is not active.

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.

In addition, warnings and error messages are displayed by the unit as follows:

• switching signal when using OUT1 or OUT2 as diagnostic output.
  See also Switching signal Diagnosis ➞ 30.

• colour signal of the operating status LED.

See also: Operating status LED ➕ 50.

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

Additional diagnostic functions are available via IO-Link ➕ IO-Link interface description at documentation.ifm.com.
