Reference Conditions
Due to effects of pressure and temperature on the compressibility of
gases, specific reference conditions must be used when reporting
volumetric flow rates in mass flow terms. For example, the unit of measure
SCCM (standard cubic centimeters per minute) refers to a volumetric gas
flow at a standard reference condition, NOT the actual volumetric gas flow
at the actual operating pressure and temperature. The key point is that the
MASS FLOW of the gas is fixed, but the reference volumetric flow can be
reported differently based upon the standard reference condition used in
the calculation.
Throughout the world, there are differences in terminology when describing
reference conditions for gases. The words “normal conditions” and
“standard conditions” are sometimes used interchangeably to describe the
reference STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure) for gases. Further
note that temperature and pressure values for standard or normal
reference conditions vary in countries and industries worldwide. For
example, the Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturing Industry (SEMI)
defines standard temperature and pressure conditions as 273.15 K (0 °C)
and 101,325 Pa (760 torr). The main concern is that no matter what words
are used for descriptive purposes, a gas mass flow rate must have a
defined standard pressure and temperature reference condition when
performing a volumetric conversion.
Biotech Options Packages
The SLA58XX mass flow controllers and meters are available with two
biotech options packages - Performance and Premium - that include a
number of enhanced features designed for the biotech industry and for
bioreactors/fermenters specifically. The specifications are shown in Table
1-2. Instructions for changing between the four available gasses are
included in Section 3 on page 33 of this manual.
PC-based Support Tools
Brooks Instrument offers a variety of PC-based process control and service
tools to meet the needs of our customers. Smart Interface may be used with
any unit supporting RS485 S-Protocol in a multidrop configuration, thus
allowing users to control and monitor their Brooks devices. The Brooks
Expert Support Tool (BEST) may be used to monitor, diagnose, tune and
calibrate Brooks devices equipped with DeviceNet communications. The
Brooks Expert Support Tool interfaces with Brooks products via a special
service port.

RS485 Communications
The Brooks Digital Series is equipped with RS485 communication
capability. Refer to Figure 1-4 (Analog I/O pin connections), that enables
the device to communicate via a personal computer for process control.
Baud rate selections for the Brooks Digital Series related to RS485 are:
1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 and 38400 baud and can be selected via
the Brooks Expert Support Tool (BEST) .
The RS485 is essentially a multidrop connection. It allows a maximum of
32 devices to be connected to a computer system. Personal computers are
not equipped with RS485 ports as standard. An RS232/USB to RS485
converter or RS485 interface board is therefore required to connect an
RS485 network to a standard personal computer. The RS485 bus, a daisy
chain network, meaning that the wires are connected at the units as in Figure 1-1.

Profibus Communications
The Brooks SLA5800 is now equipped to support the Profibus
communication protocol. Profibus is a fieldbus-based automation
standard of Profibus and Profinet International (PI). Via a single bus
cable, Profibus links controller or control systems with decentralized field
devices (sensors and actuators) on the field level and also enables
consistent data exchange with higher ranking communication systems. A
9-pin sub-D connector is included on every device and is galvanic
isolated from the main electronics as defined by the EN 50170 Profibus
standard to allow easy network connection separate from the main
connector. The main 15-pin sub-D connector or termination board is still
needed for the power supply, but also allows for the standard analog I/O
signals, analog valve override, and (open-collector) alarm signaling to be
used separate from the network connection.
The communication electronics allows for automatic baud rate detection
ranging from 9600 baud to 12 Mbaud, thus making the need for any
hardware baud rate selection methods not required. For selecting the
device address, which must be unique on the network, two rotary
switches are provided. This allows a user to easily select any address
number ranging from 0 to 126. This can provide fast device replacement
without complex network configurations. The Profibus-DP piggyback
board is equipped with a zero command pushbutton, allowing the user to
give a manual command to the device to (re)balance the flow sensor
electronics. This command can also be issued through the protocol.
The Profibus-DP communication option supports the following message types:
Get configuration (i.e. read number of I/O bytes and composition).
•
Read diagnostics information (i.e. get error and alarm status).
•
Set parameters (i.e. select gas number, engineering units, I/O configuration
•
Set parameters (i.e. select gas number, engineering units, I/O
configuration etc.).
•
Check configuration (i.e. check I/O composition).

