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

Due to the orientation of the device, there may be a shift in the measured value, i.e. for
example, when the container is empty, the PRIMARY_VALUE parameter does not display
zero.
This parameter gives the user the opportunity to perform position adjustment where the
pressure difference between zero (set point) and the measured pressure need not be known.
(A reference pressure is present at the device.)
Example:
– PRIMARY_VALUE = 2.2 mbar
– You correct the PRIMARY VALUE via the
PRESSURE_1_ACCEPT_ZERO_INSTALL_OFFSET parameter with the "Confirm" option.
This means that you are assigning the value 0.0 to the pressure present.
– PRIMARY_VALUE (after pos. zero adjust) = 0.0 mbar
The PRESSURE_1_INSTALL_OFFSET/CALIB. OFFSET parameter (→ Page 38) displays the
resulting pressure difference (offset) by which the PRIMARY_VALUE was corrected.

pressure difference between zero (set point) and the measured pressure need not be known.
(A reference pressure is present at the device.)

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

simulation is possible.
– The simulation mode for the Analog Input Block is active. → See Page 72, parameter
description for SIMULATE.
– The simulation function is switched on in the Diagnostic Transducer Block. →See
Page 61, parameter description for SIMULATION_MODE.
• Input failure: the input value transmitted by the Pressure or Totalizer Transducer Block is
not valid (status BAD). This could be caused by the following:
– The Pressure or Totalizer Transducer Block is in the OOS block mode.
– A device error is present. In the Diagnosis Transducer Block, the DIAGNOSTIC_CODE
parameter (→ Page 62) displays an error code. → See also these Operating Instructions,
Section 11.1 "Messages".
Note!
!
The "Input Failure" block error is transmitted to downstream function blocks or higherorder control systems by means of the status BAD of the output value of the Analog Input
Block OUT.
• Block configuration error: a configuration error is present in the Analog Input Block. This
could be caused by the following:
– A unit was selected by means of the XD_SCALE parameter which does not suit the
input value configured in the CHANNEL parameter.
– A valid input value was not selected by means of the CHANNEL parameter.
→ See Page 67, parameter description for CHANNEL.
– An unsuitable linearisation mode was selected by means of the L_TYPE parameter.
→ See Page 69, parameter description for L_TYPE.
– The "Direct" linearisation mode is selected by means of the L_TYPE parameter. The
scaling for the XD_SCALE and OUT_SCALE parameters do not match.
– If you assign two Analog Input Blocks the same process variable, e.g. "Primary value",
the same scaling values and units must be set for the two blocks.
Assign the output variables (process variables) of the Transducer Blocks "Pressure" or
"Totalizer" to an Analog Input Block as the input value.
Possibilities
• 1: Primary value of the Pressure Transducer Block - a pressure, level or flow value
depending on the measuring mode selected
• 2: Secondary value of the Pressure Transducer Block, here the sensor temperature
• 6: Totalizer 1 from the Totalizer Transducer Block
Factory setting:
• Analog Input Block 1: CHANNEL = 1: Primary value (pressure measured value)
• Analog Input Block 2: CHANNEL = 2: Secondary value (sensor temperature)
• Analog Input Block 3: CHANNEL = 6: Totalizer 1
The FIELD_VALUE parameter is a structured parameter consisting of two elements.
VALUE
• Displays the process variables after input scaling the Analog Input Block. The value refers
to a percentage of the input range XD_SCALE and is replaced by the simulation value
during active simulation.
STATUS
• Displays the current status.
Grant or restrict access rights for a fieldbus host system to the device. This parameter is not
evaluated by Deltabar S and Cerabar S.

Position adjustment – the pressure difference between zero (set point) and the measured
pressure need not be known. (A reference pressure is present at the device.)
Example:
– MEASURED VALUE = 2.2 mbar
– Correct the MEASURED VALUE via the POS. ZERO ADJUST parameter with the
"Confirm" option. This means that you are assigning the value 0.0 to the pressure
present.
– MEASURED VALUE (after pos. zero adjust) = 0.0 mbar
– The current value is also corrected.
The CALIB. OFFSET parameter displays the resulting pressure difference (offset ) by wh ich
the MEASURED VALUE was corrected.

Position adjustment – the pressure difference between zero (set point) and the measured
pressure need not be known. (A reference pressure is present at the device.)
Example:
– MEASURED VALUE = 0.5 mbar
– For the POS. INPUT VALUE parameter, specify the desired set point for the
MEASURED VALUE, e.g. 2 mbar.
(MEASURED VALUE
– MEASURED VALUE (after entry for POS. INPUT VALUE) = 2.0 mbar

When the measuring mode is changed, no conversion takes place. The device has to be
recalibrated if the measuring mode is changed. → See also Page 74, Section 7 "Pressure

Only the first five characters are shown on the on-site display. For example, if "crates" is
specified as the customer-specific unit, "crate" is displayed.
If the unit contains a slash, up to eight characters can be shown on the on-site display.
The maximum number of characters in the counter is again limited to five. For example,
if "crates/m2" is specified as the customer-specific unit, "crate/m2" is displayed. In the
ToF Tool, all eight characters are displayed.

Enter conversion factor for a customer-specific pressure unit.
The conversion factor must be entered in relation to the SI unit "Pa". → See also
CUSTOMER UNIT P.
Prerequisite:
• PRESS. ENG. UNIT = user unit
Example:
– You want the measured value to be displayed in "PU" (PU: packing unit).
– MEASURED VALUE =10000 Pa i 1 PU
– Entry CUSTOMER UNIT P: PU
– Entry CUST. UNIT FACT. P: 0.0001
– Result: MEASURED VALUE = 1 PU
Factory setting:

Enter damping time (time constant τ).
The damping affects the speed at which all subsequent elements, such as the on-site
display, measured value and OUT value of the Analog Input Block react to a change in the
pressure.
