Note!
1.Using the FLOW_TYPE/FLOW_MEAS. TYPE parameter, you can choose between the
following flow types:

2.The unit selected by means of the FLOW_UNIT/UNIT FLOW (→ Page 47) parameter must
suit the flow type selected (FLOW_TYPE/FLOW_MEAS. TYPE).
3.In the lower measuring range, small flow quantities (creepages) can lead to large measured
value fluctuations. You can activate low flow cut-off via the CREEP_FLOW_SUPPRESSION_
ENABLE/LOW FLOW CUT-OFF parameter (→ Page 48).
In this example, the volume flow should be totalised and displayed in the unit m
should be added to the flow rate.

The Totalizer Transducer Block is linked to an Analog Input Block by means of the CHANNEL

limit value at which the totalizer should be reset to zero. As soon as this limit value is overshot, the
Analog Alarm Block sends an alarm value to the downstream Discrete Output Block. This changes
its output from 0 to 1, thereby resetting the totalizer in the Totalizer Transducer Block to 0. The

The MODE_BLK parameter is a structured parameter consisting of four elements.
The Resource Block supports the "Auto" (automatic mode) and OOS (out of service) modes.
TARGET
• Change the block mode.
ACTUAL
• Displays the current block mode.
PERMITTED
• Displays the modes supported by the block.
NORMAL
• Displays the block mode during standard operation.
Displays the time interval in which the dynamic device parameters are stored in the nonvolatile memory. As Cerabar S and Deltabar S do not store dynamic device parameters in the
non-volatile memory, the parameter constantly displays the value 0
1
/32 ms.
Select reset mode.
Options:
• Run: standard operating mode
• Resource: this mode is not supported by Endress+Hauser.
• Defaults: device data and the function block link are reset to the factory setting. The
manufacturer-specific parameters of the Transducer Block are not reset to the factory
setting.
→ See also Operating Instructions BA301P (Deltabar S) or BA302P (Cerabar S),
Section 5.7 "Factory setting" (reset).
• Processor: warm start, of device, new processor start.
• Factory: the function block links, all FF and resettable manufacturer-specific parameters
are reset to the factory setting.
Displays the current status of the Resource Block.
Possibilities:
• Standby: the Resource Block is in the OOS mode (out of service). It is not possible to
execute the remaining blocks.
• Online linking: the configured links between the function blocks have not yet been
established.
• Online: standard block mode, the Resource Block works in the Auto mode. All the
configured links between the function blocks have been established. If a link is missing,
this parameter displays the "online linking" status.
Manually activate the fault state of the Discrete Output function block. → See also this table,
CLR_FSTATE parameter description.
Possibilities:
• Uninititalized
•Off
• Set (the fault state is activated.)
Enter the monitoring time for checking the link between the fieldbus host system and the
PID function block in the RCAS block mode. Once this monitoring time elapses, the PID
function block changes from the RCAS block mode to the block mode selected by means of
the SHED_OPT parameter.

Enter the monitoring time for checking the link between the fieldbus host system and the

Displays the counter for static parameters of the Resource Block
This counter is incremented by one with each change of a static parameter of the Resource
Block. The counter counts up to 65535 and then starts again at zero.
Enter a user-specific value for grouping and thus faster evaluation of the blocks.
Grouping takes place by entering the same numerical value for the STRATEGY parameter of
the block in question. This value is neither checked nor processed by the Resource Block.
Input range:
0...65535
Factory setting:
0
Enter a description for the associated block or the measuring point e.g. TAG number (max.
32 alphanumeric characters).
This parameter is only needed for the FF conformance test and does not have any relevance
during measuring operation.
The UPDATE_EVT parameter is a structured parameter consisting of five elements.
UNACKNOWLEDGED
• This element is set to "Unacknowledged" as soon as a static parameter changes.
UPDATE_STATE
• Displays whether the change was reported.
TIME_STAMP
• Displays the date and time a static parameter was changed.
STATIC_REVISION
• The revision counter is increased when a static parameter changes.
RELATIVE_INDEX
• Displays the altered parameter in the form of the relative index. See also this table,
"Parameter, Index" column.
The WRITE_ALM parameter is a structured parameter consisting of five elements.
UNACKNOWLEDGED
• If the "Deactivated" option was selected for the alarm occurring via the ACK_OPTION
parameter, this alarm can only be acknowledged via this element.
ALARM_STATE
• Status display of the write protection alarm.
TIME_STATE
• Displays the time the alarm occurred.
SUB_CODE
• Displays the reason why the alarm was reported.
VALUE
• Displays the value of the parameter at the time the alarm was reported.

Displays the status of DIP switch 1 on the electronic insert.
You can lock and unlock parameters relevant to the measured value with DIP switch 1. If
operation is locked by means of the SW_LOCK/INSERT PIN No. parameter (→ see Page 28),
you can only unlock operation again by means of this parameter. → See also Operating
Instructions BA301P (Deltabar S) or BA302P (Cerabar S), Section 5.6 "Locking/unlocking
operation".
Possibilities:
• Locked: locking switched on, i.e. the parameters cannot be written to.
• Not Locked: locking switched off. Depending on the block mode in question, the
parameters can be written to (→ see tables, "Parameter", Access column).
Factory setting:
Locked (locking switched off)
Disabling write protection generates an alarm. Use this parameter to specify which priority
should be assigned to this alarm.
Input range:
• 0...15
• 0: The alarm is suppressed.
• 15: Critical alarm with the highest priority.
For entering a code to lock or unlock operation.
Note!
!
• The symbol on the on-site display indicates that operation is locked. Parameters which
refer to how the display appears, e.g. LANGUAGE and DISPLAY CONTRAST can still be
altered.
• If operation is locked by means of the DIP-switch, you can only unlock operation again by
means of the DIP-switch. If operation is locked by means of remote operation, you can
only unlock operation again by means of remote operation.
→ See also Operating Instructions BA301P (Deltabar S) or BA302P (Cerabar S), Section 5.6
"Locking/unlocking operation".
Options:
• Lock: enter a number between 0...9999 which is ≠100.
• Unlock: enter number 100.
Factory setting:
