2.1.1 Gas flow meter

The FLOWSIC500 works according to the principle of ultrasonic transit time difference measurement.
Fig. 3 Functional principle
Measured signal transit times tAB and tBA are defined by the current sound and gas veloc­ity.
Gas velocity v is determined from the difference between the signal transit times. There­fore changes in the sound velocity caused by pressure or temperature fluctuations do not affect the calculated gas velocity with this measurement method.
The FLOWSIC500 calculates the volume flow rate internally from the gas velocity and the diameter of the measuring section of the gas flow meter.
Product Description

2.1.2 Volume conversion (optional)

The integrated volume conversion converts the measured gas volume from measurement conditions to base conditions.
Calculation according to EN 12405:
The measurement conditions are either determined with pressure and temperature trans­mitters or entered as fixed value.
The following short forms are used in this document for better readability:
Volume at base conditions = base volume
Volume at measurement conditions = measurement volume

Product Description

2.5.1 Pulse and status outputs

FLOWSIC500 has 4 digital switching outputs. Digital switching outputs DO_0, DO_2 and DO_3 are electrically isolated according to EN 60947-5-6.
Alternatively, digital switching outputs DO_2 and DO_3 can also be configured as Open Col­lector.
When used as pulse output, maximum 2 kHz can be output on digital switching output DO_0 and maximum 100 Hz on digital switching outputs DO_2 and DO_3. When used as status output, status information "Validity of measurement" or the result of the self-diagno­sis can be represented.
Digital switching output DO_1 is not electrically isolated. In normal mode, the diagnosis warning is output on DO_1, test pulses are output in test mode.
The digital switching outputs are updated synchronously once per second.

2.5.2 Encoder totalizer

Alternatively, NAMUR switching output DO_0 can be configured so that the reading of total­izer Vm, the meter status and a meter identification are output via asynchronous serial communication. This allows the connection of volume convertors with a suitable input for encoder totalizers.
NOTICE:
If encoder communication has been configured, ensure that the transferred number of digits and the counter resolution can be processed by a connected volume converter.
When the parameter locking switch is open, a parameter change can be per­formed at the FLOWSIC500 using the FLOWgate500 operating software.

2.5.3 Serial data interface

The serial interface is designed as externally powered RS485 and requires an external intrinsically safe power supply for operation. The RS485 interface has no internal line ter­mination.

2.5.4 Optical data interface

An optical interface according to IEC 62056-21 with serial bit, asynchronous data trans­mission is located on the front of the FLOWSIC500.
The interface can be used to read out data and parameter settings and to configure the FLOWSIC500.

2.6 Device option: Volume conversion

2.6.1 Volume conversion

The FLOWSIC500 gas flow meter with volume conversion captures the gas volume under measurement conditions and converts it to a volume under base conditions.
Gas volume conversion can run selectively (set at the factory) as PTZ or TZ volume conver­sion: The configuration as temperature volume conversion uses the default value for mea­surement pressure for calculations.
Measurement conditions are recorded with the pressure and temperature transmitters or entered as fixed values.
By default, measured values recording and subsequent conversion to the volume under base conditions are performed every 30 seconds. The update interval can be adjusted p. 69, § 5.2.6.5, “Calculation”.
Depending on the configuration, the compressibility factor (K-factor) is determined with one of the following calculation methods or can be entered as a fixed value.
SGERG88,
AGA 8 Gross method 1
AGA 8 Gross method 2
AGA NX-19
AGA NX-19 mod.
Fixed value
The FLOWSIC500 checks the permissible entry limits of the parameters for the selected calculation method. If one of the entry values is outside the limit values, the FLOWSIC500 switches to malfunction state and uses the fixed value of the compressibility factor for cal­culation of the basis volume.
An absolute pressure transmitter EDT 23 (optional: relative pressure transmitter EDT 23) and a temperature transmitter EDT 34 measure current measurement conditions and transfer the transmitter type, measured value as well as the transmitter status via a digital interface.
The FLOWSIC500 reads the valid measuring range automatically and, periodically, the cur­rent status and measured value.
A transmitter is only activated for measurement when the configured serial number matches the serial number transferred for the transmitter.
If no transmitter is detected or a transmitter is not functioning correctly, the FLOWSIC500 automatically uses the stored default value (= fixed value) of the state vari-
able. In this case, the FLOWSIC500 switches to malfunction state and, using the default value,
stores the volume under base conditions calculated for pressure or temperature in the error volume counter.
If not specified otherwise, the FLOWSIC500 is supplied with the following standard set­tings:

2.6.2 Integrated pressure and temperature transmitters

The FLOWSIC500 with volume conversion and integrated pressure and temperature trans­mitters does not have any external components. The internal pressure and temperature transmitters are already fitted and calibrated at the factory. The measuring ports are located in the gas flow meter.
This means the FLOWSIC500 does not require any additional installation of transmitters to determine the measurement conditions and is immediately ready for operation after vol­ume conversion has been configured.

2.6.3 External pressure and temperature transmitters

The FLOWSIC500 with volume conversion and external transmitters is used at measuring ports where a test/calibration of the pressure or temperature transmitter in the system may be required.
It is recommended to install a three-way test valve that separates the pressure transmitter from the measurement pressure and provides a test connection to test the pressure trans­mitter.