Transit Precautions
Removal from Storage
Gas Connections
In-Line Filter
To safeguard against damage during transit, transport the instrument to the
installation site in the same container used for transportation from the
factory if circumstances permit.
Upon removal from storage, a visual inspection should be conducted to
verify the condition of the equipment is “as received.” If the equipment has
been in storage in conditions in excess of those recommended
(See Section 2-3), the device should be subjected to a pneumatic pressure
test in accordance with applicable vessel codes.
Prior to installation ensure all piping is clean and free from obstructions.
Install piping in such a manner that permits easy access to the instrument
if removal becomes necessary.
Unless an integrated (internal) filter is already installed, it is recommended
that an in-line filter be installed upstream from the mass flow controller or
meter to prevent the possibility of any foreign material entering the flow
sensor or control valve MFC. The filtering element should be replaced
periodically or ultrasonically cleaned.
Table 2-1 Recommended Filter Size
Note: Brooks provides many filter options. For those not listed here, please contact factory.
Page 28
Section 2 Installation

Installation
Recommended installation procedures:
e.
The Brooks Digital MFC or MFM should be located in a clean,
dry atmosphere relatively free from shock and vibration.
f.
Leave sufficient room for access to Self-zero function push-button.
g.
Install in such a manner that permits easy removal if the instrument
requires servicing.
h.
The Brooks Digital MFC or MFM can be installed in any position.
However, mounting in orientations other than the original factory
calibration (see calibration data sheet supplied with the instrument)
can result in a<±0.2% maximum full scale shift after re-zeroing.
i.
When installing a mass flow controller or meter with full scale flow rates
of 10 lpm or greater, be aware that sharp, abrupt angles in the system
piping directly upstream of the controller may cause a small shift in
accuracy. If possible, have at least ten pipe diameters of straight tubing
upstream of the mass flow controller or meter. This is not required for
meters with an integrated filter.

Special considerations for high pressure installations
The SLA-Series mass flow devices are capable of operation in high
pressure applications. To ensure proper operation the user must be aware
of the pressure conditions specified for the device. Inlet and outlet
pressure conditions can be found on the device label and calibration sheet.
The device was sized and tuned to operate at the specified pressure
conditions. If the differential pressure during start up exceeds the specified
differential pressure, hydraulic forces may keep the valve from opening
and/or controlling properly. In these applications it is important to bring the
pressure up in a controlled manner.
One method to assure successful startups is set a 100% setpoint
command or valve override open command and then gently ramp the
pressure up to operating (specified) conditions. This will allow you to bring
your process pressure up to normal operating conditions where the SLA
mass flow controller will function as specified.
Another method is to utilize a bypass valve to allow pressure around the
device while ramping up the back pressure to normal operating conditions.
Special considerations to be taken when installing the SLA5853 MFC:
The Model SLA5853 has a valve design that is different from the standard
low flow Brooks TMFC's. The SLA5853 consists of a dual stage, pilot
operated valve. The pilot valve (located on the top of the MFC) controls a
differential pressure across the main valve which, in turn controls the flow
through the device. The main valve is a pressure operated valve that
utilizes a bellows spring and diaphragm to control flow. This bellows and
diaphragm assembly can be susceptible to damage by pressure spikes or
surges. For this reason, it is recommended that process line startups are
handled with care.
The bellows spring is offered in two levels. A low force for low differential
pressures (Delta P < 30psig), and a high force (delta P >30 and <300 psig).
The selection of the bellows spring is mainly determined by the differential
pressure as specified on the customer order. This should reflect your
actual process conditions.The low force bellows consists of a softer
bellows spring which is required to allow flow control at lower differential
pressures.
During startup conditions, when a process line is being pressurized, the
pressure and/or pressure differentials that the SLA5853 is exposed to may
be different from the final process conditions. For higher pressure
applications, and especially those with the low force bellows, it is important
to bring the pressure up in a controlled manner in order to prevent a
possible pressure spike to the bellows spring and main valve diaphragm. A
pressure spike could deform the bellows, damage the diaphragm or blow
out the bellows O-ring seal. This typically results in a failure to shutoff
(leakby at zero setpoint).
One method to assure successful startups is to set a 100% setpoint
command or valve override open command and then gently ramp the
pressure up to operating conditions. This will allow you to bring your
process pressures up to normal process conditions and the SLA5853
will then function as specified.
Another method is to utilize a bypass valve to allow pressure around the
device while ramping up pressure to proper operating conditions.
Page 30
Section 2 Installation
The main point is to not instantly open a ball valve and allow a high upstream
pressure or high back pressure surge into the SLA5853 main valve.
Proper process line venting is also important. If operating at pressures
greater than 50 psig, be sure to perform a controlled pressure release from
inlet and back pressure simultaneously in order to prevent bellows damage
from excesssive back pressure.
Following careful startup and venting procedures will contribute to a long
problem free life of your SLA5853 controller.
Stable Operating Conditions:
As stated above, the SLA5853 model utilizes a pressure operated main valve.
Valve performance is dependant on stable system pressures. Oscillating or
unstable upstream or downstream pressures are likely to cause the device
flow control to become unstable. For the best performance, it is important to
create a stable pressure environment by utilizing quality inlet and back
pressure regulators in your process design. In many cases, the addition of a
back pressure regulator will isolate the SLA5853 from the unstable
downstream pressures inherent in many process designs.
All thermal mass flow controllers are factory tested with stable and equal
ambient and process temperatures. If the process temperature does not
equal the ambient temperature, the bypass ratio/accuracy will be affected.
When a hot or cold process fluid is being measured, ensure that the piping
system is designed to allow the gas temperature to equalize with the flow
controller ambient temperature.
For more information, please contact the Brooks Technical Service group.
Special considerations to be taken when using Sanitary Fittings:
The maximum recommended product rating of 500 psi is based on published
product specifications of commonly available sanitary clamps. Brooks does not
supply sanitary clamps with the products. Customers shall select the appropriate
sanitary clamps and follow the manufacturers installation instructions to achieve
the needed pressure ratings

