ST100 Series Probus PA

Fluid Components International LLC 15

Conguration

For details on the general mounting, placement of sensor head, and mounting options see the Installation, “Operation & Maintenance Manual” for

the ST100 Series Thermal Mass Flow Meter, document number 06EN003400.

Setting the ST100 for Proﬁbus Operation

Note: If the ST100 was ordered from the factory as a Proﬁbus device, the factory will have conﬁgured the instrument for Proﬁbus,

and it will not be necessary to do any instrument conﬁguration.

The ST100 PC conﬁgurator is used to select the communication protocol.

Connect the PC with the conﬁgurator software to the ST100 USB port using FCI’s cable USB cable (FCI P/N 022646-01).

To conﬁgure the ST100 for Proﬁbus invoke the ST100 Conﬁgurator, then from the tree menu, on the left side, select “Conﬁguration”, then select the

“Output” tab. In the Output Tab select “Digital Output Board” and then from the pull down menu select “FF/Proﬁbus”.

Conﬁguring Process Parameters in the TB modules

The “Flow Transducer TB “ and the “Totalizer (FCI) TB” have a number of process related parameters that can be set within them. Theses parameters

include “Pipe” size under the NOMINAL_SIZE parameter; three ﬂow engineering unit types and the ability start and stop the ST100 internal FCI

TOTALIZER.

Pipe Settings: The NOMINAL_SIZE (slot 6, index 31) parameter, in the “Flow TB”, is use for entering a value of the pipe diameter. The engineering

units of the pipe are entered through the NOMINAL_SIZE_UNITS (slot 6, index 32) parameter.

Flow Units Settings: There are 3 possible ﬂow types (Volumetric, Mass, and Velocity) and each has in own engineering units parameter. Only one ﬂow

type is active at a time. For volumetric units use VOLUME_FLOW_UNITS, for mass ﬂow units use the MASS_FLOW_UNITS parameter, and for

velocity ﬂow use the VELOCITY_UNITS.

TOTALIZER Start or Stop: To start the internal FCI TOTALIZER load a 01 into the TOTALIZER_STATE parameter. Then to stop the internal TOTALIZER

load a value of 0.