Product Description

2.7.2 Reverse flow

The FLOWSIC500 is designed as unidirectional type and has a configurable zero-flow cutoff which is factory set to a value of 1 m
The totalizers are stopped during reverse flow and this volume is counted in a separate buf­fer totalizer. When normal operation resumes, the buffer totalizer is first computed with the flow.
The totalizers are first incremented again after the reverse flow volume has passed through.
During reverse flow, the meter first switches to malfunction when the preconfigured buffer volume has been exceeded. An error message is output on the device.

2.9 Parameter protection

2.9.1 Parameter locking switch

A parameter locking switch is located on the circuit board to secure the calibration-relevant parameters. This covers all values that influence volume metering and volume conversion.
Fig. 7 Parameter locking switch on the circuit board
Product Description
The parameter locking switch is secured by the terminal compartment cover and a seal.

2.9.2 Metrology logbook

Selected calibration-relevant parameters can be modified when the parameter locking switch is closed and after logging in as authorized user.
To ensure traceability of these parameter changes, an entry is created in the Metrology log­book. This entry contains the timestamp, old and new value of the parameter changed, meter reading V (for gas flow meters) or Vb (for gas flow meters with device option volume conversion) and the logged on user.
The Metrology logbook can have a maximum of 100 entries. The FLOWSIC500 switches to status "Warning" when the Metrology logbook is full.
The Metrology logbook can be cleared when the parameter locking switch is open. Parame­ter changes to the following parameters are entered in the Metrology logbook as long as entries are possible

Operating conditions for the ultrasonic sensors
The pipeline contains a non­explosive mixture. The gas mix­ture can be combustible.
Gas pressure and gas tempera­ture can be within the range specified on the type plate of the gas flow meter.
Case 2:
The area inside the pipeline is clas­sified as potentially explosive atmo­sphere Zone 1 or 2.
The gas pressure must be within the range 0.8 (11.6 psi) to 1.1 bar (15.95 psi) (normal atmospheric conditions).
Gas temperature must be within the permitted ambient temperature range specified by the type plate on the gas flow meter
Zone 1 or 2
Case 1:
Zone 1 or 2
Non-explosive gas mixture
Zone 1 or 2
The FLOWSIC500 is designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres solely under normal atmospheric conditions within the following limits.
– Ambient pressure range 0.8 bar (11.6 psi) to 1.1 bar (15.95 psi) – Air with normal oxygen content, normally 21 percent by volume The ambient temperature must be within the range specified on the type plate. The gas flow meter becomes part of the pipeline as soon as the FLOWSIC500 is installed in
the pipeline. The walls of the pipeline and the gas flow meter then serve as zone-separating barrier. The
following Figure shows the different situations for a possible application and the operating conditions that apply.
Fig. 15 Ex zones
Installation
WARNING: Risk of ignition due to impact on the ultrasonic transducers
T
he ultrasonic transducers are manufactured from titanium. The pipeline adaptor and part of the electronic enclosure may be made from aluminium. In rare cases, ignition sources due to impact and friction sparks could occur.
The maximum piezo-electric energy released by impact on the ultrasonic trans­ducers exceeds the limit for Gas Group IIC specified in Clause 10.7 of EN60079-11:2012.
For this reason, the ultrasonic transducers may only be used in zone 1 when risks of ignition arising from impacts or friction on the sensor housing can be ruled out within the application.
Only ultrasonic transducers provided by SICK may be used!

7.2 Maintenance when using external power supply

7.2.1 Service life of backup battery

When new, the capacity of the backup battery has been calculated for bridging up to 3 months failure of the supply voltage. When voltage supply is not interrupted, the service life is at least 10 years when stored at approx. 25 °C (77 °F).
Repeated, even short-time voltage failure reduces the remaining buffer capacity of the bat­tery so that exchange is recommended.
If both the supply voltage and the backup battery fail, the clock setting is lost and the FLOWSIC500 does not measure anymore. Meter readings determined until then and parameter settings remain permanently stored.

7.2.2 Changing the backup battery

WARNING: Risk of explosion - hazard for intrinsic safety
Only the exchangeable battery packs from SICK with part nos. 2064018 and the backup battery with part no. 2065928 may be used.
1 Ensure external voltage supply. 2 Open the electronics cover (p. 39, § 3.4.3) 3 Loosen the connection of the backup battery. 4 Remove the backup battery. 5 Insert a new backup battery and connect the battery to connection BAT2. 6 Close the electronics cover (p. 39, § 3.4.3) 7 Confirm battery replacement on the display (p. 74, § 5.2.13).

7.3 Maintenance when using battery power supply

7.3.1 Service life of battery packs

Under typical operating conditions, the expected total service life of both battery packs is 5 years.
The FLOWSIC500 needs more power
when the display is used frequently,
when the infrared interface is used,
when the encoder output is frequently used (scanning cycles < 15 min).
When the electrically isolated NAMUR output (DO_0) is used, an external voltage supply is recommended due to the significantly higher power requirement.
The capacity of the batteries is reduced in unfavorable climatic conditions, for example when the temperatures are significantly higher or lower than 25°C
The complete failure of both battery packs results in the loss of the clock set­tings and the FLOWSIC500 does not measure anymore.
Meter readings determined until then as well as the parameter settings remain permanently stored.

7.3.2 Changing the battery packs