Figure 2-4 RS485 Multidrop Interconnection TMFs and PC
The RS485 is a multidrop connection and allows a maximum of 32 devices
to be connected to a computer system. Personal computers are not
equipped with RS485 ports as standard. An RS232 to RS485 converter or
RS485 interface board is therefore required to connect an RS485 to a
standard PC. Figure 2-4 is an interconnection diagram showing two TMFs
linked to a PC, via RS485 and RS485 to RS232 converter. The RS485 bus,
a daisy-chain network, meaning that the wires are connected at the units
as in Figure 2-4.
Protective Earth (PE) Connections:
DeviceNet™: The shield of the cable does not directly short to the device
chassis. In order to achieve proper EMC compliance, the device
conductive chassis shall be connected to protective earth (PE). The
connection can be made via the 8-32 threaded connection on the flow
body of the meter/controller.
Ethernet/IP™: The shields of the RJ45 cables do not directly short to the
device chassis, per ODVA guidelines for an “active device.” The shield of
the power cable does directly connect to the device chassis. In order to
achieve proper EMC compliance, it is recommended to connect the device
conductive to protective earth (PE). The connection can be made via the
8-32 threaded connection on the flow body of the meter/controller.

Other device types: The shields of the power and I/O cables directly
connect to the device chassis. In order to achieve proper EMC
compliance, it is recommended to connect the device conductive to
protective earth (PE). The connection can be made via the 8-32 threaded
connection on the flow body of the meter/controller.

Operation Check Procedure (Analog I/O)
j.
Mount the MFC/MFM in its final orientation.
k.
Apply power to the MFC/MFM and allow approximately 45 minutes for
the instrument to completely warm up and stabilize its temperature.
l.
Do NOT supply gas to the MFC/MFM. Ensure that the differential
pressure across the MFC/MFM is zero.
Turn on the gas supply. A positive flow signal may be present due to
slight valve leak-thru (MFC only).
p.
Supply a setpoint signal between:
0
to 5 Vdc (0 - 5 Vdc setpoint) or 0 to 10 Vdc (0 - 10 Vdc setpoint)
1
to 5 Vdc (1 - 5 Vdc setpoint)
0 to 20 mA (0 - 20 mA setpoint)
4 to 20 mA (4 - 20 mA setpoint)
q.
Check the analog output signal. The output signal should match the
setpoint signal in accordance with the accuracy specifications provided
in Section 1-4 of this document.
r.
If flow output signal does not match the setpoint, and pressure settings
are correct, this could indicate a problem in the MFC. A secondary
issue could be the gas type. When checking with a surrogate gas,
ensure that there is enough pressure to the MFC in order to flow the
correct amount of the surrogate gas.
Example:
Checking an MFC calibrated for 100 ccm SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride).
The sensor factor N
(nitrogen) is 0.27, therefore the eqivalent N
2
needed is 100/0.27 = 370.4 ccm. This may require a pressure
increase to make this flow rate.

