3 Operating elements
This Chapter describes how the Silometer FMC 671 Z/676 Z transmitters are operated.
It is divided into the following sections:
• Commutec operating matrix
• Operating and display elements: Silometer FMC 671 Z
• Operating and display elements: Silometer FMC 676 Z
3.1 Commutec operating matrix
All functions, including the analogue outputs and relay switch points are configured via
the operating matrix, see Figs 3.1 and 3.2:
• Each field in the matrix is accessed by a vertical (V) and horizontal (H)
position which can be entered at the front panel of the FMC 671 Z, by the
Commulog VU 260 Z and via a ZA 67… computer gateway.
• For information on ZA 67… operation see the operating manual BA 054F/00/en
and Technical Information sheet »Commutec Operating Program« TI 113F.
Operating matrix see page 62, 63.
