Standard Measurement
Units
The units for the cyclical and acyclical data can be set here. All parameters accessible to
the PLC will be transmitted or received by the specified unit.
Refresh Time
The refresh time is the minimum time needed to update a measurement value. The refresh time
has no effect on the damping of the measured values. The refresh time of the temperature
values is a constant but the refresh time of the other measurement values can be adapted to
the process:
- A very short refresh time is needed if the process requires quick volume flow rate measurement updates, for example for very short dosing.
- A long refresh time is sufficient if for example there are slow flow rate changes in the process.
Refresh time mode | Volume flow rate | Density | Mass flow rate |
|---|---|---|---|
Very short | ~ 25 ms | ~1 s | ~ 25 ms |
Short | ~ 40ms | ~1 s | ~ 40 ms |
Long | ~ 75 ms | ~0.5 s | ~ 75 ms |
TIP:
The values in the table are given for information only
and may vary according to diameter and software version.
Viscosity Compensation
To get as accurate measurements of the volume flow rate, the mass flow rate or the liquid
velocity as possible, you can activate the compensation of the kinematic viscosity (in
mm
2
/s). The following kinematic viscosity compensations are available: For water or a liquid whose viscosity u (in mm
2
/s) varies with the temperature T
(in °C) like the viscosity of water and in the same range as water. Default setting. The
related equation is:
The viscosity compensation value can be selected from Water, Constant, Linear, Quadratic,
Inverse Quadratic
Viscosity compensation | Liquid type |
|---|---|
Water | Water, WFI, UPW |
Constant | Known kinematic constant viscosity and no change of liquid temperature |
Linear | Known kinematic quadratic viscosity proportional to liquid temperature |
Quadratic | Known kinematic quadratic viscosity proportional to liquid temperature and
temperature square |
Inverse Quadratic | Known kinematic Inverse quadradic viscosity proportional to liquid temperature
and temperature square |