Operation Check Procedure (Digital I/O)
s.
Mount the MFC/MFM in its final orientation.
t.
Apply power to the MFC/MFM and allow approximately 45 minutes for
the instrument to completely warm up and stabilize its temperature.
u.
Turn on the gas supply. A positive flow signal may be present due to
slight valve leak-thru (MFC only).
v.
Provide the proper UOM setpoint between 20% and 100% FS to the
MFC via the digital network controller.
w.
Check the MFC Flow value. It should match the setpoint UOM. Value
within ± 0.2% FS in less than 10 seconds after setpoint change.
x.
If flow output signal does not match the setpoint, and pressure settings
are correct, this could indicate a problem in the MFC. A secondary
issue could be the gas type. When checking with a surrogate gas,
ensure that there is enough pressure to the MFC in order to flow the
correct amount of the surrogate gas.
Example:
Checking an MFC calibrated for 100 ccm SF6 (sulfur hexafluoride).
The sensor factor N2 (nitrogen) is 0.27, therefore the equivalent N2
needed is 100/0.27 = 370.4 ccm. This may require a pressure increase
to make this flow rate.
Other problems that may occur in an operational checkout of a Bus/
Network MFC could be due to data mismatches of Input/Output I/O
assemblies. For proper communication over the Bus/Network network, the
MFC must be set up with the same I/O Assembly as the network master.
The Bus/Network specification defines Input and Output relative to the
network (i.e. the data being PRODUCED from the device (MFC) as an
INPUT into the network or the data is being CONSUMED by the device
(MFC) is an OUTPUT from the network).

Features
Note: Not all features are available on all instruments.
Brooks Instrument digital MFC/MFMs are full-featured devices that perform
much like traditional analog MFCs, but with improved accuracy, step response
and valve control. The analog interface matches that of Brooks' popular
analog MFCs so it can be retrofitted into tools using analog MFCs. Other
versions of the Delta Class can provide a variety of digital protocols.
SLA5800 Series Standard
A digital SLA5800 Series Standard MFC is capable of storing up to six
different gas pages. Each page (also) includes a calibration curve, PID
controller settings, valve performance data, and information about the
calibration conditions. The device can contain calibrations for different gases
or for the same gas at multiple conditions (pressures, full scale flow rates).
Calibrations will appear in the calibration table in the same order as they
appeared on the order, unless otherwise specified. The first listed gas will
appear as calibration #1, the second as calibration #2 and so on. Note that
unless specified otherwise on the order any unit containing a single calibration
will have that calibration stored s calibration #1.
The EtherNET/IP™, DeviceNet, Profibus, EtherCAT and RS485 supplemental
manuals describe further details on specific communication features.
SLA5800 Series Biotech
The SLA5800 Series Biotech Devices ships standard with the 4 key
BioPhamracuetical industry gasses: Air, N
in the standard Performance Package option. The device is sized for the
specific gas chosen by the user at time of order, that is the configuration gas.
The calibration curves are obtained by use of N2 as a surrogate gas. If actual
gas is chosen, as an extra cost option (for SLA58X0 and SLA58X1 only),
CO
2
then the device is calibrated on CO2 and N2 surrogate for the remaining
gasses.
Each gas has a “page” that includes a calibration curve, PID controller
settings, valve performance data, and information about the calibration
conditions. The active gas page will be the Configuration Gas, which will be
listed on ordering documents, and the top label of the controller. The other
three gas ranges will also be listed on the controller label.
The operator can change the active gas “page” either through the Brooks
Expert Support Tool (BEST) software available at BrooksInstrument.com or
through the digital communications protocols if the device is so equipped.

