NT INTEGRATED FLOW CONTROLLER WITH DEVICENET COMMUNICATION
Introduction
This manual is for use with standard
NTTM Integrated Flow Controllers with
DeviceNetTM communication, Model
6500. These instruments have been
designed for use in high-purity applications in the semiconductor industry.
The wetted parts are constructed
with PTFE, PFA or other similar
high-purity inert materials.
WARNING! Attempting to install
or operate standard NT Integrated
Flow Controllers without reviewing the instructions contained
in this manual could result in
personal injury or equipment
damage.
IDENTIFYING NONSTANDARD
PRODUCT CONFIGURATIONS
—
This User Guide applies to product
manufactured as the standard NT
Integrated Flow Controller. Entegris
also manufactures nonstandard product to meet the needs of specific
applications. Nonstandard product
may have dierent materials of construction, accuracy specifications,
performance and other specifications
that dierentiate the nonstandard
product from the standard oering.
NOTE: Nonstandard NT Integrated Flow
Controllers may be identified by the
model number found on the product
label. Specifications for nonstandard
NT Integrated Flow Controllers are
available by contacting Entegris.
Nonstandard NT Integrated Flow
Controllers, Model 6500 product line,
are identified with an “M" followed by
a number code.
Example part number:
6500-T2-F02-AM12-D-P7-U3-M02
The “M02" designates the product
as a nonstandard product manu-
factured to certain specifications
designated under the “M02" code.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
—
The user provides a setpoint signal
that corresponds to the desired
amount of flow. The standard NT
Integrated Flow Controller compares
the setpoint to the actual flow signal
from the flow module. If the actual
flow is greater than the setpoint, the
unit closes the valve. If the actual
flow is less than the setpoint, the unit
opens the valve. The flow controller
does this in a precise manner until
the actual flow signal is equal to the
setpoint.

FACTORY CONFIGURED
—
The standard NT Integrated Flow
Controller is pre-configured from the
factory for the flow range specified
by the user. The specified flow range
is found on the label of the unit. The
unit control algorithm uses pressure
and flow measurements to ensure
proper operation within specification.
CONTROL MODE FUNCTIONS
—
There are two types of control mode
functions defined for this product:
Normal Operation: A setpoint input
of <5% of full scale will cause the
valve to close to a leak tight seal.
This is for batch applications where
the user is dispensing a given flow
rate for a given period of time.
Actuator Override: An actuator
override DeviceNet communication
message is sent to suspend control
and leave the valve in its present
position, regardless of setpoint
input value.
immediately resume operation.
Autozero is a selectable option
through DeviceNet communication
messaging with a default setting of
‘enabled’. It will not increase system
response time. The autozero routine
will determine DP zero values based
on a weighted average routine.

General Considerations
NOTE: The flow controller has been
factory sealed. Do not attempt to
remove the cover of the unit. Any
attempt at removal of the unit cover
will void the warranty.
LINE PRESSURE
—
The system line pressure (measured
at the inlet of the unit) must be
between 69 to 414 kPa (10 and
60 psig). The minimum operating
pressure is 69 kPa (10 psig).
PRESSURE DROP
—
The minimum pressure drop (dierential pressure) required for the unit
is 69 kPa (10 psid).
For example, if the flow controller
is operating at an inlet pressure of
103 kPa (15 psig) and outputs the
flow to a pressurized canister, which
is pressurized to 69 kPa (10 psig), the
pressure available to the unit will be
34 kPa (5 psid) (i.e., 103 kPa [15 psig]
inlet pressure minus 69 kPa [10 psig]
back pressure is 34 kPa [5 psid] available pressure drop). This scenario
does not meet the pressure drop
requirement of 69 kPa (10 psid) and
the unit may not perform within
specification. For this example,
either increase the inlet pressure or
decrease the back pressure to obtain
a 69 kPa (10 psid) pressure drop.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE
—
The flow controller is designed to
operate in room temperature cleanroom environments: 10° to 30°C
(50° to 86°F). The unit must be
re-zeroed at operating temperature
conditions for the accuracy specifications to apply.
PROCESS TEMPERATURE RANGE
—
The range of acceptable process
temperatures is 10° to 65°C (50° to
149°F). The flow controller must be
re-zeroed at operating temperature
conditions for the accuracy specification to apply. PFA isolators are recommended for process temperatures
higher than 50°C (122°F). Applications
involving hydrofluoric acid (HF) with
temperatures above 30°C (86°F) must
contact the factory for recommended materials of construction. Positive
pressure must be maintained at
all times.
4User Guide | Entegris, Inc.
NT INTEGRATED FLOW CONTROLLER WITH DEVICENET COMMUNICATION
STORAGE TEMPERATURE RANGE
—
The flow controller will withstand
storage temperatures between
-40° and 50°C (-40° and +122°F)
for at least a 24-hour period with
no permanent eect on device
performance.
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
—
The power supply range for the
standard NT Integrated Flow Controller is 24 VDC ±10%.
The power supply must provide
continuous 1.0 A (nominal) current
for each flow controller installed.
Peak power consumption is 1.2 A,
maximum.
The power supply to the flow controller must provide clean power to
the unit and must be used only to
power similar measurement-type
devices. The power supply must
not be used to power other inductive
loads, such as motors, relays or solenoids. These devices may produce
electrical transients that may aect
unit measurements. An induced
power spike, creating an interruption
in power greater than 10 msec in
duration, may cause the unit to reset.
DEVICENET CABLE
—
The power supply range of the
DeviceNet cable is 24 VDC ±10%,
150 mA nominal current.
In addition to providing clean power,
all power communication cables
must not be run within the same
conduit or cable along with heavy
current demands from motors,
charging capacitors or other inductive loads. This may cause a voltage
change within the instrumentation
signal line, causing erroneous output
readings from the flow controller.
Loss of power will not cause the loss
of any system parameters or calibration values.
DEVICENET COMMUNICATION
—
The DeviceNet communication shall
meet the physical layer communications requirements in the referenced
ODVA DeviceNet standard. Briefly,
this is a 5 wire (V+, V-, CAN_H,
CAN_L, Drain) physical layer based
on the CAN protocol.

