4 Function description
4.1 Functional principle
4.1.1 Usage
The electronic unit is provided for usage with a KRAL flowmeter.
Flowmeters generate a specific number of pulses per flow volume unit - depending on the size and
working point. This device-specific characteristic is called the K-factor (unit: pulses/liter) and is spe-
cified on the calibration certificate.
The pulse signals of one flowmeter can be evaluated. A pulse input for pick up with the following func-
tions is available:
oNPN
oPNP
oNamur
8OIE 15en-GB Edition 2020-03 Operating instructions

4 Function description
4.1 Functional principle
Either NPN or PNP can be selected for push-pull pick ups. In addition the flowmeter can also be
equipped with pick ups for flow direction detection. The electronic unit is supplied with settings in ac-
cordance with the customer requirements.
4.1.2 Volume measurement
Each positive edge of the pulse signal starts a period measurement and at the same time stops the
previous measurement. The flow rate is then calculated via the frequency (= inverse of the period dura-
tion) and the K-factor. The inverse of the K-factor is the pulse value in I/P. This is retroactively added to
the total sums for each positive edge of the signal.
4.1.3 Mass calculation
The volume can be converted into mass via a configurable fixed density value (menu4).
4.1.4 Averaging
A strongly fluctuating flow rate causes a jumping display or as a result a fluctuating analog output. The
averaging function reduces this effect by generating a averaging across several measured values. The
number of measured values for averaging can be set. See 2.07Averaging analog output and see
2.12Averaging display rate.
4.1.5 Flow direction detection
In extreme cases the flow direction can change through pulsations, meaning through liquid waves in
the pipe system. Through the use of two pick ups that supply signals out of phase by 90° (square wave
encoder signals), a reversal in the flow direction is recognized by means of the flow direction sensor
and taken into account when calculating the total value. The electronic unit offers incremental encoding
inputs for each flowmeter. This means that the flow direction can be determined without additional
components and taken into account in the calculation at any time.
4.1.6 Electronic evaluation
The electronic unit receives signals from the pick ups and calculates the measured values which are in-
dicated in the display unit and which can be called up at the analog output or at the Modbus interface.
Possibilities of the electronic unit:
oLanguage selection
oDisplay of the measured values in different units (volumes, masses and temperatures)
oAveraged display values
oA density for conversion to mass
oInformation message at faults or invalid inputs
o1 scalable and assignable analog output 0-10V or 4-20mA
o1 scalable and assignable pulse output
o1 analog input 0–10V for background illumination
4.1.7 Modbus connection
The electronic unit can be connected to the system by means of a Modbus interface and can thus be
integrated into existing systems. This ensures simple, reliable and rapid data exchange.
4.1.8 Applications

5 Transportation, storage
5.1 Scope of delivery
Value Meaning
0103 0400 0160 9E... 04=Response of BEM consists of 4 bytes:
00 0160 9E 1. Data byte 0 * 228 + 0 * 224 = 0
00 0160 9E 2. Data byte 0 * 220 + 1 * 216 = 65536
00 0160 9E 3. Data byte 6 * 212 + 0 * 28 = 24576
00 0160 9E 4. Data byte 9 * 24 + 14 * 20 = 158
The Modbus value therefore corresponds to the sum 90270
If the value of a data query of the data address is 4186 = 2 (see Tab. Data values number of decimal
places), the Modbus value has to be divided by 100. The result is then 902.7.
If the value of a data query of the data address is 4015 = 5 (see Tab. Data values unit total). The unit is
Total galUS.
The end result for TotalTA1 is therefore 902.7 galUS.
Notice The numbering of the register addresses starts at1, the data addressing at0. This is how e.g. when
reading register1 the data address0 is used.
Notice All units and the number of decimal places should be read out at least during initialization of the elec-
tronic unit, i.e. during switch-on, because these values can be modified manually.
Notice For parameter settings of the electronic unit via Modbus function 10(hex)=write holding registers (pre-
set multiple registers) can be used. Data exchange via the Modbus connection is not password-protec-
ted – avoid unintended overwriting of the total values or parameter addresses!
Notice All data can be read out or written in packages of up to 64words.
Reset of the total values via the Modbus:
oReset command TotalT1: 0110 4100 0002 0400 0000 00CF FC
oReset command TotalT2: 0110 4102 0002 0400 0000 004E 25