BEST, please see the Cal Pages and Flow Cal Pages section of the
Installation and Operations manual for BEST, also available at
BrooksInstrument.com.
The EtherNET/IP™, DeviceNet, Profibus, EtherCAT and RS485 supplemental
manuals describe further details on how to change gases for specific
communication features.
The following paragraphs describe the basic features of the Brooks Digital
Series Mass Flow Meters/Controllers.
Functional Description
The analog interface may include any of the following I/O options as
specified by the user:
Also included is the Valve Override input pin. All analog signals available
are on the 15 pin D-Connector. (See Fig. 2-1 for connections). The
contents of the ten calibrations are determined from the customer order.
Only those calibrations ordered will be available in the instrument. Unless
otherwise specified, a Brooks Digital MFC/MFM ordered with only one
calibration will have that calibration stored in calibration #1.
Before operating the MFC/MFM, apply power and warm-up the instrument
for approximately 45 minutes. After warm-up, apply gas pressure then
proceed by following the instructions in the following sections.
Analog I/O Setpoint (MFC Only)
This input allows the user to establish the MFC setpoint,. Several input
types are available as follows:
Analog I/O Flow Signal
This output is used to indicate the flow signal. A negative flow signal
indicates reverse flow through the device, but is NOT calibrated.
Several flow signal types are available:

35
Valve Override (MFC Only)
Valve Override Input allows the valve to be forced to its most closed state
or its most open state, regardless of setpoint. If this input is not electrically
connected, the MFC will operate according to the current values of the
other MFC inputs. If this input is held at 0 Vdc or -15 Vdc the valve will be
forced to its most closed state. If this input is held at +5 Vdc or greater
(max = 24 Vdc), the the valve will be forced to its open state.
Zeroing the MFC
It may be desirable to re-zero the flow sensor if it is operated at its
temperature extremes or if it is positioned in an attitude other than that
specified on the customer order.
To zero the device’s sensor:
1. Allow the device to be powered on for 45 minutes so that it achieves its
operating temperature.
2. Close the downstream shutoff valve.
The device should be full of process gas with no pressure
differential.
3. Wait at least 30 seconds for the flow signal to drop to zero.
4. Using the device’s Zero pushbutton, zero the device:
- press the pushbutton until the device’s Status LED flashes red, then
release the pushbutton. A successful zeroing
operation is indicated by the Status LED being a steady green.
The zeroing operation can take up to 10 seconds to complete.
Note: Before zeroing the instrument, zero pressure differential MUST be established
across the device. If there is pressure across the instrument during the zero process,
any detected flow through the sensor will be misinterpreted as the zero flow reading.
This will result in calibration inaccuracy during normal operation.
Once zero differential pressure is established and verified, press the recessed,
momentary push-button (zero button) located on the side of the device
(See Figure 3-2) to start the zero function.

Profibus Communications Features
EtherCAT Communications Features
The communication electronics allows for automatic baud rate detection
ranging from 9600 baud to 12 Mbaud, thus making the need for any
hardware baud rate selection methods not required. For selecting the
device address, which must be unique on the network, two rotary switches
are provided. This allows a user to easily select any address number
ranging from 0 to 126. This can provide fast device replacement without
complex network configurations.
The Profibus-DP communication option supports the following message types:
Get configuration (i.e. read number of I/O bytes and composition).
•
Read diagnostics information (i.e. get error and alarm status).
•
Set parameters (i.e. select gas number, engineering units, I/O configuration
•
Set parameters (i.e. select gas number, engineering units,
I/O configuration etc.).
•
Check configuration (i.e. check I/O composition).
The SLA5800 Series is also available with the state-of-the-art
EtherCAT communications interface. Many applications of Flow
Controllers/Meters are moving to increase the use of
automation. Automation comes in many forms including
Ethernet based field buses. Digital communications from these
varied systems and the devices they measure and control, are
a very effective means of not only accomplishing more effective
and rapid system integration, but also providing greatly
improved system diagnostics and maintainability.
EtherCAT is an Ethernet based communication system and is known for its
high cycle time and cost efficient cabling and master application solutions.
The available physical interfaces on the EtherCAT device are listed below:
•
5 pin M8 threaded male connector for power and Analog l/O, indicated by “pwr”.
•
ln and Out ports with RJ-45 connectors.
•
2.5mm female jack for RS485 diagnostic port indicated by “DlAG” (refer
to the SLA 5800 Series installation and operation manual for more details)