Switches
Two, ten-position, rotary switches
used for configuring the Media
Access Control Identifier (MACID)
of the flow controller. These switches
specify the MACID using decimal
representation. One switch specifies
the most significant digit (MSD), or
tens position of the MACID. The
second switch specifies the least
significant digit (LSD) or the ones
position of the MACID. DeviceNet
allows MACIDs with values 0 – 63.
The “PGM" label indicates the software programmable switch positions.
DeviceNet Data Rate Switch
A single, ten-position rotary switch
used for configuring the baud rate
of the flow controller. The switch
has positions for the three valid,
DeviceNet data rates, 125, 250 and
500 Kbaud. Switch position 0 selects
125 Kb, position 1 selects 250 Kb, and
position 2 selects 500 Kb. The “PGM"
label indicates the software programmable switch positions.
Reverse Polarity Protection
The flow controller is reverse polarity
protected; connecting the 24 VDC
power to the incorrect positive and
ground wires will not harm the unit.
To operate properly, the polarity must
be correct.
Over-Voltage on any Wire (DC)
The flow controller will withstand
the continuous application of 30 VDC
on any wire without compromising
the unit.
Over-Voltage on any Wire (AC)
The flow controller is not designed to
withstand the accidental application
110 /220 VAC to any wire. Application
of AC voltage will damage the unit.
Short Protection
The flow controller will not be
damaged or compromised in any
way if any combination of wires
are shorted together.

Unit Operation
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
—
Operating Temperature
The flow controller is designed to
operate in ambient temperature,
cleanroom environments. The unit
is specified to operate at tempertures
between 10° and 65°C (50° and
149°F). PFA sensor isolators are recommended for process temperatures above 40°C (104°F). Contact the
factory for recommended materials
of construction for applications
involving hydrofluoric acid (HF) with
temperatures above 30°C (86°F).
When the process fluid is above
ambient temperatures 23°C (73°F),
the system will experience slight
accuracy errors due to instrument
warm-up and changes in viscosity
and specific gravity of the liquid.
The unit must be re-zeroed after
any temperature change. Please
see the Maintenance Section on
page 19 to perform the re-zero.
Eects of Fluid Viscosity and
Specific Gravity
The flow controller has been factory
calibrated using deionized water.
Fluids with viscosities and/or specific
gravity dierent from the calibration
fluid (water) will cause slight accuracy
errors. Correction factors for viscosity
and specific gravity changes may be
obtained from Entegris by calling or
following the sensing and control
product links at www.entegris.com.
Power-up Characteristics
When power is first applied to the
flow controller, the flow will be within
2% of the setpoint value in less than
10 seconds and within specification
after 5 minutes. As part of the powerup routine, the unit will perform a
homing routine that re-establishes
the unit’s fully closed position. This
routine requires the valve to shut
completely for no more than
8 seconds, then to the position
dictated by the setpoint input.
Unit Enclosure
The standard NT Integrated Flow
Controller cover is factory sealed
and should not be tampered with
or opened. Spray-down will not
compromise the performance of
the unit.
NOTE: Any attempt to remove, tamper
or open the flow controller cover will
void the warranty.
PERFORMANCE
—
Operating Pressure Requirements
The flow rate is calculated using
Entegris’ dierential pressure flow
technology. The minimum operating
pressure is 69 kPa (10 psig). The minimum pressure drop (dierential
pressure) required for the flow
controller is 69 kPa (10 psid).
CAUTION! The flow controller may
be damaged if it is subjected to any
level of vacuum pressure (less than
atmospheric pressure).
14User Guide | Entegris, Inc.
NT INTEGRATED FLOW CONTROLLER WITH DEVICENET COMMUNICATION
NOTE: To perform within specification,
the available inlet pressure must be
69 kPa (10 psid) greater than the outlet
pressure (69 kPa [10 psid] dierential
pressure).
Flow Accuracy
The accuracy of the flow measurement is ±1% of full scale from
20–100% of the flow range. The
accuracy of the flow measurement
is ±2.5% of full scale from 10–20%
of the flow range. The accuracy
spec ification includes the eects of
linearity, hysteresis and repeatability,
using deionized water at 23°C (73°F).
The accuracy between 0–10% of full
scale flow range is not specified.
Flow accuracy is verified by testing
the unit at stable conditions for a
period of 20 seconds or longer using
deionized water at 23°C (73°F).
To meet the accuracy specification,
a re-zero is required for every 69 kPa
(10 psig) change in line pressure.
Response Time
Response time is defined as the
length of time required for the measured flow rate to be within the full
scale (FS) accuracy specification.
The typical response time is within
3 seconds from 10% to 95%SP.
The flow controller will respond to
setpoint changes within 50 msec of
receiving the new setpoint value.
Minimum Operating Pressure
The unit will operate within specification at any inlet pressure within
the range of 69 to 414 kPa (10-60
psig) and a minimum pressure drop
of 69 kPa (10 psid).
Temperature Increase of Flow
Controller Enclosure
The temperature increase within the
unit enclosure will be less than 30°C
(86°F). The temperature increase at
the exterior of the unit cover will be
less than 25°C (77°F).
The temperature increase of the
process fluid will be less than 3°C
(5°F) at 10% of flow and less than
0.5°C (0.9°F) at 100% of flow range
for the following product flow ranges:
0 – 50mL, 0 – 125 mL, 0 – 250 mL,
0 – 500 mL, 0 – 1250 mL. For all other
flow ranges, the temperature rise of
the process fluid is negligible, less
than 0.5°C (0.9°F), at all flows. Under
extended static flow conditions (i.e.,
no flow for >24 hours) the temperature increase of the process fluid will
be less than 15°C (27°F).
Warm-up Time
The flow controller requires a
warm-up time of 10 minutes after
power is applied. Warm-up time is
typically not required if the unit was
operated within 3 hours.
Pressure Measurement Accuracy
The accuracy of the pressure
output is ±1% of full scale. These
calcula- tions include the eects
of linearity, hysteresis and repeatability, measured at 23°C (73°F).

