Basic measurement and control parameters

The list below provides the most basic parameters for digital communication with the instrument.

For more detailed information regarding operation parameters, see document nr. 9.17.023: Operational

instructions for digital instruments.

The ‘Measured Value’ indicates the amount of mass flow or pressure metered by the instrument. The signal of

0...100% will be presented in a range of 0...32000. The maximum measured value output is 131.07 %, which is: 41942.

A floating point variable of the measured value, ‘Fmeasure’, is also available in the capacity and capacity unit for which

the instrument has been set, see section 4.

The ‘Setpoint’ is used to set the required mass flow rate or pressure for the controller. The signals have the same

range as the measured value, only the setpoint is limited between 0 and 100% (0…32000). A floating point variable of

the setpoint, ‘Fsetpoint’, is also available in the capacity and capacity unit for which the instrument has been set, see

section 4.

The ‘User Tag’ parameter allows the user to give the instrument a custom tag name, with a maximum of 16 characters.

It is advised however to limit the user tag name up to 7 characters when using the Bronkhorst® E-7000 readout and

control modules. These modules can display the tag name of an instrument only up to 7 characters.