•
Hardware/Software versions etc.
Various companies provide EtherCAT master applications, (e.g. TwinCAT
from Beckoff), or offer EtherCAT master stacks to develop a master
application (e.g. Acontis, A P.C.) can be used to run most EtherCAT master
applications but needs dedicated EtherCAT hardware to support the high
cycle times and kernel mode operations of the master applications, see
www.beckoff.com.
Alarms (Analog versions only)
This section outlines alarms associated with the Analog versions of the
Brooks Digital Series.
For information describing alarms specifically for Brooks DeviceNet units,
reference the following supplemental manual:
X-DPT-DeviceNet-SLA5800-SLAMf-Series-RevB-MFC-eng
Part Number: 541B190AAG.
For information describing alarms specifically for Brooks Profibus units,
reference the following supplemental manual:
X-DPT-Profibus-SLA5800-SLAMf-Series-RevB-MFC-PC-RT-eng
Part Number: 541B191AAG.
Alarms are a user configurable feature. This feature may be adjusted via
the Diagnostics Port using a special software application available from
Brooks. Reference the Brooks Expert Support Tool (BEST) User Manual
for more information about the Diagnostic Port and software application.
Each alarm has the following common user configurable attributes:
Alarm Code - The alarm code specifies the code to be flashed on the LED
to indicate that an alarm condition has occurred. When more than one
alarm is active, then the LED will indicate the most severe alarm with the
highest Alarm Code. Alarm Codes do not have to be unique, i.e., more than
one alarm type can use the same alarm code.
Connector Pin 3, on the 15 pin D-Connector also provides an open
collector TTL output that will close depending on the alarm situation and the
alarm settings for remote monitoring of alarms.

Diagnostic Alarm to occur can be determined only by reading alarm status
via the Diagnostics Port.
DiagnosticFailure Description
detects bad memory location
Several alarms are available to indicate unexpected process control events
as follows:
Flow Alarms
Two flow alarms are provided. Each allows the user to set a minimum and
maximum flow limit range. Whenever flow is not within the range, the alarm
will occur. These two general flow alarms provide more flexibility than
having specific low and high flow alarms. These two alarms may be used
to create separate low and high flow alarms, or used to provide banding
around a flowrate. If the device is a controller, then this alarm is disabled if
the setpoint is not within the specified flow limits or if the valve override is
active.
No Flow Indication Alarm
The No Flow Indication Alarm will occur when the measurement of flow
indicates flow less than a value that can be configured to 0 - 2%. If the
device is a controller, setpoint must exceed the configured limit and valve
override must not be active for this alarm to occur.
Setpoint Deviation Alarm
The Setpoint Deviation Alarm monitors the difference between Setpoint
and Flow and sets the alarm when the difference exceeds the specified
limits for more than the specified delay period. The user specifies a
minimum and maximum limit in percent of Setpoint. This alarm is disabled
if the valve override is active.
Temperature Out of Limits
The Temperature Out of Limits alarm will occur when the internal
temperature is below the low limit or above the high limit.
Totalizer Overflow Alarm
The Totalizer Overflow Alarm will occur when the Flow Totalizer reaches its
maximum value and resets to zero. This alarm is permanently configured
as a latching type alarm which requires the user to reset the alarm via the
Service Port or the RS485 interface.
Page 47
Section 3 Operation

Calibration/Configuration Sets
Special Features
Internal Power Supply Failure
This alarm will occur when any internally generated power supply voltage
falls outside operational limits. Internal supply voltages must be within their
nominal limits.
Valve Drive Out of Limits
The Valve Drive Out of Limits alarm will occur when the valve drive is
below the low limit or above the high limit.
Device Calibration Due
The Device Calibration Due alarm occurs after the specified elapsed hours
indicating that the device requires recalibration. The default setting is 8760
hours, equivalent to one year. The alarm will be cleared either by disabling
it or changing the setting.
All Flow Calibration parameters and some of the device configuration
parameters are saved in the device Non-Volatile Memory as “sets”. Up to
6 sets of calibration/configuration sets can be saved in order to have a unit
pre-configured for multiple gas calibration, different pressure conditions,
multiple scalings of the same gas.
Calibration and configuration data sets may be adjusted by an advanced
user via the Diagnostics Port using a special software application available
from Brooks. Reference the Brooks Expert Support Tool User Manual
(BEST) for more information about the Diagnostic Port and software
application.
Flow Calibration Options
In addition to the factory calibration polynomial, the following calibration
options are provided to modify the factory calibration:
-
Gas Correction Factor
-
Calibration Scaling
-
User Calibration Polynomial
Configuration Options
The following configuration parameters are stored in the Calibration/
Configuration Sets:
-
P, I, and D
-
Valve Offset, Span, and Leaktight Offset
-
Pole Compensation and filtering
Special Features may be adjusted by an advanced user via the
Diagnostics Port using a special software application available from
Brooks. Reference the Brooks Expert Support Tool User Manual (BEST)
for more information about the Diagnostic Port and software application.

