1/0


The measured value indicates the amount of mass flow metered by the instrument. The signal of 0...100% will be
presented in a range of 0...32000. The maximum signal to be expected is 131.07 %, which is: 41942.

33/0


Floating point version of variable measure (see 3.5.2). The user can read-out the measured value in the capacity and
capacity unit for which the instrument has been calibrated. These settings depend on variables: capacity, capacity unit,
sensor type and capacity 0%. Fmeasure is a read-only float on (FLOW-BUS) proc 33, par 0. Value is calculated as
follows:

Fmeasure = ((Measure / 32000) * (Capacity - Capacity0%)) + Capacity0%

Fmeasure: proc 33, par 0
Measure: proc 1, par 0
Capacity: proc 1, par 13
Capacity0%: proc 33, par 22
The value is in units as described in parameter capacity unit (proc 1, par 31).

After power-up the control mode will always be set to DIGITAL_INPUT or ANALOG_INPUT, depending on customer’s
requirement.