Maintenance
NT INTEGRATED FLOW CONTROLLER WITH DEVICENET COMMUNICATION
NORMAL OPERATION
—
During normal operation, the standard NT Integrated Flow Controller
with DeviceNet communication
requires no maintenance, other than
a periodic re-zero of the unit.
RE-ZERO FUNCTION
—
The no flow calibration of the flow
controller can be re-zeroed, meaning
that the flow output that corresponds
to zero flow may be reset.
NOTE: When executing the re-zero
function, there must be at least 7 kPa
(1 psig) of static pressure. Optimum
pressure for re-zero is the operation
pressure, typically greater than 69 kPa
(10 psig).
NOTE: The following procedure must
be followed precisely to ensure proper
flow controller re-zero.
The no flow calibration of the flow
controller can be re-zeroed, meaning
that the flow output that corresponds
to zero flow may be internally reset.
This is done with DeviceNet service
requests. The ‘Zero_Adjust’ service
command in the Analog Sensor
Object is sent to begin a re-zero
process. The ‘Stop_Zero_Adjust’
service command in the Analog
Sensor Object is sent to stop the
re-zero process.
When the re-zero function is
activated, the flow controller valve
module will close fully to ensure that
fluid is not flowing. The unit will verify
the no-flow condition, and then rezero the flow module. The entire
re-zero function is completed in
10 seconds.
In order to obtain best performance,
the re-zero function should be
performed, at minimum if possible,
every day of service when operating
at ambient temperature conditions.
The re-zero function should be performed more often if operating at
higher temperature. It is also recommended to perform a re-zero after
start-up and after fluid temperature
changes of greater than 5°C (41°F).
Best performance will be achieved
by re-zeroing between each dispense cycle.
Autozero Function
The no flow calibration of the flow
controller can be autozeroed,
meaning that the flow output that
corresponds to zero flow may be
automatically, internally reset whenever the setpoint is zero. Selecting
the ‘enabled’ setting of the ‘Autozero
Enable’ attribute in the Analog Sensor
Object does this. This is the default
setting.

actuator such that the fluid flow
rate is controlled to the setpoint.
This chapter contains two primary
sections. First, the device profile is
specified as it appears in general
DeviceNet specification. Second,
the vendor specific attributes,
services, behaviors, ranges and
capabilities are specified.
A Fluid Flow Controller (FFC) is a
device that measures and controls
the flow rate of a fluid (liquid or gas).
It contains three principle components: a flow rate sensor that can
be a virtual sensor based on other
sensors, for example pressure; a
fluid flow metering valve that can
be actuated by one of a variety of
actuator types, including, for example,

Vendor Specific Section
This section specifies the vendor
specific attributes, service and
behaviors supported by this device.
It is provided primarily to specify
which attributes and services are
supported and with what ranges.
NOTE: Specific definitions of attributes