PC-based Support Tools
The following Setpoint Ramping Options are provided:
Off – The device responds immediately to Setpoint changes.
Time – The device will Ramp Flow from the old Setpoint to the new
Setpoint in the time specified by the user in seconds.
When the Setpoint is derived from analog input, the Low Setpoint
Command Cutoff parameter sets the minimum valid value of Setpoint. If
the Setpoint value reported by the analog input is below the Low Setpoint
Command Cutoff parameter value, then the Setpoint will be set to zero.
Whenever the measured flow is below the Low Flow Output Cutoff
parameter, the Flow Output will be set to zero.
Adaptive Valve Control is a means of dynamically adjusting valve offset and
span in response to changing process conditions. Options for Adaptive
Control are: On/Off, Adjust Offset Only, Adjust Offset and Span.
A Flow Totalizer will be provided and maintained in Non-Volatile Memory.
The update rate of the totalizer in Non-Volatile Memory will be 5 seconds.
Brooks Instrument offers a variety of PC-based process control and service
tools to meet the needs of our customers. Smart Interface may be used with
any unit supporting RS485 in a multidrop configuration, thus allowing users to
control and monitor their Brooks devices. The Brooks Expert Support Tool
(Analog I/O versions only) may be used to monitor, diagnose, tune and

Troubleshooting Analog or Digital
Troubleshooting
This section contains suggestions to help diagnose MFC related problems
in the gas distribution system and answers commonly asked questions.
Failure of the flow rate or flow signal to achieve setpoint.
1. Insufficient pressure drop across the MFCs (low or no pressure). If there
is not enough pressure differential across the MFC, it is impossible for
the MFC's orifice to pass the full scale flow rate. To check for this
condition, compare the actual inlet/outlet pressure drop with that
specified on the order. Increase the pressure if necessary.
2. If pressure settings are correct and flow signal does not match setpoint,
a secondary issue could be the gas type. If checking the MFC with a
surrogate gas, ensure that there is enough pressure to the MFC in
order to flow the correct amount of the surrogate gas. You may have to
calculate the equivalent flow using the thermal correction factors. Ex.: a
device built and sized for hydrogen will have a small orifice and will be
unable to achieve higher flows of a heavier gas such as N2.
3. Clogged sensor tube. If the MFC sensor tube is clogged, the flow signal
will be very low or zero while the actual flow will be at the valve's
maximum rate, also, the valve is likely to drive to max opening (100%).
4. Flow signal matched setpoint but, actual flow is not correct.
Clogged restrictor. If the MFC's restrictor becomes clogged, a much
larger flow stream will pass through the sensor rather than going
straight through the restrictor. The symptom of this condition is a
substantially reduced actual flow with a flow signal which matches the
setpoint.
5. Flow rate in excess of 100% at zero setpoint.
Valve Override pin set to open or sensor tube is clogged (see above). If
Valve Override (VOR) pin is active, the valve will be forced open or
closed. Set this pin to its normal level before setting a setpoint.
6. Flow/Flow signal 'Unstable'
Model SLA5800 Series MFC performance is tuned during calibration at
the conditions specified on the order. If the conditions in use (inlet and
outlet pressure, temperature, attitude, gas or mixture type) are different
or become different over time, the MFC may not perform as it did when
it left the factory.
Bus System Devices Version Only
7. Failure of the flow rate or flow signal to achieve setpoint.
Specifically for a bus system device MFC, there may be problems
associated with the network communication link. One common problem
is due to data mismatches of the Input/Output (I/O) Assemblies. For
proper communication over a bus system device network, the MFC
must be set up with the same I/O assembly as the network master.
Confirm these I/O settings are correct.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What are the purposes of the LEDs on top of the MFC?
A: For EtherNET/IP and DeviceNet, there are two LEDs on top of a
version MFC. The LED labeled 'MOD' is used to indicate module status
( please reference the Brooks DeviceNet or therNET/IP
Instruction Manual for more detail). This LED should normally be lit
steady GREEN: this signifies the MFC is in proper working mode. If the
'MOD' LED is lit steady RED, this signifies a critical fault has occurred
in the MFC. Please contact the factory for instructions.
The LED labeled 'NET' is used to indicate NETWORK status. Note the
'NET' LED can have 4 distinct operational states for DeviceNet, and 5
distinct states for EtherNET/IP. For more complete details on these
LEDs, reference the Brooks DeviceNet or EtherNET/IP
Instruction Manual.
Q: What is purpose of the Rotary Switches on top of the MFC?
A: Two of the rotary switches are labeled 'ADDRESS' (DeviceNET only).
These two switches are used to configure the MAC ID of the MFC when
used on the DeviceNet network. MAC ID stands for Media Access
Control Identifier and is used to set the unique address of the device on
the network. The possible range of addresses is 00 to 63. The out-ofbox MAC ID setting is 63. The third rotary switch is labeled 'RATE'. This
switch sets the baud rate of the MFC for communicating over the
DeviceNet network. The out-of-box default setting is 125K baud. For
more complete details on these switches, reference the Brooks
DeviceNet Supplement Instruction Manual.
The Brooks Digital Series Flowmeters and Controllers are generally used
as a component in gas handling systems, which can be complex in nature.
It can therefore be very difficult to isolate a malfunction in the system. An
inaccurately diagnosed malfunction can cause many hours of unnecessary
downtime. If possible, perform the following system checks before
removing a suspect Mass Flow Meter or Controller for bench
troubleshooting or return to the factory. (especially if the system is new):

Bench Troubleshooting
1.
Establish a proper connection between the Brooks Digital Series Mass
Flow Meter or Controller (using Figure 4-1 as a reference) Switch on
the power and allow the instrument to warm-up for 45 minutes. In case
of a Controller model, adjust the Setpoint to zero. Do not connect the
device to a gas source yet. Observe the output signal and, if necessary,
perform the zero adjustment procedure (See Section 3-4 zeroing
function). If the output signal does not zero properly, please contact
Brooks Instrument.
2.
Connect the instrument to a source of the same gas used for it's
original calibration. Regulate the Setpoint to 100% flow and adjust the
inlet and outlet pressures to calibration conditions. Verify that the output
signal reaches its full scale value and stabilizes at that value. Vary the
command voltage over the 1 to 100% range and verify that the output
signal follows the Setpoint If possible, connect a flow measurement
device to monitor the actual flow behavior and verify the accuracy of the
mass flow instrument. If the mass instrument performs as described
above, then it is functioning correctly and the problem may lie
elsewhere.
Table 4-2 lists possible malfunctions which may be encountered during
bench troubleshooting.For Controller Models Only: Apply +5 Vdc to the +15 Vdc valve override pin
(pin 12) and verify that the output exceeds 100%. Connect the valve
override pin to earth and verify that the output signal falls below 2%.

Troubleshooting
Cleaning Procedures
When deposition makes it necessary to clean the Brooks Digital Series
Mass Flow Controller or Mass Flow Meter, use the following procedures:
10. Remove the unit from the system.
11. Purge with dry nitrogen gas, which removes virtually all
particulate matter from the device. Should contamination persist,
1
subject all wetted
components to ultrasonic cleaning. Following
this, purge the device thoroughly with dry nitrogen gas once again.
12. If the sensor is contaminated, remove the sensor and use a
hemostat or tweezers to push a 0.007" diameter piano wire through
the
flow-sensor tube to remove any contamination (end closest to the
control valve). The sensor tube can then be flushed with a solvent that
leaves no residue. This can be accomplished conveniently using a
hypodermic needle filled with solvent.
NOTE: Do not soak the sensor assembly in a cleaning solvent. If solvent
seeps into the sensor assembly, it will likely damage or significantly alter
the sensor's operating characteristics.
Calibration Procedure
The calibration of Brooks Digital Series Mass Flow devices is not described
in this manual. Such calibration requires accurate and traceable calibration
equipment in addition to digital communications.
If your device needs calibration Brooks Instrument can provide this service
at one of its service locations. Visit www.BrooksInstrument.com to locate
the service location nearest to you. However, if traceable calibration
equipment is available at your facility, calibration software, along with
training, is available for purchase.
